And maybe this is the year she finally reaches out?
Sort of, kind of a Sirius/OC intermingled with some drama sprinkled here and there, a couple of charmingly chubby Hufflepuffs, and enough kissing to make things interesting for everyone who is not, in fact, Cera Hipkiss.
Lorcan's Dilemma by ntoforhp
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Most wizards who know him would say twenty-eight-year-old Lorcan Scamander has it all. He is tall, handsome, brilliant, athletic, well spoken and charming. Lorcan followed the Scamander family tradition, becoming a highly respected naturalist.
Lorcan enjoys being in strange and exotic places searching for magical creatures and also previously undiscovered flora. His writing includes not only his scientific discoveries, but also his observations of the people and places he’s seen, which have made him a bestselling author not only in wizarding Britain but also the rest of the magical world.
There are a few people, mostly witches with whom he has had affairs, who say he is aloof, arrogant, and totally narcissistic. Lorcan is a bit of a rogue when it comes to women. He is called “love’ em and leave’ em Lorcan†by his brothers. Locan explains this by saying, “Why love one woman when you can make love to many?â€
In a strange turn of events, Lorcan is about to reconnect with an old friend who will turn his well-ordered world and his perception of himself upside down.

Firewhiskey (A Love Story) by Wonk
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: (Neville Longbottom/Hannah Abbot). The Firewhiskey became a habit after that, though they would both insist that it was a friend, not a crutch. The kindly intermediary that moderated their visiting across the bar on busy nights, slow nights, work nights, weekends. It loosened their tongues.

Even the Most Unlikely by Wenlock
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: We fear most that which we don’t understand. Dorcas Meadowes is a journalist, devoted to telling the truth about You-Know-Who.
We fear least that which we have defeated. Alastor Moody is an Auror, fighting to end the war.
Their hearts are full - full of courage and steely resolve to win the war, with no room, they think, for anything else.
But they don’t know that even the most unlikely people can find love.
Warning: You might recall that Dorcas Meadowes was in the original Order of the Phoenix, and that Voldemort killed her personally. If you’re looking for an overwhelmingly happy love story, I’m sorry to say that you won’t find it here.
