Summary: It is after the Battle of Hogwarts and Harry is dealing with his pain; everywhere he looks, he is reminded of those lost in the fight against Voldemort.

Driven by a desire to repay his debt to the Wizarding World, Harry accepts an invitation to complete his last year of instruction at an American school called Underwood. While there, he hopes to learn new techniques to fight the Dark Arts and make the world right again.

However, forces transpire against him. Amidst his studies, Harry becomes aware of a plot that could not only have lasting repercussions on the Wizarding World, but could destroy Harry as well.

Summary: I don’t really know how to start this. I certainly never anticipated all the events and troubles that would come from me being in the wrong place at the wrong time (or maybe it was the right place at the right time?) Those events just seemed to keep galloping down so fast that there was never any time to pause, never any time to breathe.

I suppose since you've heard the news, you think you know what happened, that I turned out just like my no-good-Death-Eater-Dad, which shows that you really don't know the true story at all. So I'll tell you what really happened when Draco Malfoy's son went to Hogwarts and accidentally broke just about every rule in the book, and one or two they never thought necessary to write down.

Summary: We must know a person thoroughly before we can love.

It’s Christmas Eve, and Astoria Greengrass Malfoy waits for her husband’s return from work. She remembers from when she first met him to their wedding.

When Draco finally comes home, he finds a present of a different kind.

Summary: Fred Weasley woke in a strange bedroom in a strange house and didn’t know where he was. All he knew was he needed to get home.

But how do you get home when you have no idea where you are, you have no wand, and you can’t Apparate?

Follow Fred on his quest to get home for Christmas no matter what obstacle he faced, even the biggest obstacle of all…

He was dead.

Summary: James Potter, son of the famous Harry Potter, starts his fifth year at Hogwarts with great enthusiasm as he expects that this will be his best year yet. He is unaware however of the sinister things that lies in store for him and his friends.
But first not only does he need to find out who he's fighting but who he's protecting...

EXTRACT FROM CHAPTER 3:
He was breathing deeply, his chest heaving in an out with such intensity that he could almost cry due to the lack of oxygen. If his pulse hadn't slowed down, the blood no longer rushing to his head, he would not have noticed that someone else was there with him.

Her eyes were dark, but ghostly at the same time and her skin was as pale as he ever remembered. Her gaunt face revealled one of some anguish, her soul clearly still tortured.
"Hello, Caprilla."

Summary: Christmas without Fred could never be the same. Even after ten years, Arthur Weasley felt the loss of his son as much as he had the first Christmas without him.

Could Fred’s namesake and a garden gnome help Arthur to learn to like Christmas again?



I should say there is a touch of mild violence and abuse to a garden gnome in this story. But it is all for a greater good.

Also, the spelling errors in Roxanne's speech are deliberate. She is only three after all.

Summary:

‘I thought he would come… I expected him to come,’ he said, ‘I was, it seems, mistaken.’ Then Harry Potter stepped out of nowhere, and silence fell so completely that the Death Eaters could hear the fire as it crackled, and the breath of the massive giants, and the chink of a small stone that Potter dropped – ”

“Potter dropped a stone?” Roxanne interrupted, frowning.

“Yeah,” Scorpius replied, bemused.

The title sums it all up, really. Roxanne Weasley doesn’t spend EVERY Hallowe’en wandering lost in the Forbidden Forest, duelling masked villains and battling forest trolls. Not without a good reason, anyway.

A next-gen fic written for the Ravenclaw in-house Hallowe’en rarepair challenge.
