Summary
The year is 1991. Regulus Black, an orphan apparently uncannily similar to the father he never knew, has been raised alone at 12 Grimmauld Place. He has two friends from two different worlds: Regulus' cousin, Draco Malfoy, and James Finley, the muggle boy with hazel eyes and incorrigible bravery who lives down the road and is the only reason Regulus has seen the world that exists outside of stifling pureblood society.
James, like Regulus, never knew his true parents. James, like Regulus, has strangely vivid dreams that sometimes seem as if they're trying to tell him something. And when his eleventh summer rolls around, it's revealed that James, like Regulus, is magic after all, and bound for Hogwarts come September.
Regulus knows he should be excited to have his friend join him at Hogwarts. Instead, he's frantic with the sense that magic will be James' undoing. And as he and James progress through their first year at Hogwarts, the magical world seems hellbent on proving Regulus right.

Summary
“This is actually a much better outcome, wouldn’t you say?”
Oliver glanced back at Flint. It took him a moment to catch up. “What, me being in football as well instead of some random bloke?”
“Exactly,” Flint sat up, and all of a sudden they were closer. “You‘d gain nothing from outing me to the tabloids, because it‘d ruin you, too.”

Or: The one where Oliver Wood is the perpetually-on-loan reserve goalie for Manchester United, Marcus Flint is Manchester City's million-pound golden boy and they somehow meet over Grindr. It's football, shagging and six years of pining.

Summary
Pansy Parkinson’s plan for repairing her reputation has everything to do with earning her place in wizarding society and nothing to do with finding a man. But when the pursuit of those goals leads to Neville Longbottom and his fascinating plant collection, she questions the need to choose. While summer seethes with cross-pollination between Pansy’s wants and needs, rot threatens as autumn rises: a sickness that can kill, with a cure that can only come from the heart.
