Scenes from Shell Cottage by WeasleyMom

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: This fic is a series of missing moments from the time H/R&H were at Shell Cottage, beginning immediately after they Disapparated from Malfoy Manor. JKR shows us what was going on with Harry, but this is my version of what could have happened with Ron and Hermione after one of the most emotional/disturbing events in the entire series.

UPDATED June 2010 When I first wrote this fic, I didn't know what a beta reader was, and frankly, it showed. Thanks so much to Natalie for helping me polish this up and make it more readable. Thanks also to both Julia and Carole, whose helpful comments in the review section allowed me to make some much-needed corrections during the rewrite. I would love to know what you think ~ reviews are very much appreciated!

This was nominated in the 2010 Quicksilver Quill Awards for Best Canon Romance.

I just want to say that I used to be a huge Scorpius/Rose shipper until I read this. Thank you for such a lovely, convincing and sexy pairing.

Also, apologies for my other review (the April 1st one). They had to end somewhere!

Author's Response: I admit I was a bit WTF at first, but no offence taken. How can I be angry with another Scugo shipper? Hehe. Thanks for reviewing!



Tooth and Claw by welshdevondragon

Rated: 3rd-5th Years • Past Featured Story

Shortly afterwards Gloria is found murdered. As the Auror Fabian Prewett begins to question the suspects, he finds himself asking who would want to kill a fifteen-year-old girl?

Due to the current MNFF glitch, I have changed the rating to 3rd-5th years BUT this is a 6th-7th years story, and therefore should be read as such.

High by Equinox Chick

Rated: 3rd-5th Years • Past Featured Story
Summary: Scorpius Malfoy is the Seeker for Slytherin. Not only that, he's the best Seeker at Hogwarts, and it's his catches that win matches. But this year things are different; Albus Potter has switched to Chaser and the new Gryffindor Seeker is his annoying little sister.

This is the story of how one match and one missed catch can change your life.

This story was accidentally deleted, so is being resubmitted ... very very quickly.

SQUEEEEE! High won the Best Next Generation QSQ award. Thank you so much for the everyone who has helped, either by beta'ing or encouraging me.

Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling. I'm not sure who I am at the moment, but there must be some Arthur Weasley blood in me.

Thank you Natalie (hestiajones) for doing the vast majority of the beta work on this, and Apurva for work on the early chapters

Squish for Natalie, Jess, Kara and Bob for helping me sort this out.

Due to an archive hissy fit regarding any story with a rating about 3rd-5th, I have temporarily lowered the rating on this story. However, I have NOT changed the content. This story is still a 6th-7th. You click at your own risk.

This is not my fav Next-Gen ship (i like to ship Scorpius with buys), but your fic is amazing! It has convinced me. :) Eagerly waiting for the final chapter.

Author's Response: Hmm, I have a Scugo somewhere (Scorpius Hugo) called 'Eyes that Know me' that you might like (it's not at all compliant with High, I should say. You might like to check out hestiajones' fiction pages because she's written some wonderful Scugo stories. Thanks for the review. The last chapter is finished and will be up as soon as my beta returns it. ~Carole~



Reviewer: expecto_patronuts Signed

I lied earlier.

Author's Response: So you don't prefer Scorpius with buys.

Good.



Reviewer: expecto_patronuts Signed
Date: 04/05/12 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 -Flying High

Apparently, I need to be specific with the likes of delusional shippers such as you.

No, I do NOT ship Scorpius with buys. Hugo is not an item of clothing.

Author's Response: Tell that to Hugo Boss.



Reviewer: expecto_patronuts Signed
Date: 04/05/12 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 -Flying High

I have told him.

He says he is not the Weasel's son.

Author's Response: And not the ferret's, and thus ... Drugo exists.

The Unbreakable Curse by Karaley Dargen

Rated: 6th-7th Years • Past Featured Story
Summary: In 1993, Bill Weasley is working on a tomb in Egypt with a team of Magiarchaeologists and Curse-Breakers. It is a job like any other ... or so it seems, until members of the expedition start dying, and Bill has to race against time to figure out what exactly it is that they awakened in the tomb of Mentuhotep, and how it can be stopped before it reaches him.



The following are characters from JKR’s creations: Bill Weasley, Ragnok, Agatha Chubb (QttA), and the last names of Deverill and Pilliwickle. I don’t own them and never will!

I owe a large debt to Hannah (coolh5000), Carole (EquinoxChick), and Natalie (hestiajones) for their constant encouragement and help at various stages of this story.

Fair Warning: Some of the reviews (naturally) contain spoilers, especially those towards the end. So if you want to be safe, don't read those before you read the story.

This story just WON a 2012 QSQ Award in the General category, as best chaptered story. THANK YOU!!!

So here we are, at last, at our journey’s end,
And it’s time for some sweets; come on, bring a friend!
Simply search for the holiday and the first thing you’ll see
Is a familiar character’s first Halloween.

Reviewer: expecto_patronuts Signed
Date: 04/12/12 Title: Chapter 3: Three - The Turn, Part Two

ZOMG! WHAT!

Did Lily hex him so he would stop being a potion-addled idiot? But wasn't he injured? Or is that someone else? WHAT!

This was as hilarious as the previous chapter. I really enjoyed the scenes with Lily.

Author's Response: I love getting a ZOMG from you, because then I know I've truly surprised you, and I don't think I do that a lot in my writing. YES! I'm glad you enjoyed the cliff-hanger and are trying to puzzle it out. I'm almost done editing the last chapter so it won't be long till the resolution--the prestige. Hee hee. Glad you liked Lily's scenes. It was one of those classic J/L things for me that makes my heart skip a beat every time I read or write it. I <3 them. And you - thank youuuuu!~Gina :)
