Once the ban on magic is lifted, Merlin goes all out.

Experiments with magic, illusion Charms, potions, wands, he invents them all.

Problem is, it requires a lot of time and with all threats gone and people accepting Arthur as the once and future king, he kind of starts neglecting his time with Arthur.

At least Arthur thinks so, cause he's a pining and needs Merlin in every second of the day. Not just at meals and during the council and when he's doing his manservant duties and.... You get it.

So he offers to play Merlin's guniea pig.

Merlin, the servants and the council are not only shocked, they get really, really worried.

Arthur is their KING. Offering to being a guinea pig for a clumsy sorcerer is like putting himself at unnecessary risk.

Which Arthur obviously ignores, because he also fights at the front lines of his wars. After convincing Merlin how good it would be for him to have someone to experiment on and that he knows Merlin would never harm him and trusts his instincts, cause Arthur is a sappy bitch, Merlin finally relents. Especially after Arthur orders it.

And because I'm in HP mode right now, Merlin ends up inventing HP magic.

Meaning, polyjuice potion, Veritaserum, etc etc.

He also invents the mirror of erised, or those disappear cabinets.

All things that make Arthur wonder and pine even harder than before.

He only gets to test them once Merlin is really, really sure it's save for the king. But Arthur loves their extra time together. He loves watching Merlin work.

And all of the above is just pretext so Arthur can smell at the Amortentia potion:

"Hey, Merlin, I'm not drinking that. That's your bathwater, isn't it?"

Merlin: "erm.... No? What do you mean?

Arthur: " its smells like you."

Merlin: it smells like me? No. It smells like metal and.... *Clears throat nervously* That soap I make you use."

Arthur:..... "The soap I can agree on. But it's more like.... i dunno. It just smells like you."

Merlin: "why do you even know how I smell?"

Arthur: "I've hugged you before..... Once."

Merlin:" when did that....."

Gwaine walking in: "hey! No one told me you're brewing apple cider, Merls!!! Let me try some!"

And then they have a problem.

It takes them weeks of shenanigans to get Gwaine to stop drinking Amortentia, though the effect on him is pretty similar to booze. Except more goal oriented.

They let all of Camelot smell the potion and describe it's contents. Most of them seem happy. Some embarrassed. But overall, the people seemed pleased by the smell.

Gwen: "it seems.... Like they all smell their favorite smells. Like I smell fresh bread and gleaming metal and Morganas shampoo...." She stares dreamily into the cauldron.

Merlin and Arthur look at each other, then Merlin clears his throat.

"that's .... A good theory. But that doesn't explain why Arthur thought I just boiled my own bathwater."

Arthur: *sweats*

Gwen: "oh.... Oh my."

Arthur: "Merlin, I think she might be right. Em.... This is awkward."

Merlin: *blank* what?

Mon Couteau Aiguise (My Sharp Knife) - gillianeliza - E, 99 chapters, Words: 169,542 - “And you understand, I assume, the implications of wearing a piece of jewelry such as the one you have around your wrist?” Professor Snape asked. Hermione looked down at the bracelet in question, remembering the warm and joyful sensation of it first being clasped around her. The words Draco had spoken – will you have me? Will you accept me? “I do, sir,” she answered in her best impersonation of confidence. “But Miss Granger… I must ask – do you understand the cost?” Her brows pulled together. “The cost, sir?” “The Dark Lord will return, girl… When he returns, Lucius – and I for that matter – must resume our places at his side.” Hermione still said nothing, which she could tell surprised her potions professor greatly, so he continued. “What do you think will happen to Draco when his father once again becomes a follower of the Dark Lord?” The sticky dread clawed its way up her throat, as if choking her. Tears welled in the corners of her eyes as she thought of the implications. “So I ask you again, Miss Granger, do you understand the cost?” This work is a dark, Death Eater Hermione AU that begins during third year. Eventual canon divergence. Please read all tags!

Lucius Travels - lexiatel - G, 7 chapters - Lucius’s ghost travels back in time to change the past of a suicidal Draco. This ends as a Dramione. “Ah, the greatest thing about being a spirit of the Afterlife is the ability to appear anywhere we feel the need to.“ Lucius tilted his head, slightly confused about his statement. The  old codger had always confused him. “How will that at all help my son?” Albus scratched his bearded chin with a pause in thought. “Perhaps it’s not a where you would like to travel to, but more specifically, a when.”

The Green Girl By: Colubrina - T, 22 chapters - Hermione is sorted into Slytherin; how will things play out differently when the brains of the Golden Trio has different friends? AU. Darkish Dramione. COMPLETE.

Priceless: Diamonds By: KristieConspiracy - T, 21 chapters - “I want that one.” Draco was only 8 years old when he picked Hermione. He should have known it wouldn’t be that easy. Book 1 of the ‘Priceless’ series, sequel is 'Snakeskin’. AU (marriage law, modern wizarding world c. 1990) but following canon, Dramione.

From Sacred Vials By: BelovedArise - T, 7 chapters - When Cressida Dagworth-Granger falls pregnant during the First War she agrees to go undercover for the Dark Lord, hiding in plain sight. Eleven years later, it’s time for Hermione Granger to attend Hogwarts. She has to pass first year, befriend Harry Potter, keep her friendship with Draco Malfoy a secret, and meet her father for the first time. Hogwarts will never be the same.

the pain of loss lingers and remus knows it best.

to worship at the shrine of forgiveness knowing you will never be forgiven by those that matter most is the death of hope.

remus has stopped hoping for it to be better.

A New Beginning

Status: Complete

Wordcount: 8k

Rating: General audience

During one summer night just before Draco's first year in Hogwarts the wards on Malfoy manor signal some sort of disturbance and alert Narcisa. She comforts distraught Draco what opens a sequence of event leading to a small but meaningful canon divergence.

We see one day from Narcissa's point of view - starting with the night scare to Diagon Alley shopping tour for Hogwarts supplies. This gives us a very intimate insight into Malfoys' life and allow look beyond the label of bigoted pureblood supremacists to find caring parents, affectionate partners and finally well-off power couple enjoying decadent and lavish lifestyle. The Malfoys still think of themselves as wizarding royalty and have the same political stance but there is more to them then just Death Eaters and sympathizer.

Narcissa observes some subtle changes with Draco and finally witnesses an interaction with another Hogwarts first year that leaves her baffled. I like the fact that this story leaves us room for interpretation as for reasons for the change in Draco and his motives. A cherry on the top is fanon trope of Malfoy manor being decorated with portraits of the ancestors and their interaction with current living residents.

It's a very well crafted, short fic that makes the reader hungry for the full story.

7/10

Harry, in a fit of fright during a really bad beating, accidentally apparates for the second time in his life. This time, straight into the cell of Azkaban's only sane inmate.

Or: how drastically would Harry's story be altered if he accidentally apparated to Sirius before he got his Hogwarts letter, due to wishing he was with someone who cared for him or wouldn't hurt him?

Could a trial for Sirius be achieved? Could he have a home? Could he come to Hogwarts just a little more prepared?

A Pre-Perciverus scenario where they have to take a professional style photo together for some reason or another that i don't care to invent

where they have to be like dressed up and stuff point is as they're standing in front of the camera Marcus's tie is messed up so Percy fixes it for him because obv they're both in this photo and if Marcus looks bad it will make Percy look bad too but fixing it makes Oliver feel jealous which is made worse by Marcus looking at him challengingly over Percy's head leading to Oliver messing up his own tie and hair in an attempt to get attention too

Which does work because then Percy turns to him and exasperatedly fixes him too even if he's now a little peeved that neither of them seem to have taken this seriously before turning back towards the camera all the while the other two are glaring and flipping each other off before actually standing still for the photo

Point is this event is now what the new photo repeats over and over because I think its fun

#percy weasley #marcus flint #oliver wood #flintley #perciver #could also be just one of them too since it's a Pre-relationship scenario #also Percy doesn't notice how obvious these two idiots are for months #in my mind this was like in the last year at Hogwarts but shrugs #perciverus

Of Starlight And Cigarettes

The potions master finds you indulging in a nasty habit after a fight.

I have four WIPs of both father Paul and Sharp, but I wrote this ficlet in a single sitting yesterday, so here it is. Gif was amateurly made by yours truly.

tw: tobacco usage

Aesop Sharp was no longer surprised to find you lurking about on school grounds after curfew. He wasn't pleased, far from it, actually, but he wasn't surprised. And his displeasure was greatly outweighed by relief that you were alive. He almost wouldn't notice you were it not for the smoke coming from your vicinity, nearly sparkling in the moonlight. He traced it to its origin and found a little orange dot there. The professor neared closer.

You were standing with your back leaned against one of the castle walls, dressed in one of your Highlands ensembles of trousers, blouse and a leather coat. Once he came even closer, he noticed the clothes bore signs of damage. Your right sleeve was terribly charred and the coat and blouse were cut just above your left hip. Dried blood lingered on them. He saw your face now, also finding some dried blood here and there, mixed with dirt and grime, but no actual damage to your person. Must've gulped down some Wiggenwelds before.

In your hand was a lit cigarette. Aesop saw them a few times in London, thin sticks of paper with tobacco within, the ones who wielded them filling the surrounding air with smoke. Smoking was rather popular within the wizarding community as well, but he really only ever saw wizards and witches use pipes. Used one on a few occasions himself, too.

"Isn't this more of a Muggle thing?" he asked, his voice barely more than a whisper. While he disagreed with many things you were doing - mainly putting yourself in danger, your slight savior complex and currently, smoking on school grounds - he still was inexplicably fond of you. He was especially fond of how you seemed to come to a deeper understanding. You probably knew he was there long before he noticed you, yet you stayed. You waited for him. You were very aware he could bring all of his concerns to the Headmaster, most likely resulting in your expulsion, yet you always let him see you. He appreciated that more than he'd ever suspect he would.

It felt very deep and very complex, and Aesop was glad for it, though he didn't really understand why.

"Yes, I suppose. Wouldn't have enough patience for a pipe," you replied, your voice as neutral as if you were talking about the weather, "it doesn't matter that much anyway, I rarely smoke as it is." He leaned against the same wall while you were talking, grateful to be able to take some weight off his bad leg. "I got these from some Frenchman as a gift almost a year ago, the summer between my fifth and sixth year," you continued, "this is my fifth one since. It's quite disgusting really… However, well, there are times when one seems to be exactly what I need at the moment. If you understand."

The potions master didn't say anything for a while. Then, however, his hand moved towards your own, and two long digits took the cigarette out of your hand. Aesop lifted it to his face, closed his lips around it and inhaled. He felt his throat burn, but didn't stop pulling at the smoke. Once his lips parted, he breathed the rest of the way in, before releasing the smoke again in one fluent exhale. He felt the nicotine entering his nervous system and immediately setting off chemical reactions there.

He could feel you staring the entire time, at his hands and fingers first, then moving to his lips.

Wordlessly, he offered the cigarette back to you. You took it, connecting your hands as you too closed your index and middle fingers around it. You then took a drag, closing your eyes as the little orange dot got closer to your fingers.

After that, you wandlessly cast levioso on the remains, before making them burn into ashes with a small incendio. The small amount of dust that remained scattered below into the grass beneath your feet.

"I certainly hope this will not become a habit, Miss (L/N)," Aesop spoke at last. You gave him a lopsided grin, your eyes sparkling at him. "The smoking? I don't think it will, professor. As I said, it really is quite ghastly. As for standing under the stars with my dear potions master, well, that is quite pleasant."

Sharp snorted. "Get yourself cleaned up and go to your dorm, before you spend a month with 'your dear' potions master in his classroom, counting the ingredients stock in Latin, as detention."

It was your turn to let out an amused sound. Yours was a deep chuckle: "Now, that'd be a new one. I better hurry before that potions master actually drags me to my dorm by his teeth."

To both his satisfaction and horror, you actually kissed him on the cheek before swiftly scrambling away.

"Don't kiss me when you smell like tobacco," he mutters just loud enough for you to hear. One more chuckle is his only answer, before he stands on the school grounds alone, the sky above him for once clear of any clouds. Aesop studies the stars above - he was never any good in Astronomy, but still found the stars rather beautiful to look at.

You really were going to be the death of him someday.

What a nice way to go, though.

I hope you enjoyed reading. You can find this work and everything else I've written on AO3. I'm always grateful for feedback <3
