Title: The Death of Narcissa Black: A Potion
Author/Artist: Molly

Notes: Gorgeous HBP fic, mostly movie-inspired.Title: Ouroboros
Author: tkp

Summary: AU after OoTP, a few HBP details. An obsessed, grieving Harry has decided on a dangerous way to defeat Voldemort. Snape is paying closer attention than before, but his contempt for Harry blinds him. Eventual Snape as Harry's guardian story. Complete.
