The current UK election campaign reminded me of this wonderfully funny fic, inspired by… UK election

Swinging the Vote by Wormykins (Chapters: 1)

Rating: PG - Spoilers: PoA - 882 hits - 1084 words
Genre: Wizarding Society, General - Main character(s): NarM, RL, SB - Ships: None - Era: 1970-1981 (Including Marauders at Hogwarts)
It's election time again, and Remus Lupin has a reputation for being a tough voter to win over. Why is this, and will anyone ever succeed? Inspired by UK election canvassing, of all things.

Summery Executions 7 : Do you know what is wrong with the saying that Narcissa persuaded Lucius not to send Draco to Durmstrang? What is the real moral of Tom Riddle's back-story and how will Dobby save Harry from V's clutches? And, most importantly, why Harry & Ginny had to be together? Our writers will tell you everything!

"It seems to be common knowledge that I persuaded Lucius not to send Draco to Durmstrang. Actually, that's not quite true - Draco was always going to attend Hogwarts. All I did was to remind Lucius of that." Let Narcissa tell you how.

They were outnumbered, they were outclassed, and they were led by Harry Potter.

The third sentence is merely a coincidence, of course. (This quote is my favorite with the first one.)

"You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your relatives," goes the saying. How unfortunately true. An OotP-compliant look at the Black family, affectionately nicknamed as "why canon extrapolation is so much fun."

Harry sees a chance to be a hero, but Lord Voldemort sees the chance to regain everything he lost during the war.

Guess who dies in the end of the fic…

Dumbledore forms a Poets' society and invites a strange array of people, but nobody knows why! And then he gets a twinkle in his eye that can only mean one thing: A Plan of Imminent Doom! Oh no! *slash*

Tom Marvolo Riddle is in his seventh year at Hogwarts. He needs a girlfriend to help his image. Will the girl he so offhandedly and dispassionately picked win his heart? Is Tom really a loving, innocent soul? Um... NO.

Ron's with Hermione, Harry's with Cho - and Ginny is lonely. But what will happen when she decides to bring back the only friend she ever had?

The fic's pairing is G/TR. At least now I have got one good reason for H/G.

Lord Voldemort thinks he?s the most powerful wizard alive, but he gets his butt kicked by a bunch of kids on a regular basis. He also thinks he?s the son of a Muggle who abandoned his witch wife. Herewith one possible answer to the musical question: how deluded is this guy?

Originally titled 'Promises Of Things Yet To Come,' this drabble glimpses into the childhood of one Tom Marvolo Riddle. [Message conveyed: children are evil and will ultimately cause the fall of society]

Hermione just wants to know his secret, surely one little meeting can't do any harm?

Main character(s): Hr, Vold

Are you absolutely sure?

This is the final battle as seen by fourteen different people, because Harry didn't know the half of it. *Contains no DH spoilers, unless I happened to guess right on something.*

Just a snippet of the final battle between good and evil. Guess: Who will cry, and who will die?

Main character(s): D, Hr, Vold

Even the best plan has its flaws. Main character(s): H, V

Especially if it's the best plan of one of those guys.

A fic about Harry's seventh year at Hogwarts. How does it end: with school, with love, or with Voldemort?

Lucius Malfoy is found dead at his home during a hunting week-end. The Trio, Ginny, Draco, Narcissa, Snape, Dumbledore and Voldemort each have their reasons for wanting Malfoy dead. Stranded together during a magical storm, suspicions will build and tempers will fly. But will they solve the mystery in time?

With such enigmatic suspects even Poirot wouldn't solve the crime!

And now a poem I really liked (from a different fic, iirc):

Ten little wizards gathered for a reason.
Each was guilty of some past treason.
Suddenly things started to go wrong.
There was an imposter among the throng.
Slowly they vanished one by one.
Magic could not help and then there were none.

HP/ "And Then There Were None" crossover?

A short one-shot from Lucius's point of view about Little Ginny, corresponding to my fic Ashes to Ashes. Lucius is a disturbed man, and it only gets worse with age...

And now we know how he does it:

Draco needs it, Ginny can give it... but Lucius requires it. Draco/Ginny, no HBP.

Pansy Parkinson leads an all-star cast in a shocking tale of drama, angst, humour and inappropriate relationships with Gryffindors. When Draco and Harry get together, what happens to Pansy and Ginny?

Pansy Parkinson made an oath after Draco Malfoy failed to fulfill his mission: she wouldn't be caught on the losing side. In the world of war, a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do, whether it's drugging family members, arranged marriages, having a child, or becoming a Death Eater. Watch Pansy Parkinson struggle to make ends meet with the help of her friends, a little sarcasm and lots of aged Firewhiskey.

When two people decide to get a divorce, it isn't a sign that they don't understand one another, but a sign that they have, at last, begun to.

Voldemort has captured Harry AGAIN. What will Dobby do to save Harry? *slash warning*

Ships: Dobby/Vold

Shouldn't the writer also give bestiality warning?

Narcissa Malfoy and Remus Lupin call a moratorium to chat like old friends. Problem is, they've never been friends.

Draco Malfoy. Eighteen, out of Hogwarts, imprisoned in a block of ice by his father wearing only boxer shorts. Could he be any sexier?

Can pure blood be tainted by some things, such as homosexuality and adultery? Or is Pure always pure, no matter how much mud is thrown at it?

Hermione decides that if no one is going to save Harry from the Dursleys the summer after their fifth year, it's up to her. Then she blows up a car. Also, Harry is angry, Ron is confused, Narcissa is crazy, and Draco is pathetic.

Things are as usual, then. J

If you missed mctabby's Summary Executions Part XLIII, it's highly recommended. My unquestionable favorite is:

This story takes place during the fifth book. Two young Catholic agents are sent to Hogwarts to protect Harry Potter and the Ministry of Magic's credibility. In this three way struggle between the Ministry, the Vatican, and Voldemort anything is possible.

May be Vatican with its' young (Harry's age?!) Catholic agents will come up with a decent plot at last!

One of my favorite plants in bloom:
