Summary: Ron and Hermione have always had a special connection. But mix in a fake French girl, a handful of dares, a cup of Hogsmeade trips, half a pound of Malfoy, and a pinch of detentions, there is definitely some trouble to be anticipated.

A look into Ron and Hermione's fifth-year minds to experience the spazzness and crazyism in first person.

Additional warnings: May contain fluff, excessive randomness (AU), and minor plot twists!

I would also appreciate if NikkiSue/Nicole could mod this for me :]

Summary: What do you do when everyone who ever knew you has abandoned you, when your chances are blown apart by circumstances beyond your control, forces set by fate that you cannot influence? You die. This is the story of Tom Marvolo Riddle.

Excerpt from Prologue

It cried out of the womb, but minutes after it had adjusted to the warm air of the orphanage, it quieted. A half an hour passed while they cleaned mother and child, rinsing the dried blood and changing the white sheets of the bed. Midnight drew closer. When they were through, Abbey helped wrap the baby in a dark blue blanket. It looked healthy, though pale. But as it gained strength, the mother on the bed seemed to lose strength. With care Abbey handed the bundle to her, placing it in her weak arms.

“His name,” Merope gasped, “Tom Marvolo Riddle… Tom’s his papa’s name; Marvolo his grandpapa’s… he would’ve wanted…” and trailed off, her eyes fluttering.

Summary: Harry and his daughter Lily make a run to the store one Halloween night, and Lily witnesses a Muggle Halloween for the first time. Many questions arise, but in the end, Lily desides that she, too, is part of this magical night.











This is Harry_Rulz of Hufflepuff writing for the Halloween Challenge, Halloween Explained prompt.



I'm excited/proud to say that this fic won third place in the Halloween Explained Challenge!

Summary: Grand sweeping AU. What if there was no Harry Potter? No “Chosen One” to stand between the Dark Lord and his quest to rule the world? This is a question that one rogue Death Eater set into motion and, in another frame of time that was torn from our own, it has been answered none too prettily. It is in this world that three heroes must unite to salvage the remains of humanity’s goodness left behind in the whirlwind of violence and oppression that have scarred it so deeply.

Callie Conleth is a beautiful, brilliant, and charming young witch whose seemingly pureblood heritage grants her an enormous blanket of protection while she works as a spy for the Order of the Capricorn with her partner, Jerry. This blanket, however, did not save the person she loved most, her elder—werewolf— brother, Gary, from “disappearing” when the Dark Regime conquered North America. Nor has it afforded her any peaceful sleep when she knows how all of her Muggle and Muggle-born neighbors have mysteriously vanished as well. Always thinking one-step ahead, Callie acts with fire running in her veins.

Mel Cúchulainn, childhood friend of both Callie and Jerry, is a Dragon Rider who, thanks to the treaty the Rider Tribes have signed, has kept on the outside of the great wizarding war. A blind eye is not something that settles well with the fierce, skilled, and tenacious Mel—or many other Riders either—and she, along with her Dragon, Chance, finds herself in a unique position to help change the Tribes’ minds. Cool headed and deadly, Mel fights with all the might of her soul.

Jerry Moore also finds nothing for himself in the pureblood credo that the Dark Regime holds. Brave, intuitive, and jovial to most people, Jerry’s smile hides a sensitive young man who cannot accept a world that offers little to no protection for not only helpless humans but also elves, centaurs, and other so-called “half-breeds” persecuted beneath the new rule. With a chivalrous intent to defend those in need, Jerry always looks with the inner eye of his heart.

The winds of change are blowing and whether for bad or good only time will tell. What is certain, however, is that these three friends will be very close to the eye of the storm as it rages. They are unique magicians bound together by the past, love, and fate, but is even the steely resolve of the young a match for an army of Death Eaters? With hope such fragile thing in this war-ravaged world is mankind lost without a “Chosen One” to lead the way? Or can fire, strength, and sight be found before it’s too late? The path is dark and painful but does that mean our heroes cannot travel it? Find out the answers to these questions and more in: Intus Temporis Infractus.

Summary:

Ignorance is your new best friend.

Will she say it, or won’t she? You’ve been waiting for half of your life to hear her say those three words. But no. She’ll just continue to hurt you, and you know it, deep down. Know it, but refuse to believe it.

Summary: CoS era: Ron meets Aragog and his charming family when Harry drags him along for a visit - and he is afraid. Very afraid... A hopefully humorous songfic from Ron's PoV, inspired by the Gloria Gaynor song of the same name.

Summary: The course of true love never did run smooth. James' infatuation with Lily is driving him–and his friends–insane! Peter accuses the fiery redhead of being cold-hearted, Remus suggests growing-up and Sirius won't stop bickering with Tabitha while coming up with plans that turn out for worse! Add to that romantic tribulations of their own, lycanthropy and the imminent rise of the dark arts and you ought to find more than just a bit of mischief and mayhem.

Follow Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs through their last two years at Hogwarts, were merlin-knows what they will get up to! Ragging hormones, danger, grief and love are one of the few things they'll face and, of course, let's not forget about pranks. After all, that's why the girls at Hogwarts sigh, the teachers swear and Dumbledore just chuckles.
CHAPTER THREE IN THE QUEUE, Excerpt:

“As I was saying,” Lily continued, “Professor Goone...well, he hasn’t moved for the last twenty minutes, not even with all this noise.”



Peter breathed in, heavily. “You don’t think he’s dead, do you?”



“Shouldn’t we...I don’t know, try to wake him up?” she suggested, ignoring Peter’s remark.



“Are you mad?” exclaimed Sirius. “Why would you do that? He’s having a jolly good time sleeping; we’re having a jolly good time talking. Everybody wins.”



Lily didn’t even spare a glance at Sirius; instead she kept her eyes focussed on Remus. “So, what do you think?” she asked him.



Remus shrugged. “I’m not sure–wouldn’t he feel embarrassed that we caught him sleeping in class if we wake him up?”



“Right,” said Sirius. “We’d hurt his feelings!”

Summary: Draco Malfoy is and always will be a fighter. It's when we're put on the battlefield with our own demons that fighting becomes a challenge.
