Summary: They’d all been forced to grow up too fast, too soon. Wartime AU.
Warnings: Minor character death (offscreen), some profanity
Author’s Notes: Written for round 4 of dramione_remix to the prompt of Peter Pan/Wendy. Again and again, I have to thank my betas for their unwavering support. Without callarose, dormiensa, and unseen1969, this story wouldn’t be half of what it is now.

Summary: Hermione’s friends want to know why she hasn’t told them about her impending date.

Author’s Notes: Written for round 4 of the dramione_remix, with Amy and Rory (Doctor Who) as the prompt. Huge, huge thanks to my betas callarose, dormiensa, and the late breaking unseen1969 for their wonderful feedback and support. Also, if you’re unfamiliar with Doctor Who or Amy and Rory’s storyline within the show, fear not! This remix is based around a quote from their arc.

Summary: There’s really something about seeing people you love in this extreme state of happiness. Dare she call it nirvana? For their sake, she truly hopes it is. Merlin knows, they deserve it.
Disclaimer: Anything recognizable isn’t mine. I’m merely borrowing these fascinating characters from the unofficial queen, JK Rowling. No copyright infringement intended. No profits are being or will ever be made of this work.
Author’s Notes: Written for the 2012 round at interhouse_fest. Thanks to school for being such a jerk and getting in the way of writing (not). Thanks to betas inadaze22 and callarose, as well. You helped salvage me when I was drowning in this thing.

Note: The first half (prologue and parts 1 and 2) were written for the first round of dramione_remix, but I unfortunately couldn't finish the story in time. So, here it is -- published outside of the fest. 


PART ONE

Year 5, Day 271, Hour 06:45

A ticking next to his head startles Draco from his sleep.

He grunts as his body protests the interruption, although they each know it’s futile at this point. Once he’s awake, he’s awake for good—especially with the sun shining so brightly through the window. Usually he can sleep through the light, and at times through the buzzing alarm set on the wand under his pillow, but that’s contingent upon his face not being exposed to the blaring sun rays. Today is no such day.


( He gazes down at his chest, blinking to focus his eyesight, and grabs the arm that's lying across him.Collapse )

Written for Round 3 of hp_humpdrabbles' Hump Madness.

“Lily Luna.”

She bristles. If there’s one thing Lily Luna Potter hates, it’s having two first names. And he knows it. They’d done enough patrols together the one year they were both Prefects to have learned how to press almost every button.
