Dumbledore goes to drastic lengths to try to keep the Ministry from interfering at Hogwarts during Harry's fifth year. Meet Hogwarts' new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Merula Snyde.

"…on the other hand, Ginny Weasley was perfectly happy again." Only, she wasn't – not at first, at least. It takes more than time to recover from being possessed by Lord Voldemort for nearly a year, but the black-haired boy who rescued her from the Chamber challenging her to a game probably helped with that.

"For God's sake, Merula. I'm a Hufflepuff. We don't do arch-enemies!" Sometimes, the heart just wants what it wants. And sometimes, there's a very good reason for it. A Hogwarts Mystery fic.

Harry Potter wakes up in an unfamiliar place, missing parts of his memory. His only clue to what happened to him is a young woman who claims to be his Auror partner. They are supposedly hot on the trail of a major criminal organisation, but as Harry is about to find out, not all is as it seems. Winner of DLP's March 2018 Story Competition.

"She Transfigured Seamus' testicles into a pair of tweezers!" Through a series of unfortunate events and unwise decisions, Harry Potter ends up going to the Yule Ball with Daphne Greengrass. Perhaps things won't turn out so bad after all: when you've hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up, right? …Right? Not your usual Daphne fic. Warnings for language and underage drinking.

Long awaited (cough, cough) sequel to my previous crackfic, Harry Potter and the Origin of Voldemort's Name. Voldemort attends therapy in an attempt to conquer his fear of death, but ends up just murdering a bunch of people. Stupid idiot.

The effect a twist of fate can have… Instead of Malfoy, Harry meets someone else at Madam Malkin's, someone who causes him to question the wizarding world more. What happens when Gryffindor boldness meets Slytherin shrewdness? A tale for the ages, of course. No bashing. Discontinued, pending rewrite.

There are many questions that have long been debated among Harry Potter fans. Among them: is Ron Weasley a good friend or jealous prick? Ron/Hermione or Harry/Hermione? This is my take on those issues and others. Enjoy.

The Hogwarts first year class of 1991. Some of them are familiar, some not so much, but all have their own life to live and a journey to take. "Of one thing the Sorting Hat was certain: these new students would be no ordinary class."

My idea of the argument between Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin that preceded Slytherin leaving the school, and how a thousand years of hearsay might have twisted Slytherin's intentions from honourable to sinister.

What happens when Harry discovers the French origin of Voldemort's name and uses it against him? If you're looking for a serious story, look elsewhere.
