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.

(Editing incomplete) Jurassic Park went down in history as a disastrous failure, an idea with good intentions that went horribly awry. For Dr Alan Grant and Dr Ellie Sattler, the two were happy to return to a life strictly dealing with bones. Despite the terrible things they had come to witness, their love for the creatures that had once roamed the Earth had yet to dwindle and carried on into their legacy. Raised among two of the most world-renowned dinosaur experts, their daughter, Keira Grant is next in line to carry on the work of her parents. With a palaeontologist for a father and a paleobotanist as a mother, Keira's life is strictly dino-related from the time of her birth and it comes as no surprise when she decides to follow in the steps of her parents. However, Alan and Ellie never anticipated that their daughter would be roped into the same trap that they had fallen into all those years before. With the opening of Jurassic World theme park, Keira is lured to the appeal of working with the creatures she has learned so much about over the years, along with the promise from the park itself that things will be different this time around. With new safety precautions put into place, along with advanced technology, Jurassic World is deemed safe and the park is opened with Keira working among the herbivores on site. But things certainly begin to change when Keira meets up once more with ever-flirtatious and aloof, Owen Grady the Raptor Trainer as he steps into her territory. And unfortunately, the carnivores aren't far behind, especially one, in particular, that shows no mercy to anything with a pulse. Cover Credit: @tantarts

[Sequel to Morality] It's been one month since the tragic end of the Triwizard Tournament and the Ministry of Magic finally presumes that Saros Cygnus Malfoy is dead. His memorial service is held at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but still, there are so many questions left unanswered. The wizarding community is demanding answers, while the Ministry wants to hear nothing else of this Voldemort nonsense. They have enough on their hands with the uproar as Harry Potter returns with Peter Pettigrew in custody and have to announce that Sirius Black was wrongfully accused. Angelina Johnson can't believe it and won't believe that her boyfriend is dead, especially with no body present. Harry swears he witnessed the Killing Curse and could only assume that Saros' body was destroyed leaving behind the goblin silver prosthetic. And while the wizarding world is in a complete frenzy, Saros Malfoy finds himself in the muggle world, under what he believes to be his name "Harry Potter." After suffering the Cruciatus Curse on multiple accounts, Saros truly believes that his name is Harry Potter, but with no one reporting a boy missing by that name, there leaves plenty to be suspicious of. He can't recall past events, not even the names of family members or friends. Doctors believe that "Harry" is suffering from retrograde amnesia, placing him under the care of a woman named Jo until he starts to remember or if he ever remembers. But one day while "Harry" is out with his new family in London, he runs in a beautiful girl, who starts to cry when she sees him and can't stop calling him "Saros." And before he realises it, he's back in the wizarding world, but things don't get easier from that point on. Cover by demonlust
