Summary: Set before Harry Potter comes to Hogwarts. Clara Ivanova, a chaser for the Vratsa Vultures, comes to Hogwarts for one of her all too rare visits to the only place she considers home. It would be nice if she could come more often but her career has to come first right now. That's what they decided on. One day she'll come back for good but for now these visits will have to get her through the dark times.

Author’s Note: I chose to use Rolanda as Hooch’s first name because it’s from the Trading Cards and I like the old-fashioned sound of it. I found Ivanova’s first name on the Harry Potter Wiki courtesy of a Famous Wizard Card in the video game. I like that both of their names come from cards.

Title: Fly
Characters: Ginny/Viktor
Prompt: It's never too rainy for this at Harry Potter Uncanon Drabble-A-Thon
Word Count: 183

"The forecast is grim. It is not safe in the sky today." Viktor slung his broom over his shoulder as if he expected her to call off the rematch. If it was bad, she knew he wouldn't have shown up with his gear on. This was a test for her. One she knew she could pass easily.

Ginny shook her head. "I love flying in the rain. Are you afraid to get that pretty hairdo wet?" She laughed when he unconsciously put a hand up to touch his hair. It was a struggle not to sound petulant. "You promised you'd fly with me. It's never too rainy for this."

His eyes glittered with lust. The flying was just a prelude to the release they would find afterwards, the grass of the pitch better than any bed they might find. As a couple, they didn't make much sense anywhere but here, where their passions were equal and fierce.

"Come, Iskra." Spark. Flame. She burned for him whenever he called her that and he knew exactly how it affected her. "Let us fly."

I wrote this FOREVER ago... I think Book 6 had just come out. Just found it while going through my Google Docs and figured I should put it up here for safe keeping! Please forgive the inconsistency with canon... and my lack of imagination on which Weasley JKR really meant to kill off.

Title: View From the Other Side - Chapter 1
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Nymphadora Tonks, Charlie Weasley
Word Count: 2709
Prompt: 08. Miracles
Disclaimer: I don't own either of these individuals, nor do I own anything to do with the Harry Potter empire. JK Rowling is the high queen of the universe and I am but a humble page who dwells in the kingdom.

This is a post-Book 7 story. I warned you! Also, I suppose this is an AU so you've been warned about that, as well. Sadly, unbetaed at this point.

Summary: Death is not always absolute. Some people have things left undone, loved ones left without the last blessing they have to bestow. Most of the time, this is done quickly and with very little raucous. One out of every million gets botched and something miraculous happens. Is it a true second chance or has nature been disrupted so severely that it will not stop until the rift is patched and things are back to normal?

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart
-Sunday, Bloody Sunday, U2

Challenge: 67 - Writing Different Ships at malfoy100

Title: From There to Here
Characters: Lupin/Snape
Rating: R for situation
Word Count: 3192
Author’s Note: Written for the express wishes of innerslytherin (for her lyric challenge) using the song “There to Here” by East to West:
He said I wish you could have known me
When I was young enough to dream
The world was mine to change
At least that’s the way it seemed
And I’m not sure when it happened
But all the hope just disappeared
And it’s been a long long way from there to here

This is not my usual fare but I enjoyed this pairing.

( Summary: There is no promise that you'll fall out of love once you've felt the bite of denial. )
