Five years post Hogwarts Battle and the Marriage Law has finally been ratified. Hermione has been chosen to marry Snape, the odious Bat of the Dungeons and her fellow professor. However will it end? ####These wonderful characters (with the odd exception) are not mine but belong to the wonderful JK Rowling. I'm just borrowing them for this folly, nee frolic, through my imagination for a short while. Arbuthnot Gillan IS my character. He's like everyone's most wonderful, Jewish uncle, but more wizard like. Anyhoo - enjoy this romp. And please please PLEASE like and comment (I LOVE comments but please don't make me cry.) The chapters are very short so you should be able to breeze through it. It's not deep with a highly entangled back story/sub story, but what it is, is a little light romance with a bit of angst and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Have a lovely, and wonderful day full of romance and love.##### JR xxx **COMPLETED***

Aurora Beauchanan is many things, and apparently being a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is about to be added to that list. With quite a few secrets that are better left untold, and befriending not only Harry, but the Weasley's and their friends as well, her whole life is about to be turned upside down, even more so when she meets the enigmatic Potions Professor, Severus Snape...And as Severus tries to unravel the mysterious personality of the young witch that seems unphased by his ill tempered and harsh disposition, he can't help but be curious about the unabashed and defiant Gryffindor who seems to present more trouble than she is worth. With a spirited character and an attitude to match, Aurora finds that blending in and keeping a low profile don't exactly make for an easy life, especially with the Triwizard Tournament around the corner. When nothing is as it seems, how is she supposed to distinguish between what's real and what isn't? Say....feelings about a certain potions professor that she can't seem to stay away from? As the secrets and mysteries pile up around her while her past threatens to expose itself, Aurora will have to overcome insurmountable odds and decide who she can trust as her life hangs in the balance. After all, sometimes things aren't about doing the right thing, but doing what needs to be done. This story takes place during the events of The Goblet of Fire. Soulmate AU with a bit of a twist, since happy endings don't necessarily last forever. Note: This is a rough draft, and the first round of editing changed the POV from first to third person. It's still being edited, so a second draft should take care of any remaining grammatical errors and the like. Thank you for sticking with this story, and I hope you enjoy it!

There was a time when Lord Voldemort was just a student as many others who attented the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry of Hogwarts. There was a time when Lord Voldemort was only human, but he was scared of love and unable to trust anyone. Evelyn Burke was just a simple girl who happened to attend Hogwarts with Tom Riddle. And she was so ambitious to think she could change history.

What would young Tom Riddle do when the girl he is intrigued by is simply like a flat line on a heart monitor? +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ DISCLAIMER: All characters and the whole Harry Potter franchise - except for Jeremiah Hallysworn, Mallory Evans, Alice Urie [plus a few other more characters I haven't decided to get into the story yet] - belong to none other than J. K. Rowling

Elizabeth Marin was one of the most intelligent students in her year. The person stopping her from being the best? Tom Riddle. Elizabeth was prepared to go to any lengths to defeat Tom in being the top of every class - she was sure she'd make it. She was zealous. But what will happen when she gets paired with him more than she hopes to? Will 'zealous' become 'jealous'?
