Getting Lost on Purpose [Dudley Dursley/Pansy Parkinson | T | 1.4k] by @flagsfiend
Pansy hated her current life; a pariah in the wizarding world, she spent her days masquerading as a muggle and her nights seeking to forget. Can a single night with an unlikely connection to her past change her future?
Of Fright, Cold, and Cruel Memories [Sirius Black & Kingsley Shacklebolt | M | 1.5k] by MidnightStargazer
The house is haunted. That much was obvious from day one. But as for the story behind how the ghost came to be there...
Be careful.
There are some mysteries better left unsolved. The truth about this one just might break your heart.
Evermore [James Potter/Severus Snape | M | 1.3k] by greenmegsnoham
From the top of his high tower, Severus reflects upon his dark and painful past.
Strength to Love [Remus Lupin & Lucius Malfoy | M | 1.4k] by Sanichka
Lucius Malfoy deserves a swift kick to his head. Really, he deserves much, MUCH worse. What will Remus Lupin do when he finds himself in a position to deliver all of the karma Lucius Malfoy deserves?
on the violence of daylight [Hermione Granger/Tom Riddle | E | 2k] by venomousbarbie
The affair lasts a year before daylight kills it.
Something Just Out of Sight [Dudley Dursley/Draco Malfoy | T | 895] by EliseDonut
Being forced to live in the muggle world for a year was already an annoyance. Feeling like he needs to watch his back around every corner just made everything worse.
The Rusted and the Rain [Igor Karkaroff & Voldemort | M | 1.3k] by aCanadianMuggle
Igor Karkaroff thought he could run far enough away - but no where is far enough from Voldemort.
Darkness, Silence and Solitude Never Come Alone [Gen | T | 1.5k] by Elvira_Kamgut
Could the incident by the Shrieking Shack really be called a "prank"?
Not Worth It [Lily Evans Potter/Tom Riddle | Voldemort | M | 1.9k] by beanclip
“Sev, I can get you and your… friends… into headquarters. We’re meeting tonight at seven. I don't care what you do when you get here, I only ask that you make him pay.”
Lily closed her eyes, and her patronus trotted away.
For the A Touch of Black Rare Pairs Flash Fic Fest, with the prompt: "Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody."
bitter/sweet [Bellatrix Black Lestrange/Tom Riddle | M | 1.9k] by GimletSour

Kill It With Fiendfyre [Cho Chang/Ginny Weasley | T | 1.9k] by AlihotsyTotsy
Ginny and Cho enjoy a relaxing weekend away.
The Geometry of Darkness [Aurora Sinistra/Emmeline Vance | ? | 2k] by Blackbutterfly207
She tried to define its outlines. Blurred and shifting, they always eluded her approach. Her hands and eyes weren't enough. There had to be laws, though. Astronomy had them. So did arithmancy.
She knew it, one day she'd lay her hand on a book, and that book would be titled “The Geometry of Darkness.”
She never thought she'd help her with the writing. And now, alone again, it felt like the ultimate cruelty after such a revelation.
Like every time [Helena Ravenclaw | The Grey Lady/Salazar Slytherin | E | 1.9k] by MitsukiSirya
Helena swallows, feels her heart pounding in her ears. She trembles, slightly. She nods because that is all she can do.
"No" Salazar replies, dryly "You are too sweet for me, Helena" he adds, calmer, more understanding.
"But I...!"
"You are too sweet" he reiterates "You are not suited to my taste".
Helena has no intention of giving up, and perhaps Salazar can tell by the stubborn frown she has taken on, because she sighs.
"You'll regret it" he tells her "Like every time".
After Midnight [Narcissa Black Malfoy/Lily Evans Potter | M | 1.1k] by LesbianKJ
Narcissa always wanted to be freed of labels and it seemed only after dark she could be.
Resuscitate [Barty Crouch Jr./Hermione Granger | M | 1.9k] by Hawkflight
I’m not going to fix you if you break.
Desire, Delirium, Devotion; Drowned [Remus Lupin/Severus Snape | M | 2k] by p0intless_p0et
Remus Lupin walks the grounds of Hogwarts at night searching for peace, and finds the least peaceful thing possible; Severus Snape drinking beer beneath the moon growing fuller and fuller in the sky.
Honeysuckle Daydreams [Neville Longbottom/Harry Potter | T | 1.9k] by ZoomieZoomie324
"Please, Neville," Harry gasps, holding him close in a way that feels perfect and wrong. "Please, you know I love you."
Harry Potter doesn't love him. In fact, Neville thinks Harry didn't love anyone. But Neville is a desperate man, needy for the love and attention of a boy he had longed to forget. A kind boy who grew into someone who would drain the life out of him. Neville didn't care.
"I know, Harry. I love you too."
Their lips met, and it tasted like nightshade.

Stuck on probation in Granger's bookshop, magic-less and lonely, a visit from the most unusual witch leads to the opportunity to change history, if this time Draco can make seven good choices.
Part of DFW’s June 2024 Deal or No Deal challenge: Cards Against Humanity
Prompt: What will I bring back in time to convince people that I am a powerful wizard?
Deal me seven phrases to include: 10 incredible facts about the anus, A shiny rock that proves I love you, Falling into the toilet, Giant sperm from outer space, Doo-doo, Unquestioning obedience, Doing the right stuff
I began working on this last summer. Like many veteran fanfiction authors, I lament the decline in commenting that I’ve seen in my fandom, the Tolkien fandom. I’m also a humanities teacher, so I spend a good part of my day teaching young people how to write, and one lesson I’ve learned the hard way is that each type of writing involves unique skills that have to be learned. And commenting is a unique form of writing and one that comes with added stresses around social expectations and public performance. My research on the Tolkien fanfic community confirms this: Many people want to comment, but they simply don’t know what to say.
As a teacher of writing, I often use sentence starters or mentor sentences. The writer uses these to jumpstart their thinking and writing, until they become comfortable enough to begin working independently. “101 Comment Starters” is built around this research-based strategy of teaching writing.
Some of the comment starters are simple enough that they can be merely copied and pasted. Others require filling in some blanks or providing some elaboration. In some cases, a because can be dropped if the reader isn’t comfortable providing that level of elaboration yet. In other cases, a more experienced commenter can add the because and elaborate more on their comment.
They also differ in their level of praise. They range from simple statements of how the author made the reader feel to compliments around an aspect of the author’s writing or their work in general. I’ve tried to limit words like really, very, and so as much as possible, except when it made the comment feel wooden. You’re welcome, of course, to add those words in if you feel they more accurately help capture how a story impacted you.
If you’re just starting to comment, please keep in mind that the vast majority of authors will love to hear from you! They don’t care how long or elaborate your comment is. They don’t care if your English is perfect or if you’re a little awkward. They just want to know that you’re reading and enjoying their work.
Finally, please feel free to reblog and share and add your own comment starters!
ETA: I’m officially declaring these in the public domain. If you want to use them in something, while I won’t turn down credit, don’t let the inability to give me credit for them to stand in your way. Share them, make stuff with them, whatever you want to get the comments flowing!

Word Count: 2704
WIP or Complete: WIP
I have compiled here a list of every single time Draco and Hermione interacted in canon, talked about one another, or could have conceivably interacted for all your Hogwarts-era fanfic needs!
If I left anything out, please don’t hesitate to comment or DM me! There are some really obvious ones I left out e.g. the fanfic classics: prefects’ bathroom, Astronomy Tower, Black Lake, Potions lesson…
I haven’t included page numbers because every edition is different and it would be confusing. This list is intended as pinpoint references for you to check out the scene in your own books, which is why they’re not super detailed.

When Hermione's job takes her on a jaunt up Ireland's highest mountain to investigate concerns about a magical creature terrorising the locals, what she finds defies all her expectations.

Draco wants to get through his probation and avoid any further stints in Azkaban.
Hermione just wants to get through each week.
In many ways they're more similar than Draco could have ever anticipated. Something's definitely different about Granger, although what that is is as much a mystery as his new placement. Is it her who has changed or him?
As his probation conditions bring them into closer and closer contact, could loneliness become friendship, and then friendship become something more?
