"I thought the Hogwarts letter would bring answers. Instead, it brought questions and memories that didn't feel like mine." - Elira Rowantree was raised in an orphanage with no real past, she never expected her name to mean anything. But when the letter arrives everything begins to change. Hogwarts becomes a beginning. A place of magic, mystery, and unexpected friendships. Especially with two mischievous twins who seem to see straight through her. Over the years, trust grows. So does something else. Something unspoken, tangled between laughter, stolen glances, and what's left unsaid. But the deeper she falls into this world, the more she realizes: Some secrets don't stay hidden forever and some truths find you whether you're ready or not.

Delaney McKinnon, the daughter of the late Marlene McKinnon was raised by wolves. Well, really a rather gentle werewolf who also happened to be her godfather. However, that aspect of her life seems to be the tamest. Being friends with Harry Potter means being pulled into the middle of all the madness that seems attracted to the boy who lived. But being friends with Harry does not mean Delaney finds herself overshadowed. Though it was never in her plans, Delaney finds herself the center of one of the Weasley twin's attention. After one too many pranks together who could blame him? The pair find themselves wondering if the prospect of returned heated affection outweighs the ghastly aftershocks that would hit all those they hold most dear if those affections went south. Does love truly outweigh the promise of comfort? Is there a such thing as a perfect match? And most importantly can Delaney keep herself immune to the Weasley Charm? *Please be advised this story does contain adult content This story begins after Sirius Black's escape and will continue through the war.

"You're a goddamn catalyst, you know that?" He said slowly, the wind picking up and blowing his hair into his eyes. "Every single emotion I feel, they become whole damn explosions because of you." I sat there frozen, my breath caught in my throat. I make him feel explosions. I think of quicksilver eyes and pinkies brushing against one another and shared earbuds. You make me feel how I imagine touching the stars would be. Say it. Say it. Say it. Nothing comes out. Draco's expression shuttered closed, his spine going rigid. He stood up quickly, towering over me, and he held his broken arm out. "I know we bleed the same, Granger.

Hermione lay bleeding on the grass, holding a hand to the bloody stump that was once Fred Weasley's arm. Fred gazed back at her, begging for some sort of comfort but Hermione couldn't provide it. She had nothing to say. She had for a fleeting moment let herself relax. Let herself believe that Voldermort was dead, and therefore all was to be right in the world. There was to be weddings, parties and bright sunny Sunday mornings. She wasn't suppose to shed anymore blood. She wasn't suppose to lose anyone else. She'd lost enough people. She had killed enough. She had sacrificed enough. Hermione was tired, so beyond tired. Tired of losing. So she let her eyes flutter closed, and Fred watched as Hermione let herself once again, slip into a false sense of security. TW: dark themes, blood, death, fighting, hospitals, survival

BLOODY, SLUTTY, AND PATHETIC by WhatMurdah "In my humble opinion there's only three things that men should be and that is bloody, slutty, and pathetic." And, on a good day, Draco Malfoy can be all three. When war heroine Hermione Granger and Azkaban-tattooed war criminal Draco Malfoy are forced to wed as part of Shacklebolt's controversial Reconciliation Act, they openly fight the match and each other-their public brawls breathlessly reported by the press. Secretly, a deeply traumatized Draco delights in Hermione's attention and pines for a real marriage with her-even as her forced proximity to the Black family magic irritates the cursed scar Bellatrix left on her arm, reminding her why she can never truly trust or forgive him. Then Hermione discovers that Draco's blood will soothe the scar . . . and Draco is willing to trade his blood for her body. (With post-war blood purity politics, black market potioneers, Pansy Parkinson's career advice, the Malfoys blackmailing Hermione's Wizengamot opposition, BDE Neville Longbottom hunting Death Eaters, a slutty Theo Nott serving as Draco's right-hand man, and Crookshanks loose in Malfoy Manor.)

[BOOK TWO] Acacia Ivory. What do you think of when you hear that name? For many wizards, they think of a very famous, very powerful witch, who attends Hogwarts. For one dark wizard in particular, it strikes fear into his very core. Why? Because, she is the very witch that can bring upon his destruction. Not only does she come from a line of pure blooded witches and wizards, but they were also pure hearted. The only Dark Lords hope is to manipulate her into thinking she's doing the right thing. Acacia has been told her jealousy and loyalty are her most dangerous qualities. Is she fighting a losing battle? - Outside of Hogwarts, all this young witch does is roam the streets of London with her faithful companion, Simba. Acacia (Ash) has only had a glimpse of her past. She does not know who her parents are, why her existence was supposed to be a secret, or what her reason for being is. All the teachers see what great potential she has in every single magic class, and what little effort it takes! You might think this is a good thing, but for them, it most certainly is not. They fear the prophecy is coming to be true. In the midst of Acacia finding out more about her life and existence, Lord Voldemort has returned. Ash's best friend (Excluding the twins, Ron, and Hermione.) Harry Potter, grows worried. To top it off, Acacia can't seem to shake Draco Malfoy. He has changed a lot over the holidays. She despises him for being so rude and evil to her friends, yet, when they're alone, he's friendly and very unlike himself. With the accusations about Voldemort's return scoffed at, Dumbldore, Harry, and Acacia are targeted by the ministy. All Acacia can do is sit back and watch, as a vile, authoritarian bureaucrat seizes power at Hogwarts.
