    Summary

    It’s 1975 and war is simmering beneath the surface of the Wizarding world...but at Hogwarts, it’s magic as usual as the fifth years prepare for their O.W.L.s amidst politics, pranks, and other poor choices.

    Severus Snape wants to prove his worth.
    Lily Evans wants a fresh start.
    James Potter wants Lily Evans, though no one is more surprised by this than him.
    Sirius Black wants to write himself a new story.
    Remus Lupin wants to survive the next moon.
    Peter Pettigrew just wants to keep up.

    But as tensions bubble over, sides will be chosen, friendships destroyed, families parted, and paths forever altered.

    The Howling Nights is the first book of The Last Enemy series, which follows the lives of the heroes and villains of the First Wizarding War from 1975-1981.

    Summary

    Eddie reached a hand out and gently tucked his fingers under Steve’s chin, tilting it upwards and turning Steve’s face just a little to the side as he observed something on Steve’s face with a look of intense speculation. Steve couldn’t say for certain, but there was almost a tiny bit of anger there just along the edges, like he was stifling away anger at whatever it was that he was looking at.

    Surely he wasn’t looking at the-

    “Somebody put their hands on you, sugar?”

    --

    Draco cut her off. “You may have my wand, but you're not in control of the flow of information here. It’s not your life on the line.”

    Granger bristled at his assertion. “My life is on the line every day.”

    “So. Is. Mine.” He growled back. “Give me my fucking wand and don’t be so bloody obvious when you contact me.”

    She narrowed her eyes. “I already told you I'd be more careful next time.”

    She better be.

    “One more thing.”

    “What, Malfoy?” she snapped, still angry she hadn’t gotten the information she wanted.

    He pointed his finger at her so she would understand how important this was. “You need to learn Occlumency. If you’re captured, I’m dead.”

    She stared back in defiance. “We both are.”

    He couldn’t argue with that.

    She tossed his wand to the floor and Disapparated with a crack.

    Summary

    What if, when Petunia Dursley found a little boy on her front doorstep, she took him in? Not into the cupboard under the stairs, not into a twisted childhood of tarnished worth and neglect—what if she took him in?

    Petunia was jealous, selfish and vicious. We will not pretend she wasn’t. She looked at that boy on her doorstep and thought about her Dudders, barely a month older than this boy. She looked at his eyes and her stomach turned over and over. (Severus Snape saved Harry’s life for his eyes. Let’s have Petunia save it despite them).

    Let’s tell a story where Petunia Dursley found a baby boy on her doorstep and hated his eyes—she hated them. She took him in and fed him and changed him and got him his shots, and she hated his eyes up until the day she looked at the boy and saw her nephew, not her sister’s shadow. When Harry was two and Vernon Dursley bought Dudley a toy car and Harry a fast food meal with a toy with parts he could choke on Petunia packed her things and got a divorce.
