by TeaOli
43 Ratings, 0 Likes, 5 Favorites )After dying in the Shrieking Shack, Severus Snape is sent back so that he can learn to be a functional human being. In spite of the strides he appears to make, he and his very own “Clarence” know that it’s mostly window-dressing.
Hermione Granger doesn’t regret the choices she made during the war, but that doesn’t stop her seeking some sort of absolution for some of the consequences. If she could let go of her guilt, she might learn to believe she’s got abilities beyond being a swot.

In the Time of the Warlock
by Fairfield
35 Ratings, 0 Likes, 35 Favorites )Two unlikely wizards fall into a quest. Aristotle said comedy portrays people as worse than they are. With this pair, that's not necessary.
There are a number of warnings. Adult relationships are a factor; thoughts, feelings, and events transform the characters; Americanisms abound; and the romance is non-standard.
The story begins after OotP, but the Death Eaters wore disguises and escaped unrecognized from their raid on the Ministry.
Many thanks to the betas: juliannanight and mills.

Destruction Where You Stand
by auberus
34 Ratings, 0 Likes, 18 Favorites )31 October 1981. Instead of going to Azkaban, Sirius Black goes on the run, determined to catch the traitorous Peter Pettigrew even as post-war violence tears through the wizarding world. Meanwhile, Remus Lupin and a handful of others work desparately to clear Sirius' name, and to find him.
After all, they are not the only ones seeking Sirius Black. The Ministry of Magic has set the Dementors on his trail, and they have been given permission to administer the Kiss the instant he is caught. The remnants of the Death Eaters are pursuing him as well, in hopes that he will lead them to Pettigrew -- whom they blame for Voldemort?s defeat.
