Summary
Ten years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Ivy Wilde returns to the castle as its new Potions Mistress, a brilliant brewer and former Ravenclaw with secrets folded deep into her past. The war left scars on the magical world and deeper ones on her heart, but the dungeons feel familiar, almost like home.
What she doesn't expect is to find a portrait tucked behind old shelves in the potions classroom, one painted not long before the final battle. A portrait of Severus Snape.
He watches her. His eyes follow her through late-night brewing sessions, through quiet meals taken alone. Slowly, an unspoken connection forms, one that stirs memories Ivy has tried for a decade to bury.
And the thing about magic is that it doesn’t always obey the rules of time.
As the lines between past and present begin to blur, Ivy must decide how far she’s willing to go for the man history forgot to mourn.

Summary
Some stories begin with letters that never arrive. With names erased from history. With a boy marked by prophecy and a girl whose magic thrums with ancient power.
This one begins with a squib who never stopped watching, a mother who never stopped scheming, and a bond that dares to rewrite the future.
A retelling of canon—rewoven from bloodlines, buried magic, and the quiet defiance of two women who refuse to let the future be written without them.
POVs: Helen Granger, Narcissa Malfoy, (and when they’re old enough) Hermione and Draco.
Our story begins in the Spring of 1981…

Summary
Seven years of suffering in the cupboard under the stairs infuse magic and pain into the walls, the cot, even the air itself. A crying Harry Potter unknowingly taps into his Peverell family magic and moulds his sorrows into a brand new friend. His dementor keeps him warm in its robes, keeps people away from him and listens to everything he has to say. And no one but Harry can even see it! He's never been as happy.
Until, one day, the dementor gives a gift to its maker that changes everything Harry has ever known. Whisked away from Privet Drive and surrounded by wizards and witches, Harry and his dementor-turned-familiar must work together to see through the many plots they've been ensnared in.
And who is the man who seems to live in Harry's head? And why is his new pet bunny such a dramaqueen?

Summary
Draco came to Mysteries at twenty-two with the hope that he would finally be useful. That perhaps, with three years at a Muggle university and an undergraduate degree in physics under his belt, he would find his place. He wasn’t wrong, in the end, but it took time to find Time.

Summary
As far as Harry is concerned, Voldemort's death should've resolved everything. But there's a lot of strangeness still afoot -- and it isn't the Death Eaters. It's McGonagall. It's Dumbledore's estate making mysterious payments to unknown persons. The threat is gone, but the beehive is still buzzing. Why?
Harry goes to Snape's portrait for answers, and Snape is more than willing to give him a peek into Pandora's box.

Summary
Harry found a nearly-done magical painting of the late Regulus Black while sifting through Grimmauld Place and decided to finish it and have the opportunity to speak to him.
"The young man in the portrait looked young enough to still be in Hogwarts, with his cropped black hair and sharp jawline. It took an embarrassing amount of time studying the painting for Harry to figure out who this was supposed to be. Regulus Black. Of course."

Summary
When the Grim arrived at Malfoy Manor, Draco knew he didn’t have much time left.
It was really quite inconsiderate of it, to only appear after the war was over. Draco had thought he was free to trudge about the Manor in gloomy isolation, feeding the thestral herd and staring glumly at yet another cucumber-and-cheese sandwich. Even the portraits had fled.
Now, though, with a portent of doom skulking at his heels, Draco has found that perhaps a deadline was just the thing he needed to feel alive again.

Summary
The war had ended and Sirius finds himself washed ashore in a world he was not ready for.
He was not ready for the war to be over- it had hardly just begun when he had fallen through the Veil.
He was not ready for his friends to be gone, died in battles he had never fought.
He was not ready for Snape to be seen as a hero, posthumously, in his godson's eyes.
But suspicions exist that Snape had not died in the war. Sent on the task to bring him back to face trial, Sirius relishes the opportunity to finally have focus- a mission of his own: bringing Snape to face justice for all his war time crimes.
There was no other reason for Sirius to be hunting Snape.
No other reason at all.

Summary
Sirius ignored the latter half of the boy’s complaint. “Isn’t there some part of you, then, that thinks that the wizarding public does deserve financial reparation?” he asked, leaning forward over the table and raising his eyebrows candidly, like Draco could tell him anything.
“No, there isn’t,” Draco said, flat and cold. “This is the unhinged vengeance of a Ministry that couldn’t imprison me. I deserve financial reparation for this absurd injustice,” he insisted, taking a smug sip of his tea. Sirius couldn’t help but grin.
“And who exactly is going to give you their money, Draco?” he asked curiously.
Draco sighed, rolling his eyes. “You are, duh.”
~
Prompt: The Malfoys lose their inheritance after the war, and Sirius finds himself looking after Draco financially. Draco spends Sirius’ money as if it’s his own (they’re both Blacks after all). To Sirius’ horror, he derives pleasure from Draco draining his gold, and even gets off to the younger boy’s financial dominance over him.
