I had a dream. Her name was Lilith. She walked like fire and talked like diamonds, and she laughed like Aztec gold. She danced just out of my reach and dangled apples over my head, but I could not grasp them. She whispered in my ear but didn’t touch me, and when an apple finally fell it was already rotted through.
Part One of The Saga of the Snapes: The only solace young Severus Snape has from his abusive parents is the spunky redhead who lives next door. The friendship follows them through their years at school, but can it survive the choices each must make? NOTE: AU since OOTP.

It's Chrismas Eve, and Remus wonders what would have happened in his life if he hadn't been bitten.
In 1981, down Spinner's End, Delphini is placed on her godfather's doorstep with a letter saying only the words: your responsibility.
He was a skinny, abused eleven year old with stringy black hair eagerly awaiting the day he could escape from his family and Cokesworth.
She was a grey eyed nineteen year old who arrived in Cokesworth trying to put the horrors of her past behind her.
Each one had secrets which they dared not reveal.
Yet fate decided that their destinies would meet at a crossroad.
More than likely, story is abandoned.
They say it's always the most beautiful flowers that bud the smallest, bloom the latest, and wilt the fastest. A Lily is no exception...

(banner by padfootandprongs91)A rather tall man in black robes mumbled “Lemon drops” and a door opened to a set of winding stairs. His shoulder-length black hair was greasy and made his pale skin and long nose seem even more pronounced than they were. His mood was as black as his robes. He had struggled for a week before coming to this decision. Tucking a worn book back into his robe's pocket, he fought the demon the book's presence had revealed.
“Remember Harry, you have a power that Voldemort does not have. You have love. All these people here love you.” and he wrapped Harry into a big bear hug, and kissed the top of his head. “I am so proud of you.” Harry watched as the tired werewolf walked away, going to each group and offering them words of encouragement and advice.

“Snape!?!” he heard the angry voice behind blurt out behind him. This encounter was one he was not looking forward to this night. “Yes, Mr Potter, I am still here.” he stood up to face the boy. He held his wand loosely as his eyebrows arched and he sneered. "Companion to Final Hour" (banner by ElissandrAnne)(Winner of PFF's Twist of Fate Challenge)
Banner by the fantabulous Infairi. A man can lose everything in an instant, and mourn for its loss for the rest of his life.Ten long years had passed without so much as one tear. Standing before her grave, the former Professor couldn't help but finally grieve over his horrific loss. Staring at her tombstone, he silently celebrated this 10 year anniversary, cursing life for taking away his all. a campanion to "Death Eater's Pensieve"
Startled by the noise, the werewolf's eyes opened and his heightened sense of smell picked up the scent of blood, lots of it. Following the trail, Remus went to the front door and opened it. A crumpled body lay upon the steps, writhing in pain, blood pooled about it.

“You are a bit late, Severus. Did you have a hard time getting away for a meeting that you requested?”
“Yes,” his spy replied. “I came to bring you a present, Albus. . . from the Dark Lord.”

What if it only seemed as though Dumbledore spent the first six books coddling and protected Snape? What if his motives were more complicated?
An experiment in trope smashing.
What if Snape hadn't died in the Shrieking Shack?

What wouldn't a woman do to save her family? Lily Potter died to protect her baby, and her story was told a million times. This is the story of another woman risking everything to save the other boy, the boy who didn’t live.
This is the story of Augusta Longbottom refusing to accept fate.

Big thank you to our Beta reader @VaguelyCreativeName
For James, GCSE Health and Social is about 60% procrastination, 30% dramatics and 10% of Sirius swearing his way into detention. It most certainly does not include being handed a plastic baby and being expected to take care of it with the girl of his dreams.
During the nightmarish year when Professor Snape is Headmaster of Hogwarts and the Professors Carrow conduct their reign of terror, the annual Hallowe'en feast, once a source of innocent fun, becomes an evening of horror. Is it really a prediction of an unimaginable future? Nothing can be depended upon anymore.
It's the final year before the Battle of Hogwarts, and Ernie Macmillan and Hannah Abbott are forced to grow in ways they had not expected, to protect themselves and their fellow Hufflepuffs from the evil that has permeated Hogwarts.
How had she gotten here? What had happened? All Tara did know is the immense pain she was in, a pain she had never felt before.

"You're so--"
"Loveable? Endearing? Yes, I know."
"You're horrible."
"I think you mean wonderful."
Ever wonder how James and Lily's story would have played out if they were American high schoolers at an end-of-the-year amusement park trip? Note: story contains whizzing peanuts and scary clowns.
