Dean Thomas and the Reiver Curse by Equinox Chick
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 18]
Summary: “Muggle-born, eh?” said the first man.
“Not sure,” said Dean. “My dad left my mum when I was a kid. I’ve got no proof he was a wizard, though.” **
Dean Thomas’ life is a mess. While the Trio were Horcrux-hunting and the Gryffindors were reforming Dumbledore’s Army, he was on the run. Living on his wits, he paired up with Ted Tonks, only to see him killed by Death Eaters.
He spent a year away from Hogwarts dreaming of a day he could return, but as September 1st 1998 approaches, he realises he cannot go back.
There are things he needs to do and a past he needs to discover before he can move on.
** indicates a line taken from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - The Goblin's Revenge.
Oh please write more of this story! I'm so intrigued!
Author's Response: Oh, Merlin, I've ignored this story for so long -.... ooops. I will try and write some more soon, I just seem to have taken on too many other chaptered fics, but I do know what should be happening. Thanks for the review ~Carole~
Lavender, blue - A Gryffindor true by Equinox Chick
Rated: Professors [Reviews - 112]
Summary: 
When Lavender Brown returns to Hogwarts for her seventh year, she knows things will be hard. Professor Dumbledore’s death has scared everybody, and with her Muggle-born mother in hiding, she makes a promise to her father to stay safe.
But to stay safe she must ignore her instincts and turn her back on her friends.
This is a Lavender Brown/Blaise Zabini story, but also concerns that last year at Hogwarts when the Trio were a'hunting Horcruxes.
Thank you to Laura (bookofsecrets) and Terri (mudbloodproud) for beta'ing the first chapter, Alyssa (Harry4lif) for the second and Emma (Amortentia x) for taking over the reins. And Natalie for the last chapter.

This story won the 2010 QSQ for Best Chaptered Non-Canon Romance. Thank you to everyone who nominated, appreciated and judged.
ATTENTION: Because of prissy glitch on the archive, stories with a rating about 3rd-5th cannot be read. I have lowered the rating to enable access, but the content remains the same. This is a PROFESSORS rated fic. Read at your own discretion - the sexual situations warning is there for a reason.
A very well written story, Great characterisation.. I've never even thought of these two together but after reading this they just seems like canon...great account of seventh year at hogwarts.
Author's Response: Thank you very much. I'm glad they appear canon to you, that was uppermost in my thoughts. I just wanted them to be plausible. They'll probably crop up in other stories of mine now. Thanks again ~Carole~
