Summary: “A wizard, o’ course, an’ a thumpin’ good’un, I’d say, once yeh’ve been trained up a bit. With a mum an’ dad like yours, what else would yeh be?”

It was always known by many that Harry James Potter, the son of James and Lily Potter, would do great things, that he would be a great wizard. But what if they had been wrong? What if The Boy Who Lived had been just that – a boy who happened to live? What if nothing was unique about him aside from the fact that he had survived the Killing Curse? What if Harry Potter had been a Squib?

Harry Potter is an ordinary teenage boy living with his irksome relatives, the Dursleys. On the night of his seventeenth birthday, Harry is unexpectedly whisked away from his home and thrust into a world that he has never known and doesn’t believe he belongs in. But seventeen years ago a prophecy was made concerning him and another man, a man who is terrorizing the whole world. Harry doesn’t think this prophecy means anything . . . because how can a Squib defeat the most powerful wizard of the time?

Summary: Perhaps Dolores Umbridge didn't just take Moody's eye and stick it on her door because she wanted to spy on her employees. Perhaps Dolores Umbridge wasn't just wearing Salazar's locket because she relished the feeling of power the Horcrux instilled in her. Perhaps there is more to this woman's story than what it might first appear to be.

This is a story of differences, similarities, and love -- a story that goes beyond what the eye can see.

Summary: Albus and Aberforth Dumbledore are both searching for something they believe with benefit their present situations. But sometimes we don't always know what we're looking for until it's too late.

Summary: Sirius Black explores his five senses. Sirius/Lily. Oneshot.

Written for Slytherin House, for the Salazar's Secret Swap. This is for mrsmcclnt. Hope you enjoy this, Marsha.

Summary: She knows that it’s silly, the way that she feels about him. She knows that he’ll never feel the same way about her. She knows that she’s married, and shouldn’t feel this way about him in the first place. She knows that nothing will ever come from her feeling this way.

But she also knows that she is already completely in love with him, and that there is nothing to be done about it at this point. It just is.

Summary: Ever since the war ended, Theodore Nott has found little solace in anything, save for his Firewhiskey purchases. Due to happenings and circumstances, he runs into the most unlikely people and places, ones that may just be able to help him as he trundles along through life.

This is a story of pain, loss, regret, bitterness. This is a story of joy, laughter, forgiveness, hope. It's a story of second glances, second considerations, second chances. And first chances too. Curriculum Vitae is Latin for: The course of one’s life.

Summary: Lucius does not understand what there is to like about snow: it’s cold, it’s wet, and it sticks to everything. Perhaps his mind will be changed once this afternoon is finished . . .

Summary: What was supposed to be a calm dinner date ends up being much more emotional and rocky for both Lucius Malfoy and Andromeda Black.
