❝ the heart can get really cold if all you've known is winter ❞ [harry potter - marauder era]

*Warning : If you haven't read Tightly Knit and Gunpowder and Cinnamon, go do that first!* Fred and Eleanor Weasley didn't plan on becoming parents so young but they never regretted a moment once they discovered that Eleanor was pregnant, shortly after their honeymoon. Once the little one was welcomed into the world, the two instantly fell in love and all their worries and fears were gone. Their only concerns remained with raising their daughter to be happy and enjoy everything life had to offer her. And that's exactly what Hope Weasley did. With a large supportive family and amazing friendships added to the mix, it's never a dull moment in Hope's life and she wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

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.

The daughter of two famous Quidditch players, Anora Forney, has grown up travelling the world. And while her parents are known for their skills on the pitch, Anora garners her own attention wherever she goes as many people love to get a glimpse of the child with naturally white hair. However, the world tour comes to an end when Anora receives her acceptance letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Surrounded by adults for much of her upbringing, Anora is initially quite nervous about interacting with peers of her own age. But with her feline companion, Iggy, at her side, she embarks on her own journey. Along the way, she meets Charlie Weasley, a boy whose hair is as red as her hair is white. And bright locks are not the only thing the two have in common, as their love for magical creatures and the outdoors, sparks a friendship that cannot and will not be broken. But their friendship is put to the test as their Seventh Year at Hogwarts approaches, and feelings that were not there before, start to surface. Nothing gets an adventure-packed romance started like dropping out of school and running off to the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary. And that is only the beginning. Cover Credit : @cendriia

A knock. A gentle rapping on the door. A simple gesture of indirect propriety. And yet, so powerful as it has the ability to change all that we know. First Bilbo, now I. This gesture, if you will, holds power in the timely inconsequential, yet divinely consequential, unleashing of events...fate, in simpler words. For with a knock, comes a key. A key to unlock a door. The door which, to hand, it opens. And open it does, to new faces. New faces of old histories and future memories. Memories of companionship, hope, and love. Oh yes, dear Frodo, a knock is more than just a gentle wrapping on the door, a gesture of indirect propriety. A knock is the call to adventure, and in this case, my own. For every journey begins somewhere, not at the twisting of a doorknob, but at the initiative to change the world. Most people know me by my mother's name: the Savior of Durin, Queen Under the Mountain...Erudian Houdart. If not, they know me by my family, inborn royalty and kin to four Fellowship members. I am neither brave nor a warrior. I am an unintentional thief, for I stole the gentle heart of Bilbo Baggins. I am Pyrhhin Oakenshield, and my story begins with a knock, a gentle wrapping on the door, a simple gesture of indirect propriety… This is the sequel to "Saving Durin" and follows the story of Erudian Houdart's daughter, Pyrhhin Oakenshield, during the time of "The Lord of the Rings."

Amidst such hardship and tragedy, it was unlikely that Erik Lensherr would've expected to come across anyone remotely like himself during one of the world's darkest times. Yet this is where he met Liesel Jäger, another unlikely discovery made by Sebastian Shaw. Being different could just get them through this, yet what happens afterwards? With Shaw on the run, it becomes apparent that Erik is determined to find him, while Liesel is uncertain. Perhaps with sudden recruiting she may just be swayed to joining in with stopping the madman from starting another world war. But once this is done and finished with...what then? New trouble arises, old friends return, and new ones appear. A peaceful simple life is all that Liesel had every really wanted, shame that it is the complete opposite to what Erik wishes for.

While his hunger for adventure disappeared with time, Lily's never faded. Lily's life changes one fateful night, but is it for the better or worse? Could this adventure she'd always dreamed of going on prove to be too much for her in the end, or will she stick it out?
