First off: can it be October already, please? I want McGonagall's backstory yesterday, at the latest.
Secondly, this October launch will seriously - and I mean seriousl - endanger my sucess rate at Grad School. I wish I was kidding. We all know I'm not. I'll spen my night going through Pottermore, hoovering up every last morsel of background information.
Thirdly, for better or worse, I will get myself sorted and then bear my house as JKR saw fit for me. I can only hope I'm a Ravenclaw XD
Finally:
Fic. I need some. Good one. All this Pottermore hooplah has stoked an appetite that has lain dormant for a long time.
So: please shoot me some recommendations. no AU, plz, but missing moments and 19 years or post-epilogue very welcome. No point in linking me to anything on checkmated, If it's on checkmated, I'll know it.
For heaven's sake, please help a nerd out D:

I'd have more, but lately I've been favoring AU's and pre-DH classics.
They do Ron and Hermione justice. <3
Man, if I'm not in Slytherin, it'll be like the last decade of my life has been a lie.
. . . if I don't get into Gryffindor I'll cry.
Also if you're bored love, my fics are posted here and on SimplyUndeniable.com under the author name UnrequitedDream. They're long delayed WIP that I am thinking of picking up.
