Regina took the small box from Fred, slid her finger under the paper and carefully unwrapped it. She slipped the lid of the box off and stared at the exquisite dragon hair clip with matching earrings. The dragons were made out of jade and edged with gold. The hair clip was large enough to hold Regina's hair in a high ponytail but small enough to hold a small amount of her hair away from her face. She pulled the earrings from the box and removed her small gold studs to put her new earrings on. The dragon earrings dangled about an inch from her earlobes. They swung with each turn of her head.

For Sirius, the consequences of leaving home collide after a game of Quidditch.

"A fine line runs between almost everything in life. Sometimes we choose to cross that line, and other times we're pushed across it. And on occasion, that line is broken entirely, taking the choice out of anyone's hands. I didn't like any of the situations. If I chose to cross it myself, then that would mean that I was responsible for what I had done. If I had no choice in the matter, then at least I'd be able to blame someone else, and then, just maybe, no one would blame me. I had no such luck."

Ginny needs help but she won't admit it. Harry tried to be the savior... again. And Draco just HAS to be in here!

It was cold and dark that day, but it was not wet. The rain didn’t start until it was all over – it was there to wash the battlefield clean. The two sides faced each other across the march. Endless rows of hooded, cloaked figures were lined up against our ragtag ranks. All faded into the fog.

"He watched it bleed its color day by day and remembers that once, his world hadn't been so blank." The Dementors took many things from Sirius.

It had been alright in the end. Perhaps it was better this way, after all, with Ron and Hermione like sheer myths to him. Perhaps it was better to see his life with them as a fairy tale story that one day the reader had stopped reading. Perhaps it was better that though the first to die, the innocents would not be the last. Harry was prepared for this day, hour, very moment. Inspired by the song "We're Forgiven". H/Hr

Ginny waits for the return of the trio. One-shot. H/G

Harry’s in deep trouble. He’s also in Hull. Factor in an evil, fuming faction, a nemesis, and some Ancient Greek Thugs and you’ve got yourself a fic.

Sometimes, things we think are lost can be found in the darkest of places. Ginny muses on what she has lost, and in the end figures out what she has gained. G/T. One-shot fic.

While Slytherin and Ravenclaw competed in a Quidditch match, the Hufflepuffs decided to have a “friendly” game of tag. No other house would ever think of putting the word “friendly” in front of a sport, or an in-class discussion. Or a meal time. The other houses were in love with hatred. Hufflepuffs could easily be seen as the Hogwarts hippies. Kindness, peace, togetherness, man.
