The year is 1997, and an order has gone out from the Ministry of Magic that all students between the ages of eleven and seventeen who were formerly taught at home must now present themselves for attendance at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Howard Sutton, the seventeen-year-old son of sheep crofters on the Isle of Skye, who formerly received his magical education at home, arrives at Hogwarts at the beginning of what will be the calamitous school year of 1997-1998. The Sorting Hat says, "It's not a matter of which House you need, but of which House needs you." What can a crofter do for Hogwarts?

Cho Chang and George Fawley take over from their predecessors, Audrey Clearwater and Evan Fawley. Chaos ensues.
Minutes from the Hogwarts staff meeting on Friday 3rd March 1978, recorded (with much frustration) by Prof. Lysander Beauregard.
This is the first book of a trilogy, chronicling an AU version of Harry's 6th and 7th years at Hogwarts and a few years beyond.
The second book in this three-book collection. "Harry Potter and the Philtre of Promise", was the first written, originally published as chapters at www.phoenixsong.net, where it is still available in its original form, culminating with a release of the epilog on July 15th, 2005, the day before Ms. Rowling's sixth book, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was released. I was pleasantly surprised that I had unwittingly anticipated and duplicated several plot points.
This book, the first book in this series, "Harry Potter and the Rampage of Ages", was then started, to explain several points revealed but not explained in "Philtre of Promise", as well as to introduce plot points critical to the whole trilogy -- and to explain a few items that are not true to canon. The first sixteen chapters were published in fairly rapid order, but a series of debilitating strokes has delayed my continuation of the story until this time -- I am editing these chapters to correct a few mistakes, explain better some events, and to make the whole cohesive.
The third book, "Harry Potter and the Legacy of Evil", had been plotted out for writing when the strokes occurred, but most of those notes, along with the notes for the final chapters of the first book, were lost when a power surge fried the hard drive they were stored on. It has taken me far too many years to reconstruct those notes to complete this trilogy, working at recreating the salient plot points that were needed as I slowly recovered from the stroke. It is my fervent wish that my efforts will prove to be worthwhile, and that you, the readers, will enjoy this foray into my version of the world so beautifully created by J K Rowling.
Please note -- this collection is fan fiction, with everything but the plot and a few characters based on J K Rowling's work, and never was, is not, and never will be intended to infringe on any copyrights, trademarks, or other legal declarations of ownership held by anyone anywhere. These stories were written for the amusement of myself and other fans of the Harry Potter series as FAN FICTION, and I thank Ms. Rowling for allowing fans of the series such as myself to play in her created universe.

The students of Hogwarts have a new tradition: an annual territory war between the four Houses. And owning a rather dismal number of territories, it seems Hufflepuff will spend yet another year in last place.
Not if Celia Pruitt can do anything about it.

The battle was over. The victors woke into a new dawn, a new era had been born. They were free to live, free to find happiness, free to love. But a cloud drew across their world almost unnoticed, a darkness gathered strength. A new plot conceived. Vengeance approached. Harry must face a new battle, a war for his very being. A story of the 14 months after the battle of Hogwarts.
In his seventh year, Neville isn’t worried about grades or making friends. That Hogwarts is gone. The only important thing now is survival.
One way or another, he’s going to find out what it takes to lead an army.

Rebuilding the castle feels like an impossible task, but they're teachers ??” what's one more impossible task?
This story reprises an actual event that occurred early in the morning of 15 January 1968. I have taken the liberty of moving the date to 25 December 1967 to coincide with Arthur Weasley's last Christmas at Hogwarts, a date that he will never forget.
The Hogwarts teachers are facing the first school year after the Battle of Hogwarts. How can they help the students and the whole community heal? What will it take to feel as if the world is back to normal?
Harry and Ginny quickly reunite at the end of the war. However, due to the pain and grief of their losses, their family fail to recognise the love shared and growing between them. Based on SBMcNeil's "Happy Birthday, Ginny!"
When Albus Potter and Rose Weasley begin their first year at Hogwarts, they're targeted by what seem like malicious practical jokes involving the name of the Dark Lord. Even after nineteen years, who would joke about a man who caused so many deaths? The magical world must once again face the issues which still exist and may again prove divisive.
