    Bookmarker's Notes

    Severus was stuck with Potter and didn’t even have an Order of Merlin, First Class to compensate. Every morning Severus hoped beyond hope that it was all a potion-induced nightmare. But, no, every morning he woke to those pointy, little blocks of ice digging into him. It was no use. His life was forfeit and he was destined to wake every morning to cold limbs. What an apt metaphor for his pathetic life. Winter had nothing on his frozen heart. And because of it, Severus loathed Potter. Resented him every minute of every horrible day. He often wondered if Potter knew just how much he loathed him.

    Summary

    After Voldemort is defeated, the script for Harry's life comes to an end. Unsure of what to do with his life, he does nothing. Only one person is on hand to show Harry that a hero is not the sum of his vanquished enemies, but he's got problems of his own.

    Originally written for HP Springsmut in March 2006.

    Summary

    The war is over - or it should be. Harry is a war hero, is a decorated Auror, is a mostly-functioning adult. He attends birthday parties, other people's weddings, Christmases where no one mentions the seats left empty. He lives a step outside his own life, but he’s fine. He is.

    Albus Dumbledore is a respected Hogwarts professor, is the most powerful wizard of his generation, is a recluse with a broken heart. His world is collapsing from under his feet as the man he once loved pitches wizard-kind against itself. The war hasn't started yet, but it soon will.

    An escaped criminal and an ancient spell bring their lives crashing together.

    A pair of half-moon glasses glinting off moribund fires.

    No, Harry thought, distinctly, with an edge of hysteria. No, that's enough.

    Harry sighed. "I only wanted you to listen—"

    "Oh, no." Snape raised a hand. "I will not listen to whatever delusional crap you think you have to say to me, I want this—this paranoia-meets-dementia little duet of yours to stay the fuck away from me. Is that clear?"

    Summary

    Healer Malfoy is a smirking nightmare! If only he didn't have such big, gentle hands. And striking grey eyes.

    ' "Can you imagine letting Malfoy treat the injured? They're giving him access to people who can't defend themselves if he goes rogue again!"

    "Honestly, Ron, healing is the one field he could go into to reassure everyone that he won't." When Ron and Harry both gave her perplexed looks, Hermione sighed impatiently. "Do no harm? It's like neither of you bothered to read in your lives. Healers take an oath. They can't act against others unless it's to save a life, and there are all sorts of specifications on the circumstances. This way guarantees Malfoy is more or less harmless." '

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Strange howling started up from somewhere, a few seconds before he realized he was still in excrutiating pain. Was that inhuman screaming coming from his throat?

    He felt a hand settle, cool and soothing, on his brow. "Shush, Weasel, you're interrupting the adults. It's safe for you to sleep now."
