    Summary

    Harry wasn't expecting everything at Hogwarts to just return to normal after killing the basilisk. Students have missed months of classes and Ginny Weasley is in dire need of help. If Harry has learned anything from his unfortunate upbringing at the hands of Vernon Dursley, it's that the world revolves around money. But from what he can tell, wizards have no clue how to use it. With a valuable corpse on his hands and an unexpected ally, Harry figures it must be his responsibility to fix things.

    Summary

    For the first eleven years of Harry's life, he swore by Darwin's Theory, being adaptable was what had kept him alive thus far. So when he receives the curveball of his life, instead of being knocked completely off course, he merely does what he has been doing his whole life, and adapts to his new situation.

    If you move to Japan from America, you wouldn’t expect the Japanese people to learn English and American culture for you. Rather, one would do their best to learn about Japanese culture as not to offend any of the locals. Why should the Wizarding World be any different?

    Summary

    "And… and this is a particularly strange coincidence, but we're getting reports in that Ilya Rozanov, Captain of the Boston Raiders, is also being removed from his game against the Admirals in Boston tonight after he collapsed, similar to Hollander here. Rozanov is not currently responsive, according to the commentators of that game."

    Or: Ilya and Shane form a soul bond and become a package deal, much to the dismay of everyone involved.
