    I searched and I searched and I still haven't found any decent fic with any of them in a main role. The closest I got was We All Fall After the Yule, in which Katie got sidetracked pretty quickly.

    I'm game with any story involving at least one of them and is decent. If Harry is the other lead, even better. They are such a big part of Harry's life, and the only thing we know about them is that 'they are girls that play quidditch'.

    Edit: Edited to something bearable after Oz's post.

    Harry believed he was alone. He wasn't. A gathering of great minds was all he needed, and whether this was Dumbledore’s wish or not, it was what had to be done in order to gain sure footing before the coming war. HarryAngelina Romance. Mature content.

    I like to think I can, but I'm on my motherfucking stupid phone and sick, so it's hard.

    And now I'm too embarrassed to re-read my post and coorrect it. But I will do it.

    It's been a long time since I read it, but I remember loving this fic. It's a shame the author - who's a DLPer - never finished it.

    EDIT: Fuck me sideways, it's been almost seven years since this updated. What the actual fuck. I feel so old right now.

    Most teams of this nature are pretty tight.

    The Slytherin team is probably the exception given the general demeanor of their house and the fact that at least one person essentially bought their way onto the team.

    EDIT:

    I PM'ed the author last year and asked about it. She said she'd basically lost interest in HP fandom.
    It's too bad, because I liked the story a lot. It was the first time I ever saw someone attempt that pairing.

    they played together for 4-5 years. Shared meals and a common room, and even won competitions. In my personal experience doing that for 3 months already makes you pretty tight, imagine 4-5 years. And like Harry said, he love Quidditch above everything he did and was really good at it.

    And they are children, not professional players who see it like a job and mostly don't expect to do it for the love of the team. So ueah, if they are anything like any teen I met, they are pretty damn close, and regardless, they played a huge part in Harry's life.


    I figured from all the Doctor Who, it seems like a pretty good stiry from what I read, and an interesting pairing. Going to give it a shot.


    I have read Harry Potter and the Unlocked Knowledge, but it's been a long time and I only remember the Tom part, and maybe Katie? Going to re-read it anyway.

    Edit: After reading the author posts here in DLP I'm pretty sure that we did that, make her lose interest in HP. Especially Don.

    Damn, I have such a hard-on for fics with the Original Gryffindor Quidditch Team(capitals not optional).

    Those exchanges might have contributed a little bit, but she gave me the impression that it was more her getting interested in other fandoms, so HP just got pushed to the back of the line.

    I suspect RL also had something to do with it since she disappeared, completely, for three years.

    It's post-Hogwarts and not-complete, but I remember reading this and liking certain parts of it. I don't remember liking it as much as Lessons.
    YMMV.

    True , true. I sure hope so, would hate that this site made a competent writer give up on HP. Huh, one with Angelina, one with Katie and now one with Alicia. Interedting. Thanks.

    Funny thing is that I actually read this last week. I hadn't even heard of this fic until I did a random character search, but then I saw it was in the DLP library. It's a decent timewaster, and I think it has held up better than most 7 year old fics.
