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.

Veils by Equinox Chick
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: It is the night before Petunia Evans' wedding. As she stares at herself in the mirror, she is satisfied with her appearance. The dress is perfect, cleverly cut to give her curves, and she looks like a dream. Yes, the dress is perfection ... but what of the veil?
She has promised Vernon and his formidable mother that she will wear the Dursley veil. It is an antique. A family heirloom.
It is hideous.
What she needs is a miracle to rid her of the ugly thing ... or perhaps a touch of magic.

Date: 06/12/12 Title: Chapter 11: Epilogue
You made me cry.... This is one beautiful fanfic. At first I did not think that the pairing would be interesting, but you did a wonderful job and truly diserv QSQ award!!!! :) Thank you for creating this!
Author's Response:
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. This story and these characters quickly endeared themselves to me, and it seems to be something I could share with readers. Honestly, I didn't expect anyone to read it or even notice it merely because of the characters' obscurity, but I believed in them. And maybe they believed in me a little bit, too.
I'm glad you took a leap of faith and read something you weren't sure you'd like, because that's why I keep writing peripheral characters: to sell others on their importance to the universe that JKR gave us.
Anyway, thanks again, both for reading and checking in to let me know what you think. It's been a privilege to share this story with everyone, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. As for a QSQ...here's hoping. :D

Date: 03/13/13 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 6 - Reunions
Thank you for the update!!!! It made my day!!! I just love this story - and inlike the idea the Scorpius picked a red baloon as a refference to High (dven if you did not have that in mind). I hope you shall update soon! :)
Author's Response: Thank youuuu. yes, there's a small reference to High with the balloon, or rather that Scorpius isn't the same as his father, but there's not really a connection between the two stories, otherwise I'll tie myself in knots - lol. Thanks for the review. I've just started chapter 9 so I am determined to get this finished. ~Carole~

Love and Order by Gmariam
Rated: 3rd-5th Years • Summary: When impulsive new Auror Alice Hamilton is partnered with the more serious and experienced Frank Longbottom, neither is quite sure what to expect. They have a history, after all, and a different way of approaching the job. Yet in a world where dark forces continue to threaten the safety and security of the magical community, they must work together in spite of their feelings--especially when it becomes clear that You-Know-Who is planning a major offensive that will threaten both their relationship and their lives.
Date: 03/21/13 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter Eleven
Thank you again for a beautiful Marauder era story. You do an amazing job writing about these characters and do not ever stop! :) I am a huge fan of all your James/Lily stories, and I love that you included them here as well as the rest of the Marauders. The thought of Alice's and Frank's lives in the future to come is more tragic than any of the other Marauders but I love the way you write about their present so I can easily forget about their future.
Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much! And you are welcome - I just love writing Marauder era fics so I am thrilled someone likes reading them as much! I'm a bit surprised I haven't stopped as it's been a while but they are almost like family now and I never seem to run out of ideas. I've come to enjoy Frank and Alice almost as much as James and Lily, and find writing their story before the tragic attack quite fun (although I am quite stuck at the moment, to be honest) I can definitely see myself writing more of them. Thank you so much for reading and for the lovely review! ~Gina :)
