A/N: OK. I wanted to get a whole bunch of HP fics up here, but haven't had time to write past the first chapters of each, so I've put them up just to say "see? I started them before Deathly Hallows came out!" I try to stick to canon as much as possible, but all my stories tend to skew off into and AU direction. You have been warned!! Starts at the end of Half Blood Prince. WARNING: LITERAL AU!!

Eden Lily Potter sat up in her bed and sighed. She wasn't having any luck in trying to fall asleep. Everytime she closed her eyes, Dumbledore's death kept replaying in her mind.
"Argh!" she said, louder than she had intended. Her godfather and legal guardian Sirius Black poked his head around the door a few minutes later.
"Eden? You OK? Your scar's not hurting, is it?"
"No. I just can't seem to sleep."
Sirius came into the room and sat on the edge of her bed. "Dumbledore again?" he asked sympathetically.
"Yeah. I am so gonna kill Snape!" she hissed. Sirius let out a weak chuckle.
"Leave Snape to me," he said mirthlessly. "Just concentrate on getting rid of Voldemort, OK?"
"Yeah." Eden flopped back onto her bed and stared up at the ceiling, not really seeing anything, but somehow not wanting to look at Sirius.
"I've got some potion for a dreamless sleep," he said quietly. "Would that help?"
She flashed him an appreciative grin, and he got up and left. He returned not long after and watched as she poured the potion into a goblet.
"The male Weasley's will be here in the morning," he reminded her. "Fleur and Molly have finally kicked them out to prepare for the wedding."
"Cool," she said as she prepared to drink. "I've been wanting to play Seeker against Charlie again for a while." She gulped down the potion in a most unlady-like manner and was almost instantly asleep.
