The Lions of Gryffindor by Equinox Chick
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: It is June 1976 and The Marauders are at the top of their game. From the outside they look to have everything.But appearances, as the saying goes, can be deceptive.
James is discovering that not everything in life is his for the taking. Sirius knows he will have to defy his formidable family. Remus lives in constant fear of his life beyond Hogwarts. As for Peter... Well, Peter is struggling to live up to his friends.
The ties of friendship are strong, but war is raging and with a dark power rising those ties will inevitably fray.
Added to the mix is an adversary called Severus Snape, some lost House Points, a prank or two and a whole lot of Lily.
This is a Marauder tale.
This is a story of what made them special.
This is a story of why it started to go wrong for The Lions of Gryffindor.
OH MY GOOD GODRIC! Lions of Gryffindor won the 2009 QSQ for Best Marauders' Era Story. Amazed and incredibly grateful to those who nominated, judged and have beta'd this fic. THANK YOU.

Oh please please please update. I am enjoying this story so so much. I love that James is focusing on someone who likes him back. And this story sets up Peters resentment for his future betrayal very nicely. I really want to know what lily's American stranger is up to! He seems so fishy but its subtle, I can't put my finger on why. Maybe its the white lie, the mystery, and the fact that Fabian is suspicious about the murder as well. I had the thought that Fabian himself is the murderer himself, but i'm probably wayy off on that guess. Anyways, im rambling. Well done on this fic! Can't wait for the update!
Author's Response: OOOH, you think Fabian is the murderer - hmmmm, maybe, maybe not .... Thank you so much for the review and I'm glad you;re enjoying the story. I will try to update very soon, I just get very bogged down with other stories. ~Carole~

Rated: 6th-7th Years • Summary:

No doubt an amazing, sweet fic. Really really fantastic job on this.

Positively, of course. A fic well done!

Heat of Life by Equinox Chick
Rated: Professors •Summary: Katie Bell was surprised to receive an official note from Harry Potter. Usually he just popped his head around the door when he wanted a chat, but then he tells her he needs her help tracking down a dangerous Dark wizard who is targeting Muggle girls.

Sweet by Equinox Chick
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: Susan Bones is always getting mixed up with her best friend, Hannah Abbott. She doesn't know why because not only do they look very different, but their tastes are different, too - even down to the flavours of their lip balm. For sunny, popular Hannah loves to try new things, and Susan stays with the same lip balm she's always known.
But perhaps she should try something new.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling.
This story has been written for Lea (mugglegirlmarauder) on the occasion of her birthday. Although she is a Gryffindor here, Pottermore begs to differ and has wisely put her in Hufflepuff.
Thank also to Natalie (hestiajones) for the pairing and the lip balm. I'm not sure the story quite does your inspiration justice :(.
Date: 07/27/12 Title: Chapter 1: Lip Balm and Bon-Bons
Ahhhhhh I can't take it. Its too good. I must leave a review. Reviews on a tablet is quite annoying to type so I never do it. But you have forced me, with the amazingness of your stories, to do it. Three times! God I love your stories.
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I really appreciate all these reviews and am glad you liked this story. ~Carole~

Teach My Feet to Fly by Equinox Chick

This is Equinox Chick of Hufflepuff writing for Round 2 of the Character Clinic Triathlon - Minor Characters. I chose the Music prompt.
The song that Andromeda listens to in this story is River by Joni Mitchell. It is beautiful.
