04/30/2004Remus's pov on Sirius and the aftermath of his death.
Lord Snotface by wonwon wontons
10/26/2006This is a one-shot. In it, there is this new thing called powersnot that Harry and some others want to create; it will fight Voldemort to the death, which says something, since powersnot almost never loses its battles. A bit of light fluff included, nothing serious or big. This is a silly fic, but most people (so far!) like it and find it funny and cute. Read and be the judge!

Death by Lanni Weasley
07/10/2005"To Hermione Granger, life was like a blank piece of parchment—like Transfiguration homework before it was completed—like an essay." The companion to You’re Dead.

Cormac McLaggen and the Doxy Diversion by Miranda Shadowind
10/06/2007Cormac McLaggen claimed he missed Quidditch trials in 1995 because he ate doxy eggs for a bet. But was the timing of this "Fear Factor"-esc challenge more than just coincidence? And what do the Weasley twins have to do with any of this?

Through the Trapdoor Again by Samiaow
05/30/2011Hermione Granger's death. Totally canon-compliant, and a little sad. This was what I thought Hermione's death would be like after reading about Harry's "death" in Deathly Hallows.

A Time to Keep by sea0tter12
04/02/2007Harry has to go back in time to retrieve a Horcrux from Grimmauld Place. But can he really keep from changing future events?

Footprints by kikei
06/19/2005The tight circle of trees surround you, moving in. They point their crooked branches at you as if they blame you for the frost that has covered this whole godforsaken place. You killed us, they whisper with their leafless branches, you killed us, like you killed him.

Until the Bleeding Stops by The Pottermaven
04/24/2005Rachel woke when it was still dark outside her grimy window. She sat up next to the still-sleeping Ian and looked around, confused. Then everything hit her, physically hit her, so that she fell back onto the bed and bit her pillow to stop keep herself from screaming. This fic also goes as a sort of background story to my fic Harry Potter and the Return to the Riddle House. (If you haven't read RttRH, consider this a sort of trailer, like what makes you want to see the movie.) Very angst-y.
In the aftermath of Voldemort's defeat there comes a time for healing.

09/04/2005Slytherins have feelings and loyalties too, you know. Perhaps different from those of the rest of the world, but they’re still there. Pansy listens, thinks, and remembers and re-examines her loyalties. Rather random thoughts. Set after the end of HBP. Slight DM/PP.
Uniform by thunderstorm_girl
01/28/2005Judged. Labeled. Levelled. Uniforms turn normal kids into members of their House, while keeping their individual traits out of the way. Hogwarts stole my identity. It's time for me to act against the system.
Dark Side of the Moon by Lioness06
02/23/2008“Friendship; treasure the tears, treasure the laughter, but most importantly, treasure the memories.” While dark forces are gaining strength on the outside world, inside Hogwarts the students are dealing with their own struggles; pining after girls, studying for O.W.L.’s, rebellion, marauding, and mischief.
