It Happened That Night by weasleytwins4ever
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: That night wasn’t what Harry had expected. To find himself at the Three Broomsticks with Draco wasn’t what he had planned, but he went with it anyway, thinking nothing of it. It’s what then happened after they left that changed everything.

Lord Voldemort is dead. Here’s to a happily ever after. Or not. Life after the war is far more complicated than anyone expected.

With the death of outright evil, something more subtle has taken its place, and one wizard may not be enough. This time, it takes the whole family.

Unbreakable by hestiajones
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary:
Time has a habit of changing our lives, our thoughts, our priorities; the things that were important to us then are often not what are important to us now. We’re remoulded and reshaped, our malleable selves determined by new desires, new goals, new feelings to be passionate about. That’s what makes us human.
I am Hermione Granger. I’m twenty-two years old. I have a new reason to live, and it’s Ginny Weasley.
Hermione Granger has been asked to investigate Pansy Parkinson’s successful and suspicious escort company. But when she joins Glamour Escort Services under a false identity, she’s forced to make decisions she never expected to.
A Very Long Day by MetamorphmagusLupin
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: AU. Teaching dunderheads had been difficult; being a spy, even more so. Manipulating the Darkest wizard of the age had been nothing short of taxing. And yet, there are days when Severus believes that everything else pales in comparison to the trials of parenting. Another glimpse in my SEVERUS AND ZOE SERIES.
Taking Direction by WeasleyMom
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: What if the characters in the Harry Potter films were portrayed—not by actors—but by the book versions of themselves, as created by Rowling? How might things unfold on that set? What would the characters think of the changes made from the stories they’d already lived out… to the ones written for the script?
This fic is a series of one-shots, posted as chapters, each from the perspective of a different character who is dealing with the changes occurring between the book and the script.

Of Misfits and Fighters by huff-slyn-dor-claw
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: AU. The Wizarding World according to blood purity rather than house. This story follows the life of a muggle-born genius, a mess-haired half-blood, a ginger blood traitor, and a struggling pureblood. In a world where they are pariahs, they are looking for a place to call home. And so begins a quest to find change within the systems of government and more importantly to find somewhere, anywhere, to belong.
Albus Potter and the Room of Requirement by Theloonyhermione
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Albus Potter is at his first year at Hogwarts, and things aren’t exactly going as planned. Mysterious deaths of Aurors and the blocked off seventh floor corridor leads to many rumours - but which ones are true?
*AU Warning is for something EXTREMELY small. Honestly, I don't even go near AU stories and the warning is only so that I can put a tiny fact of my head canon into the story. Violence is in later chapters and not bad at all, and character death is very minor.
The Christmas Truce by Alice Mac
Rated: 3rd-5th Years • Summary: 'Tis the season to be jolly - or so the saying goes.
For them it is a time for war; a time for battle strategy and constantly looking over your shoulder.
She thinks there is always time for Christmas - the childish part inside of her that still believes in miracles does, anyway. He thinks she's wrong - but then, he always does.
Of Gnomes and Dark Magic by MetamorphmagusLupin
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: AU. In an attempt to convince her father of the existence of magical creatures in their neighborhood, Zoe lets slip a bit of knowledge that Severus isn't happy about. Another "glimpse" and a continuation of my Severus and Zoe series of stories. This takes place in the summer following Christmas Eve Justice. It's highly recommended that you read the stories leading up to this one, but isn't necessary.
Crimson with a Silver Lining by TheGreatLinkster
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: It's after the war and Voldemort has won, leaving the wizarding world decimated and all those not of pureblood status dubbed less than human. Hermione must find a way to live in a world that no longer wants her, and when Ginny's youngest child Lily is put into danger, she turns to the least likely person for help and sells herself to the Death Eaters in exchange for saving Lily. Darkfic, post Hogwarts, AU.
