    Summary

    “What?” Draco snapped when Harry was close enough to hear him through the crowd. Harry faltered slightly, his heart leaping in his chest traitorously.

    They were not soulmates.

    To prove it, the retort fell easily from Harry’s lips. “Nice robes.”

    Summary

    "There are no two sets of marks that had ever been created the same, but what he’s seeing makes no sense whatsoever. Alex knows this mark – he’d stared at it time and time again for as long as he remembers, trying to imagine what it would mean to him and to his soulmate one day – a constellation of stars interwoven with several strikingly detailed roses."

    (While doing research for a paper, Alex comes upon the story of a prince who lived over a hundred years ago - a prince who, as impossible as it is, appears to be his soulmate).

    Summary

    So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything AGAIN.

    Summary

    Near the end of their seventh year, Head Boy Draco Malfoy has the brilliant idea to host a school-wide chess tournament. Ron flings himself into it headfirst, expecting to knock a few haughty Slytherins off their pegs, impress his fellow Gryffindors, and maybe bring home the grand prize of seventy Galleons to boot.

    But factor in sharp-eyed, clever-tongued Theo Nott, who's too brilliant at chess for his own good—who can’t decide whether his legacy is more important than his freedom—and both Ron and Theo might just be getting a lot more than they bargained for.

    Summary

    This is the Dursley's time in hiding. Especially the moment the Dursleys finally find out what exactly Harry and his parents were fighting for.

    A scene where Hestia and Dedalus get fed up with Petunia's and Vernon's attitude and set them straight about the Statute of Secrecy, some wizards trying to protect muggles and Voldemort being the leader of a group that wants to make Muggle hunting legal. Vernon and Petunia get it rubbed in what a miracle it is that Harry didn't join the dead eaters after how they have treated him.

    envythenight wrote an amazing story about Dudley and what he experienced during the attack of the Dementors. But it stopped when the Dursleys went into hiding.

    I highly recommend reading Dark is the Sky first, since this is borrowing a lot from that story, but the story is canon, so you can read this on its own too.

    I expressed my wish to read how it would go on, and the wonderful envythenight encouraged me to write it myself. So here it is.
    This was planned as a one shot, but I couldn't let it go, it didn't feel finished. But now it does, that's definitely it.
