A Life Unsettled by JAWorley

Summary: Cauldron’s bubbled. Potions simmered. And Snape was yelling at Neville again. Just another ordinary day in Potions class, or so they all thought. When a potion reveals something out of the ordinary, Harry’s life is changed forever, and not in a positive way. Was it so unreasonable to ask that he be allowed to make it through sixth year like a normal teenager?

4. Grasping at Straws by JAWorley [Reviews - 6] (1588 words)

A/N: Ok, so to clear up some confusion that has been coming through in the reviews: When Lucius let Harry walk around with them, Harry asked why he was doing it, and Lucius told him that he was basically repaying the favor Severus shows Draco. Snape and the Malfoy’s are close (especially if the Malfoys made Severus Draco’s godfather). It would only make sense that once they knew Harry was Snape’s son that they would feel some connection and duty to him as well. This is why Lucius tells Harry that he is taking care of him when Snape is unwilling, in the same way that Snape took care of Draco in times past when Lucius was unable. I put that in the story to avoid confusion, but perhaps it should have played a bigger part. This is all possible by the way, because Voldemort is dead and gone forever, and all death eater activities have ceased… in other words, Lucius has moved on. In any case, we see some more of the Malfoys later and learn more about them later.

8. Old Wounds by JAWorley [Reviews - 3] (2345 words)

"For how can a wound heal if we do not let it? To keep picking at it and tearing it open is to let it fester inside yourself and cause unrest. To let it heal one must dress it and tend it and take care of oneself."
-JAWorley

For your imaginative pleasure while reading this story, please refer to the pictures on the blog made especially for this story:



I will be posting most of the pics on this site from now on, and will link to it in the authors note when new pics are added for new chapters. (P.S. Some of the pics I have made of Draco/Harry as Durmstrang students will blow your mind, lol.

15. Durmstrang Institute for the Magically Gifted by JAWorley [Reviews - 33] (4514 words)

Ok, so I was waiting for my other two betas to read it and get back to me, but they never did, so here it is anyway. Yes, it is self-indulgent (to that reviewer who said that and never said how), but as I am reminded by others here on P and S, all fan fiction is, so enjoy my self indulgent little story.

Also, again, please bare in mind that I have never been to Norway, so I don't know what it's like there. All I can do is research online (which I have) and try to incorporate customs I read about. Also know that students at Durmstrang are from many other countries aside from Norway, so there will be a mixing of cultures.

That being said, read on. (Also keep in mind these are two teenage boys we are reading about here, and they can be immature, as you'll see).
