hogwarts Harry Potter: Foolish Wand-Waving

I blame Prisoner of Azkaban for making the Harry Potter books an addiction. Before then I could take them or leave them. I swear. Stories containing DH spoilers are marked as such.

Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling owns them. I don't.

Warning: Many of these stories are slash, i.e., deal with homosexual relationships. Stories marked "NC-17" contain explicit sex. If either one offends you, or is illegal for you to read, please go read something else.
