All the stories? All those rumors? They were all true - well, most of them. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was my grandfather's best friend, so, he'd know that side of the story very well. - The Voice I Call Steve 

So, we are sent to a different form of child labor, where we solve mysteries with whatever grey matter we have, eh? - Markeith 

Come on, lass. You must have heard the stories? You do recall who was Holmes's greatest enemy? Surely you must have heard of him? - James Moriarty, Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering 

*.*.*.*

It was a snap decision when she accepted the terms given to her by The Voice. It was either that, or remain in the system that abused her. She wasn't even sure until she was brought to a mansion of some sort and was slowly being deprogrammed from her previous lifestyle. She became Markeith, one of the many adopted into the system of Sherlock's Home, House for the Orphaned. 

Sent on one of the bigger missions with her partner, things began to turn for the worse when a man that went by the name of Moriarty began to surface, sending cryptic messages and little riddles that involved the assassination of the Queen herself. It further goes south when a mysterious man called Cedric Marton decided to help her and her team of rebels with a cause. To help matters worse, she couldn't help but feel attracted to both - Moriarty and Marton. But, will she let her heart be ruled over, or would she let her mind choose her own path?

[Sherlock x Female OC] The thing is, there is an empty, gaping hole at the base of John's throat where his overwhelming guilt and periodic bouts of torturous grief used to be. It would be so easy to... to be angry and punch a hole through the wall, through the foam of his pillow -- drive his fist through Sherlock's heart. But he remembers; in the most tragic and inopportune of fashion, remembers how angry he had been when Sherlock had jumped, how furious he had been at his funeral, and how it hadn't stopped him from breaking down at his grave nonetheless. The thing about his anger is this: it does nothing but leave him behind in the end, a bundle of nerves and frailty in his bones and an unsteady sway to his gait. It does nothing at all, but reduce marginally the constant, suffocating oppressiveness of his days bleeding into one another with a burst of adrenaline. The thing about his anger is this: it doesn't give him back Sherlock. So he gets a new flatmate- a woman named Holland. They were great friends at school and in fear he would be lonely again after Sherlock died he started to meet up with her, and soon, she moved in with him. They're just friends, though. No one could have a bond with John like Sherlock did. Sherlock was his best friend. But then Sherlock returns, and John is more furious than ever at him. Also, Sherlock and Holland seem to bond quite well, which is something Sherlock finds too complicated to explain itself.

"'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.

"Who was she?" "She was the most incredible girl I ever knew." "Did you love her?" "Of course I did, but that's not the best part of the story." "What is the best part?" "Let me tell you," ------------------- ABOUT THE BOOK Amelia Merlin is an exceptionally powerful witch, descended from the original Merlins and a long line of Druids. In her first year at Hogwarts she soon discovers her abilities are way out of control. Amelia goes to great lengths to keep her friends safe from herself. But the consequences are more severe than she can imagine. Loyalties will be tested, friendships will fall and through everything, we learn who we can truly trust. Amelia goes through life as a normal young witch starting at Hogwarts. But as time goes on she realizes just how abnormal she truly is. Will she be able to defeat her betrayers? The ones who would see her dead? Or will she meet the same fate as many before her? -------------- REVIEWS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE READ THIS STORY "This book is terrifying and amazing and I literally love it!" "...this story is very unique. There's been no mistake in my part for clicking the "read" button!" "Wow! The story plot is really good. It's really interesting-love it! Update pleeeease!" "I LOVE your book! It's amazing and I want to keep reading more...Amelia is one of the most perfectly formed characters I've ever read!" "This book just doesn't lose it's magic!" ------------------ Dislaimer!!!!!!!! Lots of the things in here are copied from the books, like the sorting hat song, and Dumbledore's speeches etc. Just to say, I don't own any of that, or the idea of Hogwarts. That all belongs to the one and only J K Rowling. But this is a work of fanfic so I feel like some copied stuff is to be expected.
