ENTIRE 7 BOOK SERIES COMPLETED! Astra Lewis is not normal. In fact, some would go as far as to say she's a freak. Strange things happen around her, things that no one can explain. But maybe she's not a freak. Maybe she's just different. When a woman with flaming red hair arrives with a message from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Astra discovers that there's a whole world of people like her. She makes real friends, and finally is given the love and attention she never received at home. But Hogwarts is in danger. Someone is targeting the students, and no one knows who the attacker is, or what he wants. Will Astra and her friends, Albus Potter and Wren Predatel, be able to stop him? Or will the attacker find what he's looking for, no matter how many children he has to take down to get it? ~Quick Disclaimer: This story was written in 2015, and will not follow Cursed Child in any way because of that~ Started: 6/18/15 Ended: 8/25/15

This is a sequel! To avoid spoilers to Star of Gryffindor, please read that before reading this! Astra Lewis and Albus and James Potter are back at Hogwarts, this time for a (hopefully) much less dangerous year. But after Wren Predatels's shocking betrayal, Astra is having a hard time. Albus and James seemed to have moved on all right, but for Astra, it's different. It's a very hard thing to find out your first and closest friend was never really there for you. Not to mention all the changes going on. With a new Ministry-appointed headmaster, things are being run a bit differently. There's a clingy, annoying first year who instantly latches onto Astra, but gets sorted into the wrong House. And, Astra's nightmares are getting worse, driving her roommates insane. Not to mention the strange new girl, a transfer from Beauxbatons, who not only seems mysterious, but is apparently interested in the Dark Arts. All of this pales in comparison to the attempts to kidnap James. Astra and her friends are wary of everything now, but somehow, someone is slipping past their defenses...

Book 4 in the Star of Gryffindor Series! After Wren Predatel was found alone in Hogsmeade after a large-scale attempted break in at Hogwarts, no one knew exactly what to do with her. A trial is whipped up to decide her fate, but the two key witnesses aren't even allowed to attend. Astra Lestrange is given a firm "No" to all her begging to go. Her aunt thinks it's the last thing she needs, and the Potters give the same verdict regarding James. After all, they've been through enough already; the last thing they need is to watch an old (traitorous?) friend get sentenced to Azkaban. There may be bigger things to worry about this year than Wren, though. It is Hogwarts' turn to host an old tradition, and everyone is excited. The only problem? Last time this happened at Hogwarts, someone died. And there's no guarantee it won't happen again. Join Astra in her most thrilling year yet, with new friends and enemies arising, and adventures more dangerous than any she's faced yet. Started: 6/8/16 Ended: 1/28/17

The Daily Prophet Issue No. 101,770 3 July 2021 Lestrange: Model or Menace? After recent events at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it should not surprise readers to find Miss Astra Lestrange making the news once more. Where newsworthy trouble at Hogwarts brews, the little "heroine" never seems to be far. This alone has caused many at this paper to scratch their heads, but now there's call for more than that. As hype over the attack had died down, Lestrange has come up with more and more outlandish tales of what she claims happened to her that night, including madmen that no one has heard of and a much more subversive agenda behind the known terrorists', the Predatels, cause than evidence points to (an agenda that features her as a prominent part, it should be noted). We at the Prophet have found this a disturbing development, leaving many to wonder if there's more to Astra Lestrange than her do-gooder facade... ~~~~ Made out to be a liar and danger by the media, Astra Lestrange's credibility has dropped to exactly zero in the eyes of the public. She's left helpless, fighting a seemingly impossible battle against the Ministry of Magic. Harry Potter is on her side, of course, but that has left him on shaky ground with the Ministry. He's had to resort to outside means to stop Caymus Stillens, but even that seems to be a losing battle. Even without her fall from grace, Astra would have had a tough year in store. On top of her OWLs, a new rival in Eris Prince, and a controversial new member on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, Astra escaped from Stillens last year. And no one escapes from Caymus Stillens with their life. At least, not for long. As the year progresses and her fight with the Ministry is overshadowed by a fight for her life, Astra begins to suspect that all is not well inside Hogwarts. Could it be that she's been betrayed again? Started: 2/25/17 Ended: 4/21/18

Everything started 14th July. As a new year begins for Astra and her friends, they're all worried about the future. After a rough year, with shaky trust and suspicions running wild, they're not sure they can handle whatever might be next. N.E.W.T. level classes and schoolyard bullies pale in comparison to a tyrannical government and a growing network of terrorists that no one seems large enough to stop. On top of that, Wren's parents haven't contacted her once about anything, Zaria Hempsey-related or no. Bigger problems soon arise, though. When nightmares become realities, for more than one member of the group, they're each left with little to stand on. The threat of betrayal by others is constant, but when your own mind can betray you, what's left? Started: 5/26/2018 Ended: 8/29/2020

After facing disastrous consequences from her decision to rescue the children from Stillens' manor with only her friends, Astra Lestrange decides she's done letting people die for her. She and James Potter disappear, hoping to find Wren Predatel and keep the rest of their friends safe. They soon come to realize that avoiding danger, to themselves or others, may be harder than they thought. As Astra and James traverse the countryside, Wren is dealing with her own personal hell. Her uncle does not like being crossed, and she knows it's only a matter of time until she breaks. She's determined to not let that happen. Meanwhile, Albus Potter and Colette St. Pierre are left to pick up the pieces at a Hogwarts missing far too many of their friends, and harboring far too many of their enemies. With new dangers and complications arising left and right, the hope of defeating Stillens seems to grow more dim with each passing day. Will the help of unexpected friends be enough to unite a scattered resistance and defeat the greatest evil the wizarding world has seen in decades? Started: 9/30/2020 Ended: 6/18/2024

"'It all started on a cold Saturday morning, not too long after everyone had returned from winter holiday...'" Not all adventures at Hogwarts are as well-known as Harry Potter's was. Some tales will only be known by those who, whether fortunate or unfortunate, found themselves tangled in magic history in the making. Other stories are only carried in the hearts of those who graduate from those hallowed halls of learning, cherished and never forgotten. This is one of those stories... Before Albus Potter received his Hogwarts letter, Alexis Powers and Elinor Scott roamed the school grounds, dealing with schoolwork, hanging out with friends, and trying to figure out what career to pursue after graduation. But what might be normal at a muggle school breeds mystery at Hogwarts. It's not long until riddles, curses, and keys are thrown into the mix, and suddenly, Alex and Elinor have more on their minds than the next prefect patrol. Not to mention a strange journal and prophecy that might be more relevant than they think. Will Professor Potter come to their rescue? Is there something foreboding ahead for the Wizarding World? Is there ever just peace and quiet at Hogwarts? Alexis and Elinor just might find out, with the help of their friends and some familiar faces. *Note: This short story is a fanfiction of a fanfiction, so it is based on the second generation Wizarding World established by @Smile_its_Elli in "The Star of Gryffindor" series, not necessarily HP canon.
