Two women of different ages, but both at a defining moment of their lives, must decide how to deal with a world very different to the one they imagined. Their future can either be the one they determine, or the one that is determined for them, but it cannot be the one they truly wanted. JK Rowling created the original characters.

Auror Ron Weasley is sent to The Forest of Dean to investigate a series of grisly murders. Even though the victims are all muggles it is felt the murderer is part of his world, the magical one. What he finds will test his resolve to the core. Can he resist before he, too, becomes a victim - or worse? I am not J.K. Rowling, just in case you're wondering.

Not everyone can be a hero, and anti-heroes have their story to tell; stories of hopes and dreams crushed and replaced by doubts and fears. We may not agree with them, but they have a right to be heard. An occasional series, starting with Petunia Dursley. JK Rowling created these marvellous characters, I just borrow them.

Seamus Finnegan, war hero. Now a drunken wreck existing only for a few brief hours when his passion can rule. Passion is an extreme compelling emotion. It also means suffering or agony, as of a martyr. Rate M mainly for language.

Wars are fought by heroes, to make a better world. Aren't they? But if war is the defining moment of your life, what happens to the rest of it? Some will struggle to live the peace their sacrifice deserves. A one shot about two people.

After the disaster at the Ministry of Magic, Bellatrix Lestrange thinks the Death Eaters could benefit from some "Corporate Training". A random and OOC one-shot. If I owned the characters, I would be called JK Rowling, but I'm not.

She left. One day she just wasn't there anymore. They knew she was still alive, she still wrote letters to her parents. Why had she gone? A little plot bunny that popped up and waved to me. Should be more than a one-shot. JK Rowling still owns it.

Malfoy / Weasley, Capulet / Montague. What's in a name? Romeo and Juliet as acted out at Hogwarts, as two star-cross'd lovers head inevitably towards their fate. JK Rowling owns owns the characters and location, William Shakespeare the plot.

A time-turner fic with a difference. What if you went forward in time, not backwards? What if you met your children, who were the same age as you? Could you be friends, or would you still be mummy and daddy? JK Rowling still owns it, of course.

The married life of Remus and Nymphadora Lupin. It's canon, so don't expect a happy ending. Rated T for later descriptions of the Battle of Hogwarts and the potential termination of a pregnancy. You are allowed to review it, you know.

Follow Ron and Hermione through their lives, starting after the defeat of Voldemort. There will be good times and bad. Highs and Lows. Life, really.

Post DH. Everything in the garden is rosy, but Hermione still thinks something is missing. Once she figures out why, nothing will stop her from putting it right. Rate T, just in case.I don't own any of it. If I did, you'd be buying the hardback.

Was Dolores Umbridge evil incarnate, or an ordinary person caught up in an extraordinary situation? Would you have been any different to her?
