Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, ya'll should have this down by now!
Just a small reminder- These stories are not strictly canon nor do they go in any order. I write what I feel best suits the chapter. If you don't like the pairing, oh well. I will only be updating one chapter a day now, yesterday got 3 because I was 3 days behind. I'm caught up today. If you read it maybe you'll end up liking it (the pairing I mean).
So sorry this took so long to post. It took forever to write but it was super fun. I liked writing these. Merry Christmas to those over in the East and to those of you who are still anxiously awaiting Christmas in the West- Merry Christmas Adam. If you're wondering what that means let me explain: It's Christmas 'Eve', but Adam was here before Eve. He doesn't get enought credit. This is just a joke, if you take offense I'm sorry, but I'm Christian and I find it utterly hilarious, so whatever floats your boat. Anyway, I guess I'll leave you to enjoy the story. ~May

DARK ARTS OR RUMOR?
By Shelby Kuntz
Recently it has come to light that a dark wizard by the name of Lord Voldemort is gaining power and followers, dark times are supposedly being pressed up on us. The ministry assures that these rumors are exactly that, rumors. The minister, Robert Lightwood, swears that Lord Voldemort is just a fake name in hopes of striking a bit of fear into the people. Should citizens of the wizarding community be scared? Of course not, none of this even matters.
BLACK FAMILY TRAUMA
By Shelby Kuntz
As sources announce recently, a great tragedy has struck the most ancient and noble house of the Black family. It was found that Regulus Black, the Black's youngest son was killed by the notorious Death Eaters who are supposed followers of Lord Voldemort. Sirius Black, the eldest son, was reported to have run away from the family several years earlier. Does this mean the end of the Black line?
MURDER IN GODRIC'S HOLLOW
By Shelby Kuntz
You-know-who, the notorious cold blooded killer seems to be gone for good. What is the answer behind his sudden disappearance? It can only be linked with the one thing that happened the same night. James and Lily Potter, residents of Godric's Hollow were found dead in their home by Sirius Black, a childhood friend of James and Lily. Their son Harry, the only survivor of the attack, was taken from their home and taken to the muggle world. Where he resides no one but few know and none are willing to talk. After the attack He-who-must-not-be-named was reportedly gone, he is expected to be dead, but many pass rumors that he is only biding his time. Whether or not you-know-who is still alive or not is unknown. This same night, Sirius Black (a supposed Death Eater), was found to have killed one of his childhood friends Peter Pettigrew. It was only a town over from where Pettigrew was said to be living, apparently it was Black who gave over the Potter's location to he-who-must-not-be-named. Whether or not Black did kill the Potter's or not (indirectly of course) is still unknown. Many murders happened tonight, but the wizarding community is quickly changing from the effects this dark time has pressed upon us.
HARRY POTTER TO ATTEND HOGWARTS
By Isis Lomona
It is widely known that Harry Potter, now supposedly age eleven, will attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is unknown if this year is the year he will start Hogwarts but rumors have been traveling around the wizarding community like wildfire. Hopefully Harry will leave a lasting impression on the great school.
VOLDEMORT GONE FOR GOOD
By Hannah Abbott
I was of course at The Battle of Hogwarts myself, but nothing of my account will compare to that of Harry Potter. Harry would not answer reporter's questions as they began to flood the scene soon after the defeat of Lord Voldemort. Harry was standing with his two accomplices Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley. The trio tried to run from reporters, but eventually answered very minimal questions as to where they had been for the last year. Harry stated: "We had certain things to take care of before defeating Voldemort was possible." Ronald was then very rude and yelled at the crowd, "And that's all you're going to get, so sod off!" Harry was then joined by the Weasley's youngest and only daughter Ginevra Weasley, the four then walked off and the reporters were kept away by a serious guard composing of new Headmistress Minerva McGonagall, Molly Weasley, Arthur Weasley, and many other supposed order members.
The questions still stand: What did Harry Potter do to defeat the dark wizard Lord Voldemort? What happened in the Forbidden Forest? How did Harry Potter survive? Is Harry an eligible bachelor? Why did he disappear for a year? What drove him to break into Gringotts Wizarding Bank? All of these questions and more will have to wait for a later date and time. In the mean time, here is a picture of Voldemort's dead body (pictured right).
HARRY POTTER AND GIRLFRIEND?
By Hannah Abbott
Not a week after Lord Voldemort's defeat Harry Potter was spotted in Diagon Alley. He was walking down the street laughing and talking with Ginevra (Ginny) Weasley, they were holding hands and looked almost like a couple. When Harry was asked about it he stated: "Ginny is my girlfriend, I love her, so no need to get your knickers in a twist." He then entered Gringotts with his girlfriend in tow, she was giggling along, surely laughing in the many reporters shocked faces. After an hour the couple re-entered the streets, treated the reporters to a heated kiss (pictured left) and then disapparated, probably to Harry Potter's current residence with the Weasley's.
HARRY POTTER ENGAGED, OR IS ANOTHER SUITOR TAKING HIS GIRL?
By Hannah Abbott
Today Ginny Weasley was spotted walking down Diagon's Alley. A witness said they saw a diamond ring on her finger as she walked into Madam Malkins. Ginny later came out of the same shop carrying a large black dress bag, her mother following close behind her and talking of wedding plans. Hermione Granger was also spotted with the two women carrying a bag similar to Ginny's though not nearly as large. Ginny seemed to be tolerating her mother as they walked to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes which her older brother owns. The three never returned and reporters believe they flooed home from George Weasley's flat above the shop. When Harry Potter and best friend were spotted later walking into Madam Malkins they were questioned about whether Harry was indeed marrying Ginny or not. Harry responded with a very firm yes, a large grin plastered on his face. Ronald Weasley proudly stated that he was dating the third Golden Trio member Hermione Granger, but that wasn't nearly as interesting as Harry and Ginny being engaged. Not even close.
POTTER WEDDING, A SMALL EVENT
By Hannah Abbott
Despite the large number that wanted to attend Harry Potter's wedding few were allowed in. I being one of those few seeing as I was one of Harry's friends back in school. It was only for friends and family, after about an hour of the beautiful reception (at which there were floating lightning scar lanterns) the newly wedded couple left for their Honeymoon, location un-disclosed as they wish to not be hassled on such an important trip.
POTTER BABY ON ITS WAY?
By Hannah Abbott
Harry and Ginny Potter were seen walking down the streets of Diagon Alley to Florean Foretescue's Ice-Cream Parlor, the couple was very adorable as always but something suspicious about them arose during this sighting. Harry Potter seemed overly protective of his wife in the crowded streets; a noticeable bump seemed to be centered at Ginny's stomach. Whether or not this is a Potter baby on the way or just Ginny putting on weight, the wizarding community will have to wait for more news.
HARRY POTTER A NEW DAD
By Hannah Abbott
It was publically released today that Harry Potter and wife Ginny received their first child. Harry was seen rushing his wife to St. Mungo's where they were immediately cared for. Several hours later, as the anxious Weasley Family waited for news of Ginny's health Harry emerged from a secluded room with a small bundle wrapped in his arms. The excited family crowded around Harry and his new child, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger were the first ones to him, they were holding hands and a ring glittered on Hermione's ring finger. The couple is now apparently engaged, though this news is still not nearly as exciting as the announcement of Harry's first child. Harry told reporters that their new son is named James Sirius Potter after Harry's late father and godfather. Will this child be as powerful as his father? Only time will tell.
A MALFOY AND A WEASLEY?
By Lysander Scamander
It was announced earlier this week that Scorpius Malfoy, son of Draco Malfoy Death Eater in the Second Wizarding War against Lord Voldemort, was engaged to Rose Weasley, daughter of war heroes and members of the Golden Trio Ronald and Hermione Weasley. This is the first time in living memory that a Weasley and a Malfoy have been united, it is a well known fact that Ron Weasley and Harry Potter were enemies of Draco Malfoy in school, Draco was also reported calling Hermione a "mudblood" on several occasions. It seems the two families will have to put aside their differences in light of the situation.
"Oh, so they finally do an article on me where my life is 'interesting'." Ron snorted as the family poured over old Daily Prophet's in a scrapbook made lovingly by Ginny.
"What's even funnier about that article is the fact that they found a way to squeeze my name into it." Harry pointed out as Ginny looked at the small moving picture of Harry holding James for the first time.
"I hate you." Ron mumbled earning a small hit on the shoulder from Hermione.
"Ron!" She scolded.
"Come on Hermione, there was never once an article about you and me. They were still more interested in Harry, they were even more interested in Ginny!" Ron complained.
"My fame came from Harry, so really it was all Harry." Ginny said resting her head on Harry's chest.
"You're not really helping the situation Ginny," Ron growled. The adults began to laugh at the simplicity of the whole situation. It was great being friends, especially with the Golden Trio.
