    Summary

    Ever since her light magic appeared, Maria Campbell has been a bit of an outcast in her village. One day, however, she bumps into a strange girl claiming to be a merchant's daughter, and that all changes....

    AKA a story where Katarina decides the best way to avoid her doom is to befriend the heroine as soon as she gets her memories back. And, of course, she entirely fails to mention who she really is, right up until the end.

    Two-shot

    Summary

    Argus' life was a largely thankless one (unless you counted the thanks of the paintings he maintained), working on keeping a thousand year old castle from falling down around the ears of students who didn't care. He had his cat, his work, his books, and a constant boil of self hatred and resentment to get him by.

    And then a sixth year handed him a letter from her aunt, thanking him for acting as conservator of Hogwarts and calling him Dr. Filch. It was the first time he had been called Doctor since he started at the castle. He had little choice but to write back, after that.

    Summary

    No matter what Katarina does, she only seems to bring herself closer to Maria in ways she hadn't anticipated. But could it be because without the pretense of being the game's villain, Katrina may otherwise have a different relationship with the main character?

    Summary

    After the fact, some argue when exactly the War of Blood officially started. Some think it was when the first unjust law was passed. Some say it’s the day James officially called it a war. Hermione always thought it was that day, the day that sides were drawn. The day she was forced to make a statement.

    She’s in her office when Neville slips in, a grim frown in place. “What’s wrong?” Hermione asks, worry chilling her in place.

    “Read this.” Neville passes a newspaper to her, sitting down.

     

    Narcissa Black defiles beloved war hero.

     

    Hermione’s head snaps up but Neville isn’t making eye contact. “Neville, what the fuck?”
