"there are kinds of grief that make newborns out of us" (Jenny Xie)

In the aftermath of his brother's death, Regulus is sent to live with his estranged cousin, Andromeda.

Being an auror is not half as cool as comics made it seem, so Ron joins the Chudley Cannons reserve team, the Chudley Chutneys. There's one small problem: he's not that great at quidditch.

This was written for round two of Kevin's Knockout Challenge, theme: luck.

Sometimes you get locked out of Gryffindor Tower and decide the best course of action is to sleep in the Room of Requirement. Sometimes you do that with one of your best friends, who also happens to be the object of your massive crush.

And sometimes, the Room of Requirement only gives you one bed.

“Moody and the Longbottoms are tied up but last I heard they were going to get here as soon as they could.” Sirius pulled a face as he spoke.

“Tied up?” Lily repeated, high-pitched and too loud. “They know we’re literally in a pitched battle in a public park, yes?”

“I’m here as the executor of Walburga Black’s will,” Bellwater said without preamble.

“Sorry?” Sirius said, blinking a few times. “I wasn’t aware I was even still in — hang on,” he said, turning to Remus for some reason. “You only get an executor of your will if you’re dead, right?”
