AU in which Remus and Sirius are caring for 7-year-old Harry and Wormtail has been 'captured'. Following a horrific muggle attack, Dumbledore re-establishes the Order of the Phoenix. The story of Voldemort's return to power, just a few years earlier than planned! Lots of character development and an alternative take on defeating the horcruxes. Enjoy! x

Sirius and Remus are together and hunting down Wormtail as well as caring for six-year-old Harry. Follow on from my 'Rescuing Harry' series, but can easily be read alone.

James Potter has been in love with Lily Evans for over two years, but to her, he's still just an arrogant toerag. That is, until one night before Christmas changes everything… My take on how the Jily romance begins. One-shot.

Five-year-old Harry is having a horrible time with the Dursleys, and Remus Lupin feels lonely and isolated following the loss of his friends. Might it be possible that the two wizards find solace in each other? Another 'rescuing Harry' fic no one asked for, but I appear to have written anyway! Eventual Wolfstar.

Albus Dumbledore sits in his office and reflects on a week mediating between staff and counselling students. As a man who plays his cards close to his chest, he does not readily ask for help. How does he manage when things begin to feel too much in the wizarding world?

Regulus Black joined the death eaters at sixteen years old. It had seemed at first like a dream come true, and he was loyal to Voldemort, Bellatrix and the dark side. What exactly happened for him to see the light? How could someone change their mind like that, and how did he gather the courage to eventually leave? A generally canon-compliant story of the war from Regulus' POV.
