42. Silencio

Harry strode down the sixth floor corridor. He was trying to relieve some stress because his final exams were creeping up slowly but surely. Letting down his bag, he sat on a bench.

He hadn’t noticed two Hufflepuff third year girls were verbosely talking about one of their roommates that had been caught passionately kissing a Ravenclaw boy down by the lake. The gossip was slowly irritating Harry more and more. Frustrated more than he would have if he had just stayed in the common room, Harry stood and walked off toward the Great Hall. “I need something to eat,” Harry thought.

But to his dismay, the girls seemed to have the same idea. By the time that they reached the third floor corridor, he was feed up with the girls. He turned, drawing his wand, “Silencio” He said pointing to one of the girls. The other girl protested, “Hey you cant do-” but Harry cut her off casting another Silencing Charm. “Finally,” Harry muttered as he strode off toward Gryffindor tower, the details of the girls' conversation had made him lose his appetite.

32. Petrificus Totalus

“HARRY, DON’T,” Hermione yelled. Harry barely heard her and kept running down the dark corridor. The blood pulsed in his ears, and the sound of his footsteps echoed off the walls. His wand was out and he could only think of what he was after.

“HARRY,” Hermione kept yelling, “HARRY,” but it was no use Harry kept going, not listening of caring what she had to say.

“HARRY, listen to me.” Hermione screamed. “Well, if you’re not going to listen to me, Petrificus Totalus.” The spell erupted from Hermione’s wand and hit Harry square in the back. Harry’s body bound to itself and Harry hit the floor face first.

Hermione caught up with him quickly, and flipped him onto his back.
“Now you have to listen to me,” Hermione said desperately,
“Have you thought for a second about what you’re doing?” Hermione was in tears, “And I know it hurts, but we just have to-” With a flash of green light, Hermione was blasted backwards, dead. Harry felt his bind disappear but could not do anything, “Just another Mudblood.” The hooded man said as he emerged from the shadows.

In the spirit of Valentine's Day
31. Orchideous

Harry glanced at his watch; it showed that it was almost seven. Harry could not think of a time when he was more nervous. He began to rush; he set the radio so it would play soft romantic music in the background. He quickly scooped the pasta into two bowls, poured two glasses of wine, tossed the salad, and placed it all on the table. “I want this night to be perfect,” Harry said to himself. He lowered the lights, then flicked out his wand, lighting a candle on the table. “Orchideous,” He spoke and two flowers appeared, landing in the vase already on the table.

There was a knock on the door, Harry turned, smoothing out his shirt. “Can I come in,” Ginny’s voice could be heard on the other side of the door. “Orchideous,” Harry said conjuring three dozen roses, and then pocketed his wand. He unbolted the door, and their stood Ginny in her nicest purple satin dress. Stepping into the room, Ginny was amazed at all that Harry had done.

“Happy Valentine’s Day,” Harry said softly.
"I hope you like-” Harry continued, before Ginny caught him in a kiss. “It’s perfect,” she said, her eyes twinkling.

3. Braking Charm

“Thank You, Thank You so much!” Lily exclaimed throwing her arms around her parents. Harry had known that Lily had wanted a broomstick by the way she had watched her older brothers play Quidditch. Lily had completely forgotten her other gifts, which left unnoticed in a pile on the table. She jumped up running toward the door.

“Hold it right there, Lily Luna Potter,” Ginny’s voice was tense but firm. She was outraged that Harry had purchased a broom for Lily without talking to her about it. “We need to set some rules first.”

“Ginny,” Harry said, “It will be fine, it is the best broom there is the Firebolt 2500, I bought it at Quality Quidditch Supplies. It has superb balance, turning acceleration, and it’s equipped with the newest and best Braking Charm. And we are only going into the back yard.”

“Ok then, but be careful," Ginny said, but the rest of the Potter family was already out the door.

Harry watched with pride as Lily pushed off the ground and flew with ease. James and Albus watched sulkily for they only had matching Firebolt 2250s, but Lily hardly noticed as she enjoyed her first solo broom ride.

15.Hurling Hex

Harry grinned, “Thank you, thank you very much,” he said. Harry set his broom down as a surge of fans thrust pictures at him to autograph. Harry placed the snitch that helped seal his team’s victory into his pocket. Harry grabbed a quill and began to sign autographs. Harry’s team was off to the Quidditch World Cup. Harry, nor anyone else, took notice that a man dressed in a dark gray robe had drawn his wand and placed a spell on Harry’s broom

Harry was nervous. It was his first appearance in the Quidditch World Cup, and looking around he could tell that his teammates were equally nervous. They felt the stadium shake as applause erupted as the other team flew out onto the pitch. Harry grabbed his broom, and on cue the seven players mounted their brooms zoomed out onto the pitch. The game began, but Harry didn’t even see the first goal scored.

Harry awoke several people huddled around him.
“What happened?” Harry mumbled.
Harry could barely hear Ron’s response “Someone placed a Hurling Hex on your broom, mate.”
“But the game,” Harry muttered.
“We’re sorry but your team forfeited after your fall,” Ginny said sadly.

28. Nox

Wands lit, Harry and Ginny were walking up a hill. It was Ginny’s birthday, and they had decided to take a moon-lit walk, after their romantic dinner. The moon was unfortunately not out tonight, because of the clouds, so the pair used their wands so that they could see. They made it to a tree and decided to sit under it for a while. “Nox,” they both whispered, their lights extinguishing. Harry took Ginny in his arms as they talked about was going on in their lives. When they we’re done talking they just lay next to each other content with their lives. It was getting late and they decided that they needed to head for home. Stretching, they stood up and apparated home.

Two nights later Harry realized how much he loved Ginny.

“Where are we going?” Ginny, who was blind folded, asked for the third time. “You’ll see,” Harry responded.
They reached the top of the hill, “Nox” he said, so that they were only under the light of the moon.
Removing Ginny’s blindfold, Harry got on one knee. Holding out a ring, Harry asked “Will you marry me?”
“Yes” Ginny responded, tears falling from her eyes.

39. Sectumsempra

Harry was flying on a peaceful night. He was heading to Ron and Hermione’s house, where he had been invited for dinner. Nothing seemed to be wrong, and Harry’s life had been normal, or as normal as wizard’s life could be, for quite some time now. He glanced at his watch, to find that he was running late, which he seemed to be doing quite often nowadays.

Looking up from his watch, he saw three flashes of red sparks quickly followed by the Dark Mark. Harry laid himself flat on his broom and zipped forward. With a loud thump, Harry landed in front of his friend’s house, the bright green light emitted from the Dark Mark above.

Harry flung through the door, wand ready, but no one in sight. He passed through the kitchen, to the hallway. Ron’s body lay unmoving in the hall, a shattered picture frame on top of him. Harry rushed into the bedroom; Hermione lay next to the bed, her wand clutched in her lifeless grasp.

“Hello, Potter” said a voice, “Remember me? Sectumsempra” Harry felt the deep pain as the spell hit; Harry caught a glimpse of Malfoy leaving, before passing out.

26. Morsmordre

Harry stood looking down, his green eyes twinkling under the stars. An autumn breeze flowed through his long black cloak. On the ground lay three bodies, not yet cold or rigid by death. Harry let out a small chuckle, “They were useless anyway.” Harry raised his wand from the lifeless bodies to the sky. “Morsmordre,” he spoke in a strong harsh voice, and the Dark Mark appeared glowing in the cloudless sky. As he had cast the spell, the left sleeve of robe had fallen back revealing the mark, similar to the one that was above him.

Harry knew that the Aurors would soon be here, wondering if it was the same person who had committed the wave of murders in the past few weeks. Harry knew they would never think of him, after all he was the boy who lived. He looked at the bodies with his slightly snake like eyes and with a faint “pop,” Harry disapperated.

In the next second, seven Aurors, including Hermione apparated, wands raised, in the very same spot that Harry had been standing. “We missed them again,” Hermione, head of the Auror department, muttered angrily, frustrated that their murderer had gotten away.

35. Quietus

There was a light mist drizzling from the sky, as Harry walked onto the Quidditch pitch, broom in hand. The crowd was roaring in support of their team. The crowds had a quite obvious division of Slytherin and Gryffindor supporters.

But unlike all the other times that he had been at the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch, Harry was not wearing his scarlet and gold robes. Today he was wearing the robes of the referee because he had become, after a great number of years as an auror, the flying professor at Hogwarts.

Harry watched as the fourteen players flew into the pitch. As they circled around him, Harry set down the ball crate and released the snitch and bludgers.

Harry’s voice boomed over all the pitch and the grounds, “Welcome to the first match of the term, Slytherin versus Gryffindor.” The crowd erupted with applause and screams.

Harry pointed his wand at his throat “Quietus” he said, allowing his voice to return to its regular volume. “I want a clean game from both teams,” Harry said, “Captains, shake hands.”

After all the players were in position, Harry threw the Quaffle into the air and the match began.

20. Knitting Charm

Harry and Ginny were relaxing in the large armchairs that some what resembled the armchairs that two of their children were probably sitting in at that very moment. With James, Albus and Lily, all at Hogwarts, Harry and Ginny were enjoying a quite evening together. The fire blazed from within the fireplace, and they both were sipping some coffee.

The pair talked about the goings on in their lives as three sets of knitting needles clicked away. Ginny, like her mother before her, had picked up knitting and rather enjoyed it. She was only using the knitting charm because Christmas was not far off and she needed to finish before the holidays. The royal blue sweater largely contrasted with the two crimson sweaters.

Lily had been sorted into Ravenclaw despite her family being all Gryffindor students, but her brothers never made any joke about it because her superb mind would be able to belittle them in three seconds flat.

Harry sighed, “What’s wrong dear?” Ginny asked.

“I just wish Lily could have been in Gryffindor,” Harry said.

Ginny retorted, “Well she is partly named after a marvelous Ravenclaw, and you of all people should know, the sorting hat knows best."

14. Horn Tongue

Harry walked into Transfiguration, not caring what was going on in class. He was lost in his own thoughts, and his gloominess made it apparent to everyone that he just wanted to be alone with his thoughts. He slumped into his chair between Hermione and Ron. Harry knew they were glancing between themselves and him wondering what to say, but at that moment McGonagall shut the door and began the lesson.

Hermione began to get caught up in the lesson. Ron was pretending to pay attention to the lesson but seemed to be more interested in Hermione. Harry mindless flipped open his copy of Guide to Advanced Transfiguration and distracted by his own thoughts.

“Potter, What is the incantation for the Horn Tongue Charm?” McGonagall asked aware that Harry had not been paying attention.

“Well. Well…” Harry mumbled, trying to think of an answer.

“5 points from Gryffindor” McGonagall said with a sigh, “Now please pay attention.”

Harry looked over to see Malfoy and bunch of his Slytherin groupies snickering and pointing at his direction. And Harry wished he knew the Horn Tongue Charm just so he could use it on Malfoy and his little gang of Slytherins.

8. Diffindo

Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione entered the Annual Ball dressed in their finest dress robes. They were ready to have a joyous evening, when Malfoy walked up to them with Crabbe and Goyle following in their bodyguard like fashion.

“I’m surprised that you four would come here looking that” Malfoy sneered looking the four up and down, “I thought that you would know to wear quality robes to such an event.” He then strutted towards the drink table.

Ron grew red in the face, Harry and Hermione had to hold him back from trying to rip Malfoy apart. What Harry and Hermione had failed to recognize was the Ginny had whipped out her wand.

“Diffindo.” Ginny spoke, softly but firmly.

Malfoy’s clothes began to tear, leaving him standing in nothing but his underwear. Malfoy was shocked but strode toward Ginny taking out his wand.

“You might want to reconsider,” Harry spoke, making Malfoy realize that Harry, Ron and Hermione had their wands pointing at him.

“Keep your girlfriend in check,” Malfoy spat towards Harry.

Ginny hollered, “Malfoy, I thought you would have enough sense to come here in a little more then your skivvies,” and everyone burst into laughter.

46. Tergeo

Opening his glaze covered eyes, Harry realized he was being carried by what seemed like several people. Harry heard several voices that seemed dreamy and far away.

“At least he’s fairly light”
“Would you look at all that blood”
“I think he is coming to!”
“Let’s hurry”

Harry was being lowered.

“Oh my word, Tergeo, Tergeo, Tergeo. It’s not too terrible but he will have to spend the night here. Now I need all of you to leave.”

Harry heard the shuffling several people’s feet and the shutting of a door.


The next morning Harry woke up and reached out, putting his glasses on. Opening his eyes, he looked at himself to see several gashes on his arms and chest.

“Good your up, drink this.” Madam Pomfrey was shoving a glass liquid into his hands.

“What happened?” Harry muttered

“You were hexed to the point that you fell off your broomstick during Quidditch practice.” Madam Pomfrey said, cleaning him and making sure he drank the potion. She pointed her wand at a cut that had started to ooze blood, “Tergeo. Now you’re going to have to stay here a few days.”

Harry hated being stuck in the hospital wing.

50. Waddiwasi

Grunting, Harry moved his hand away from the doorknob, stretching the bright pink bubble gum along with it.

He had not realized that even in the Gryffindor common room people still enjoyed picking on him. He was being made a laughing stock not only in the wizarding world because of the Daily Prophet, but also at Hogwarts. In the past week, Harry had been tripped, had his book bag rip open, fallen in the restroom where someone has made the floor slippery, and several times placed his hand on a gum covered doorknob.

He turned toward a group of snickering 3rd years. They were not conspicuous about the fact that they were laughing at him.

“Waddiwasi,” Harry spoke pointing his wand at his hand then the doorknob. The gum clumped into four pink masses. Harry then pointed his wand toward the group of 3rd years, placing gum on each one of their heads without them noticing.

He then called out, “Hey guys you have something in your hair.”

They all pushed the gum onto their hands and hair, becoming angry. Harry didn’t see any of this because he had walked into his room, slamming the door behind him.

4. Blasting Curse

“Thank you, for you attention in this class, and remember that your foot of parchment on Red Caps is due next class.” Lupin spoke before releasing the class. “And also if you could bring objects that you wouldn’t mind being destroyed that would be great.”

While Harry and Ron waited for a minutes for Hermione to ask Professor Lupin a question, they wondered why they would need objects that they wouldn’t mind destroying.


Nodding as they entered Lupin said “Good, good,” He chuckled when he saw Hermione’s object of disdain.

“Today is a practical lesson, wands out!” Lupin spoke, continuing he said “You are going to learn the Blasting Curse.”

A ripple of excitement went through the students. Lupin placed what looked like the moon onto a podium, flicking his wand he spoke “Confringo” and the object exploded into tiny pieces.

Hermione placed her object Unfogging the Future on the podium and blasted the book to shreds with a large grin on her face. As Ron blasted a model spider to bits, other students were getting eager for their turn. Harry blasted a pair of the Dursley’s socks to pieces and joyously watched the others blast their objects.

16. Impedimenta

“Great,” Harry muttered. It was time for Quidditch try-outs and Harry was not looking forward to the number of people who were going to tryout just because he was captain. Just as he had expected there were was a large group waiting to tryout for the Gryffindor team.

Harry spoke harshly, “Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin and first year students leave now.” The size of the crowd diminished as those not able to tryout walked toward the castle.

After weeding out those who couldn’t fly at all, Harry had found a pretty set team: Ginny, Dean and Demelza as chasers, Ron as keeper and himself as seeker. Harry has yet to find any beaters.

“Ok, now we are going to hit bludgers.” Harry spoke. Harry let Robertson hit a bludger and was suprised as bludger went through the middle hoop with astonishing speed.


“IMPEDIMANTA” Harry yelled stopping a poorly hit bludger that was flying towards Ginny who was distracted.

Harry proceeded to use the Impediment jinx on bludgers that were poorly hit and flying towards himself and others. At the end of tryouts, Harry felt that he had found at least another mediocre beater, despite several near bludger bashings.

45. Tarantallegra
(a ficlet, kind of, continued from ficlet #12)

After Malfoy ran out of the hall, Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione made their way to the dance floor. While Harry, Ginny and Hermione started to dance, Ron just stood there.

“You guys look foolish” Ron said.

“At least we are having fun” Ginny and Hermione said simultaneously.

As the dance went on, Ron just stood despite Harry trying to persuade him to join in. Ginny leaned over to tell Hermione something over the roar of the Weird Sisters music. Hermione walked over to Ron and gave him a big hug, but Harry noticed she grabbed him wand out of his jacket on the process.

Wondering what was about to happen, Harry kept his mouth shut. Ginny pointed her wand at Ron’s feet and whispered “Tarantallegra.”

Ron began to dance wildly, and the other three began to snicker loudly. Realizing what had happened thrust his hand into his jacket and to his dismay found that his wand wasn’t there.

Harry, Hermione and Ginny then went over to get something to drink, leaving Ron dancing crazily by himself. After an hour, they returned to the dance floor and released the spell on Ron, who fell to the floor exhausted.

5. Colloportus

After a bad fight with Uncle Vernon, Harry stayed locked up in his room till Dudley’s birthday. Walking down the stairs, Harry heard Dudley complaining for the billionth time that he hadn’t gotten enough presents and his room needed to be filled with gifts.

“I can’t believe how spoiled he is” Harry muttered to himself.

Entering the kitchen, Harry grabbed a glass of water and some food.

“WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?” Dudley shouted, “My friends are going to be here soon for my party.”

As Harry chuckled, Dudley asked “What’s so blooding funny?”

Walking toward the stairs, Harry muttered “You don’t have any friends,” thinking that Dudley couldn’t hear him.

But Dudley heard and retorted in the ugliest manner, “At least Potter, I have parents and a family.”

Harry heard the door bell ring as he bounded up the stairs two at a time.

“This will show him,” he said pointing his wand at Dudley’s door “Colloportus.” When the door had sealed Harry spoke “Now you can’t enjoy any of you bloody presents.”


The next week, Uncle Vernon had to hire a repair man to take out and replace Dudley’s door, frame and adjacent part of the wall.
