    Summary

    An 8th Year story exploring what would happen if Slytherin were radically depopulated as part of fall-out from the War. Who would want to be associated with the house supporting the losing side after all?

    ***

    The first glimpse of the castle brought them to a halt.  Hogwarts had been badly damaged by the battle.  Harry could remember the building collapsed in pieces all around them.  Significant repairs had been made in the intervening months but it still bore scars.  Most of the walls had been restored but large chunks were still missing and the work that was completed seemed to have been done with more haste than care in places.  It was obvious where the stone was new.  Ron must have been having similar thoughts because he broke the silence.  “It looks a right mess.  Do you reckon they let Filch oversee the repairs?”  The last attempt at a joke half-hearted.

    Hermoine, answered seriously though.  “I wonder if it was deliberate?”

    “Why would the deliberately repair it badly?” Harry wasn’t sure if it was disbelief or anger coloring his voice.  He hated seeing the castle like this.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger is starving for praise, for friendship, for relief from the overwhelming loneliness and harsh criticism she has known all her life. Neville Longbottom is starving for touch, for affection, for someone to see him as anything other than an almost-squib who will never measure up. Harry Potter is starving for all of it - food, affection, friendship. Ron Weasley doesn't understand what's wrong with his friends, but he's desperate to help. Who better to tell than his favorite professor?

    Or

    Minerva McGonagall helps Remus Lupin get over himself and they accidentally start adopting abused kids. Severus Snape begrudgingly helps.

    Summary

    "Tony," Steve says, sharp and Commanding, and the sub's gaze snaps to him. Hazey and frightened, in that lost way that screams drop.
    How the hell had he missed that?
    Maybe because he's too lost to take care of a sub, especially one like Tony with his trauma that no one will talk to him about, that he's supposed to navigate with no map.

    Summary

    A part of Henry had always assumed he would die within the walls of the library.

    It's a statistically sound assumption. He spends most of his waking hours here. He puts too much trust in the wobbly tables he stands on to hang decorations. He dares to use the ancient elevator that screeches and groans during its slow, perilous journey between floors. He often volunteers to go into the boiler room and bang on the unit so it starts up again. And out of pure obligatory politeness, he eats the godawful cookies Janice leaves in the staff break room on Fridays. Obviously, it will be one of these ill-advised choices that causes his untimely death.

    Then he walks in.
