Stories by apAidan

I have a number of stories that are in varying states of completion in addition to the one(s) that are currently works in progress. These aren't ideas that are up for free adoption, and I'm slowly working on these as inspiration strikes. I'll be adding others and moving some of these to active published status as they reach a point where they're completable.

just my take on the seemingly eternal debate about whether or not 'Harry' was Harry's actusl first name. And how it might impact the TriWizard Tournament. This isn't plainchant, so there's Harmony to be had.

Strange and terrible things stalk the wild places of Britain. Of course, for Harry Potter, a couple of them might be a bit closer to home than having to travel to Bodmin Moor. Lunar Harmony implied, though only Harry and Luna managed to wake up early enough for this one.

Prophecy will always have it's way. And usually in a way you least expect. Cross an Epilogue with a prophecy. Throw in a cat in a box and the fact the Weasleys find that grandchildren are 'cheaper by the dozen'.Mix with Harry Potter's need to be helpful, and you get a situation where prophecy is fulfilled. Sort of. A very tongue in cheek look at Prophecy in the Potterverse.

It's two years after the Epilogue and there's an emergency at the DMLE. so Director Hermione Granger-Weasley has to go into the office and find out exactly what's going on. Epilogue compliant Harmony. Rating for violence / torture scene in chapter 6 Chapter 13 edited for a continuity error on 4/8/2013

A simple auror undercover mission, polyjuice, Draco Malfoy's hair, and the Half Blood Prince's potions text combine to find Harry in yet another hospital bed trying to explain a couple of things to Hermione. Rated T for mild cursing on someone's part Every time a Neo Death Eater cries, an auror gets his wings

In canon, healers and mediwitches were seemingly spared from the predations of the Death Eaters during both Blood Wars. St. Mungo's would have been a very soft target, but it stood inviolate. One patient was attacked, but the hospital and it's staff were spared. The question is, why? What could have kept mad killers in check? As with a great many other things, Poppy knew.

Neville gets a visit from an old housemate who is very distressed about something in the Daily Prophet. Unfortunately for Ginny, for once the Prophet has gotten it right. Inspired by, but not taken from, Seel'vor's classic 'Lily versus Ginny' story, this story references Harmony (HHr) though neither one appears in the story.

The outrage over having the Quidditch season cancelled was muted too quickly in canon. A fourth year Gryffindor witch decides that someone needs to do something to rescue her best friend from impending disaster, and she has just the tool to fix both problems.

It's Halloween and Harry Potter has a task more daunting than facing down a troll after two months in school, tracking down Hermione Granger when she's trying not to be found. While not a complete crossover, the story does reference the works of Charles Schultz with all do consideration to both his memory and the world of JK Rowling. And no bashing was intended or accomplished.

Everything that ever went wrong in Vernon Dursley's life was the fault of those freaks. Especially The Freak, his nephew. But finally, Vernon will have some peace. Won't he?

This is an AU look at what might have happened the day after the Twins left the school during OOTP if Umbridge had had a reason to question Hermione as she did Harry. Since wizards don't understand anything about the internet, or computers or gamergirls, it's a classic example of what you don't know can hurt you. Rated T for ... well just because. AU Harmony. H/Hr

It's Valentine's Day at Hogwarts. Head Girl Granger and Head Boy Potter are finding their schedules are impossibly full. Good thing Hermione convinced the Headmistress that the one thing Muggle Studies needs is an intern program, so she can get a Personal Assistant of her own to run interference in case there's a case of Red Tide. Rated T for inuendo

It's the afternoon after the Battle of Hogwarts and people's priorities in getting things back on track come into conflict. The new Minister and the Ministry have their priorities, Harry and Hermione have theirs. EWE? Compliant. My apologies if anyone is offended by the joke at the end of the story. They really need a genre category for 'snark'. If this has been done before

Harry and Hermione have set out for Godric's Hollow, only to discover it's Christmas Eve. What might have happened if they'd discovered a bit more that silent night. A bit OOC since Harry stops and thinks about exactly how much Hermione has given up for him over the years. My apologies for the formatting of the epitaphs, couldn't make that work once it was uploaded.

Hermione's late for work and a minor problem with the floo network adds to her problems.

Disaster has struck. Evil has triumphed. And only Luna sees the impending apocalypse. Well, Luna and several thousand of her closest online friends. Set in the same 'Luna gamergirl' world as Luna's Road Trip. Rated T for convention references. The second chapter is set within NCSoft's 'City of Heroes' and involves Luna and several persons from that world, which is now gone.

A witch's 17th birthday is a day of some importance. A milestone. And Hedwig has decided that Hermione Jane Granger needs a slight push in the right direction to get her off the path she's taking. And if there's one thing a flying predator knows, it's shock and awe. Rated T for language.

Getting through the Snape's hazard at the end of first year showed that wizards didn't have much in the way of logic. A much cooler Sphinx in the Third Task of the TriWizard Tournament could have made for a much different experience for some. Not to be taken seriously, this is definitely AU and more than a bit OOC. But the Sphinx is cool. Luna said so.

MIx one gaming convention, a bit of cosplay, and Luna Lovegood and what do you get? An international incident of course. Which, Harry and Hemrione have to sort out. And just who ordered these zombies?

It's the summer of 2000 and mysterious things are happening. Artifacts stolen from a castle in Scotland, Ron's gone house shopping, and the Indians are in first place in the Wild Card race. Oh, and a mysterious cult is trying to kill Hermione. HHr

While the afterlife is supposed to be beyond the petty concerns of mortal life, sometimes events carry over. Rating for mention of sensitive subjects/concepts.

Every wonder exactly how long Albus would have waited for Harry at King's Cross at the end of Deadly Hallows? A small bit of fluff asking the eternal question "If Death had an alias, what would it be?". Lunar Harmony H/Hr/L at the end

Luna decides it's time to clear the air with Lucius Malfoy. And nothing does that like a cupcake. Written for Mopcat's Cupcake Challenge. Same world as 9th Day. Implied H/Hr/L. Absolutely no relationship between Luna and Lucius

It's the fall of 1998, after the Final Battle, and the Golden Trio has returned to Hogwarts. And it's just like old times, almost. Luna decides that something needs to be done before they do a rerun on Harry&Hermione's 6th year. HHr. Chapters 4,6,7 edits
