A community celebrating stories which have created an elaborate world or culture that Jo teased in Harry Potter. Stories often revolve around Harry and focus on politics, military, and/or pureblooded society. (I focus on three elements - world-building, writing, and plot. Sometimes a story may suffer in one or two but excel in the other.) If you're interested in being a staff member, PM me. Help would be appreciated. |

Black Sky by Umei no Mai reviews
When you're a Black, you're a Black and nobody gets to hold all the cards except you. Not a Dark Lord with a grudge, not a Headmaster with a prophecy and certainly not the world's most influential Mafia Family... Dorea is as much a Black as a Potter and she is not about to let anybody walk over her! A Fem!Harry story. Slow Build.

Unexpected by Comet360 reviews
Expectations are funny things as the Wizarding world learns when introduced to a Harry that has inherited James' confidence and Lily's charm and a complete disregard to anything that doesn't affect him. Who cares about rocks and stuttering professors when they've got dragons and godfathers who didn't wait thirteen years to break out of prison to play with?
