[slumber]

Title: we are not shining stars
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Susan Bones, Ernie Macmillan, Zacharias Smith, Hannah Abbott, Megan Jones, Justin Finch-Fletchley
Rating: PG
Word Count: 2344
Summary: This was not how their last year at Hogwarts was supposed to go.
Additional Notes: Title taken from fun.'s Carry On, which could be a Hufflepuff anthem. Thanks go to ccharlotte for letting me email her bits and pieces of this before this was done, intrepidy for the beta, and Hufflepuffs for generally being brilliant. Originally written for hogwarts_houses and posted here.

( It is only the first week of the new term and Susan thinks they must have been right, must have known what was going to happen. Dumbledore is dead and Hogwarts, she hears, is surrounded by Death Eaters and Dementors. )

Title: Lady Luck
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Cormac McLaggen, Katie Bell, various others
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2304
Summary: His heart's in the right place. It's just his execution that leaves a lot to be desired.
Additional Notes: Do you ever get those days when you sit down to write one story and something else pops out? Yeah, that was this. Huge thanks to ccharlotte, always, and thegrownupthing for the beta. Thanks to iulia_linnea for giving me an outlet to explore my Cormac feels and, of course, for organizing one of my favorite fests ever. Originally written for hogwarts_houses and posted here.

( Cormac is five the first time a girl clocks him in the head. )

thank you for mentioning me :) I had obviously already read the second fic, so I clicked on the first and I really, really loved it!! Trying to find something constructive to say, but it's hard. I liked the sense of "family" in the group of Puffs that shone through and how they were all there for each other even when they didn't agree all the time. It was really gripping and I could visualise all the scenes so well. ♥
