Summary
The Prime Minister needs money. It strikes him that he knows where there may be some to be found. Severus and Hermione join forces to thwart him and to protect Lucius Malfoy, who has the most to lose.
Disclaimer: I make no money from this. All characters and settings recognisable from the Potterverse belong to JK Rowling and, presumably, Warner Bros. However, the story is mine.
I would like to thank four people who have helped me greatly in writing this story: Shiv, who came up with the Prompt That Ran Away With Me; my alpha-reader, who squeed and demanded to know what was going to happen next; my beta-reader, who helped greatly with the fine-tuning; and the person who helped me come up with the thing that resolved the plot. Thank you, ladies.

Seven Brides For Seven Snapes by richardgloucester

Summary
Severus Snape has decided he needs a wife, and Hermione is the lucky woman he picks for the job. But he hasn't told her everything she needs to know...
I love the film on which this tale is based, and though I have made a great effort to reimagine it for my characters and for the Potterverse, I have also (as anyone who chooses to read to the end will see) modelled my story very closely on it – chapter headings are the titles of songs or scenes from the film, and here and there I have purloined a choice line of dialogue.
And so, naturally, my 'disclaimers' section must needs be rather more extensive than usual: this is a work of fanfiction, from which I make no money. Any characters and settings recognisable from the Potterverse are the property of J.K. Rowling. The story, and certain lines of dialogue, are modelled closely on the film “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers”, screenplay by Albert Hackett, Frances Goodrich and Dorothy Kingsley, music and lyrics by Johnny Mercer and Gene de Paul. Anything else is mine.
Darling Subversa was kind enough to beta-read the whole, and Machshefa held my hand and cheerled throughout. Thank you, ladies.

Summary
This double drabble is my small tribute to Sir Terry Pratchett, who died on 12th March 2015 and left the world a sadder place for his passing, but a happier one thanks to the brilliance of his writing.
Of course he knew about Hogwarts. Where do you think the undergrads at Unseen University went to school?

Summary
Tony Stark, recently raised to CEO of his late father's multinational corporation Stark Industries, has refused all contact with his business partner Obadiah Stane for more than three days. Replacing the personal assistant who quit only a few days prior, Stane sends someone from his own staff to take over - a no-nonsense, capable, bright young redhead by the name of Virginia Potts who is sure she knows everything she needs to about the company's resident problem child.
But what she finds on her arrival quickly disabuses her of anything she had ever known about Tony Stark, leaving only her job description to guide her. What's left after that? Doing her job - but with a little bit of magic from an unexpected source, something more is forged.
