This is simply a poem told from Harry's point of view. He reflects on his life and the lives of his friends.

Sirius and Remus were not a particularly happy couple during the time of Voldemort's first rise. Suspicion ran rampant between the two, each certain that the other was the traitor. Finally, the two separated - temporarily. But 'temporary' can end up being a very long time indeed.

Mrs. Black's portrait is a staple in Grimmauld Place. Everyone who visits there is influenced by her in some way or another; the warning against ringing the doorbell, tiptoeing around the house so not to start her screaming, and so on.

How are you supposed to grow into a functioning adult when for years you rarely see the sky? Marcus struggles to identify himself either within or without circumscribed Slytherin traits. Oliver helps. This is a character study, a critique of the Hogwarts house system, and against all odds, a love story.

Stemming from a line that popped into my head one evening after an Armchair Chat, describing Draco lying in the snow, dying. A rather dark little piece on role-reversal.

The Harry Potter universe has many examples of the false economy of isolating and imprisoning decent people "for their own good". Sibyll Trelawney is a case in point. What if she was a valuable resource that was squandered by Dumbledore?

You can't always get what you want.... Ron loves Harry, but Harry doesn't exactly feel the same.

Remus reflects on how music has influenced in his life in both good and bad times, with particular emphasis on the phonograph seen in the film version of PoA.

Albus Dumbledore once said, "Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here." Three very different men are unable to move forward in their own situations. Perhaps the magic of a simple melody can be powerful enough to help them. One-shot.

He gets frustrated as he has trouble concentrating on his studies, his best friend is on cloud nine, Quidditch practice goes crazy, and he can't avoid the red head who he is forced to do Head duties with.

With a large new cast of characters and a far more dramatic storyline, it's GS like you've never seen it before.

Hermione never thought growing up would be complicated.

A post-DH AU in three parts. Even in the best of all possible worlds, happy endings aren't for everyone. Both of them prefer this ending, really; not much for the storybooks, but most stories are tragedies, anyway. Leave those endings to the tales they'll read to Teddy.

Neville has the most unlikely of admirers. (Written for 30 Days of Neville at xnevillelovingx)

'Lily Potter is falling...' What happens after death. Lily thinks back. Lily/James, hints of Remus/Sirius.

Rita Skeeter, Roving Reporter. Yeah right. Rita's ruined, and in the wizard prison Culparrat, all for the little crime of revealing the magical world to the muggles, even if it was only in a fiction book. Now it's the day before she is released, and she is thinking back to years before when Lily and James died, when she had best friends, and when she was free.

Even in dreams, Draco knows he is incapable of the task he has set. [Draco/Terry Boot, Harry/Draco, Harry/Terry, PG-13.]

Written for the HP_Remnants "After THe War" challenge on LiveJournal with the prompt "And the picture frames are staring down/and the ringing from this empty sound/is deafening and keeping you from sleep", a lyric from a Dashboard Confessional song. Although this is by no means a song-fic, I did listen to the song several times while writing.

Two wars are fought against Voldemort, with two vastly different endings. Seventeen years after Severus betrayed the Dark Lord, Voldemort is finally vanquished. But will Severus' troubles be finally over? Post-MMWP for the first war and Post-HBP for the second war. Slash SS/RL. Character Death

Harry struggles the year after winning the Triwizard Tournament. All his waking and sleeping moments are spent worrying about the Terror that is Lord Voldemort; but what if there was another Horror... behind the veil?

Who would have thought that Hermione Granger would find joy in such nothingness and uncertainty? She liked that about herself. She liked that there was this untouchable part of herself that she did not particularly understand. There were questions with no answers, and when they had first crept into her waking consciousness, they disturbed and frightened her, but now... well, now was different wasn’t it?

Sometimes, reading other people's minds is not fun. Sometimes it leads you further than expected. Just... Be happy you lived to tell the tale.

Fred Weasley is on his way home from a normal day at work when he comes across something that changes his life forever... and forces him to grow up faster than he would have liked.

[One shot. Peter centric] There are two choices that can be made, and both basically amount to 'lose everything'. What do you do; save your own life, or die to protect your friends? Either way, you know you're condemned. This is a version of Peter Pettigrew's joining the Dark Lord - what would make a loyal fellow to betray his friends? He was a Marauder; he must have been decent before his crimes soured everybody's memories of him. He must have had a motivation, and here's an idea of what it could have been.

As taken from "The Tales of Beedle the Bard"

Really what the title say, the story of the Sorting Hat, what it thinks about its job and how it got it.

Pansy doesn't have the best of luck with men....

I think I hear laughter coming from the grand ballroom - laughter and faint strains of chamber music, glasses clinking and healed shoes on the polished marble floor. It must be a memory, a ghost of Christmas past, because when I step into the room it is empty.````Draco goes home his sixth year for a very different Christmas (little hints of one-sided D/H).

Cold. Oh so very cold. Brick, stone, bars, locks.. they want to keep me in and I want to get out. I want to find him.

But there is a bit of a catch for, you see, neither is anything without the others. The individual will starve in the woods while the collective survives. They are the four proverbial pieces to the proverbial puzzle, differently shaped but equal to the others in every way. There is no keystone for they are all keystones.

Tiger, tiger, burning bright. [Harry/Draco, Draco/Terry Boot, Harry/Terry Boot. A study in avoidance.]

A one-shot song fic to "The Lucky One" by Alison Krauss. Peter had never been lukcy. He always needed help. He never had good grades, never got the girls... unlike Sirius. Sirius has always been the lucky one... and to Peter, he always will be.

Okay, anyone who was read OoTP knows how Harry's taking Sirius's death so far, but what about Remus?

One moonlit night, Remus Lupin contemplates the happenings of his life and the first half of seventh year. Vignette. [Sirius/Remus, James/Lily]

This story chronicles the events leading up to Snape becoming a full-fledged Death Eater, beginning with the end of his friendship with Lily Evans in his fifth year. It will be installed in four parts, maybe five if I get over-ambitious. I used to write HP fanfiction weekly, but I haven't written in years, so reviews and the lot are very very appreciated! And yes, the title is taken from a Brand New song. The song lyrics do not play a part in the story, but I thought that the title fit very well--read on to see what I mean!

A fifteen year old named Viviane Devereaux survives the destruction of her school, Aquitaine, but where can she go next?

The fire had started as a small flame, but slowly it had spread through out his soul - deep, deep in him it had burnt. Sirius in Azkaban just before breakout...

Only on her wedding day, did she finally find peace...
