    Summary

    Sequel to Harry Potter and the Dark Enigmas.

     

    Harry’s relationship with Severus Snape is almost perfect with all the sarcasm, quips, adventurous sex, and surface level arguments he could want. What’s not perfect is Harry’s work life. The Aurors have discovered a secret: Dark Wizards around the world gather for one night a year to showcase inventions, share valuable secrets, and swap sacred ingredients—a mysterious hidden black market called The Serpent Road. With Auror numbers down, it would be suicide to infiltrate it… but they intend to try.

    Before he enters the lion’s den, Harry has another milestone to attend: Dudley’s wedding. If Harry has to see Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon again, revenge is a dish best served Snape.

    Summary

    Delve into an unofficial 8th book as Harry and Hermione return for their seventh year. Harry struggles with the aftermath of the Battle of Hogwarts, death of loved ones, and maintaining relationships. Failing classes and avoiding friends, he questions his decision to be an Auror and his future place in the Wizarding world. A sullen Draco rallies and returns to Hogwarts, putting on a brave face for the redemption of his family. Ron is fumbling at the ministry while Hermione practically teaches Transfiguration in light of a suitable teacher. But Harry’s most challenging task is not playing frenemies with Malfoy like it’s to win the House Cup, it’s grasping for confusing closure when a door is just opening.

    This ‘8th year’ Hogwarts book takes place directly after Deathly Hallows and hits all the normal points of school: feasts, school life, Hagrid, Hogsmeade, Weasley chaos, Christmas, Rita Skeeter scandals, exams, the House Cup, and culminates in resolving an end of year mystery. Mostly cannon compliant minus the obvious. Relationship simmers, twists, and erupts. Book becomes quite explicit. Snape remains Snapishly Snape.

    Summary

    SEQUEL to Two Weeks! With the knowledge of his fate weighing heavily on his chest, Harry is struggling to cope with his latest revelations as he is plunged into his sixth year at Hogwarts. Meanwhile, a certain Potions Master, now Defense Professor, is hellbent on finding a solution. The two wizards had never seen eye-to-eye, but that is coming to a change as the two must co-work and conspire against more than just the Dark Lord now. But with both of them burdened with their past mistakes and trauma, the path they have chosen will not prove easy.

    But maybe they will not have to venture it alone. At least, not anymore.

    So, it begs the question: will they succeed? Will they overcome the many obstacles thrown in their way by this damned war, where the battlefield is a chess board, and they are two mere pawns, played by the two most feared and powerful wizards of the century?

    Will they find life and solace in their mere existence?

    Summary

    Set during the summer after Harry's Fifth Year. The fifteen-year-old is struggling to cope with his godfather's recent death, ridden with guilt, shame, remorse, and much internal conflict, depression looming on the horizon. The Dursleys aren't helping things either. Things take a sudden twist for the worse when the Blood Wards around Privet Drive fall, rendering Harry unsafe. What's the solution? Dumbledore arranges for Harry to stay with his most hated person after Voldemort and Umbridge: Severus Snape. In isolation. For two weeks. It goes without saying that neither wizard is pleased, and their feelings of mutual hatred are much reciprocated. And with a ticking sleep-deprived Gryffindor time-bomb, that right there is a recipe for a dangerous concoction.

     

    Angst, hurt/comfort, emphasis on psychology and character developement. Super slice-of-life kind of story where every chapter is one day of the two weeks our two favorite characters have to spend in isolation. And the chapters are LONG. Panic attacks, stress, anxiety all based off of personal experiences. Written in third-person omniscient. Heavy emphasis on internal conflict, feelings, emotions, and learning to cope with life's shit.
