Summary
When Remus came back to himself, he was in the middle of the Forbidden Forest, naked, shivering with pain and with cold, and he could taste blood.
“I don’t have the full story,” said Madam Pomfrey. “You’ll have to speak to Minerva or Albus for that. But Black has escaped, and - Remus, I am so sorry. You bit Hermione Granger.”
or: a story of innocence, experience, and prejudice, spanning the summer holidays after Prisoner of Azkaban.

Summary
Hermione frowned. “The real question is why the magic of Britain would be failing now, in fact.”
“That is not the real question!” Ron said loudly; he’d woken up fully by now, and Harry had too; it was starting to sink in that they’d found the problem. “The real question is, how do we fix it?”

I must say I loved the idea of magic failing as a premise to start the story, I did not product where it would go from there though. I wanted action and adventure and I got it, I wasn't expecting all the Arthurian lore though haha

Summary
Alternate universes never seem as real as our own. Draco felt no differently. He never questioned whether, in a far-off knot of space, he started hating Harry Potter at eleven and never stopped. All he knew was that here and now, it was unthinkable not to love him.
This is Draco’s story from eleven to seventeen, should the flap of a butterfly’s wing change fate just enough to coax him down a different path.

Summary
Unspeakable Draco Malfoy finally gets his chance to consult with the Auror Department when a series of mysterious doors covered in runic symbols appear all across the country, only to fade away minutes later. Draco’s eager to help solve the mystery of the doors until he’s partnered with Harry Potter, who still treats him like an enemy.
Things go from bad to worse when the reluctant duo find themselves on the wrong side of a door, trapped in a world where one wrong move might prove fatal. Between the menacing forest creatures and the bloodthirsty ruling class, no place seems safe.
To get home in one piece, Draco and Harry must put aside their differences and learn to rely on one another. Easier said than done.

Once upon a time, Harry Potter hid for two hours from Dudley in a chemistry classroom, while a nice graduate student explained about the scientific method and interesting facts about acids. A pebble thrown into the water causes ripples.
Contains, in no particular order: magic candymaking, Harry falling in love with a house, evil kitten Draco Malfoy, and Hermione attempting to apply logic to the wizarding world.

The W in Weasley stands for Werewolf by gonzoclock
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
20 Jun 2023

Summary
When a werewolf comes out of nowhere and attacks nineteen-year old Arthur Weasley, he thinks his life is over before it's even really begun. He's wrong, of course, and now all of forty years later the Weasley family is thriving, happy, and healthy- and every one of them is a werewolf.
Things are going really well for eleven-year old Ron... except for the part where he has to get through school without anyone finding out his family's secret while simultaneously keeping his new brother alive. Easy-peasy. Right?
(Pay no mind to the one-eyed beast that seems to be lurking in the shadows- it's almost certainly nothing to worry about.)
Features the entire Weasley family adopting Harry Potter practically the second they lay eyes on him (or before that, even); Ron Weasley finding himself being altogether far too nice too slimy gits who don't deserve it; Percy Weasley doing his best; Harry deciding that being enemies with this Malfoy kid is too much work actually; Hermione Granger being as smart and ruthless as ever; Severus Snape who did not, and I repeat, did NOT sign up for ANY of this; and much, much more

Bookmarker's Notes
So this fic contains a lot of tropes I usually hate. Manic pixie Luna, everyone just immediately loves Harry, since they all love Harry they are just suddenly okay with getting along now, even if it makes no sense. Pointlessly either oblivious or cruel Dumbledore. Feral Ginny (though at least that what is away least partly explained by the premise: the Weasleys are all werewolves).
That said somehow I was still incredibly caught up in the fic and loved it a ton. I laughed outloud many times which isn't exactly normal for a fic. So I'm still impressed.

Summary
In 1967, Regulus Black loses a game of hide-and-seek.
In 1979, he is dragged, alive, from the underground lake.
In 1980, he turns reluctant spy for the Order.
These events are not connected.
But there’s a strange thread weaving through Regulus’s life, a splitting seam in the tapestry of his memories, a bogeyman that shadows his steps, and he can’t quite shake the feeling that he's missed something essential...

I really appreciate this story because it has a very detailed look at living with disability. My only real complaint is that they basically completely eliminate Harry's disability by the end but the author is aware of this so I forgive them

Summary
Harry unintentionally opens a portal to a long forgotten test hidden in Hogwarts. Stuck in an enchanted world faced with the realisation that no one will be able to find him, he logically decides to set out and complete the trials that await. Only, the place is covered in extinct Magical Beasts and all the instructions are written in incomprehensible Ancient Runes.
So, really, it’s a very good thing he managed to bring Draco Malfoy along to help.

Summary
Up at the teacher’s table, professor Quirrell was talking to a teacher with dirty red hair hanging around her sickly pale face like a curtain. Looking past Quirrell, two poison-green eyes, devoid of any warmth or empathy, found Harry’s own brown ones, and he felt a sharp pain on his scar.
“Who’s that teacher talking to professor Quirrell?”
“Oh, you know professor Quirrell already do you? No wonder he’s looking so nervous, that’s professor Evans, the potions mistress. Don’t get on her bad side, the old hag hates students.“
Harry looked again, but the teacher was no longer looking at him. Still, Harry could not escape the nagging feeling, which he had gotten just from a glimpse of her eyes and the cruel twist of her lips, that professor Evans did not like him very much.

Among the first Drarry I ever read.
Saras_girl's pieces are always quiet wanders about finding yourself and happiness in many parts of one's life. This one is one of the more unusual ones. There are alternate universe glimpses.
Definitely enjoyed the reread, though it was quite the time commitment.

Summary
Christmas 1979—danger, secrets, lies and their shared history looms large over the Blacks' first Yuletide season as a reunited family. While life as a fugitive proves bleaker (and more boring) than Regulus could have imagined, a botched espionage mission at Malfoy Manor draws Sirius deeper into the Black family web—and his cousin Narcissa's social set.
Meanwhile, Walburga hatches a daring scheme to restore her wild firstborn's damaged reputation in the family—finding him a suitable bride—while Orion grapples with the past, and the high price his two sons have paid for his inaction.

A truly enthralling exploration of Black family dynamics in the time of the first wizarding war. Small twist of Regalus survives is used as catalist.
500,000+ words and four chapters to go, though I suspect it may never be finished.

renascentia: into the fire by kuchikopi, tonberrys
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
12 Apr 2021
Tags
Summary
As the wizarding world is forced to face the reality of Voldemort’s return, a new focus sharpens the efforts of the Order. Trust grows between Regulus and “the vigilantes,” granted to (and by) some members more freely than others. The shadowed chaos of the previous year billows to new heights of aggression, setting aflame the spread of an escalating war, but as the attacks grow more frequent, the quickened hunt for the horcruxes resumes with more pointed aims.
Family, allegiance, and ideology are put to the test as conflicting sides yank and clash, push and pull, calling into question what it means to stand for one side or another - or what it means to try to stand somewhere in between.

Summary
In the summer of 1979, Regulus Black vanished from British wizarding society with horcrux in hand, ducking his head down into the obscurity of a French village to complete his task of destroying Slytherin’s locket - and with it, a fragment of the Dark Lord’s soul. When the risen Voldemort calls his followers once again, sixteen years later, Regulus makes haste to the home he left behind half a lifetime ago, reconnecting with his estranged brother and settling on a very different side of the conflict, with a very different set of allies. The Order of the Phoenix is reborn from the fog of the brewing Second War, tugging forth both old conflicts and new.

Sooner or later, every character gets their shot at a second chance. This is Peter Pettigrew's. He may not deserve it but he certainly wasn't happy with how things ended up. The only question was how to get a better future without having to possess the kind of bravery that the lack of had sent him running to Voldemort in the first place...
