Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
Story Rating:
A Year with Q, Chapter 34By the time February rolled around, the announcement boards in each of the houses, as well as the wall space within a two-metre diameter of them was plastered with artwork. There were paintings, pencil sketches, drawings using charcoal, coloured pencil, crayons and pastels and even some food art. Some of it was anonymous; some of it had the artist's name written in bold capital letters at the bottom. None of it was serious.
Voldilocks was a common theme among a lot it, students quickly having grown to like the nickname for the most powerful dark wizard of their time, but a few new names also cropped up, such as Vold-a-wart, Moldywart and the Evil Snake Man of Doom.
The Duck-Who-Lived was also featured in quite a few of the drawings, especially those of the muggleborns.
One fifth-year Hufflepuff even began to put out a weekly comic strip of the adventures of the Duck-Who-Lived and his sidekicks Tweety and Bugs. This resulted in numerous debates as to which one was supposed to Ron Weasley and which one was supposed to be Hermione Granger. When asked, the artist just smiled and shrugged.
Blaise, of course, was still the only artist who had managed to remain completely anonymous. Most artists either gave their pictures to friends from other houses or to one of the prefects to put up. Some went as far as venturing down into the dungeons themselves and knocking on the entrance to Slytherin House in order to ask if they could stick their artwork onto the wall.
As a result, more Gryffindors, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs entered Slytherin House within three weeks than in the previous three years. Many were surprised not to find an altar dedicated to the Dark Lord, or pictures of the Dark Mark or any other dark arts artefacts laying around the common room.
The Slytheirns found they enjoyed watching the expressions of those particular students. There was even some debate about whether or not they should build a shrine to the Dark Lord just for the fun of it. In the end, logic won out and the Slytherin Common Room remained shrine-free.
