Three Orphans by Spiderwort Rated: T-15 [Reviews - 5]
Summary: The second in the trilogy "Before the Beginning," which retails Minerva's second through seventh years at Hogwarts. She learns lots about herself, magic, Muggles, war, friendship, love, hatred, and--Quidditch.

In the first chapters of this book, I hope to delve further into some incompletely explained characters and theories of JKR's world of magic. To facilitate this, the story will be from many different POVs, a là George RR Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice.

The Envy of Us All by envy Rated: YA-13 [Reviews - 3]
Summary: The Envy of Us All starts when a young man, Cameron wakes to find he is alone. Juliana, the young widow who has raised him the last 11 years, is no where to be found. Cameron searches the small farm but is unable to find Juliana or her 3 daughters. A stranger, Xavier, appears and offers Cameron his help saying Lord Jenson has taken his adopted family. Lord Jenson was the last king and ruler. He was presumed dead after his most trusted friend betrayed and attacked him over 10 years ago. To this day, no one has taken his place on the throne. Leaderless, the people have turned to the elders who have advised each king for over a millennium and are thought to be immortal. Cameron is quick to learn that he is the son of Lord Jenson. Cameron has no memory of his life before Juliana took him in and he does not know how to deal with the news of his heritage, but he is determined to see his family safe, no matter the cost. Reluctantly he agrees to let Xavier help him find Juliana and the girls. The friendships that Cameron has built over the last 11 years are strong and Teddy, the owner of the inn Cameron works at offers to help him. Alexandra, Teddy’s niece and Cameron’s closest friend also offers to join the search. Cameron is more then grateful for their help though he is fearful for their safety, unsure what dangers they may face on the journey. Along the way, Cameron learns more about his past. By the sacred rights, he is the heir to the throne in Castle Vega, but Cameron has no desire to be king. All he cares about is finding his family safe and returning with them to their home. Cameron finds it hard to trust Xavier from what he has learned about him but Cameron does not have a choice. He must go along with what ever Xavier has planned in order to find those he cares about.

Childhood's End by Spiderwort Rated: T-15 [Reviews - 30]
Summary: STORY NOW COMPLETE! What was Minerva McGonagall like as a child? Probably quite different from the dedicated, acid-tongued teacher of JK Rowling's books. She surely had her loves and hates, adventures and fears and triumphs just like any teen. We know that she came of age during a great Muggle war and the depredations of the evil wizard Grindelwald, a shadowy figure who ruined countless lives. Minerva fought her battles with the help of people who would be important to Harry Potter's own development. These would cross her path as students like herself or teachers of great influence. Her teachers included Albus Dumbledore, Armando Dippet, a very much alive Professor Binns, and Horace Slughorn, her classmates Barty Crouch, Poppy Pomfrey, Hagrid, various Longbottoms, Macnairs and Macmillans--and Tom Riddle.
***This book is the first part of a trilogy called, with the permission of the redoubtable Zsenya of Sugar Quill, "Before the Beginning."
