Summary
Harry Potter spent his eleventh birthday in a cabin on a tiny rock in the middle of the sea, listening to his cousin snore on the couch.
When a knock sounded on the wind-swept, rain-drenched door, it was not a giant fist (or a half-giant's fist). It was a short sharp rap that sounded once, twice, three times before Minerva McGonagall simply charmed the lock open and stepped inside.
"Apologies," Minerva said crisply, as Vernon raced out brandishing his rifle and Petunia pulled Dudley up off the couch and behind her. "I wasn't sure you could hear me over the weather.” The rain fell down behind the professor in a roar. She was perfectly dry.
Minerva fished in her pocket without looking, because the only things allowed in her pockets were only ever exactly what she needed. “I've come to deliver this," she said, pulling out a letter and handing it to Harry, who was cross-legged on the floor, "because our owl post seems to have been unable to get through.”
“And I've come to deliver this," she added, pulling out a second letter, "because Hogwarts by-laws require a professor to hand-deliver acceptance letters to Muggleborn families for their explanation and comfort."

The war is all but over, and the wrong side won. Worse, the Wizarding World's hero and Ron Weasley's best friend died in the fight. When Draco Malfoy offers Ron a way to go back and fix things, he jumps at the chance. But can he anticipate how his changed moves will affect the board?
[Trope stew: this fic began as an exercise, an attempt to use problematic or challenging tropes. A meta-discussion of each trope to follow each chapter.]

Summary
When news had come home that Bill had gotten Ravenclaw, Arthur and Molly had shared a look but sent Bill a congratulatory letter and some newly knitted blue mittens. “He was always too smart for me,” Arthur had said, and Molly had hummed.
“Hufflepuff, it’s a… nice… House,” Molly had said the next year, searching in her knitting basket for a shade of yellow she didn’t dislike too badly while Arthur looked over the friendly little missive from Pomona Sprout. How had she ended up with so many ugly threads? They must have been gifts; she wouldn’t have bought this pastel mustard skein, even at a 90% discount.
“You know,” said Arthur, later, as they watched the Express carry Percy away to his first year at Hogwarts. “I don’t think Perce is gonna be the one to break the streak.”
“So it’s a streak, is it?” Molly said, keeping an eye on the twins, who were chasing pigeons she was hoping they wouldn’t manage to catch. It was making Ginny’s day, though, the little girl covering her laughter with her fists, so she wasn’t stopping them yet.
“I think it is now,” he said.

Summary
“Mr. Evans,” Ollivander said, smiling wider. “Any relation to Lily Evans?”
“Who?”Harry Evans was almost like any other boy growing up in Cokeworth. He lived alone in a house nobody else could see, he stole food from the supermarket and never got caught, and he had a little brother who had been hidden after the night their mother was killed. Harry was a secret, and he promised not to tell.
A letter in an empty vault, a small boy with broken glasses, a portrait of a scowling girl. As Harry begins unraveling his own past, the threat against his brother grows.
How long will his secrets keep when Harry is the only one standing between his brother and the world?
A story about family, friendship, growing up, and, of course, the most powerful magic of all

Harry Potter is a lot of things.
He's the Boy-Who-Lived, he's the leader of the Light, he's a mostly full-time politician and a part-time pain in the ass, according to his best friends. What he really is, right now, is done with people and in need of a good drink.
Tom Riddle, dark wizard, probable Dark Lord, certified thorn in Harry's side, is the last person he wants to see tonight. Too bad the man can't take a hint.

Summary
Severus Snape, plagued by erotic dreams of his 7th year student, Hermione Granger, decides to train her as his pet against her will.
This work is porn with very little plot. The universe ignores the ending of Half-Blood Prince: Dumbledore lives, Severus is a Potions Master again, all the kids return for their final year and life goes on as normal – except for Hermione, who finds herself at the focus of Professor Snape’s unwanted, perverted attention.
Story plays in Hogwarts seventh year (1997), and Hermione is already 18 at the start of the story (her canon birthday is 1979. September 19, plus she aged a year herself with the time turner).
This story was written to indulge my non-consent kink. It is porn without plot. Please note that the characters aren’t role-playing and Hermione isn't having a good time here. If this bothers you, please don’t read.
Disclaimer: this story is just a fantasy. Rape, is a horrible thing, and no one ever should have to experience it. It’s unforgivable and inexcusable. This work in no way endorses that. If you would like to try a non-consent roleplay, please don’t use this fiction as an example, do it in a safe way, with a trustworthy partner and with safewords.- Language:
