Thank you to Oregonian for her hours of editing and for nominating this fic for Story of the Month as well as for the Golden Ink She has been amazingly supportive on this journey.
The week after Lan Xichen turns twenty-three, he is told that the elders have decided it is time: the matchmaker has been called.
Sect Leader Lan must find a wife.
It will, he is assured, simply be a process of him dictating his perfect woman to the matchmaker who will find the girl and make suitable introductions. Zewu-jun is, after all, the First Jade of Lan; who would refuse him?
This is less comforting than it's supposed to be because Lan Xichen is left with the awkward, mortifying ordeal of considering the prospect of a wife, and all the books on the subject are, well, unhelpful for a man of his temperament.
It is his greatest challenge yet, so, naturally, he ropes all his brothers into it - willing, unwilling, unwitting.
(Shufu is simply grateful there are no more Explanations required. Twice was twice more than enough.)
Everything deepens and the intensity rises as we move into Part 2! Things get hot between Liam and Gillian. Ben is drawn into a complex game with the girls of the Little Coven.

When Evanora Perrot accepted the position of Hogwarts Head Librarian she expected enchanted books, student study groups, manuscript refurbishment, late nights pouring over the catalog, and only leaving the library to watch quidditch games and filch food from the kitchens.
She did not bargin for Albus Potter and his many exploding cauldrons.

Lily Luna Potter has done it. She is finally hired as an Auror and completes her training without any issue. She doesn't, however, expect to be assigned to a task force investigating a murder of a former Azkaban prisoner who skipped out on probation.
She also doesn't expect the case to involve people she thought were stuck firmly and immovably in her past.

"Someone learns something unexpected about his ancestry and acts upon it." That was the challenge for a 700-word HP drabble that grew from a drabble to an 8,000-word story to a 120-page screenplay, evolving along the way from Draco-Astoria-Scorpius Malfoy to Denis-Aurelie-Silvestre Paridelle, but the HP clues are still there, discernible to a knowledgeable eye. Can you spot them?
The original drabble ended at Plot Point One, where Scorpius/Silvestre says, "If you don't open them, then when I'm an old man and you're dead, I will do it. So we might as well look at them now. Don't you want to know?"
This is a collection of brief stories, vignettes really, in the Harry Potter Universe. You'll find many of your favorite characters here, and those tiny moments you never saw, in a variety of times and settings.
