TWENTY YEARS ON

Summary: Twenty drabbles about twenty characters, and where they are twenty years on from the start of the Harry Potter series – in honour of the twentieth anniversary of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, first published on 26 June, 1997. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARRY POTTER!

Rating: G

Words: 2,000 exactly

Notes:

By “twenty years on from the start of the Harry Potter series” I mean I’ve set this roughly in the summer of 2011, so it’s 20 years after the start of the main action of Philosopher’s Stone (1991: Harry’s 11th birthday/getting his Hogwarts letter), and 13 years after the end of Deathly Hallows (1998: when Harry’s nearly 18).

Probably some small deviations here from Pottermore and latterly JKR revelations about characters’ post-canon lives, since I tend to view those as interesting expanded universe but not strictly canon, and because in some characters’ cases I’d already written stories and established headcanons before JKR’s info came out. Minor stuff, though! Details like where Fleur works. :-)

RAISE YOUR LANTERN HIGH

Summary: In which Remus and Tonks fight battles, arrest criminals, befriend werewolves, overcome inner demons and, despite it all, find themselves a happy ending. A love story, and a story of the Order years. (My Remus/Tonks epic, which has been years in the making! This is the second half of the story, set in the Half-Blood Prince year.)

Note: This is the final chapter of a story that has occupied much of my heart and my brain for nearly six years, and I can't quite believe this day has come! Like the great J. K. Rowling herself, I feel compelled to thank you, the reader, who have stuck with these characters until the very end.

BE THE LIGHT IN MY LANTERN

Summary: In which Remus and Tonks fight battles, arrest criminals, befriend werewolves, overcome inner demons and, despite it all, find themselves a happy ending. A love story, and a story of the Order years. (At long last, my Remus/Tonks epic, which has been years in the making!)

Notes: Yes, the day has come: This is the final chapter of Part One! More notes about the upcoming Part Two are in the end note.

COME ALL YOU OUT OF – OR INTO – THE COLD

Summary: To come out of the cold, first you have to be in it. A moment of warmth in the winter of OotP.

Written for the

rt_morelove "Stocking Filler Exchange," for

shimotsuki’s prompt: “Warming up by the fire after coming in from the cold.”

Characters: Sirius, Remus, Tonks, Harry, assorted Weasleys

Words: ~950

Notes:

It's not too late to join in the fun over at rt_morelove! Prompting, claiming and posting are open until January 20 :-)

SATURDAYS AT THE SHOP WITH GEORGE

Summary: Without quite meaning to, Angelina drops by Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes to see George. Without meaning to at all, she keeps going back.

Originally a companion piece to Chambers (expanding on the scene where Ginny runs into Angelina in Diagon Alley) but it also stands alone.

Characters: Angelina Johnson and George Weasley

Warnings: None

Words: 2,600

Note: I know my George here is a much soberer one than the George we know from the books. I do think he must have gone through a very hard time after Fred died, but I also fully believe that with time he will get his humour and his zest for life back!

Thanks go to JKR.

CHAMBERS (chapter 5 – final chapter)

Summary:

In the winter after the war, Ginny navigates not only her own recurring nightmares, but also the demands of Quidditch captaincy, the weirdness of double-dating with one's brother and the surprisingly difficult path back to Harry, along with Hermione's obsession with inter-house unity, Neville's retreat into his books, Luna's lonely family life and a gaping hole in Ginny's family where her middle brother used to be.

In the winter after the war, Ginny starts putting the pieces back together, with a little help from her friends.

Characters: Ginny, with Harry, Hermione, Neville, Luna, Ron and all the Weasleys!
