In an attempt to improve inter-House relations, Pansy and Hermione plan a game of Truth or Dare for the eighth years. It's not long until rumours begin to fly that something more than just a simple kiss happened between Harry and Draco that night. The only ones who can clear the air surrounding the dare are Harry and Draco themselves...it's just too bad that they are completely clueless as to what everyone is talking about.

❝I'm afraid I'm about as cool as a rubber duck...❞ ❝ So ridiculously cool then?❞ ▬▬▬▬ Quinton Granger was very much like his younger sister, Hermione Jean Granger, well known for his studious nature among peers. However, there was a significant difference between the two, unlike Hermione, Quinton didn't possess magic. He was a muggle. Arthur Weasley has always been fascinated by muggles and their lifestyle, so when he meets Quinton one year as the older brother drops Hermione off at King's Cross, the two strike up a conversation about the function of a rubber duck. The two became fast friends and Quinton becomes a regular at the Burrow whenever his sister is invited over. Ginny is trying to come to terms with her feelings over the Boy-Who-Lived, who doesn't pay her any sort of mind outside of being Ron's little sister. Hermione gives her the advice not to pine over Harry, that she should look at other boys, although when Hermione suggested it, she wasn't exactly suggesting her older brother. It started off as letters between the two while Ginny is at school and becomes something each time the two see each other again.

❝So we've got Messrs Padfoot, Prongs, Moony and Wormtail ... and Madam Despa-three-toe. What the fuck, Exie, WHY?!❞ ❝My Animagus is a three-toed sloth! It's hilarious, put it on the fucking map, Black.❞ ▬▬▬▬ Nobody was quite sure how the Marauders came to be (although Exie Attia would like to take full credit for inviting James and Sirius into the group after an intense game of Gobstones). Whilst the boys had big dreams and would work days and nights to get it, Exie liked to think of herself as the mellow one especially because sometimes she literally couldn't keep her eyes open. Some people loved them, one person REALLY didn't but Exie Attia wouldn't change it for the world. With Fourth Year rolling around, Exie expected life to stay blissfully stagnant but that was just wishful thinking. After the shocking discovery that, despite sounding like the start of a bad joke, combining a narcoleptic with stressful Animagus training might not be the best idea, Exie finds herself excluded for the first time in, well ... ever. But even this might have been okay had a certain tantalising redhead not caught her eye... Yeah, Fourth Year might not go that well. [CREDIT TO JANICE SUNG FOR COVER ART]

"To die will be an awfully big adventure." As many as the Diggory siblings read over the line neither one of them were expecting to experience or witness death at such a young age. But it is the only line that Thea can focus on after her brother was murdered during the Triwizard Tournament. Every night since it happened, Thea finds herself with the book in her lap, her parents haven't spoken since the funeral and it's almost like she doesn't exist anymore. She was never really out there to begin with, not like Cedric but at least he paid attention to her, he reminded her that she was special, even during times that she didn't believe it. When it comes time to return to school, Thea suddenly finds herself surrounded by people. People that have never spoken to her in the six years that she's attended Hogwarts. All of them, offering their condolences, willing to lend a listening ear if she wished to talk about it, but what was there to talk about? Cedric was dead, and he wasn't coming back. She doesn't want to speak with these strangers, she doesn't want their pity, all Thea wants is to be left alone. There is one soul that can see how much the girl is hurting without her brother, but he's seen the faces she's given whenever someone approaches. George Weasley understands he can't approach Thea as he normally would with others. But all he wants to do is see her smile again because seeing Thea's distraught face does not settle well with him at all. So, he starts off small, tripping over his own feet around her, in hopes of getting a laugh. However, it doesn't seem to work until the first frost comes and while he isn't trying to fall, he slips on ice dragging his brother down with him and finally, he hears a laugh. It's not easy for Thea to heal with Umbridge coming to Hogwarts, but George has every plan to help her. This plot was originally created by @PseudoNymphadora/@kmbell92

❝ I swear to God, that girl's the worst thing to happen since Grindelwald.❞ ❝ She stole your seat on the train, let it go...❞ ❝ And lay off Grindelwald, he could rock your Grindle-world if you'd let him.❞ ▬▬▬▬ Aubrey should have known Saskia Cyrus was an odd one the moment an age-old gong fell from the Ministry's ceiling and almost decapitated her upon their first meeting. And that was only the start of weird things to come when Saskia unexpectedly shows up at Platform 9 ¾, decked out in Hufflepuff uniform and ready to start the year. Fred and Aubrey had always expected Seventh year to be a bit strange but throw in a new professor with a personal vendetta, a secret organisation, not to mention the suspicious breaking of Pansy Parkinson, 'a bit strange' becomes the understatement of the century...

❝ I'm sorry but why did you fancy George? He's the ugly twin. ❞ ❝ You literally have the same face. ❞ ❝ And I still managed to be hot, remarkable, isn't it! ❞ ▬▬▬▬ When Aubrey Jackson started her Sixth year, she had one major aim: get closer to her long time crush, George Weasley. What she meant by this was maybe actually talking to him, not waking up in the body of his twin brother one morning for no reason. Aubrey was always the turning lemons into lemonade kind of girl so if anyone could make the best of the situation it was her... although these particular lemons probably needed beating down with a hammer if she was ever going to get anything good out of them.
