delphi, [2] kellychambliss, and [3] delphipsmith.
purplefluffycat wrote The Dressing Room: A play in Three Acts, with a Chorus. Characters: Madam Malkin, Minerva McGonagall/Hermione Granger, Arthur Weasley, Horace Slughorn/Filius Flitwick.

Rating: Suitable for that patron who only reads the pink romances (not the red ones, and certainly not the ones with a half-clad werewolf on the front). Summary: Selected correspondence from the Hogwarts Archives, in the form of personal letters between Librarian Irma Pince and a schoolfriend she refers to only as 'M'. These extracts span the years Pince spent training at the National Library of Magic, and are a window into the lives of two young witches in the mid 20th century. (HA 144/5 .k17 1961-1964 passim). It was recced by: [1] lash-larue, [2] squibstress, [3] cabepfir, and [4] kellychambliss.

squibstress wrote Within a Forest Dark. Characters: Severus Snape/Minerva McGonagall. Wordcount: 9725. Rating: Soft R. Summary: Severus expects his journey at Hogwarts to be dark and lonely. He’s right. Mostly. It was recced by: [1] paulamcg, [2] cabepfir, [3] kellychambliss, [4] pyttan.
Lash_Larue wrote A Material Girl. Characters: Malkin, Ollivander, Kettleburn, Moody, Bones, various OC's. Wordcount: 7268. Rating: G. Summary: Araminta Malkin had a dream, and was willing to work for it. It was recced by: [1] minervas-eule, and [2] pyttan.
Therealsnape wrote The Unofficial Minutes of the Hogwarts Knitting Society. Characters: Irma Pince with a supporting cast of Hogwarts Staff Members. Also, the owner of a knitting shop. Wordcount: 14K. Rating: G. Summary: When Gilderoy Lockhart announces his plan for motivational lectures that will bring the fun back into teaching, his colleagues have to do something. But who would have thought it would involve needles and yarn? It was recced by: [1] lash-larue, [2] themightyflynn, [3] squibstress, [4] cabepfir, [5] minervas-eule, [6] pyttan.

Cleodoxa wrote Sybill is Trying. Characters: Sybill Trelawney and the other teachers. Rating: G. Wordcount: 3600. Summary: Sybill is feeling more confident as the school prepares to reopen after the Battle of Hogwarts, which is nice for her though whether it really makes her less irritating is for her colleagues to judge. A turn of events requires the teachers to decide whether they really want to carry on just as before. It was recced by: [1] squibstress, [2] kellychambliss, and [3] pyttan.
Milotzi wrote Death and Love and Other Yuledies Mysteries: A Hogwarts Castle Story. Characters: Minerva McGonagall and an assorted cast of Hogwarts staff and friends. Wordcount: 7244. Rating: G.
