Potter survives his latest encounter with Voldemort, only to find himself with a really big problem when he makes his report. The Minister for Magic uses his position to go on the offensive against the schoolboy. Trying to cope with an immediate political problem, Cornelius Fudge refuses to back down, his efforts amplified by a couple of well-positioned lickspittles.

Harry Potter considered it a rescue when he helped Bellatrix Lestrange cut short her second stint in Azkaban Prison. Enough was enough, in his view. They went sailing, then Bellatrix died. Potter learned he had two little Bellas, not one. Not a problem to Harry Potter's way of thinking. Now, if he could just meet someone who wanted to be a stepmother.

They didn't order him to visit the Office of the Historian for an interview. That would be undue pressure or improper influence. Their meaning was plain, certainly. He was glad he went along with their wishes. Very glad.

Two sort-of casual friends meet by chance on the street and start spending time together. They both have baggage they keep discreetly out of sight. Is anyone skilled enough to manage the complications? Rated M, because they are all adults.

A place to put pieces that start and end expeditiously. Post-war, reconstruction of Hogwarts, encore opportunities for characters who showed promise in canon but didn't get to display their skills, original characters who proved interesting, unexpected relationships, cameos. Not intentionally smutty although adults may indulge in adult activities.

Updated, with lots of edits. Harry and Hermione help Daphne Greengrass with a little problem, although they don't really do anything at all. It was kind of like fate. Young people, first jobs, big city. Learning how to live life.

So many things had to fall into place. Then they did, like destiny, like it was meant to be.

Following the final battle, Ginny cut Harry loose. That one little thing left him at liberty to look for someone else, have a family and send the next generation forth into the world. As a side-effect, later events were NOT EPILOG COMPLIANT. Abandonment, family dysfunction, one incarcerated parent, M for adult themes.

Due to a betrothal contract signed on his first birthday, Harry Potter grew up oblivious not only to the existence of the magical world of which he was a part but also to a formal relationship that was stealthily shaping two lives.

Harry Potter had high hopes for his fourth year at Hogwarts. He no longer questioned his future in wizardry. He wasn't anyone's poor relation. He remained friends with Ron and Hermione and developed a cordial business relationship with two business-minded Slytherins. Fourth year ought to be relatively uncomplicated, for a change. Think again.

Harry chose a spot for some contemplation only to find it occupied. After one thing led to another, and another, and another, the dimensions of the changes wrought in two lives began to emerge.

Harry's third year at Hogwarts gets off to a terrible start before a couple of Slytherin witches intervene. A little commercial enterprise ensues leading to a reunion between Harry and his godfather which wasn't anything like the way it was reported in the literature. And a bunch of other stuff.

The Hogwarts students who came to maturity during the Second Wizarding War have pushed through, one way or another. They're nurturing the next generation and building on what went before. They've learned a lot. M for adult situations.

Harry Potter and the Carrow Twins, Flora and Hestia, reunite following the final battle. Harry won't choose which is fine with the twins. An arranged betrothal threatens their futures until the contingency plan of the skilled potioneers puts the world back in balance. Rated M for situations, not florid descriptions.

A short story that follows Lavender Brown and Fred Weasley from shortly after their deaths at the Battle of Hogwarts until they go on to the next great adventure. Cameos from a few characters of whom we just can't seem to get enough. K for language.

Fred Weasley gets killed in the Battle of Hogwarts, finds himself in the vicinity and goes looking for a vantage point to watch the history being made. Lavender Brown turns up and they get caught up in the drama, intervene just slightly in the affairs of the living, and set out to explore the Bardo. Cameos from some favorite characters. K for language.

As Petunia Dursley approaches the end of her life, it is time for a conversation to clear the decks and get ready for the next big adventure.

Harriet Potter, orphan, student, witch. Heiress to fortune, power and titles, as long as she can keep putting one foot in front of the other. Not that she is all that concerned. M rating to cover all bases. Certain interpretations of fictional occurrences could raise questions in susceptible minds.

Have you embarked on a major life journey-love, marriage, academics, career-only to stumble? Even when you did nothing wrong the little voice inside asks, "Loser? Are you a loser?" You are not alone. It's not you. It's life. Endure. Embrace. Learn. Love. Believe. Short-shorts, only loosely connected, about Harry and his circle. Best read as short stories. M Adult themes

Harry had his fill of conflict so he developed a little business and used his spare time for a bit of do-gooding. Daphne got her mastery and became a healer. They had shared a moment or two but Harry made a mess of it, to his great regret. Why did Daphne seek out Harry when she needed another perspective? Was there an ember in those ashes?

Ever pick up a yearbook, see a photo, and wish you could ask someone, "Whatever happened to...?" Of course you have. Everyone has, except for liars. Hermione transformed herself into Millicent Bulstrode's cat. This leads inevitably, in some cases, to speculation about what Millicent eventually transformed into. One possibility follows.

Harry is just this eleven-year-old trying to cope when Hagrid shows up. Daphne Greengrass is smart, plain, hardworking and a pureblood witch from a family of very modest means. They aren't rich or prominent among the wizarding social set, but they are full of guile and learn fast. Of course they're underestimated, until it is too late.

Part Three of the story of Harry Potter and Daphne Greengrass, their friends, family, careers and adventures. As Harry and Daphne grow in their personal relationship, they face challenges in their careers and family lives. They learn as they go, the bonds between them strengthening with each crisis.

Continues the story of Harry and Daphne begun in Wheels Within Wheels. Harry and Daphne's relationship evolves from their early, tentative encounters, their careers develop, and Daphne shows herself to be a perceptive and capable guide and advisor to the still-impetuous wizard.

Wheels Within Wheels is the story of Harry Potter and Daphne Greengrass, who were promised to one another by their parents in the dark days of the First Wizarding War. As they explore their new, sometimes overwhelming mutual feelings, they also discover heretofore unknown facts, and facets, about their parents, close associates, and themselves.

Harry runs around getting ready for the St. Mungo's Ball, and has a very interesting conversation with Walburga Black's portrait at #12 Grimmauld Place.

Something for those who think Harry and Daphne make more sense.
