It was talked about like a really big deal, and that it dealt a blow towards the Controlled Digital Lending-scheme. IA also had to remove 500k books. But how is Internet Archive able to keep continuing lending out many books as they were before? What were the real consequences of Hachette v. Internet Archive?

This might be the end of Libby/Hoopla/Boundless for a lot of smaller library systems. :(

I’m trying to find a book on AO3 that I accidentally closed the tab on.

It starts out where Harry saves Dudley from the dementors and he has to go to court for underage magic right before 5th year.

Sirius saves Harrison and blood adopts him. Harrison learns about his heritage. Eventually at court Harrison uses what he learns to free Sirius.

The last part I read Sirius calls for the wizard council to fix the ministry after Harry gets detention with the blood quill.

The council changes DADA to a different class with Remus as teacher.

Could you please help me by posting name or link?

I just got my first ereader, and am wondering if anyone has suggestions as to where I can purchase books but also download them (.epub, etc) after purchasing. I want to support the authors, but I also want to actually own the thing I'm paying for. Is ebooks.com a good option?

I just finished reading Roadside Picnic for the first time and came across this blog post that I wholeheartedly agree with. Obviously the title is a little bold, but the body lays out a really strong argument for the beauty of this novel.

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone had any recs where JKR's magic system get's rewritten.

I read "Lily's Boy" a few months ago and cannot stop thinking about cool magic system. I have also read "Eagle's Nest", which also had really amazing magic/Hogwarts exploration.

I'm not necessarily looking for time travel, as I know there are a few fics about that.

I would probably prefer it to be about Golden Trio or Marauders.

As far as pairings go, I am pretty open to any.

Also, I love a longggg fic, so hit me with your recommendations!

Thanks!!!

The only thing that I remember is that Hogwarts taught the arts of concealment and assassination.

Hermione was the MC. and Snape was her mentor.

Iirc, it was located on FFN.

He's so annoying and so full of himself. I honestly can't stand him when he's on screen.

I honestly would have preferred Emma to have stayed single than to have him as a boyfriend.

The insinuation that he got women drunk to sleep with them was also pretty disgusting.

I'm sure it was on ao3 - Hermione is a Malfoy that was kidnapped (but presumed dead) as a child.

Sirius Black was her Godfather, and could feel that she was still alive, but wasn't believed, and her going missing, and assumed dead, is what drives Lucius to stay with the death eaters and becomes the man he is.

Cold, unforgiving.

I'm sure it was a Theomione :)

Also open to other Hermione is a Malfoy fics but that one I've lost and really want to reread

Just read the first 9 chapters of "The Menagerie" by ApollinaV over at FFN.

Posted in 2015. It is apparently incomplete.

Anyone happened to stumble upon a complete version elsewhere?

Tried to look for it in a few other archives but to no avail.

ApollinaV if you're reading this - Hogwarts remains dry!

Harry found out that Ron, Dumbledore, Ginny and Molly were cheating him, and he feeds a potion that weakens magic, eventually turning the wizard weaker and to a squib to dumbledore.

He doesn't do it himself.

But, I forgot who was helping him.

This potion is fed to Dumbledore by lacing his lemon drops candy.

Please help me.

I just know that this was posted in fanfiction.com.

'Name?'

'Thaddeus Paddington the sixth' Dean replied.

"Did you check that one Cassius Julius?' She whispered.

'Aye.. I mean Yes Inquisitor.' Seamus (wearing a fake beard) replied in a posh oxford accent.

'Are you reeealllly sure, Cassius?'

(In a high born accent) 'Are you questioning the most noble house of Julius Inquisitor?'

'Heavens no. It's just that he looks familiar somehow' she replied squinting at Dean's face.

Dean nervously fingered the fake mole and fake moustache on his face.

'Let's bring in an expert.' Umbridge said. 'Mr Bartholomew Reginald Pemberton-Winslow could you come in for minute?

Fred Weasley entered the room with a comically large tophat, eye patch and monocle.

(Obnoxious Posh Upper class Accent) ' I was just.. er counting all my money like rich people like to do in the morning . How can I help you - Ah Mr Thaddeus how is your most noble father?'

Dean grinned.

Sorting Hat: “Let’s see here… Oh my, you’re a time traveler!”

Harry's eyes widened. How do you know that?

“It’s all here, inside your head. Oh, don’t be so surprised. Occlumency doesn’t work against me, I was created by Godric Gryffindor himself!”

Harry tensed. Are you going to tell Dumbledore?

“No, no, not at all. My job is to sort people, not reveal their secrets.”

Harry let out a sigh of relief.

“So, you went back in time to get your revenge on Dumbledore, did you?”

He raised me like a pig for slaughter. I’m going to make him pay.

“And… You want to date Daphne Greengrass?”

I have to marry her, to secure an alliance with the Grey faction.

“Merlin’s beard, she’s only 11 years old!” 

So am I!

“No, Mr. Potter, you are an adult in an 11-year old body.”

Look, I don’t need to hear this from you. Just sort me already.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Potter. I know just what to do with you. Better be… AZKABAN!”

I'm very interested in seeing this story translated to a screen and wow the art work shown off here is incredible.
