Interhouse Ravenclaw Recs
Ravenclaw certainly did well for itself in the interhouse_fest 2011. Not only Luna, but Cho, Anthony, Padma, Michael, Professor Flitwick, and even the House Founder herself, Rowena Ravenclaw, found themselves in starring roles in various art and fics.
Title: Starving hysterical naked

Characters: Rowena Ravenclaw, Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin
Prompt number: 239

Artist’s Notes: To my prompter, I’m sorry I didn’t use your suggested pairings, but this prompt just screamed founders to me; I hope you like it anyway. I imagine the quote as something Helga might’ve said as she watched her friends’ relationships deteriorate over time. I also imagine that afterwards, she’s left alone as the sole Headmistress of Hogwarts. The cause of this scene could be sexual or not, it’s really up to viewer interpretation; I won’t tell you what I think. :) Enjoy!
Title: Like Invisible Strings
Author/Artist:
and_backagain
Characters: Harry/Luna, some canon-level Ron/Hermione
Prompt number: 101
Word Count: 4,970
Rating: PG
Warnings: None!
Summary: The next night, unpacking his trunk, he discovers that he's forgotten his spare set of quills, his last bag of Chocolate Frogs, and his Transfiguration book. Wrapped in a pair of his old socks, though, is the mirror, which Harry had snatched down from the window the moment he'd seen Dumbledore arrive. A Harry&Luna take on Book 6, in which Luna gives Harry a gift, Harry spends quite a lot of time determinedly not thinking about one thing or another, and Hermione despairs of his common sense.
Disclaimer: Harry Potter does not belong to me, nor does anything or anyone you recognize from it. A few of the lines of dialogue in this fic are taken directly from Half-Blood Prince, and those also (perhaps even especially!) do not belong to me. The title of this fic, incidentally, also does not belong to me, and was taken from a song on The Muppets called "I'm Going To Go Back There Someday."
Title: A War of Words (1/2)

Prompt number: #9

Rating: PG-13
Warnings: language, implied M/M and F/F relationships
Summary: The members of Dumbledore’s Army spent two weeks hiding in the Room of Requirement before Harry arrived. These are their stories, as told by their own notes and letters.
Disclaimer: The world belongs to Rowling; I just play in it.
Author’s Notes: The idea for this story came from the brilliant novel Feeling Sorry for Celia by Jaclyn Moriarty, and my over-zealous muse originally envisioned grand plans to turn all the notes and letters into images. But then I realized the story was over 12,000 words and my brain exploded. But I want to hugely thank M, who provided me with swift and excellent beta work when plans changed; all remaining errors are my own. And all the respect, admiration and love in the world to
fiery_flamingo and
leigh_adams, who were patient beyond words with me despite the mad extensions and plan changes. Best. Mods. Ever.

Author’s Notes: The original prompt was this: in their sixth year, they find themselves hiding together from the Carrows (would love to see Ginny break down and Luna comfort her). In the spirit of this Fest, I wanted to present characters from all four houses, assuming that the Carrows were Slytherins. Then the questions remained: What would Luna find comforting? How would she share it with Ginny? Beta readers are gloriously generous people… I wish we were allowed to thank them here by name! (Thanks all the same.)
