There is a scorch mark on the House of Black Tapestry where Cedrella's face used to be. One might think a powerful passion had motivated Cedrella to leave her family and all she knew behind. That would be a gross inaccuracy. Cedrella and Septimus Weasley did not marry for love, and nor do they expect to find it in each other. Whyever did they marry, then? Strategy. Before the ink has dried, the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black, the increasingly powerful Tuft family, and the Pureblood society led by one Cantakerus Nott demand blood for Cedrella's betrayal. Cedrella loathes the Ministerial Bylaws that place other Wizarding girls in similar danger to that from which she escaped. But old parchment is not easily changed. Meanwhile, evil forces rise under Grindelwald's banner, and Septimus's duties for the Ministry grow ever more dangerous. If they're to survive, they must turn their marriage of strategic convenience into a more effective arrangement. A friendship. A partnership in stealth and strategy. The risks are steep; the gambit bold. The Lumos Universe story of Cedrella and Septimus. *Rated T *Slow Burn *Enemies to Friends to Lovers *1930's & 1940's Wizarding Britain *Wizard Spies. There are wizard spies in this one. *Novel-Length *This story does include allusions to more mature themes that may be difficult for some readers. Content warnings included in relevant chapters. <3 Please be kind to yourself.

Molly Prewett and Arthur Weasley did not fall in love easily. This is the story of how it happened. The story of how and why Gideon and Fabian Prewett lived and died. The story of the Burrow, and the Weasley clock, and the happiest moments in our heroes' lives--as well as the worst ones. This is the story of how a kind, clumsy, quiet boy with a fascination in muggle bits and bobs, clocks, trains, and tinkering found himself pulled into a battle for heart, soul, and family. Spanning from 1961 to 1981, Mollywobbles follows Arthur, Molly, Gideon, and Fabian's lives from childhood into the formation of the Weasley family as we know it. It is, principally, a story about time. About music. About parenthood. About love. *A Novel-Length Prequel to Harry Potter *Rated T * ~150k words *"Painfully Hopeful" tone. *[We all know where this is going, but it doesn't leave you on a dark note.] *Arthur POV, Molly POV, Gideon POV, and Fabian POV *A Lumos Prequel/Set in the same universe as LUMOS, but reading Lumos is not necessary for an understanding of this story.

What really happened at the Battle of Hogwarts? When she was a very little girl, Angelina Johnson's mother taught her to throw. To feel the connection between her hand and the Quaffle, to reel back without losing balance. To train her eye on the spot she wanted it to go. After that, it was a matter of extension, putting all of her power and magic into the release, and watching it arch through the hoop. Her mother was the best chaser on the Holyhead Harpies, and Angelina would follow in her footsteps. Angelina Johnson was very good at throwing-the best, maybe. A Lumos!Universe look at Fred Weasley and Angelina Johnson's relationship.

Hermione doesn't remember marrying or falling in love with her husband. In fact, when the healer asks her if she'd like to see her husband, she thought Ron would walk through the door. Instead, it was George. A stray Obliviate from a dissenting blood purist hits Hermione as she's debating on the Wizengamot floor for Elf rights. As a result, she loses the last 5 years of her life. Her most recent memory is Fred coming back to life in the Battle of Hogwarts. Years prior, George Weasley struggles to come to terms with the way he feels about Hermione Jean-the brightest witch of her age. This story follows two, parallel timelines. In the first, Hermione struggles to find her place in a world built by a different version of herself. In the other, George traverses before, during, and after the Wizarding War, finding himself more and more drawn to the most dedicated witch he knows. Too bad she's in love with his brother. Rated T. Not a fast burn. *This is a fanwork, made and distributed for fun, without profit. I do not own the rights to these characters or story world*

Oh Atlas, Oh Atlas; tis not the world's fate that you carry. That is not the heaviness you hold. ------ Under the surface, some people have scars. Others have claws. Step lightly, but venture forth. In 1995 wizarding London, Fleur Delacour sets her sights on her moody, grumpy coworker. Unfortunately, William Arthur Weasley is not interested in new friends, flirtatious conversation, or adding another person to worry about onto his packed-full list of people he cannot bear to lose. A two part story about Fleur and Bill, the reach of childhood trauma, and the practice of finding more than expected. Rated T (Technically HP canon-compliant; though set in 1995 in the Lumos Universe).
