The Gryffindor common room was emptying quickly but that was more than fine by Cat.  She eyed her prey over her Runes book, tense and waiting.  “Move, bloody move!” she growled under her breath.

Almost, her prey was almost -

Seizing her moment she pounced.  Closing her book with a snap, she darted forward and finally seized control of her ( Read more... )

“Harry!”

“I’m in the kitchen!”

Hermione came running into the kitchen from the door in time to watch Harry kick the stove he’d been bemoaning since their move six months earlier.  “Stupid bloody piece of shi - hi, love!” Harry turned with such a guilty look Hermione almost reached out and kissed him.

“Harry, the love ( Read more... )

Sirius sighed with disgust and sat back in his chair with a huff throwing his Quidditch magazine on his desk.  He crossed his arms over his chest and scowled.

“Easy there, mate.  Are you trying to set your desk on fire?” James asked, lounging negligently in a comfy chair that twisted and tilted.  He had one leg draped over the arm while he ( Read more... )

“And then, when the teenagers opened the door, they found a hook hanging off the handle!” Hermione finished with a menacing, hurried crescendo that sounded a bit louder under the sheet they were sitting under.

Harry didn’t look impressed or scared.  Instead he quirked an eyebrow and pursed his lips.  “That’s it?”

Hermione sighed and dropped the ( Read more... )

“Prongs!  Prongs!  James!  What’re you doing?!” Remus hissed watching his friend step up on the bench then onto the table.

“LILY EVANS!” James bellowed, his voice reverberating in the Great Hall.  It was dinner time and the benches were packed and now suddenly silent.

The red head snapped her neck around from where she sat down the table and ( Read more... )

I'm thinking about starting up a new LJ and moving all my fics over there so they'd be in one easily accessible spot, but I've been hesitant to do so.  It seems so pretentious to me, like "Oh my fics are so great that they deserve their own LJ" when it has nothing to do with that and everything with easy accessability for myself and readers.  Other ( Read more... )

Hermione woke slowly, languidly stretched out next to Harry.  She reached across his chest during her stretch and sighed, snuggling into his shoulder.  She could get very used to this, if she wasn’t already.  Harry sighed against her cheek and turned his head toward her mumbling something about Ron eating all the cheese and croutons.

Hermione woke on a beautiful Monday morning, excited to face the day and all the challenges that went with it like the Arithmancy test that morning, keeping Harry alive, the Charms quiz, and pissing off Ron (which really wasn’t much of a challenge, but seeing how far she could push it before Harry started mediating was).  And it was the first “ ( Read more... )

When Harry woke he felt like Crookshanks had curled up in a little ball, and decided to take a cat nap in his mouth.  But he felt warm and at that point that seemed to be all that really mattered.
