    Summary

    Another look at Occlumency lessons. Perhaps if Severus Snape had been a little quicker to admit his own sins.

    Summary

    You and Severus have an arrangement.

    Twice a month, you come in from Merlin knows where, crates laden with Merlin knows what, and top off Severus’ ingredient stores. Occasionally, you source something particular for him and you don’t ask any questions. The cold, expressionless Potions Master dips into the Potions Department budget and you can pay your rent and bills and feed yourself for a while.

    That’s not the arrangement.

    ------------

    Reader is an unskilled laborer working as the potion ingredient supplier for the Hogwarts Potions Master, who she's also fucking; partly to sweeten the deal so he keeps buying from her, but mostly because she really, really, likes it.

    Summary

    Draco is kidnapped by his own side to be punished for hesitating when Harry, Ron, and Hermione were captured at Malfoy Manor during their quest to find and destroy the Horcruxes.

    Haunted by that moment, Harry can’t stop thinking about what it meant — that Draco hesitated, that he tried to help. Driven by something fierce and unshakable, Harry decides to find him… to save him, no matter the cost.

    Summary

    Going back in time was meant to be relatively easy. A sacrifice, but by all means not a big one. Instead, Harry finds himself crossing paths with a Narcissa Black who is so far from what he’d expected that he wonders if he arrived at a different universe rather than a different time.

    The answer, of course, is that one should never doubt Hermione’s spellcasting abilities. Which just might mean that his life is in for some surreal changes.

    Also, Harry might possibly never recover from having Voldemort flirt with him.

    Summary

    “Just… tell me. Tell me what is going on, Snape.”
    What was going on was that Severus Snape had no trouble tracking down one Petunia Evans, now Dursley, to a little town in Surrey where he saw how exactly she was treating her nephew. Which somehow led to last night and Severus knocking on Lupin’s door with a toddler half-asleep in his arms.

    Summary

    Harry has worked for years as an Unspeakable to identify the best point where he might go back in time to change the impact of Voldemort’s war. Now he knows: he will have to return to his parents’ Hogwarts years and encourage the Slytherins to stand on their own instead of following a leader. He knows how to assume the post of Defense professor and how to reach the Slytherins. And from there, well, surely nothing can go too wrong.

    Summary

    “The scar is small, at least,” Pomfrey says, pulling the bandage snug around the cleaned wound. There’s a pity in her voice that makes Severus want to throw up again. “It will be easily covered.”

    Dumbledore catches him inspecting it, as if mesmerized. “You are lucky to have survived at all,” the Headmaster says.

    Severus does not say I don’t feel very lucky because it is stupid and obvious. Instead, he says unsteadily, “I want to press charges, sir.”

    Pomfrey stills, tightening the bandage to the point of discomfort.

    “Remus Lupin would be executed,” Dumbledore says. “The Ministry takes a dim view of werewolves who infect other wizards.”

    Summary

    It was a warm and sunny day in London, with no clouds in sight. On this sunny day, a little girl stood on Charing Cross Road staring at a seemingly broken-down old shop. In reality, this young seven-year-old girl was staring at the Leaky Cauldron.
    That little girl was me. Belladonna Burton, seven years of age, and now a confirmed witch.
    I sighed as I stared at the Leaky Cauldron sign. “What a fucking mess.”
    A lady gasped at me in horror before hurrying along and disappearing into the crowd, and I couldn’t fault her. I would probably also be unpleasantly surprised at hearing a 7-year-old girl utter those words.
    The problem was that, according to my memories, I knew what was to come in the future. At first, I thought I had been reborn, like in one of those books, but that was hard to prove as I couldn’t really remember a previous life. What I did know was what would happen in the future, both in the Muggle world and the Wizarding. I just didn’t have any memories of myself in either world.

    This story explores Bella Burton, an OC, as she navigates being a muggleborn in the wizarding world while making the most out of her knowledge of the future for purely selfish purposes.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?
