Where Are You? by Ginny Weasley Potter
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 32]

Summary:

MISSING
Name: Sheila Anne Rhodes
Age: 22
Height: 5ft 3in

Last seen at Fistral Beach wearing an orange bikini. If found, please contact us through any of the numbers listed below.


Someone goes missing at a beach in Newquay and apart from the grieving family members, nobody is really worried. After all, people keep disappearing like that throughout the year, right? Maybe Sheila's father or husband has unknowingly made an enemy somewhere. Newquay is still safe anyway.

That is what Chris Stevens and his steady girlfriend, Cheryl Willis, think as they head off to Cheryl's beach house for a vacation with a few other friends. Everybody is really looking forward for the trip-- it seems to be a breath of fresh air in each of their busy lives.

But what happens when the number of disappearances begins to increase with no trace of any of the victims? And if that's not bad enough, here's what seems to be a bigger problem. Cheryl has unwisely invited Chris's ex- girlfriend Daisy Joe to the trip and to Chris's horror, she agrees to come. So which new disaster is waiting to happen when Daisy and Chris come face-to-face again? Have they really moved on enough?

To top it all, there is a third problem too. Daisy and Chris may have both moved on with Cheryl Willis and Emil Turner-- both well known actors who take around a lot of publicity. So how is being with such famous Muggles a wise idea, when the wizarding world risks its exposure with every wrong step that either of them might take?

In this sequel to Killer Instincts, sit back and wear your seat belts as I take you through a ride of love, lust, jealousy and lies with a promise to keep you on your toes through every moment of it. Though the story is mainly about my own characters, it is set in the wizarding world in the era of the trio.

Paper back cover. Big breasted woman showing lots of cleavage. Smoking gun. Is this pulp Harry potter fiction?

Author's Response: I suppose it does have a pulp fiction theme to it. No big-breasted women and guns, though. :P

 

Unspeakable by C_A_Campbell, Northumbrian
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 22]

Summary: Unspeakable, Michael Corner, is researching time, events, and probabilities. While testing his newly-invented RANDOM system, he stumbles upon an unspeakable possibility. Former supporters of Voldemort, all acquitted for their crimes, are dying of so-called natural causes. Intrigued by the possibility that these events might be connected, Michael investigates farther.

Much More Than A Game by Hypatia
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 87]

Summary:
“Lord Voldemort has never had a friend, nor do I believe that he has ever wanted one.”
-Dumbledore, HBP, ch 13

Dumbledore was rarely wrong, only once did Lord Voldemort desire a friend. It started out as only a game, but became so much more…

This is the story of how the teenaged Tom Riddle met a unique individual and slipped from cold indifference, to affection, to friendship, to romance. Discover how even Voldemort’s cold and callow heart was once broken beyond repair. This is for anyone curious about how an imperfect love warped and twisted a corrupt young man into the Dark Lord.
