"'It all started on a cold Saturday morning, not too long after everyone had returned from winter holiday...'" Not all adventures at Hogwarts are as well-known as Harry Potter's was. Some tales will only be known by those who, whether fortunate or unfortunate, found themselves tangled in magic history in the making. Other stories are only carried in the hearts of those who graduate from those hallowed halls of learning, cherished and never forgotten. This is one of those stories... Before Albus Potter received his Hogwarts letter, Alexis Powers and Elinor Scott roamed the school grounds, dealing with schoolwork, hanging out with friends, and trying to figure out what career to pursue after graduation. But what might be normal at a muggle school breeds mystery at Hogwarts. It's not long until riddles, curses, and keys are thrown into the mix, and suddenly, Alex and Elinor have more on their minds than the next prefect patrol. Not to mention a strange journal and prophecy that might be more relevant than they think. Will Professor Potter come to their rescue? Is there something foreboding ahead for the Wizarding World? Is there ever just peace and quiet at Hogwarts? Alexis and Elinor just might find out, with the help of their friends and some familiar faces. *Note: This short story is a fanfiction of a fanfiction, so it is based on the second generation Wizarding World established by @Smile_its_Elli in "The Star of Gryffindor" series, not necessarily HP canon.

Five years after Percy Jackson's disappearance, Olympus is falling, and their enemies are at a new height of power. Camp Jupiter has been destroyed and its inhabitants slaughtered, while Camp Half-Blood is facing problems of its own. After a kidnapping dangerously shakes the camp's morale, Rachel gives the first prophecy she has given in years - cryptic, yet it assures them of death. Meanwhile, Percy and Piper struggle to wrench themselves free of Pontus' grasp in the deep village of Agatha. Their time is running out like sand in an hourglass, and the axe dangling over their hands is lowering. Annabeth is broken, Jason is hurt, and the Seven are falling apart. They scramble to pick up the pieces as they sail across the Atlantic in search of their only hope: the spell to awaken Ouranos, primordial of the heavens before he was cut down by his son Kronos. In a mad dash to save the world, the Seven faces problems that could tear them down from the inside. TRIGGER WARNING: Mention of trigger themes such as eating disorders and PTSD is present in this story. • updates every Wednesday • theme song: 'imagine' by Ariana Grande

After the death of Albus Dumbledore in 1997, the Dark Side grows stronger and more invincible. Harry has decided to leave Hogwarts in his sixth year. But he soon finds himself back - not to bring justice. Because a new deadly change has taken place. This new change wouldn't have been there if one of the Hogwarts students hasn't performed a rebellious action. At the same time, it forms a clever yet so cunning idea. Reaped, Harry finds himself once again doing another 'task' which is never in his intention. Surviving the Hunger Games is yet another challenge to test bravery, power, brains and most importantly, life against love. ×Crossover of The Hunger Games (Catching Fire + Mockingjay) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows× [I do not own Harry Potter nor the Hunger Games! They are beautifully written by J.K. Rowling and Suzanne Collins! I own nothing but a piece of mind that mixes everything I can think of.]

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...

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

Book 4 in the Star of Gryffindor Series! After Wren Predatel was found alone in Hogsmeade after a large-scale attempted break in at Hogwarts, no one knew exactly what to do with her. A trial is whipped up to decide her fate, but the two key witnesses aren't even allowed to attend. Astra Lestrange is given a firm "No" to all her begging to go. Her aunt thinks it's the last thing she needs, and the Potters give the same verdict regarding James. After all, they've been through enough already; the last thing they need is to watch an old (traitorous?) friend get sentenced to Azkaban. There may be bigger things to worry about this year than Wren, though. It is Hogwarts' turn to host an old tradition, and everyone is excited. The only problem? Last time this happened at Hogwarts, someone died. And there's no guarantee it won't happen again. Join Astra in her most thrilling year yet, with new friends and enemies arising, and adventures more dangerous than any she's faced yet. Started: 6/8/16 Ended: 1/28/17

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
