"It's just that.... I'm not quite brave and selfless enough to be Gryffindor. And I'm not quite cunning and ruthless enough to be Slytherin. I'm not quite anything."
He shook his head and I saw a smile flit across his face for an instant before he pulled me into a tight hug. I felt him breathe steadily against me for a moment before there was a ticking sensation on the top of my head.
"Not quite." he said.
And I was perfectly ok with that.
It's tough coming from an all Gryffindor family with all Gryffindor friends and being placed in Slytherin. By her fifth year, Clarise thinks she's gotten over all the problems but they've only just begun. With Voldemort returning and all the rumours and many sides, Clarise will have to choose where she stands. ((HAH. Ok I know I suck at summaries. Whatever just read it.))

What is right and what is easy (Book 1) [A Draco Malfoy Love Story]
"You know I'm not a man of many wise words Chloe Potter." Said the boy, who I have always thought as rather dim "and I don't care who you are, or who you're related to..." "Ugh, where exactly are you going with this?" I rolled my eyes, looking into the amber flames of the fire that set homely and warm light around the room. The way the light danced across the walls made it seem as though the two of us were not alone. "The same way we've been trying to go for about two years" He said "come on, you can't really be that blind can you?" I paused, no idea what an earth he was talking about. I didn't reply to him, I just sat there. Refusing to talk to him, to give into what he was saying. He caught on and continued, as though my response wouldn't have mattered anyway. "You don't see the way he looks at you." I scoffed and tore my eyes away from the fireplace "and how exactly does he look at me, may I ask?" There was a sickening silence falling around the room as he sat in deep thought for a while. He joined me on the sofa and stared into the flames I had found comfort in looking into only seconds before. It was a small while before he spoke again and the words lingered around my head for an even longer time. It may not have even been what he had said, or even whether it was the truth. It was just the simplicity of it that made me want to hear more. "Like you're a wild fire and he's just desperate to burn." ---- *I do not own the Harry Potter series. *All characters and story lines belong to J.K Rowling (Besides Chloe, who is my own character) *this is set in the 4th year.Complete
🜸 {{ - SHE'S JUST A GIRL - MATTHEO RIDDLE - }} 🜸
Fifteen-year-old Madeline Potter has spent her life hidden away, overshadowed by the legend of her brother, Harry Potter. When she finally arrives at Hogwarts in her fifth year, she expects to be sorted into Gryffindor, to finally belong at his side. Instead, the Sorting Hat makes a choice that shocks the entire school-Slytherin. The Great Hall falls silent. Harry's face is frozen in disbelief. The Gryffindors whisper, the Hufflepuffs glance at each other warily, and the Ravenclaws analyze the implications. But the worst reaction comes from her new house. The Slytherins sneer. She sees the disgust in Draco Malfoy's glare, the cold judgment in Pansy Parkinson's smirk. A Potter among the snakes? A betrayal of everything her brother stands for. The first weeks are hell. Whispers follow her down the corridors. Some Slytherins ignore her. Others want her gone. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are wary-Why Slytherin?-and Harry's distant confusion stings more than she expected. But then, something shifts. Mattheo Riddle, dark, unreadable, and carrying a surname that terrifies most, doesn't sneer at her like the others. Theo Nott and Blaise Zabini don't shun her completely, watching her instead, testing her. Even Lorenzo Berkshire, ever the enigma, seems curious. Pansy, instead of tearing her down, extends an unexpected invitation-because, as she says with a smirk, if you're going to survive Slytherin, you'll need friends. Even Draco, reluctant and cold, starts seeing her differently when she refuses to back down. As Madeline fights to prove herself, she begins to see Slytherin for what it truly is-not just ambition and cruelty, but loyalty, strength, and survival. She expected enemies. She didn't expect to find a place where she might actually belong. But war looms. Lines are being drawn. Loyalties are being tested. And Madeline must decide: stand with the brother who barely knows her, or the house that's becoming her home.
MIND GAMES | Lucius Malfoy
-CURRENTLY EDITING- Vivienne Rosier has always known her family was shrouded in mystery, but she never imagined just how deep it went. Born into a prestigious Pureblood dynasty with French roots, she grew up among Slytherin's elite without ever suspecting that her own parents were keeping the truth from her. As Hogwarts trembles in the wake of Cedric Diggory's death, Vivienne finds herself caught in a web of secrets, dangerous alliances, and an alchemical quest that could change the fate of the wizarding world. And then there's him: Lucius Malfoy. Cold, untouchable, and everything she despises. But as the truth begins to unravel, their lives intertwine in ways neither of them expected. Between clashes, revelations, and impossible choices, Vivienne must decide whether she can trust him... or if her heart is leading her straight into danger. ---- "Do you make a habit of this?" he asked, his voice now a low murmur meant only for the scant inches between us. "Of what?" My own voice sounded embarrassingly breathless. "Of testing boundaries." His gloved fingers flexed slightly around the cane. "Of seeing how far you can push before there are... consequences." Before I could form a retort, he did close the distance. It was one fluid, predatory step that brought him directly into my space. My back pressed fully against the doorframe. His free hand came up to settle beside my head, his forearm braced against the frame, caging me in. ----

Freaks: Year Two
*This series in the process of being rewritten.* Harry was, to put it mildly, nervous when he was asked to tutor a student from Professor Slughorn in History Of Magic, but he had tried to keep positive. "I'm your History Of Magic tutor." Harry told the Slytherin boy, sitting down cautiously. The boy nodded and sat down nervously. "My name is Alabaster Jackson." Oh. Jackson. Of course, out of all the students - out of all the Slytherins he would be asked to tutor, it would have to be the person who was related to Theodore Jackson. With their first year complete, Jasper Odair and Harry Warbeck head home with the idea that summer would go well. Harry was back home with his parents, and Jasper...well he finally felt confident that he had a solution to his not-so-great home life. Things were looking up, and the second year couldn't be too bad, right? With the excitement of the American school Ilvermorny visiting for an All-Star Quidditch game, things couldn't go too horribly, right? Well, that was until the two of them both found themselves in a situation with a Slytherin; a Slytherin named Alabaster Jackson who was finally allowed to explore the world around him. To him, that was supposed to be exciting, but all he felt was anxiety and confusion. His parents couldn't be involved with a man who was a killer, right?

Loyal
Leo Tonks is beginning her sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Up until now, her life has been fairly simple: time spent with family, friends, and always something new to learn. As the world around her begins to change Leo becomes closer with Hogwarts hero Harry Potter. Join Leo as she navigates uncertain times, constant changes, and the joy of life as a sixteen-year-old witch. -As she walked down the train Leo heard a voice call out behind her. "Decided to come back have you? I thought maybe you'd given up and stayed home instead of having to endure another year with the embarrassment of being a Hufflepuff." Leo turned and, already knowing who the comment was coming from, stuck her tongue out at her cousin. "Surprised your OWLs were good enough for you to come back" she shot back, "Or did your dad talk them into letting you repeat fifth year." Draco smirked and walked toward her. "Well, I guess we'll just have to put up with each other for another year," he said and ran a hand through his hair. As he drew closer Leo noticed that he had grown taller over the summer and looked more mature than last year. She also took note of the tired look in his eyes. Leo always worried for her cousin, but seeing him like this her heart ached with sympathy. NOTE: This is my Original Character version of loyal, I also have a xreader version if that is more your speed :) I do not own anything to do with Harry Potter and am merely adding my own spin to things. All credit for the creation of anything Harry Potter related goes to J.K. Rowling. Leo Tonks and any other original characters are created by me. I do not own the drawings on the cover photoComplete

Unforgettable (Fred & Hermione)
They had won the battle but Hermione was just about to find out how much she'd lost. If the last thing Fred remembered was in her fourth year of Hogwarts then he wouldn't remember anything of their story. Anything of how he fell for her, how they first kissed or how she first realised she wouldn't ever be happy with anyone else so long as he walked the Earth. Her Fred was gone. And it was all her fault. She had thought their story was unforgettable. Until it wasn't. **** "I think about you a lot Granger... like a lot a lot" He finally admitted. "You better be joking Weasley" She breathes shallowly as she backs against the wall. His hands found their way to the wall on either side of her head and she was cornered. Her breath quickened and she was sure he could hear her heart beating. "Not this time Granger." He smiled that damned smile that had already gotten her into so much trouble as he leaned down towards her.Complete
Drarry - A Love Triangle.
Harry is back at Hogwarts for yet another year with his friends, but instead of the excitement that he usually feels to be returning to his beloved home, he finds himself feeling nervous. He isn't sure why because everything is going well for him: he's doing well in his studies, he's got the girl he had always dreamed of and he and his friends are closer that ever, so why does he has a nagging feeling of worry? Enter Draco Malfoy, the school heart-throb, blonde hair and grey eyes. He makes all the girls swoon, yet for some strange reason Harry feels something more than hatred towards the slytherin. As they always said, there's a very thin line between love and hate. Throw in some problems with Ginny, arguments with his friends, and countless encounters with his nemesis Draco Malfoy and you get the year where everything is about to change! A/N ALL credit goes to J.K.Rowling, as she created the wonderful world of Harry Potter. This is merely a fan writing because she loves the book. Anyway I hope you enjoy. Also remember that this is a PG 13 and there is some language that might not be appropriate for younger readers. You have been warned, so please don't read if you don't like it or passionate scenes. Thanks.Complete
