A Collar for Hermione

Hermione held her father's arm tightly as they walked down the aisle. Gerald Grangers legs were shaking with each step, but the stubborn man had insisted on walking. Her mother was waiting nearby with his wheelchair once they got to the end. The concern she had for her father was diminished when she looked up to Harry. The love in his eyes pushed away everything. She had insisted that he leave his hair as it was, years later looking at wedding photos where would be odd to see it all slick and...

Dogsitting

Sirius grumbled as Dumbledore left. He didn't need a babysitter. Especially not some Order member who was all too happy to tattle at the first sign of anything. He appreciated Dumbledore, and the Order, really. Back before… everything, he had gladly signed up. Of course, he hadn't been much more than a stupid kid at the time.

Now, after spending year locked up with nothing but Death Eaters and Dementors as company, he knew they needed to be more proactive. Sure, they couldn't go out b...

A Spider in Gotham Chapter 3

Peter woke up with a jolt. The sound of a baby crying sent his instincts into overdrive. He sprang out of bed, slightly off kilter as the distance was more than he expected. His mind cleared as he swung on his feet. The baby crying was a few beds over. Angry grumbles and some cursing came from all around him.

A wave of memories hit. May, the other Peters, the Goblin, and the spell. His chest was tight. Deep, bone arching sorrow crushed him. He wanted to cry, to scream, anything. This wa...

Second Chance at the Slug Club

Harry grumbled under his breath. He couldn't turn down the invitation. Doing so would undo whatever groundwork for the plan Dumbledore had. Unfortunately, that meant hanging around Slughorn much, much more than he had ever wanted. There was something about the old man. Oily, that was the word. Like being too close to him meant you'd come away sullied. It wasn't anything overtly evil, just incredibly uncomfortable.

He needed a date. As much as he would have liked, Hermione was not an opt...

Play Date - Fleur Part 2

Fleur had been right. The kids had a sixth sense regarding them getting alone time. Three days. It had been three days. Harry couldn't be mad at the kids. Teddy had a nightmare and needed some extra cuddles. Victorie took a tumble, scratching up her chin. Healing it was easy, but she was traumatized which meant she had to stay close for comfort.

Harry hoped that she didn't regret what had happened. They shared a few longing looks and shy smiles, but there wasn't enough privacy for anyth...

Broom Closet Encounters - Unexpected Partner

Harry walked around the hallway a few times. He made a circuit, making sure no one was around. This year has been horrible. Getting caught trying to sneak in a known hook-up location would only make things worse. He was pretty sure that the prefects that were loyal to Umbridge still held this place sacred. The Broom Closet had been a long-standing tradition that hopefully would outlast all of this nonsense. It went beyond House Pride or personal loyalties.

He fought the urge to check th...

A Spider in Gotham Chapter 2

Peter packed everything back into the bag. He wrapped it tightly, so it fit in his pocket before he hopped off the side of the building.

"This place has seen better days." Peter whispered as he scanned the multiple empty storefronts as he walked.

He hadn't seen so much as a single patrol car. That, coupled with the clerk having a shotgun within reach, made him think this wasn't a place that was safe during the day, let alone after dark.

It was just now sunset, and the street...

Broom Closet Poll #2

Regarding the ladies in the same year as Harry. Who should be the guy involved?

Please add any further details/suggestions in the comments.

A Spider in Gotham

Peter watched the older alternate versions of himself. A golden glow surrounded them both. He raised his hand in a wave. The world around him shifted, changing from the foot of the statue of liberty to some sort of alley. It was warmer than it had been a few moments ago and the sun hadn't set yet.

His suit was gone. He was wearing a Mid-Town T-Shirt, a pair of jeans, and, luckily, a pair of thin converse knockoffs. The alley didn't have any answers. He hopped up to a fire escape before ...

Broom Closet Encounters - Halloween Special

What most people, even among the magical world, don't realize is how much a location can absorb magic. Hogwarts, for example, has held many generations of growing witches and wizards in its halls. This has resulted in the place being saturated with magical essence. Shifting stairs, magical rooms, and hidden little enchantments that had taken on a life of their own.

Other places, such as ancestral homes, experienced such a thing as well. Usually, to a lesser extent. Most of the time, the...

Wild Magic Chapter 22

Harry leaned back in his seat. He had to take muggle transportation to the train station just to be safe. Returning to Hogwarts had been in the back of his mind. Now that it was here, he was a nervous wreck. He tried to tell himself that things were going to be fine. Tonks would be there to help, and Hermione had been eager to join in as well.

There was the option of other girls as well. He wanted to avoid Ginny though. That would make things more complicated than he wanted. Rumor had i...

Somewhere Safe Chapter 11

"This is the Gryffindor common room." Rose said as they stepped out of the passage.

Harry nodded. Lily and James had left as they got closer to the tower. Iris split off a few minutes later to back the Badgers Den.

"But… you already know that." She blushed.

"It's ok." Harry gave her a small smile. "It's been a long day."

He looked around the room. There were quite a few more students than he expected. It was Sunday afternoon, practically evening, and that usually mea...

Wild Magic Chapter 21

Harry looked down at the watch. It was solid yellow now. He needed to deal with it before he went to sleep. Only Tonks was in an Order meeting and Hermione had just left him. He wasn't sure if he could just chase her down.

He hadn't tried taking care of things himself. Harry hurried upstairs to his room. The door closed on its own. He pulled off his shirt as he walked, tossing it to the side, then he kicked off his shoes and socks. By the time he made it to his bed he was down to his bo...

Somewhere Safe Chapter 10

Hagrid waited outside by the corral. His cabin had been replaced by an actual house. Harry smiled seeing Fang lazing in front of the door.

The half-giant, like the others, looked almost completely different than his counterpart. Hagrid's beard was still bushy, but it was expertly woven into thick braids. He wore an outfit that reminded Harry of an old explorer, sans a pith helmet.

"Mister Potter." Hagrid nodded. "Please follow me."

Harry recognized the hippogriff waiting nea...

Updated Post Schedule

Starting this week chapters are going to be released on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 12 pm EST.

That way you know when a new chapter will be out.

American Escape Chapter 11

The trip to town was a disaster. Sabrina was extra careful not to get anywhere near Harry. Conversation was stilted and forced. Having been to the coffee shop slash bookstore already there wasn't much more to the town. Roz reminded him a bit too much of Hermione. The other girl, he couldn't even remember her name.

Harry was practically giddy when they made it back to the house. He waved to Harvey then went straight to the car. Honestly, he didn't care if it looked strange. He needed som...

What Story Brought You Here

I'm curious.

Somewhere Safe Chapter 9

"It's ok to be nervous." James walked beside Harry.

"You're going to do fine." Lily said from his other side.

"Thanks." Harry gave them a shaky smile.

Today was the day. He would be meeting with the staff for assessment. It was going to be an all-day event as well. They were going to test him on all of the available subjects. He was excited but overwhelmed. More than a few classes he either hadn't taken, or wasn't confident in.

"There will be a break for lunch and dinn...

Let's Try That Again Chapter 60

Contrary to all of his big talk, he couldn't stand to look at Hermione. Sex with her was like an alcoholic having a drink. It helped that she was avoiding him at all costs as well. Flashes of their encounter sparked long bouts of delving into obscured memories. They weren't whole, moments and feelings more than anything.

The best thing he could do was focus on this life. Dealing with Dumbledore was on the horizon, though he didn't know when, and there was still the tournament to finish....

Broom Closet Encounters - In Another Hallway

It was getting close to the full moon. There was still a little over a week, but Remus was already feeling the effects. He didn't talk about all of the things his body went through. His friends, while supportive, just couldn't relate.

Remus had never told anyone. The first sign of the approaching moon was his libido. He got really, really horny. It was one of the reasons he always distanced himself from others. His senses were already heightened, this close to the full moon and they wen...

No clue why the old invite didn't work. Let me know if this has any issues.

Somewhere Safe Chapter 8

Harry heard Sirius and his parents. No, that didn't feel right just yet. James and Lily. He could hear them talking in the other room. Harry had stayed in his room under the pretense of settling in. They didn't press. He wasn't going to unpack since he was going back to Hogwarts on Monday. There wasn't anything he could do to decorate either.

He just sat on his bed, staring at the closed door. The words were jumbled. Only the sound of their voices made it through. He kept telling himsel...

Wild Magic Chapter 20

Dinner passed without issue. There wasn't an Order meeting, so things were rather dull. Harry went to bed. When he woke up Tonks had joined him at some point in the night. His watch was still green, which he had mixed feelings about. He would have loved to start the day with another stroke from Tonks.

Hermione had been acting weird since they had hooked up. Harry was too, but he didn't want to admit it. She hadn't said anything about them possibly dating, or doing it again, so he just l...

Somewhere Safe Chapter 7

Muggle Nibbles didn't look anything different from the other buildings in Diagon Alley. At least until they stepped inside. Harry had only seen fast food places in passing. It looked a mixture of ones he had seen. True to what the twins and James had said, they had pizza.

The shopping trip was surprisingly pleasant. He got a fresh set of clothes, a few variations on the uniform he already wore and a nice selection of casual clothing, a pair of new glasses that actually fit him, as well ...

Broom Closet Encounters

James Potter was not nervous. He had been with a few girls. Okay, he'd snogged a couple and felt up one. He had also gotten a quick stroke while on vacation in France, but he didn't want to think about that one. Cousins were fine for Purebloods. That's what he told himself anyway. The Potters weren't 'that kind' of Pureblood, but that wasn't the point.

This was the year he was going to get Lily Evans to go on a date with him. He was sure of it, and he couldn't make it look like he was s...

Somewhere Safe Chapter 6

Harry stumbled out of the fireplace, he skidded to a stop just before faceplanting. He looked around to see that Lily was smiling warmly at him. When he straightened up, he noticed there was a pile of pillows near where he had stopped.

Sirius hadn't joined them this time. He had business he had to handle elsewhere but made a promise to visit again soon.

"I don't understand." Lily shook her head. "You and the girls practically dance with the wind on brooms."

"Lily is the only...
