Four Versions of June, 7th, 1957

by graou

"Albus Dumbledore discovered Minerva in tears in her classroom late one evening, after she found out about the marriage of Dougal McGregor to another woman. She confessed the whole story to him, and Albus Dumbledore offered both comfort and wisdom, telling Minerva some of his own family history, previously unknown to her. The confidences exchanged that night between two intensely private and reserved characters were to form the basis of a lasting mutual esteem and friendship," says JKR. This is a development—actually, four possibilities, one per chapter, of how it could have looked, sounded, felt like to a younger Minerva McGonagall and a less ancient Albus Dumbledore.

Snape's Original Miscellany

by scaranda

When Severus Snape retired from Hogwarts, after teaching Potions for ninety-two years, he expected to live in a house he had inherited from an old uncle. However, retirement being just another orbit around planet shite for our Severus, what he actually inherited was large gambling debt and a shack which had been re-mortgaged so many times to the Goblins that Severus had to go into hiding for some years. It is unclear just how Snape spent that time, but he recently resurfaced in a retirement home for bewildered wizards in Scotland, accompanied by a large black dog. His successor in the post of Potions Master found his diaries in some papers hidden beneath a hairbrush which didn't appear to have been moved for some decades. He read them and quit his post a week later. The position remains vacant.

The Garnet Star

by beneathoceans

Dailus was the crowned Prince of Apodis, a kingdom of winged men and women who have built their city high in the mountains of Unuk and El-Nath. Their kingdom was rich and content though it was bordered by the sea.

Atrya was the youngest daughter of Emperor Nun-Chi of the city of Eridu, and her people dwelled in the waters of Pleione. The ocean was abundant with life and treasures, but the air above prevents them from conquering the world and claiming it for their own.
Theirs was a forbidden love that could never be, for one worshipped the skies, while the other swam the seas. However, they found love and shared it in secret. But secrets always have their way of coming out, and with that revelation an ancient hatred between their people would bring them all to war and complete annihilation.

There was only one way for their love to continue and survive, but it was perilous. Many have tried it and perished. Dailus and Atrya will test the boundaries of their love, and their world, and find escape with THE GARNET STAR.

The Sound Inside a Shell

by Alice in Potterland

Wedged between two eras of turmoil, the students of Hogwarts never imagined they'd go down fighting. Life at school was defined by teenage rebellion, tough classes, and nail-bitingly exciting Quidditch games. Grindelwald's defeat was news of the past, but some told of a new dark wizard on the rise by the name of Lord Voldemort...

But for Alice Emerson and the rest of her class, that was simply irrelevant. The outside world stopped at Hogwarts' gates until tragedy in their fifth year brought it violently to the forefront.
