Of Blood, Gore, and Alibis by lullaby BANG

Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary: It’s coming, believe it or not. The Ministry doesn’t believe it, but who will then? It’s infuriating to know you’re invisible to society, but then there’s something exhilarating, entrancing about it. It’s dancing the devilish dance: provocative, teasing- leaving the viewers wanting more, or better yet, it’s like having an addiction.

An addiction with a purpose to be more precise… oh, and the occasional bite. Who are we then? We’re the out casted of the outcasts within a secluded society that further alienates us and leaves us utterly alone, but we’ve finally found each other so we’re not as alone. Things can change in an instance, though, and they already have. I have to confess: I’m scared, but I’ve already started to dance so I must keep dancing.

And besides, I don’t want the vampire or werewolf communities seizing control of the Ministry because I’ve already seen what they’ve done.

When Green Was Just a Colour by R_Ravenclaw

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: There was a time when I used to be understood and cared about, but that was long ago, and I try not to remember. It came about by strange circumstances, only lasting a short period, hardly any time at all, and it's most likely an event that will never be important in the grand scheme of things; nothing changed: everything stayed the same. And yet it was important, because it isn't every day that you realise who you are, and who you should become. I wish I could think of it without pain — with a fond knowledge of knowing that it changed me for the better. But wishes don't come true… Especially not my own.
