"Wha-How-how did you do that?" Malfoy questioned furiously. I gave him a cocky smirk. "Just a few simple jinxes. Guess I'm not that much of a Mudblood after all, hm?" His brow furrowed. "No-you're still a Mudblood. Do you not know what Mudblood means?" Her Muggle brothers never thought anything odd of Lainey Fitzroy until finding out that she's a witch at age eleven. Determined to learn and succeed, Lainey goes to Hogwarts, where she meets an array of life changing people, like the famous Harry Potter, the notorious Draco Malfoy, and the ever-faithful Ginny Weasley. Lainey has a few secrets, though, some she doesn't even know about, along with a plethora of decisions to make as her years pass at Hogwarts. Cover made by my lovely sister.

"From a very young age he realized it was good to have someone to vouch for you, to believe you were good - especially if you enjoyed doing bad things." Tom Riddle couldn't love. There was no changing that, but was it possible for someone to love a boy as twisted as Tom? Gwyn Phi loved Tom Riddle all her life, from infants in one crib to the day he left for Hogwarts and never truly came back. From Wools Orphanage to the Battle of Hogwarts, Gwyn and Tom's relationship set an unimaginable story in motion, touching lives across decades. One Muggle girl can't change Tom Riddle - but he sure did change her. A NOTE: This book was started before "The Cursed Child", and will continue as I had planned it before the play came out. I have read the story, and if you have, please refrain from posting ANYTHING that may spoil it for others. Thank you in advance, and please enjoy!

In 1865, a young girl by the name of Alice Liddell went missing from outside of her home in Oxford, England. Left in the care of her older sister, Margaret, no one could understand how the seven-year-old had disappeared so suddenly. Yet, after multiple search parties were gathered, she was never found, leaving her family to grieve and wonder whatever happened to the youngest member of the family. No one would ever suspect the girl had fallen down a rabbit hole and no one would ever believe the adventures the girl would encounter in a world called Wonderland. From talking flowers to a mischievous grinning cat, Alice had experienced encounters that only children with the wildest imaginations could dream of. Over a century after her disappearance, the impossible happens. Alice reappears, however, she is only a few years older than when she disappeared. Crawling out of a rabbit hole in the Forbidden Forest, the wizarding world is stunned to uncover the girl who is completely unharmed, but more importantly, she is alive. However, with no surviving family, Alice is left in the care of a witch who helps her readjust before she begins her time at Hogwarts. For Alice, readjusting to her former world is far from easy but she's always been up for an adventure. Especially since she has her trusted White Rabbit to keep her company, not to mention a group of friends willing to help her along the way. She also comes across a boy who is so by the books and so set on following the rules, it's clear he needs a little nonsense in his life and Alice knows all about nonsense.

There were some things in life that even magic couldn't heal and for Zakari Ollivander, being deaf was not something that he wanted to be "healed" of anyways. Never considering himself disabled, Zakari considered himself just to be slightly different growing up. He still enjoyed partaking in activities that other children his age were involved in, even if he had to find his own way to do them. It was a challenge sometimes, but Zakari was always up for a challenge. As the grandson of a famous wandmaker, Zakari's biggest challenge yet would come to the young boy when he receives his acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Without knowing him, people were quick to pass their judgement, believing the boy would struggle and calling it a waste of time trying to teach magic to a boy who couldn't hear and hardly spoke. However, Zakari sets himself out to prove that just because he was hard of hearing, didn't mean he didn't have anything to say. It was everyone else around him that needed to learn how to listen.

[Previously titled "Cawing of the Crow"] To cross paths with a crow symbolized the beginning of change. On the night that young, Roderick Lestrange was born, a murder of crows appeared outside his home. It was the beginning of the change that would slowly emerge as the child grew older and became a young man. Crows were said to unite the light and dark of the world, and Roderick had no idea he would accomplish such a thing during his lifetime. Raised to follow in the footsteps of his older brothers, Death Eaters Rodolphus and Rabastan, the young man only begins to find himself feeling more and more conflicted with his expected duties as "The Crow" as he ages. He must learn whether to continue in the steps of his family or fly down his own path.

Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs certainly feel quite accomplished after completing what they dub as the Marauder's Map. A map designed to show every classroom, hall, corridor, and even secret passageway of the Hogwarts Castle but also capable of identifying every person, ghost, and poltergeist roaming about. Or so they thought. It takes Elspeth Hayes casually strolling down the corridor one afternoon for the boys to realise that she's not showing up on the map and they want to figure out why. But Elspeth is not about to give away her secrets so easily, after all, a girl has to have her secrets to keep the boys on their toes.

Over the last three years, Milo Fleamont Potter has been on a never-ending adventure since getting back in contact with his little brother and it's nearly cost him his life twice. However, to the teenage boy, every second has been completely worth it. The excitement only continues after the Gods and Goddesses have given the permission with their families to come together as darkness approach them and among the alliance, Milo Potter and Silas Black are proving to become masters of their granted abilities. But they are not alone as another God decides to take on a new family, which throws them completely off guard. Although the drama doesn't even begin to stop there as Hogwarts plays host to the Triwizard Tournament bringing the schools of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang to Scotland. With visitors, a new and bizarre Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and Milo's suspicions about Dumbledore at an all-time high, Milo thought the drama was more than enough, apparently, it was just getting started. Dragons, Mermaids, and Gods, oh my. [Cover by -voidlegends]

[Book 5] The Triwizard Tournament was expected to be dangerous but no one actually expected someone to die. However, in the eyes of many, no one died because Milo Potter and his little brother, Harry Potter returned seemingly unharmed. However, what most aren't aware of, is while it looks like Harry and sounds like Harry, the boy walking around claiming to be him, is actually James Potter. Back from the dead and inside of his son's body, James is back in the Wizarding World, reunited with his son, Milo, and his best friends while Harry remains in the Elysian Fields. Voldemort is back but no one seems to believe Milo, "Harry," or Elspeth as they were witnesses to it all. With no solid proof as Voldemort goes into hiding and the group must keep the Gods and Goddesses a secret, they have no choice but to face the cover-up that the Ministry is attempting to implement. Unfortunately, it comes down to all of them facing the treachery that is the woman by the name of Dolores Jane Umbridge. While Harry enjoys the life of what could have been, Milo has to team up with his father as Hogwarts falls under the reign of a tyrant. All the while, James Potter has to remember that not only is he not James, he's also fifteen again as he joins the Order of the Phoenix for the second time. [Cover by -voidlegends]
