You suppose she hadn't quite grown up yet.

Can a flower truly thrive under pressure? Rose Weasley finds out the hard way after graduating from Hogwarts and is thrust headfirst into the world of adulthood. To her parents’ dismay, she takes a position as a florist in a Hogsmeade flower shop. It isn’t easy though, with an overbearing father breathing down her neck and the emergence of an old academic rival. But with guidance from her beloved former professor, Rose learns that to feel the sunshine, she must turn away from the shadows.

As Albus and Scorpius begin their life together, Albus discovers that married life is every bit as wonderful and difficult as he always anticipated it would be. Life is better now that they're free from the looming threat of a Dark Arts resurgence, but Albus quickly realizes that there are plenty of other threats, too, like aggravating bosses and unexpected bouts of baby fever. Meanwhile, officials within the Ministry unearth a rapidly-worsening problem: for reasons unknown, the frequency of Squib births has quietly and suddenly quadrupled, leading to serious concerns over what might be prohibiting wizards and witches from passing on their magical genes-- and what that might mean for the coming generations of Wizardkind. While James and his new Ministry department struggle to deal with the societal impacts of an unprecedented amount of Squib children, Lily and Albus find their jobs--and their lives--intersecting in an unexpected way.

The Sixth Year Slytherins play a game of Magical Spin the Bottle.

Scorpius Malfoy knew his fifth year would be challenging-- but he hadn't expected this. Between his impending O.W.L.s, his new relationship, Quidditch tryouts, the public eye, and the Slug Club, he can hardly catch his breath. Meanwhile, Harry Potter discovers that being a professor at Hogwarts is very different from being a student there-- especially when you've got three mischievous children and a handful of students who can't seem to do more than ogle at you. 

Ginny Potter estimates it will only take three days into the Weasley-Potter family holiday for Albus to act on his feelings for his best friend. Albus estimates it will only take three days for him to die of embarrassment. And Scorpius, well. Scorpius is just glad to be there with Albus in the first place.

Rose and Scorpius both like each other - unfortunately neither one of them will admit it.

Hero Hepburn: Minister for Magic

Okay, I'm currently at the bottom of the Ministry hierarchy.

Sure, Lily Luna Potter has the heritage and pedigree to leapfrog over me.

Yes, I'm well-aware I recruited her in the first place.

How was I to know she's a saccharine Machiavellian hellbent on my downfall?

I'll have you know it isn't a terrible idea to align myself with her self-destructive, vigilante brothers!

In which the girls of Hufflepuff's Dormitory 2.6A stalk Albus Potter, tackle him to the ground and threaten to poison him despite the fact that he is very much in love with Nova Hale.

"How should I know the Slytherin agenda? Maybe it’s your hypermasculinity having a bloody conniption and acting up again."

"But - you can't be the bane of my existence! That's just more angst to deal with!"

[Or: A crack!fic about Albus Potter's brilliance at the Art of Angst™ and the girl who cured him of it.]

Isn't arrietty. @TDA so completely brilliant at making graphics like this one? 



Rose is sore from practice.
