Post-war. In which the slytherin princess and the golden girl of house gryffindor accidentally cross paths back at Hogwarts and get themselves into some unexpected trouble. Lady Malfoy (“It’s Black! Lady Black!”) maintains that a lady never runs, especially not a lady in dress robes… Great.

‘To get you in a romantic mood and spark some ideas for potential prompts, here is some inspiration in the form of romance novel covers and plots. With many thanks to @skeptiquewrites
What are your favourite romance novels? Do you know any particularly delicious cover art? Please share!
You can browse current prompts here. Prompting will end 2nd April.
Jack Turner grew up in the darkness of London’s slums, born into a life of crime and willing to do anything to keep his belly full and his siblings safe. Now he uses the tricks and schemes of the underworld to help those who need the kind of assistance only a scoundrel can provide. His distrust of the nobility runs deep and his services do not extend to the gorgeous high-born soldier who personifies everything Jack will never be.
A soldier untarnished by vice
After the chaos of war, Oliver Rivington craves the safe predictability of a gentleman’s life-one that doesn’t include sparring with a ne'er-do-well who flouts the law at every turn. But Jack tempts Oliver like no other man has before. Soon his yearning for the unapologetic criminal is only matched by Jack’s pleasure in watching his genteel polish crumble every time they’re together.
While her boss the prince was busy wooing his betrothed, Likotsi had her own love affair after swiping right on a dating app. But her romance had ended in heartbreak, and now, back in NYC again, she’s determined to rediscover her joy–so of course she runs into the woman who broke her heart.
When Likotsi and Fabiola meet again on a stalled subway train months later, Fab asks for just one cup of tea. Likotsi, hoping to know why she was unceremoniously dumped, agrees. Tea and food soon leads to them exploring the city together, and their past, with Fab slowly revealing why she let Likotsi go, and both of them wondering if they can turn this second chance into a happily ever after.
As Lucy Muchelney watches her ex-lover’s sham of a wedding, she wishes herself anywhere else. It isn’t until she finds a letter from the Countess of Moth, looking for someone to translate a groundbreaking French astronomy text, that she knows where to go. Showing up at the Countess’ London home, she hoped to find a challenge, not a woman who takes her breath away.
Catherine St Day looks forward to a quiet widowhood once her late husband’s scientific legacy is fulfilled. She expected to hand off the translation and wash her hands of the project—instead, she is intrigued by the young woman who turns up at her door, begging to be allowed to do the work, and she agrees to let Lucy stay. But as Catherine finds herself longing for Lucy, everything she believes about herself and her life is tested.
While Lucy spends her days interpreting the complicated French text, she spends her nights falling in love with the alluring Catherine. But sabotage and old wounds threaten to sever the threads that bind them. Can Lucy and Catherine find the strength to stay together or are they doomed to be star-crossed lovers?
Felix Love has never been in love—and, yes, he’s painfully aware of the irony. He desperately wants to know what it’s like and why it seems so easy for everyone but him to find someone. What’s worse is that, even though he is proud of his identity, Felix also secretly fears that he’s one marginalization too many—Black, queer, and transgender—to ever get his own happily-ever-after.
When an anonymous student begins sending him transphobic messages—after publicly posting Felix’s deadname alongside images of him before he transitioned—Felix comes up with a plan for revenge. What he didn’t count on: his catfish scenario landing him in a quasi–love triangle….
But as he navigates his complicated feelings, Felix begins a journey of questioning and self-discovery that helps redefine his most important relationship: how he feels about himself.
Luc O'Donnell is tangentially–and reluctantly–famous. His rock star parents split when he was young, and the father he’s never met spent the next twenty years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad’s making a comeback, Luc’s back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything.
To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice, normal relationship…and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He’s a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and he’s never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. In other words: perfect boyfriend material. Unfortunately apart from being gay, single, and really, really in need of a date for a big event, Luc and Oliver have nothing in common. So they strike a deal to be publicity-friendly (fake) boyfriends until the dust has settled. Then they can go their separate ways and pretend it never happened.
But the thing about fake-dating is that it can feel a lot like real-dating. And that’s when you get used to someone. Start falling for them. Don’t ever want to let them go.

I wrote this fic as part of @femmefest 2022 for the super talented @babooshkart who always makes such spectacular, lovely art. This story includes a PLETHORA of food pictures, cute kitties, and Ginny being flustered by a snarky Pansy in a maid outfit.
Summary:
After the war, Pansy works at a cat cafe in magical Chinatown. Ginny is their best customer. (Two completely unrelated events, of course)
Countdown (n.) a game show broadcast by Channel 4, where contestants try to make nine letter words from randomly selected letters. Pointless (n.) a BBC quiz show where contestants try to provide the lowest scoring answers on general knowledge questions. On the consequences of the Delacour-Tonks Quit Pact of 2009. Or, Fleur hates working and only wants to do trivia and solve puzzles.
Not all life changing events happen with a bang, nor are they a sudden shift in spiritual tectonics; it’s the little things, always. This is Tonks and Fleur’s story.
When Tonks meets Fleur for the first time, her nose is between goose and pig. Here they are, grown adults, members of the super-secret Order of the Phoenix, gathered around the kitchen table… ready to discuss war. Here Tonks should be, an experienced Auror, supposedly serious and scary (and maybe strikingly beautiful, too), bravely participating in a movement to save Wizarding Britain. Instead, here Tonks is, caught with her nose between goose and pig.
Front-woman of the band Orca Patrol, Tonks, has a very special kink she’s afraid to share with anyone. Along comes a stunningly gorgeous admirer and new biggest fan, Fleur Delacour, to help her fully explore her kink.
Fleur Delacour returns to Britain after the Triwizard Tournament to work for Gringotts and spy for the Order of the Phoenix. Then she falls in love with her Order contact.
I did a little comic for my dear friend @leilahmoon from her fic To the Moon. Ginny x Luna is one of my fave pairings so this was just so much fun!!! ❤️❤️
