Ron Weasley insults his friends and his House and ehds up punched as a result.
There is an attempt to put him on Quidditch team, but Harry refused because he feels it's unfair to make an exception for him. Professor Sprout completely agrees (she wasn't the one who wanted him on a team).
Neville ends up spending more time with badgers than his own house.

 

Are there any good vampire stories? The last I read that could sort of qualify for that was Forever Knight, which had a cool premise but honestly sucked in execution.

 

No.

 

Try Miranda Flairgold

 

I did need inspiration for my slutty vampire halloween costume.

 

Ah Miranda "If only I throw literally everything including the kitchen sink at my story it can't possibly be bad" Flairgold. I think the part that really cinched it is when an entire replica of the Earth was created to escape the apocalypse, pure batshit insanity.

 

I am looking for a copy of the Xander Harris and The Shadow Council by Tenhawk. I can't find it for some weird reason. The links we have looks dead to me.

It is the story where Xander's parents (From BTVS) is actually Squibs but Xander does get invited to Salem school of magic only for some alchemy experiment to blow up the school(and create Volcano) so he gets send to Hogwarts as exchange student alongside of Wednesday Adams.

 

I assume that you’ve checked his website?

 

Can't get to it. I don't know if it is me or the site.

Edit: NVM wayback machine has it. I forgot to check that.

 

So I have no idea about any of the rest of the story, if it was finished, any good, or just a short...

But does anyone remember the story where Flamel's published the instructions on how to brew the elixir of life, in full. The only problem is that step 1 is something along the lines of "take your philosopher's stone, and boil it"?

This makes the instructions worthless, because nobody else has one.

 

That looks real familiar. I am 100% sure I read that story but have no clue where.
