Summary:

First part in the "Lamenting Changes" series



Luna Lovegood has never been one to fit in with the crowd, whether she tries to or not, and the one main reason is because of her father’s magazine, The Quibbler, and the constant rubbish it seems to be printing.


Noah Wipple has always been one who lived by facts and avoided the ones who didn't, so when he meets Luna they automatically clash and Noah decides he must avoid the aggravating girl at all costs.


But fate seems anxious for some entertainment because when the students get assigned to write a report together in Transfiguration class, Luna is paired with Noah and this rather odd pair must learn to work together; even if it kills them.

Summary: Of course, if there's a venomous snake loose in the grounds, it simply has to go for Ron. And all the better if its venom is so fast-working that he only has two hours to live. Oh, did I mention Hagrid is away?

What do you think; can the Trio, Professor Lupin and a bunch of schoolkids find the antivenom in time to save Ron's life? Read, and find out.

Summary:

Summary: Tallulah Delarosa, a Muggleborn witch, has lived a very sheltered life, and she needs to learn some independence. But between an over protective mother and a very short leash in Capulet, South Carolina, that's never going to happen. Even being sent away to the Bell Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry can't even seem to give her the shove that she need. Not potions, not friends, nor pushing teachers can seem to get Tallulah out of her rut.

But maybe a winter's night hike up Whiskey Springs Pass, which is believed to grant wisdom to those brave enough to travel there, is what will.

Summary: Harry prepares to face his final challenge: to destroy Voldemort's many Horcruxes. But the desire to return to his old life at Hogwarts, to see his friends safe, to care for Ginny Weasley make him indecisive and vulnerable to the Dark Lord's mental probes. If he can force himself to embark on a lonely, certainly fatal path to destroy the Horcruxes, his mind would be clear. But he can't leave his friends; or, rather, they won’t leave him to an uncertain fate.

But, with loyalties going to the highest bidder, and blind devotion is a blessing can Harry really fight his way through the turmoil to do what he may be destined to do?

Summary: "That was no hurricane," said Fudge miserably.

"Excuse me!" barked the Prime Minister, now positively stamping up and down. "Trees uprooted, roofs ripped off, lampposts bent, horrible injuries-"

"It was the Death Eaters," said Fudge. "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's followers. And... and we suspect giant involvement."
