Summary
No one likes that dragons went extinct. No one likes that dodos are extinct either. Or passenger pigeons. Or Tasmanian Tigers. Or Wooly Mammoths or anything else further back.
But some people can’t drop it.
No one knows the exact date. It was pre-camera, the late seventeenth century is the best bet. Every year some crazy person claims to have seen a dragon in the woods, and inevitably it always ends up being a bear, or a rock, or a weird looking tree.
In the past 20 years, over 300 works of art having to do with dragons have been reported stolen. Some from private collections, some from museums. A lot of them paintings cut out of their frames with what appears to be a small knife. Skeletons, carved dragon-ivory knick knacks. Notably, a suit of medieval armor which appeared to be fireproofed with dragon scales.
All of it gone. None of it ever seen again.

Summary
Marlene McKinnon is a mess. She can’t sleep, she’s almost certainly going to fail all her NEWTs, and she’s 99% sure that if they don’t win the Quidditch Cup this year James Potter will throw himself headfirst off the Astronomy Tower. On top of all that, there’s a war on, yet their professors seem determined to pretend that the biggest problem any of them are facing is finding a Ministry internship. Marlene’s final year at Hogwarts has barely started, and she’s already pretty sure it couldn’t get any worse—that is, until she shows up for her first Potions class and hears the assignment.
///
Dorcas Meadowes is a stone-cold bitch. At least, that’s what everyone says. She doesn’t need well-meaning professors or overeager classmates or teammates or boyfriends or friends. She doesn’t need anything except to be left alone, the way she likes, until the day she finally leaves school. And she certainly doesn’t need Marlene McKinnon, with her sharp tongue and her snorting laugh and her stupid shiny hair, who seems intent on ruining everything that Dorcas has been working towards for the past two years.PLEASE DON'T POST MY FICS ON GOODREADS/STORYGRAPHS/ETC.

Summary
He's a Mage, One of Nine, Last of His Line. She's a foot soldier, one of far too many in this war waged by far too few, but at one point he was just Potter and she was just Evans and things were good. That was before, though, and this is now. A decade has come and gone between before and now, a war has come and stayed between before and now, but the memory of her never left him. He remembers her and thinks she might remember him, too.
