Someone is targeting the students, and no one knows who the attacker is, or what he wants. Will Astra and her friends, Albus Potter and Wren Predatel, be able to stop him? Or will the attacker find what he's looking for, no matter how many children he has to take down to get it?~Quick Disclaimer: This story was written in 2015, and will not follow Cursed Child in any way because of that~Started: 6/18/15Ended: 8/25/15…

The Daily Prophet Issue No. 101,7703 July 2021Lestrange: Model or Menace?After recent events at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it should not surprise readers to find Miss Astra Lestrange making the news once more. Where newsworthy trouble at Hogwarts brews, the little "heroine" never seems to be far. This alone has caused many at this paper to scratch their heads, but now there's call for more than that. As hype over the attack had died down, Lestrange has come up with more and more outlandish tales of what she claims happened to her that night, including madmen that no one has heard of and a much more subversive agenda behind the known terrorists', the Predatels, cause than evidence points to (an agenda that features her as a prominent part, it should be noted). We at the Prophet have found this a disturbing development, leaving many to wonder if there's more to Astra Lestrange than her do-gooder facade...~~~~Made out to be a liar and danger by the media, Astra Lestrange's credibility has dropped to exactly zero in the eyes of the public. She's left helpless, fighting a seemingly impossible battle against the Ministry of Magic. Harry Potter is on her side, of course, but that has left him on shaky ground with the Ministry. He's had to resort to outside means to stop Caymus Stillens, but even that seems to be a losing battle. Even without her fall from grace, Astra would have had a tough year in store. On top of her OWLs, a new rival in Eris Prince, and a controversial new member on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, Astra escaped from Stillens last year. And no one escapes from Caymus Stillens with their life. At least, not for long.As the year progresses and her fight with the Ministry is overshadowed by a fight for her life, Astra begins to suspect that all is not well inside Hogwarts. Could it be that she's been betrayed again?Started: 2/25/17Ended: 4/21/18…

Book 4 in the Star of Gryffindor Series!After Wren Predatel was found alone in Hogsmeade after a large-scale attempted break in at Hogwarts, no one knew exactly what to do with her. A trial is whipped up to decide her fate, but the two key witnesses aren't even allowed to attend. Astra Lestrange is given a firm "No" to all her begging to go. Her aunt thinks it's the last thing she needs, and the Potters give the same verdict regarding James. After all, they've been through enough already; the last thing they need is to watch an old (traitorous?) friend get sentenced to Azkaban. There may be bigger things to worry about this year than Wren, though. It is Hogwarts' turn to host an old tradition, and everyone is excited. The only problem? Last time this happened at Hogwarts, someone died. And there's no guarantee it won't happen again. Join Astra in her most thrilling year yet, with new friends and enemies arising, and adventures more dangerous than any she's faced yet.Started: 6/8/16Ended: 1/28/17…

Hi, I'm Ellie, and I may not be JKR, and my word is not law, I have quite a bit of experience writing fanfiction.

Just be glad you can learn from your mistakes, and mine, and be prepared for a couple of laughs along the way!Warning: This is NOT a rant book. I don't just say what I think is wrong with fanfics, I give suggestions to make them better. Very rarely will I let my emotions control what I'm writing in this book. Feel free to rant within the comments, but don't expect me to do the same!…

Everything started 14th July. As a new year begins for Astra and her friends, they're all worried about the future. After a rough year, with shaky trust and suspicions running wild, they're not sure they can handle whatever might be next. N.E.W.T. level classes and schoolyard bullies pale in comparison to a tyrannical government and a growing network of terrorists that no one seems large enough to stop. On top of that, Wren's parents haven't contacted her once about anything, Zaria Hempsey-related or no. Bigger problems soon arise, though. When nightmares become realities, for more than one member of the group, they're each left with little to stand on. The threat of betrayal by others is constant, but when your own mind can betray you, what's left? Started: 5/26/2018 Ended: 8/29/2020…

This is a sequel! To avoid spoilers to Star of Gryffindor, please read that before reading this!Astra Lewis and Albus and James Potter are back at Hogwarts, this time for a (hopefully) much less dangerous year. But after Wren Predatels's shocking betrayal, Astra is having a hard time. Albus and James seemed to have moved on all right, but for Astra, it's different. It's a very hard thing to find out your first and closest friend was never really there for you. Not to mention all the changes going on. With a new Ministry-appointed headmaster, things are being run a bit differently. There's a clingy, annoying first year who instantly latches onto Astra, but gets sorted into the wrong House. And, Astra's nightmares are getting worse, driving her roommates insane. Not to mention the strange new girl, a transfer from Beauxbatons, who not only seems mysterious, but is apparently interested in the Dark Arts.All of this pales in comparison to the attempts to kidnap James. Astra and her friends are wary of everything now, but somehow, someone is slipping past their defenses... Started: 9/2/15Ended: 12/29/15Cover credit: @silverstorme…

Ginny and Ron Weasley were always the closest of friends. When Fred and George would play a prank, or Percy would tell them off, they always had each other to count on to sympathize or scheme with. When Ron left for Hogwarts, Ginny couldn't wait to go, too. Think of all the fun they could have, two Weasleys together at an amazing places like Hogwarts. With Fred and George's glorious tales of the school fresh on her mind, Ginny bid Ron goodbye and began her eager wait for his return. When Ron comes home for the summer holidays, though, something has changed. Suddenly, he doesn't want to play with his "baby" sister anymore. He's got real friends now, and Ginny gets shunted to the side. It doesn't help that her replacements are the famous Harry Potter and the brilliant Hermione Granger. Suddenly, Hogwarts doesn't seem so fun, and when Ginny ends up in a train compartment all by herself for the entire ride to Hogwarts, a little bitter and very lonely, something happens that could change the course of her life forever.…

Yes, this is so original, isn't it? But, I think mine might be a bit different. Well, as I've been writing my other fanfics (and going to high school myself) I've been thinking of great scenarios that won't work, because the stories aren't present time. So, I decided to be unoriginal for once and write this. Panem High School is a prestigious private school in the Capitol of the country of Panem. It's where all the best, brightest, and richest citizens send their children to school. None of them are as one dimensional as they seem on the surface. This story is written from multiple POVs (at the moment, Katniss, Peeta, Johanna, Cato, Clove, Gale, and Madge), so that's different from all the other "Hunger Games High" stories I've read. There is Clato (just wait for it, it isn't instantly), Gadge, and other ships, so hooray for all of you shippers!I broke down and decided to enter this book in the 2015 Wattys too, so please read and vote, and most important of all: COMMENT so I can get better! Thank you so much for reading!…

When the laws of the Hunger Games were laid out, they dictated that every twenty-five years the anniversary would be marked by a Quarter Quell. It would call for a glorified version of the Games to make the fresh the memory of those killed by the districts' rebellion. Now we honor our fourth Quarter Quell. On the one hundredth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that the Dark Days only served to tear their families apart, each district will be required to send two sets of siblings. The new government that came with the rebellion Katniss started has been overthrown. President Snow's granddaughter is ruling Panem now, and she has proven to be more ruthless than he ever was. Katniss and Peeta were publicly executed after the Capitol took over again, and District 13 was completely obliterated. Since then, the Hunger Games have been harsher than ever. This Quarter Quell promises to be the worst Games since the rebellion. This story is being entered in the 2015 Wattys! Comment and vote and read please!…

Aunt Taylor isn't actually related to any of us. She's just one of those old ladies who never married, who kids have been calling "aunt" forever. And her library, it doesn't look like anything special. You have to actually take the books off the shelves and read them to see what's so special. There are eleven of us who have discovered the secret. No one else has taken the time to read, at least to our knowledge. We aren't even sure if Aunt Taylor knows. And maybe it's better if she doesn't find out. This fanfic is something I like to call a "crossover fanfiction." Ever heard of a crossover edit? Well, this is similar. I know there have been things like this before (Fandom Games, Fandoms at Hogwarts, etc), but mine is different. The fandoms aren't mixing. No, it incorporates everything in a different way. This story is being entered in the 2015 Wattys so vote and comment and read please!…

Relationships, romances, and tensions are running high. Cato and Madge can barely make it, as they try to come to terms with what happened. Meanwhile, Peeta continues to try to win Katniss's heart, but it looks like he may have some competition. On top of it all, Johanna gets cast as one of the two leads in the school play. And it just so happens that the other lead wants nothing more than to get her expelled. One thought prevails this semester. "How will we make it?"…
