If all the soul-and-body scars,
Were not too much to pay for birth - Robert Frost

Sticking Together by iLuna17

The Fire I Yearn For by silverlining95

There's A Light That Never Goes Out by Alice Mac
Rated: 1st-2nd Years • Summary: To die by your side, well the pleasure; the privilege is mine - The Smiths
War is not a place for children. But then, is it a place for anyone?
Colin Creevey may be a child and not the most threatening weapon the Light has to offer. But he has weapons of his own; bravery; heart; loyalty; spirit, enthusiasm; love - he has them all in abundance and doesn't know if they're enough but it doesn't matter.
Because he needs this - to be a part of something. To help take back what was taken from them. And if he doesn't make it, he leaves them without regret. Because he was right where he needed to be; next to the people he needed to be with.
This story has been nominated for a 2012 Quicksilver Quill Award in the category Best General Story
Dumbledore's Army - Still Flying by Karaley Dargen, muggle girl marauder, minnabird, the opaleye
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Life at Hogwarts is all but cheerful under the Carrows' reign. One of the changes that hurts the students worst, some even worse than torture, is the ban on Quidditch. Dumbledore's Army wouldn't be themselves, though, if they didn't find a way to bring some life back to the castle, even if it only lasts a couple of hours. But can even the best of matches wipe away mistrust and resentment?
This story was written by the Incaff Military Athletic Division for the 2011 Quidditch World Cup on the Beta Boards. It won, too! Our alternate was hestiajones.
Many thanks to the referees, who set this wonderfully inspiring prompt that gave us weeks of drabbling-frenzied fun. The prompt for this match was:
"One Last Match: When Harry was on his extended camping trip, I don’t think his thoughts extended much to Quidditch, but for those at Hogwarts it did. Under the new regime, however, the sport was banned. For the pupils at Hogwarts, this became a focal point of rebellion. They decide to play one last match, an inter-house match, in the spirit of Dumbledore’s Army. The two teams will not be from one house but a mixture."
