Summary
Having survived first year oblivious to Dumbledore's machinations, but wiser to the world of wizarding politics and Slytherin Ideals, Harry Potter is eager to start his second year.
Harry still wants to prove himself, while also coming to terms with the concept that he is worthy of unconditional love but that not everyone can be trusted.
Draco still wants to be the best friend that he can, while also developing more of his own identity.
Severus still wants a drink, while also grappling with the knowledge that the Dark Lord definitively knows he's a traitor, but as of yet, Lucius Malfoy does not.
Series
- Part 2 of Slytherin Ideals

Summary
The Wizarding World is on the precipice of change once more. Lives are ruined in the years leading up to it, childhoods rewritten by a single night.
✶✶✶
Lyra Black has found herself in a difficult position, torn between two futures: the one presented to her by a family that demands her loyalty and repentance, or one she'd have to build herself, alone and ostracized, but without the stain of blood purity. An already difficult choice only further complicated by the fact that the second path was so eerily similar to that which her mass murdering, blood traitor of a father took before betraying his friends and losing his freedom.Perhaps starting her schooling at Hogwarts would make things easier. Except now Lyra comes face to face with the victim of her father's crimes daily: Harry Potter.
✶✶✶
Currently completed up to the end of Goblet of Fire.

Summary
When the Ministry informs Harry that they are coming to destroy his wand for defending himself from the dementors that attack him in Little Whinging, Harry knows there's only one path left available to him. He can survive on his own. He knows how. It won't even be that hard. And being on the run in his animagus form makes him a feel a little closer to Sirius, anyway.
At least, he thinks so, until he's picked up by a pet store, sold to a classmate, and brought right back to Hogwarts where the state of things is so bad that he's actually glad he's expelled.

Summary
It's too far out of her way and she's wasting so much money, but Lily can't help but return to the bookstore every weekend, where her passion for good literature has, perhaps, been unexpectedly reignited by the messy-haired, pun-making, rather handsome bloke who works there.

Summary
Albus Dumbledore rose to his feet, smiling at them in that way of his, like he knew something you didn't and he was proud of you for it. "Friends," he began.
The door thudded open and the Marauders burst in, late and pink-cheeked with cold. The headmaster smiled at them, too, and Sirius gave a cheery little salute back.
Severus sunk lower in his chair, staring witheringly over his butterbeer. "You told Potter about it, too?"
"He might as well put all that energy to good use," said Lily. "And, to be accurate, I told Remus."
"But Potter, really?" said Severus.
"He and Black cooked up a jinx that gives you a boil every time you say a slur to a Muggleborn," said Lily. "It was either invite them to Alice's war club or bake them cookies, and I know where my skills lie."
Severus sniffed. "Don't come crying to me if he tugs your pigtails."
"Come crying to me if he pulls yours, and I'll deck him," said Lily.
(Slight AU in which Severus apologizes, tries harder, and stays friends with Lily)
