Decreasing Entropy by Imasharpie
Fandoms: The Locked Tomb Series | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir

Summary
Gideon no longer tried to hide herself or her blatant staring. Sometimes Harrow looked back, but mostly she averted her gaze in apparent disinterest. It infuriated Gideon. Years and years of snide comments, of telling on her for every misstep, of pretending to hold the moral high ground as she spit on Gideon, and she didn’t have the decency to give her the time of day. The next week, Gideon executed her plan. The barrier between them was as wide as a science building hallway and Gideon cleared it in four steps.

"Does She Know Me?" by The_Unqualified1
Fandoms: The Locked Tomb Series | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir
29 Jan 2022
Tags
Summary
“Son of a bitch.” She muttered softly, amazed and… seemingly awe-struck.
And it hit us then, that though we had not met this girl… we had seen her. In our dreams that visit at night, this girl always stands before us. Sometimes fighting. Sometimes yelling. Sometimes younger. Sometimes hurt and crying out for us… but… it’s always her. With black and white paint across her face in the mask of a skull.
She seemed as equally smitten with us, so finally… a question had to be asked.
“Does she know me?” We stare past her for a moment to the one that looks after us, watching this encounter from the door.
“What is she taking about?” The stranger asked, not tearing her eyes away even with confusion rippling through those amber dots.
“She asks because she is not sure.” Camilla clarified.

Viktor was subtle but straight-forward. He had questions and he asked them and he got to know her that way. And Fleur?
Fleur was a mess who aired her woes about her crush to her friends. In French....too bad Hermione speaks French. Sshhh!

Summary
When Petunia Dursley refused to take Harry in she forfeited his birthright protection, so Dumbledore took the baby to the safest place he knew: Hogwarts.
The applicable staff (mostly just… not Snape) took Harry in on a rotating schedule as he grew from baby to toddler to child. They traded extra credit for babysitting among the older students, and Harry grew up knowing a few dozen different laps that were safe and warm to nap in.
This was a Harry who grew up among books, among old transient walls and learned professors. They gave Binns night duty sometimes, and let him talk young Harry to sleep. This was a Harry whose world changed, on principle, daily. The stairs moved. The walls became doors. You had to keep your eyes open–you had to pay attention. So he did.
He grew up in a school. Knowledge was power, but knowledge was also joy. This was his sanctuary. There was magic in his world from birth.
