Every time the thunder would roll, she felt it in the marrow of her bones, as if nature understood the deep agony she held inside of her and it was being reverberated throughout the environment as well. Nature would wail with the wind, bellow with the thunder, weep with the rain, and showcase rage with the lightning.

Regina took the small box from Fred, slid her finger under the paper and carefully unwrapped it. She slipped the lid of the box off and stared at the exquisite dragon hair clip with matching earrings. The dragons were made out of jade and edged with gold. The hair clip was large enough to hold Regina's hair in a high ponytail but small enough to hold a small amount of her hair away from her face. She pulled the earrings from the box and removed her small gold studs to put her new earrings on. The dragon earrings dangled about an inch from her earlobes. They swung with each turn of her head.

"A fine line runs between almost everything in life. Sometimes we choose to cross that line, and other times we're pushed across it. And on occasion, that line is broken entirely, taking the choice out of anyone's hands. I didn't like any of the situations. If I chose to cross it myself, then that would mean that I was responsible for what I had done. If I had no choice in the matter, then at least I'd be able to blame someone else, and then, just maybe, no one would blame me. I had no such luck."

How does Tonks join the Order? How does she react to seeing Sirius for the first time since he went to Azkaban? Post GoF.

It was cold and dark that day, but it was not wet. The rain didn’t start until it was all over – it was there to wash the battlefield clean. The two sides faced each other across the march. Endless rows of hooded, cloaked figures were lined up against our ragtag ranks. All faded into the fog.

Draco lies dying on the battlefield. He thinks about his life choices and dying.

Lazing on a sunny afternoon... Evan Rosier and Rodolphus Lestrange find that what is momentary doesn't have to be trivial.

It's funny, what kind of people became Death Eaters. Mudbloods, half-bloods and purebloods all joined the Dark Lord's ranks, even though originally he intended to maintain the purity of blood, and kill any mudbloods or half-bloods, by now he was only interested in one thing: killing Harry Potter. It seems that over the years, a lot of people decided to try and help him do just that. Let me tell you about some of the people who joined Death Eaters. Ron's POV.

They save a dying man. They bring light and hope into the darkest corners of the world. They escape from a Hell from which none have ever done before. They say that in order to become a saint, one must first perform three miracles. A Hermione and Luna story.

This is a parody. What if Harry Potter was an American red neck cowboy? This is an exercise in learning how to write dialogue different from the normal English language. The British readers may have problems with it. I was also trying to develop dialogue which suggests sensual themes, but does not define them. What is really going on is in the minds of the reader. Overall, intense romance, strong sexual content, and a lot of humor, I hope. The story got the best of me. It was only supposed to be about six pages. I feel bad about writing it and I don't suggest you read it.

Man creates his own world, of fences and gates, of space and place and time but it's all the same, all a way of measuring off what doesn't truly belong to him.

Remus muses about the year of Prisoner of Azkaban, and his past as a Marauder. Of course this adorable werewolf isn't so cheery on his off hours. Here are his thoughts on the world around him thus far.

There are some scars that never fade, some wounds that never heal. Tom Riddle's presence lingered in Ginny's mind, like an incurable disease. As Ginny clings to what's left of her sanity, she waits for Harry to save her, like he did before. But Harry's been branded by the Dark Lord as well, and he's not the hero that Ginny believes him to be.

Ron can't understand why his friends don't understand. Featuring lots of Weasley temper. Remus/Ron, post-DH AU. Written for rarepair_shorts on LJ. Prompt: just like everyone else.

PoA era. Severus Snape takes a thoughtful stroll down Diagon Alley at the start of the Christmas holidays, but it soon turns into a quite a harrowing ordeal for our favourite Potions Master. Contains some rather dark humour. You have been warned!

Dear Diary, Bill handed me this book and told me to write in it. He said I needed it… But the last time I had a diary, it didn’t really work out for me. But Bill told me he bought this in a Muggle bookshop, so I know that there won’t be any incarnates of You-Know-Who hiding it in. Anyway, I just started my sixth year at Hogwarts last week. Harry finally asked me out (hurrah! It’s been long enough). We haven’t had a chance to go on the date yet, but a Hogsmeade weekend is coming up soon. I can’t wait! -Ginny

Remus' faith is betrayed. (*slash*, Remus/Sirius)

Sirius and Ginny's pasts have both been tainted by Lord Voldemort. Sirius is haunted by nightmares as a result, and Ginny, battling with her own demons, talks to him. With little help from Dumbledore and a bottle of purple potion, sweet dreams result. Takes place in the summer of OotP.

If Snape hadn't transferred his grudges onto a student, and Harry hadn't hated his professor as a result, they wouldn't have been friends or allies, but perhaps there would have been a grudging respect between them.

Mrs. Figg had a thing for cats.

Once more featuring a very carefully written original character. It seems that making the decision to renounce the Death Eaters is a difficult one, and when the decision is made for you, the outcome usually doesn't bode well.

Philip Shoskey is an ordinary man trying to overcome the loss of the love of his life, Terry Rosier. However, after a surprise meeting with a man long thought dead, some of Terry's secrets are exposed, and hold roots that will change Harry's life forever.

AU. A fishing boat drifts into a dragon preserve off the coast of Alaska. This is a story of what might transpire.
