Everyone loves a good oneshot. They're quick reads that give you a nice snapshot into the character's world. A story told all at once and with no long waits or cliffhangers. Here are some of the better oneshots (and twoshots and the like) I've found, all with interesting storylines and mostly good grammar, spelling, and structure. They vary from het and slash and no pairings, but no incest, prominent non-con, and only a smattering of crossgen. |

The Elite by Adari reviews
Why did Harry Potter nod in greeting to Draco Malfoy when he saw the man on the platform 19 years later? Ron and Hermione were clearly not on such terms with the man. What secret did the two men share from even their own families?

Ginny's Decision by Epeefencer reviews
My take on what should have happened when Harry broke things off with Ginny at Dumbledore's funeral. She isn't the accepting, passive Ginny from the books.

The Lost Summer by Belcris reviews
Harry won the war! So, why is he sitting all alone at Grimmauld Place while everyone else is off celebrating, or planning his life? Well, maybe it's time our hero took a little vacation and enjoyed the lost summer.

Girl Talk by sprinter1988 reviews

What could have been by Eternal Payne reviews
The problem with prophecies, is that the are immensely vague... My own take on the 'Dumbledore is the real Dark Lord' plotline. Hopefully in canon and currently a Oneshot!

Harry Potter and the Connection Reversed by hermyd reviews
"Clear your mind!" wasn't actually the best advice. Harry is fed up and takes things into his own hands and discovers a way to end the war on his own terms. No one was expecting this of the Gryffindor Golden Boy.

As Good as Mine by Lucillia reviews
What if there was a good reason for why Molly had steered her brood over to Harry at the King's Cross station and started treating Harry as if he were her own child without consulting him first?

Magical Contracts by Kalen Darkmoon reviews
In Goblet of Fire, JKR established that it was absurdly easy to bind other witches and wizards unwillingly into binding magical contracts with a simple, school-taught 'confundus' charm. What if Harry took note of that and decided to do something about it?
