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

In an interview, JK Rowling once said that she thought about writing Dudley Dursley into the Epilogue with a magical child. What if she had? This is the story of Dudley's daughter, Esther. Entering her sixth year at Hogwarts, Esther is becoming sick of stereotypes. Sorted into Hufflepuff as a first year, she feels destined to be only loyal and diligent: qualities of a sidekick, not a leader. And it's her last name, Dursley, that causes the uncomfortable disconnect between her and the Potter-Weasleys without them getting to know each other at all. But as she slowly befriends the Slytherin Scorpius Malfoy and captains her house's Quidditch team, Esther has the chance to prove to Hogwarts that not only is there more substance to Hufflepuffs than meets the eye, but that all stereotypes - of houses and last names - can, and should, be crushed.

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

Ginny and Ron Weasley were always the closest of friends. When Fred and George would play a prank, or Percy would tell them off, they always had each other to count on to sympathize or scheme with. When Ron left for Hogwarts, Ginny couldn't wait to go, too. Think of all the fun they could have, two Weasleys together at an amazing places like Hogwarts. With Fred and George's glorious tales of the school fresh on her mind, Ginny bid Ron goodbye and began her eager wait for his return. When Ron comes home for the summer holidays, though, something has changed. Suddenly, he doesn't want to play with his "baby" sister anymore. He's got real friends now, and Ginny gets shunted to the side. It doesn't help that her replacements are the famous Harry Potter and the brilliant Hermione Granger. Suddenly, Hogwarts doesn't seem so fun, and when Ginny ends up in a train compartment all by herself for the entire ride to Hogwarts, a little bitter and very lonely, something happens that could change the course of her life forever.

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

Last time this happened at Hogwarts, someone died. And there's no guarantee it won't happen again.

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...
