Definition of 'hag': an ugly, old woman who smells horrible and has warts all over the place. A hag is also what Hermione Granger calls her younger (and previously unknown) sister. Of course, Helen prefers the nickname Helen of Troy. Much more suitable for her (so-called) exotic aura and beauty. Of course, Hermione would just say 'hag' fits better. Sisters are sisters.

This is couple of little scenes, drawn together under the assumptions that evil villains do sit together for a nightcap like everyone else, too.

Post-DH George Weasley/Angelina Johnson, prompted by Rowling's saying of the pairing that "maybe it's a bit unhealthy, but I think that they would've been happy." A writing challenge if I ever saw one ;)

The story doesn't follow HBP but incorporates some of its ideas.

A series of short vignettes featuring some of our favorite (and not so favorite) minor characters.

Unrequited love can do funny things to a witch... or to a wizard. Tonks and Merope weren\'t the only ones to have trouble with their powers- in 1976, James Potter had his own problems as well. Contains het, two paragraphs of slash, and reference to bodice ripper novels.

Hermione bears the self inflicted wounds from her own private hell seven years after the downfall of the Dark Lord. Having lost her magical powers, she applies to a job as assistant potion maker at Hogwarts which now has none other than Severus Snape as headmaster. Snape is more irascible than ever and makes life difficult for Hermione. A sordid little tale of power, manipulation, sex, dominance and submission, and (dare I say) love between two physically and emotionally scarred survivors who need it most desparately. A bit of a crossover fic based on both Harry Potter and the 2002 movie "Secretary" starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader.

The sins of the father are often visited upon the son. But does the son have to blindly accept the weight of their parent's legacy? A sequel of sorts to "I Saw My Lady Weep".

Sequel to "Power of the Musea."

"...As for Harry Potter, his circumstances were the same as the wizarding world - he just didn't know how to begin living life again. This, above all, is his story. A story of rebuilding." H/G, R/Hr.

Out of sheer boredom, I began reading HP theories from various sites, and I was amazed at what people were coming up with. Anyway, the next thing I noticed were a bunch of plot bunnies tap dancing on my desk. This is not meant to be read anyone who is sensitive about characters, theories or 'ship. Read, enjoy and review!

24. James decides to write a book titled, "How I Did It." Nobody is entirely sure what "It" is.

Severus Snape contemplates the events of the HBP and relives the memories of several key events not yet in canon such as the meeting with Voldemort after GOF, the nature of the mysterious relationship between Snape and the Malfoys, and the events on the tower with Dumbledore in this author's attempt to explore a duty bound Snape.

This is the third and last part of this three-part story about the Malfoys. It is the sequel to 'Ad Mortem Festinamus' and 'Omnia Mors Perimit', and deals with the time between Dumbledore's death and the final resolution.

Remus is looking forward to his last year at Hogwarts, and even though he knows it'll be no easier than the previous years, some facts are going to make this the toughest. Slight AU (though not really, as we'll never really know what actually happened).

Harry. Ginny. Hermione. Love potions. Moments missing from your copy of Book 6. Because some things are just a really bad idea. (Featuring a special guest appearance by the Half-Blood Prince. May offend people who ship ... er, period.)

Harry discovers that you never know where a single kiss will take you. (Post-HBP.)

A mistake was made and Voldemort didn't die during the final battle.

See A/N in the prologue for more details.

Harry has Horcruxes to find, a Dark Lord to vanquish, and if that's not enough, a girl to consider. My version of Harry's seventh year, as canon as I can make it, with likely more fluff than Jo herself would include.

But when she discovers that Snape didn't betray the Order of the Phoenix, she finds another way to help the cause: becoming a Death Eater to spy. But when no one around Ginny knows right from wrong, it becomes harder and harder for her to tell the difference as well...

Juxtaposition= two extremes together. Fred and George struggle to define their feelings for one another. SLASH, TWINCEST, ect. Twoshot.

Pansy Parkinson made an oath after Draco Malfoy failed to fulfill his mission: she wouldn't be caught on the losing side. In the world of war, a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do, whether it's drugging family members, arranged marriages, having a child, or becoming a Death Eater. Watch Pansy Parkinson struggle to make ends meet with the help of her friends, a little sarcasm and lots of aged Firewhiskey.

As he attempts to master one of the darkest curses, Harry discovers that an old enemy holds the key to something he wants even more than Voldemort's destruction. A continuation of Crucio, and the second story in the Unforgiveables trilogy.

In the summer before Draco's 7th year, he has an unexpected encounter with a Ginny Weasley. Ginny suspects he has a secret agenda, but then again, so does she. "I don’t know what your game is, Draco Malfoy, but trust me, I’m going to find out, Ginny decided."

I find the romances contained in the HP series to be "great" romances. Therefore the idea has spun in my head to deliver other great romantic moments in television, movies and other stories through the prism of HP characters. Lots of fluff, but told with HP ships through situations found in other great romantic tales. A chapter for each converted tale. Primarily R/Hr, but with a little G/H (and maybe some others) thrown in as well. Most should be generally Canon compliant, but some things may have to be made AU to fit.

It is known that Albus Dumbledore once let a werewolf study at Hogwarts, and according to what the human race has learned, history is bound to repeat itself. Here is a tale of another werewolf that Professor Dumbledore let study at his school during the times of Harry Potter.

Over the course of a day, Draco comes to realize his level of commitment to his relationship with Hermione. (Draco/Hermione, also featuring a snarky Narcissa and Pansy, and an obnoxious jewelry shop owner; this is fluffy crack!)

Sparks fly and glasses shatter when two elite Aurors, Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy, are assigned to pose as Ashton and Bryhoney Seaton, a newly married couple, to catch the Death Eaters roaming free even twelve years after Voldemort was defeated.

They would kill each other, even if they kept alone with each other for more than an hour...or so they claimed.

Beneficent Bast considers herself the foremost authority on Kneazles. This opinion is shared by few. A story in six parts about Crookshanks and his sometimes wayward person during various stages.

Following Dumbledore's death, Draco Malfoy finds himself a prisoner and a ghost of sorts, held captive in an unfamiliar, mouldering mansion and invisible to all but one under the protection of the Fidelius Charm.

Being sorted into Gryffindor was possibly the worst fate imaginable for Sirius Black, eldest son of a long line of ancient and noble pure-blooded Slytherins.

The end is near. Harry is dying and only one man can save him. Will Severus be able to do it in time?

Harry didn't realize what he was looking for until it was right in front of him.

It's Christmas, and Harry is alone at his flat in London for a few days before the Weasleys arrive. An unexpected visit from Sirius turns it into one of the best holidays Harry's ever had.

Andromeda Black had it all; great sisters, a name that was respected (and feared), and wealth beyond belief, but she gave it all up for love. This is a coming of age story about a Pureblood, who wasn't concerned with a person's blood status. Follow Andromeda as she struggles to break free from the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, and becomes an enemy to her sisters.

Thirteen years after the Dark Lord was vanquished, Draco Malfoy is out of Azkaban, wandless, practically destitute and physically afflicted from his trespasses against Voldemort. Who should chance by and save this shell of a man from the ice he has become, but a fiery redhead from his dark past.

Hermione wants to give Ron the best Christmas present she can possibly give. Unfortunately, it requires a sacrifice.

Protection of the heart is key. When Severus Snape fears for the ability of his heart to retain intact, he pushes away the one who puts his heart in the most jeopardy. Can Harry Potter keep his place and, more importantly, his heart where they belong? Snarry, disregard HBP and DH.
