    Summary

    After the war, Draco was alone. His parents, gone, running away from being convicted, or found by people who saw them as traitors, leaving him in a manor far to big for himself and a mind far to broken to handle it.

    He tried to change his image, by helping clean up Hogwarts, giving some Malfoy gold away to many foundations that were helping out witches and wizards that were badly affected by the war. He let people look down on him for a change, spit on his shoes and call him 'pureblood prat.' and 'deatheater scum.'

    When he wasn't sitting in a corner of the manor or getting hexed in Diagon alley, he found solace in the muggle world. His favorite place being a small coffee shop, where he tried different coffees and stared at the barista.

    Summary

    Severus has planned for a busy summer—he has a blood vow to fulfil and a going-on-teenager Harry Potter to look after. However, he’s not quite anticipated how much his latest scheme to occupy his ward will change the dynamics between them, and nowhere in his most paranoid plans did he imagine that Harry’s godfather would escape prison.

    Continuation of Snakes and Ladders: covers the summer between Year 2 and Year 3.

    Summary

    This is the story of a Petunia Dursley who saw Harry Potter sleeping on her stoop and said 'How can this benefit me?'

    And it's the story of Harold Evans Dursley who grew up knowing there was power in being polite and that sometimes getting people to do what you want was easier than you'd think. Also, having Dudley sit on the kids trying to punch you works like a charm.

    And it's the story of Dudley Dursley who is determined to squash bullies, be polite, and do the best he can at--well, everything. He's going to learn languages and battle maths and end up working at Grunnings with his brother. And everything will be totally brill.

    This is a story of book clubs and bridge, parseltongue shenanigans and owl-backed child mafias, of all the things that happen while they're not at Hogwarts-- and all the stuff that does.

    It's a story about Harold the Normal. He's here to learn magic and go home... because the rest of his life is waiting for him.

    Summary

    By choosing not to call the police ten minutes ago, and the hospital twelve minutes ago, and Bruce fifteen minutes ago, the decision has been made. There is no backing out, now.

    His sweatshirt is still covered in blood, and soaked from the rain, but he ignores this. It’s fine. He’s fine. He’s the same calm, level-headed Tim he’s always been. So he plans.

    Tim is a murderer. He murdered someone. It's an unchangeable, unshakeable fact...but no-one else knows about it. No-one knows what Tim has done. And if he’s smart, and careful, no-one ever will.

    All he has to do is learn to live with it.
