Blourish & Flotts: Beautifully RetoldShow Notes
Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley — Chapter 23 Victor spends his wedding night braced for the Creature’s promised attack, certain that he himself is the intended victim. But as a violent storm gathers over the lake, a dreadful scream reveals that Victor has misunderstood the threat—and the consequences devastate what remains of his family. Overwhelmed by grief, Victor returns to Geneva, where further loss pushes him into months of collapse and confinement. When he recovers, sorrow hardens into a single purpose: he appeals to a magistrate for help hunting the being he created, only to discover how impossible his extraordinary story is for others to accept.

I hope you enjoy this reading of All the Young Dudes by MsKingBean89. Author Summary: LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant. 1971 - 1995 This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!

I hope you enjoy this reading of Lily’s Boy by SomewheresSword. Author Summary: Before his third year at Hogwarts even begins, Harry is given three unsupervised weeks in Diagon Alley. A trip to Gringotts changes everything. Armed with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic—and manipulating far more than Harry ever realized—he quickly understands he can’t continue as he has been. There’s a vast world of lore, politics, and history to uncover, and the more Harry learns, the clearer his true place in the wizarding world becomes… even as Dumbledore’s twinkling eyes watch closely. With help from unexpected allies, Harry begins a journey to end the war and reshape magical Britain. Many see James Potter when they look at him—but they’ve forgotten something important: he is Lily Evans’ son… and she was one hell of a witch.
