This is a collection of moments of wondering, self-doubt and romance, leading up to the revelation in HBP that opened all our eyes ... and a little way beyond.

Debts will be repaid, revenge will transpire, emotions will run high, cowards will find courage: all in the name of love. Rated PG-13 for a combination of references, violence, and emotional content. Pairings, though mostly unimportant to the plot of this fan fiction, are in line with canon: HPGW and RWHG.

Laocoon's Children is an alternate-universe fic based on the events of an earlier fic, Stealing Harry. In Stealing Harry, Sirius was never imprisoned in Azkaban and abducted Harry from the Dursleys when he was eight years old. Laocoon's Children takes up the story during Harry's first year at Hogwarts, where he made fast friends with Neville Longbottom, Padma Patil, and Draco Malfoy. Harry's gang also reunited for their second year, where they faced a basilisk, a homicidal diary, and Draco's mother's betrayal. In year three, Harry must face many new problems: protecting Draco from his father, dealing with their new Dark Arts professor, and standing firm against the aura of fear that is pervading the wizarding world.

Harry Potter/Stargate SG-1 crossover. Wizards and Goa'uld can be a dangerous combination.

This is my first fanfic, based on an original idea of JK Rowling's. When she posted that "I don't think his history will ever make it into the books." I decided I'd have a go at telling the story myself. This fic is set alongside Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, this year Harry's fellow Gryffindor Dean Thomas discovers that everything he knows about his family is wrong...

A Post-Hogwarts Story. How do you reconcile when you’ve changed so much and yet so little?

Three years post-HBP. Hermione and the Order want to break Harry out of Azkaban. The bespectacled twit got himself thrown in there when he failed to kill Lucius Malfoy subtly enough. Starts off H/G and R/Hr but Ron and Ginny are killed off in the first chapter. Hermione burns Harry in effigy, kills Draco, negotiates with a traitorous and unredeemable Snape, brews potions with Fleur, gets drunk with the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan, organizes an illegal jailbreak, writes columns for the Quibbler, and helps Harry come to terms with his Animagus form. This fic comes with a warning (aimed at diabetic readers) for an excessively sappy ending.

Scorpius Malfoy was always a loner. The Lone Wolf, as he was often called. He didn't have any friends, nor did he care to associate with the other students anyway. But when he starts his sixth year at Hogwarts, things change. After many a collision with Rose Weasley, maybe a friendship may start to form despite what they both want.

Ever wonder what happened to Dudley and his parents after they took that right turn off Private Drive during Harry's 7th Year. Well, this is my own interpretation of what happens to Dudley, and how he changes from the character we all knew and mostly disliked to someone who embraces the wizarding world...

GoF in the words of Cedric Diggory as you've never seen him before. Nobody's hero and nobody's fool, not only did he survive Voldemort's rebirth but he's decided to set the story straight about his sixth and 'final' year.

Surviving the war was easy. Learning to live again will be much more difficult.

"Well, that's an interesting question, and quite a long story. I suppose the real reason Ginny Weasley's like this is because she opened her heart and spilled all her secrets to an invisible stranger."

In the Trio's seventh year, the Wizarding World has lost its second war against the Dark Lord. The Death Eaters conquered Hogwarts, defeated the Order of the Phoenix, and overthrew the Ministry of Magic.

Harry and his friends are forced into hiding, but far from giving up hope they form their own secret rebellion. In four cycles, Amicus Draconis tells the story of a world shattered and rebuilt throughout three wizarding wars, of two masterminds moving people like figures on a chessboard, and a boy torn between his destiny and his one true love.

As a little boy, Charlie Weasley cultivated a passion for dragons. But that little boy had no way of knowing where that passion would take him in life.

This story of Bill and Fleur's wedding from the perspective of the trio and Ginny Weasley. And why is Mrs. Weasley so interested in what is going on?

This “nifty, big, red, beautiful book”, according to James. Peter says to make it my life’s work, adding to it as my life progresses. They’re all idiots, but maybe I’m even worse, since I’m here writing in the blasted thing. (This fan fiction is an AU)

Harry Potter had once believed that his seventh year at Hogwarts would be a year to cherish. Yet as September approaches, Harry finds himself reluctant to return. When he does, the castle is nearly empty, its corridors silent, the teachers half-hearted and afraid, and the High Table devoid of the familiar twinkle-eyed headmaster. Those of Harry's friends that did return have changed as well: Ron seems to be hiding something, Hermione is obsessed almost to the point of insanity over finding the Horcruxes, and Neville is acting more violently than before after every Death Eater attack. Harry himself is becoming increasingly attached to the question of "What if...?" and also, the words "Neither can live while the other survives."

With Voldemort winning the Second Wizarding War, Hermione goes searching for help, and finds it: at the Los Angeles branch of Wolfram & Hart. Crossover with Angel.

[NEW CHAPTER: THIS FIC IS BACK!] "Lily sprung to a sitting position. It wasn't working. She could not stop thinking, stop remembering. He had reminded her of what it felt like to feel alive again and it was too much. Reciting four words to herself was not going to suppress it any longer." -Chap. 4

And then a long-lost stranger turns up on Lupin's doorstep and changes it all. Where has Harry been? Why does everyone think he's dead? And, most important of all, how will things change now he's back for good?

We know how their story ends, but how did it begin? A tale of love amidst a back drop of war. R/T This story begins at the end of OOTP. We will be following canon for now, but reserve the right to change our collective minds.

And to top it all, he had found himself a girl. And not just any girl. A girl worthy of touching a Malfoy, quite a difficult requirement to meet.

As the years have passed, Harry Potter has been somewhat silent as to what occurred in the war. Many have written his story, but he has been aloof from attempts to have him put down his recollections of that turbulent time. Now, with a surprising change of his mind, he decides that there is one story that needs to be told. It is the story of his discovery of the weapon that would win the war, and the thanks he owes to his best friends, and his great mentor, for that discovery. This was intended as a one-shot, but it quickly grew to be unmanageably long, so it is chaptered. I hope you enjoy the recollections of an elderly Harry Potter, and please read and review.
