Teenage Witch by Equinox Chick
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: The Yule Ball of 1994 is a hugely exciting time for all the teenage witches at Hogwarts, but for the Muggle Studies teacher, Charity Burbage, it looks to be a depressing time. With the only available wizard the sour Severus Snape, she has no chance of finding a partner. And when Septima Vector informs her that The Weird Sisters are booked to play, Charity's mind becomes a blur. It had been six years since she last saw Myron. And in those six years, he's become a star.
Will Myron Wagtail remember Charity?
And does she want him to?
I am Equinox Chick from Hufflepuff and this is my entry in the Great Hall Christmas Challenge (prompt 2)
If you've read Mere Wisps of Light, then you'll know that Charity Burbage was very reticent about her Yule Ball romance when talking to Draco. This is why. The stories are linked, but it is not essential to read one to understand the other.
Disclaimer: All the characters mentioned in this fic are the creation of JK Rowling, with the exception of Gerard Bonbon who is my own creation.
The song, Teenage Witch, isn't real, but I'm guessing that Simon Cowell would like me to join his songwriting team.
Finally, thank you very much to Natalie (hestiajones) for beta'ing this story. I owe you so much!

Girl by ringobeatlesfan4
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary:
It never would’ve started like that if James hadn’t insisted on his annual Christmas party. It didn’t matter that his parents had celebrated their anniversary in Ireland earlier that year so that they‘d be in town for Christmas, because there were other venues for a party: in particular, my house. My parents’ house, actually. But of course it didn’t stop there; Hugo was home for the holidays that year, his seventh year of school, which meant that his best friend would be visiting.
If only his best friend wasn’t the boy I’ve tried so desperately to avoid for two years.
This is a Christmas present for the lovely Sarah/Let_It_Be of Gryffindor for the Gryffindor 2010 Christmas Craziness Secret Swap. Merry Christmas, everyone (:

Divided By Magic by TwitchyGirl
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: When Dr. Brennan first took on the case of “Jane Doe”, she was emotionless and barely responsive, concealed behind hair that served as a more effective barrier than a brick wall. A year went by with no progress, but one day, the woman slipped and revealed the secret that resided in the depths of her unconscious mind. And with the secret came Meredith, Regan, Lily, Sapphire, Sadie, Charlie, The Scary Lady, The Doctor, Harrison, and Ellie. All of them were components of Loretta, a host personality that had split her mind into these people to cope with childhood traumas that she was incapable of dealing with. But as Dr. Brennan digs deeper into the memories of this woman’s tortured childhood, he finds that she has carried with her recollections of a magical world.
In this story, discoveries are made of why the magical world has caused Loretta to become tormented, what the Wizarding World has done to her to cause her to divide in her psychological mind.
