Four Versions of June, 7th, 1957

by graou

"Albus Dumbledore discovered Minerva in tears in her classroom late one evening, after she found out about the marriage of Dougal McGregor to another woman. She confessed the whole story to him, and Albus Dumbledore offered both comfort and wisdom, telling Minerva some of his own family history, previously unknown to her. The confidences exchanged that night between two intensely private and reserved characters were to form the basis of a lasting mutual esteem and friendship," says JKR. This is a development—actually, four possibilities, one per chapter, of how it could have looked, sounded, felt like to a younger Minerva McGonagall and a less ancient Albus Dumbledore.

Snape's Original Miscellany

by scaranda

When Severus Snape retired from Hogwarts, after teaching Potions for ninety-two years, he expected to live in a house he had inherited from an old uncle. However, retirement being just another orbit around planet shite for our Severus, what he actually inherited was large gambling debt and a shack which had been re-mortgaged so many times to the Goblins that Severus had to go into hiding for some years. It is unclear just how Snape spent that time, but he recently resurfaced in a retirement home for bewildered wizards in Scotland, accompanied by a large black dog. His successor in the post of Potions Master found his diaries in some papers hidden beneath a hairbrush which didn't appear to have been moved for some decades. He read them and quit his post a week later. The position remains vacant.

Not Entirely Tedious

(Prompt at end.)
