Regulus Arcturus Black

Better Not Knowing

by sweetflag

Snape and Sirius reflect upon a woman who was lost to them decades before, and they must learn to work together to keep that woman alive and sane. Despite the emotional and ethical questions attacking them, the Order sought out a witch lost to the Wizarding world: a witch who possesses a knowledge that could turn the tide of the war. But with her forced recovery, no one is spared the emotional havoc that her dubious restoration precipitates. In such a short time, can Snape and Sirius smother their mutual animosity enough to save the mind of a woman that they both loved?

School for Young Seigneurs

by janus

Severus and his friends attend a summer school to strengthen their convictions and to bond as friends.

The title is a nod to Ignazio Silone, who wrote School for Dictators and later contributed to The God that Failed. He walked his own political tightrope. There are dark ideas in here, and I do not subscribe to them personally. I always try to write the Death Eaters so that they are human beings with motivation and ideals, with love and sorrow. Everyone thinks he or she is a good person. Thus I try to make their darkness reasonable to them.

A Nagini and Severus Tale

by nagandsev

What is the greatest sacrifice one can give? This tale begins in Severus' sixth year at Hogwarts, during the surge of new young followers of the Dark Lord; Nagini Malfoy, the main female character, is actually a precursor to Nagini, Voldemort's serpent. Alternate Universe: Lucius, Lestrange, Mulciber, Crabbe, Goyle, Rodoplus and Bellatrix are younger – in their seventh year; Narcissa and Nagini in their sixth. Disclaimer: I don't own anything - the wonderful J. K. Rowling owns everything.

The Sound Inside a Shell

by Alice in Potterland

Wedged between two eras of turmoil, the students of Hogwarts never imagined they'd go down fighting. Life at school was defined by teenage rebellion, tough classes, and nail-bitingly exciting Quidditch games. Grindelwald's defeat was news of the past, but some told of a new dark wizard on the rise by the name of Lord Voldemort...

But for Alice Emerson and the rest of her class, that was simply irrelevant. The outside world stopped at Hogwarts' gates until tragedy in their fifth year brought it violently to the forefront.
