Weapon. by pink_rook

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Be a heroine and let him go, Ginevra. Even if it means to bite your lower lip to prevent yourself from saying something reckless, something too Gryffindor, too Weasley of you. Like ‘I want to fight with you’ or ‘I won’t stand in the back rows and watch you get killed by that madman’. Shut up, Ginevra. Chill. Act Hufflepuff. Try to smile.

Minerva McGonagall and the Half-Blood Prince by DailyProphetEditor

Rated: Professors •
Summary:



What do you do when the man who murdered your best friend turns up and claims to be innocent?




What do you do when you realise you slowly start trusting him again?




What do you do when you fall in love against your will – with a man half your age?





This is a McGonagall/Snape fic about trust, friendship, shame, and love. It’s canon compliant otherwise; set immediately after HBP except for a mini prologue.




This fic also is my attempt at continuing the at Book 7, so you also have the war against Voldemort, the search for the Horcruxces, and the way they run Hogwarts during that year included in the plot.




Side characters like Ron, Hermione, Moody, Lupin, Tonks, Neville, Augusta Longbottom, Draco, Hagrid, and the rest of the Weasleys get their fair share of the story.




It is done novel style, which means that some apparently minor issues mentioned in early chapters will become important in later chapters. I do recommend you read them in the right order.




To be on the safe side, I rated this “Professors” because it contains violence, sexuality, character deaths, and torture - although none of them described in detail.




Also I now have added an AU warning - my story contains two detals that we will not see happening in "Deathly Hallows". I made the Sorting Hat a Horcrux, and Arthur Weasley will become interim Minister for Magic in my last chapter. Well, I wrote this before those rumors were shot down as non-canon by JKR, and I'd not like to change my plot now - so, sadly, my story has become a bit AU. You have been warned ;-)

It's About Time by megan_lupin

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: There are dark times on the horizon, and everyone knows it. War and death assaults the Wizarding World everyday, but even in the middle of all the terror, there are light moments; even in a world of hatred, love can be found. Such is the case when two friends admit their feelings for each other, feelings that they have harboured for several years.

Senses by Gryffinpuff

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: Sense: a word of so many meanings. This is a story about senses. The common sense notion of self preservation that is lost when friends are in need, the senses of the body that can be damaged so easily, and the intuitive senses of the heart that tell you when things have changed. R/Hr focused with a little bit of H/G, not a lot of fluff, with rotating views between the characters on a truly horrific day.
