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!

Characters: Aberforth, Andromeda, Angelina, Arthur, Charlie, Dean, Draco, Fleur & Bill, George, Ginny, Hagrid, Harry, Hermione, Luna, Minerva, Molly, Neville, Percy, Ron, Teddy

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.)

( Chapter 20: Making a Scene )

FANTASTIC BEASTS AND HOW TO WIN THEIR HEARTS: A RETELLING OF BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
by stereolightning and starfishstar

SUMMARY:

A man with nowhere else to turn agrees to live forever in a remote mansion that exists in perpetual autumn, his host a reclusive character known only as the Beast. By turns attentive and taciturn, the monstrous lord of the house keeps his dark secrets close to his chest, yet both host and guest find themselves increasingly captivated by one another. But how can a Beast give his heart while he remains a prisoner of his own curse?

A fusion of Harry Potter with Beauty and the Beast, told in seven chapters.

( Fantastic Beasts and How to Win Their Hearts, Chapter Six )

( Neville Longbottom and the Year That Was )

CHAMBERS

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!

Words: ~22,000

Story:

Chapter One
Chapter Two
Chapter Three

SCENTS OF SORROW, SCENTS OF JOY

Summary: Crookshanks disliked the loud, ginger-haired one from the first.

Characters: Crookshanks, Hermione, Ron and others

Words: ~1,100

Notes: Something short I dashed off today, while the idea was in my head –

stereolightning (“The Cat in the Night”) and

gilpin25 (“Found in Translation”) inspired me, and I thought I’d try my hand at Crookshanks fic!

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: Here's the next-to-last chapter of Part 1! I'll post the final chapter of Part 1 post in about two weeks, and at that point I'll let you know how it's looking in terms of when I'll be able to start posting Part 2 (which covers the HBP year).

And it hurts even to have to say it, but: Warning for major character death in this chapter. (But if you've read OotP, obviously that's not exactly a surprise.)

( Chapter 17: The Storm )

BRIGHT-EYED AND BUSHY-TAILED

Summary: Hermione's never stopped dreaming of inter-house unity. But these days she does more than just dream.

Characters: Hermione Granger, Minerva McGonagall, forty bright-eyed and bushy-tailed first-year Hogwarts students

Words: ~1,200

Notes: For the prompts of: “Hermione Granger,” “Minerva McGonagall,” and “screaming” (from a ficlet activity at

rs_games, though I joined the party too late for this to be officially part of that).
This expands on a bit of my own headcanon from my story “Chambers,” but you don’t have to have read that to read this!

Story:
( Bright-Eyed and Bushy-Tailed )

FEELS LIKE HOME

Summary: Sitting together on her dilapidated sofa over a cup of cocoa seemed like such a cosy, homey sort of thing to do. And Harry, to Hermione, always felt like home.

Characters: Hermione, Harry

Words: ~1,400

Notes: …And we’re back to my usual mode. As in, here, have a character-driven one-shot in which two people talk and reflect about things! :-)

Inspired by conversations with

stereolightning about Hermione as a character, and about potential Hermione-and-Harry interactions. This is written to stand alone, but also draws on some of my headcanon established in "Chambers" (takes place about a year before this story) and "Saying Yes" (takes place a number of years after).

Story:

( Feels Like Home )

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.

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 :-)
