Snape's respect for the island had increased just the tiniest of bits whenever he woke up to the surroundings being completely transformed. It was London, and though it was not the London he knew best, it still felt very nearly like home, with its strange fashions and cobblestones and little ramshackle shops. It wasn't Hogwarts, and it wasn't ( Read more... )

It's not even Chris's idea this time. It's Tony that comes to him, saying that there ought to be another party. And seeing as it's been months and months since Maxxie's birthday, Chris is all for it, even if it's not like they can go and just find a cave like last time. The island's bolloxed that all up by turning into fuckin' London ( Read more... )

One week ago, Harry and Ron had met Tony Stark and had come to an agreement ( Read more... )

Now felt like a good time to drift off back to sleep. He was warm. He was still tired. He had Kate close to him.

Only there was the fact that he was naked rearing its head again.

Suddenly he propped himself up again, a frown creasing his brow. "Er, so, this.. might be a strange question. But did-- do-- why do I not have clothes?" ( Read more... )

This shit was magicalIt was the weirdest super power Kate had ever heard of -- even weirder than the shit Princess Valhalla Hawkwind could do -- but it was all kinds of awesome as well. Being able to grow her hair had been pretty cool to start with and she'd spent the better part of yesterday doing just that after discovering that she could. All ( Read more... )

As if it wasn't bad enough that Snape was here, surrounded by terrible people and terrible roommates and terrible reminders of all that he'd left behind ( Read more... )
