Elara Avery was entering her seventh year of Hogwarts with a broken engagement to a dangerous man, the threat of expulsion held over her head by her extortionist Headmaster, and the expectation that she either be engaged or prepared to join the "family business" by Christmas. All of this because of one fateful night where that idiotic fourth year helped the Dark Lord rise again and inadvertently ruined all of Elara's most well laid plans. With the help of friends new and old, a turncoat potions professor, and a certain devious redhead she might just be able to graduate keeping everyone satisfied...
Or she might just die trying.
As Miranda slowly recovers from her Romanian adventure, Severus struggles to conceal the depth of his feelings for her. A spy can’t afford to fall in love at all, let alone with a woman as bewitching as she is capricious.
But hidden feelings may be the least of their problems. Miranda is partnered with Remus Lupin on his mission to win over the werewolf packs of Great Britain. And Severus is ordered to preform a secret task so terrible, Miranda’s love—and his very soul—may be the cost.

It's Harry, Ron, and Hermione's 5th year at Hogwarts. Dumbledore decided that it was time for some unity among the students in different houses. Each student is paired with someone else and required to finish their assignment together.
What happens when Hermione is paired up with Draco?
I do not own Harry Potter or the universe/characters J.K Rowling has created.

"I have something to ask you," Iain says one afternoon. He reaches over Sirius to turn down the radio - which Sirius pouts at him for, as he'd been listening to that song, thank you very much. Iain just rolls his eyes fondly and plants a kiss on his forehead, which does, predictably, make him stop pouting. His heart wasn't in it anyway.
"What's up?" he replies, sounding impressively relaxed for someone who's catastrophizing as hard as he is.
"Would you laugh at me if I asked you on a date?"
... Okay, that wasn't one of the questions he'd been anticipating.
The fifth and final instalment of a body from the balcony, aka Iain-verse.

Alex Watson was kind, independent and thrustworthy Gryffindor, she was in the same year as the Marauders. But she was not like other girls, she perfectly knew how handsome was Sirius Black, but she chose to resist his charms and help other girls when their hearts were broken by infamous heartbreaker Sirius Black.
Little did she knew that Sirius suddenly was interested in her, just because he had heard some wild rumours about her from other boys, for example, how mysterious she is, how she treats them and how wild she is in bed. Alex's charisma made her special in Sirius's eyes.
Is love possible between a heartbreaker and a girl who tries to live peaceful life and not get hurt?
Cho Chang and George Fawley take over from their predecessors, Audrey Clearwater and Evan Fawley. Chaos ensues.
As Albus Dumbledore made final preparations for his next great adventure, there were certains things that could not remain unsaid.
An attempt to write Peeves' personal journey from mischief maker to someone who is, well, not quite as bad as he once was. From picking on first years, to Lily, to some unsavory characters.

In the haze of summer and the fever of dreams, Albus Dumbledore learns his Number One lesson: love doesn't always conquer everything.
Minutes from the Hogwarts staff meeting on Friday 3rd March 1978, recorded (with much frustration) by Prof. Lysander Beauregard.
What he had pictured in his head when he'd first thought of teaching were long, sweeping orations, students hanging on his every word, young minds being taken in and inspired by his message. What he did not fully consider, however, was that he would actually have to teach. (In which Tom Riddle begins teaching at Hogwarts and realizes just what a horribly stupid idea it was.)
Minerva speaking to Dumbledore's portrait for the first time.
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.
