Hi! This is kind of a specific request, but do you know any fics that focus on the kids that are left at hogwarts while the trio is on their horcrux hunt? Or fics that are from side characters POVs in general (like Harryâs classmates, the silver trio etc). I really like âwe must unite inside her walls or we'll crumble from withinâ and âthe kids who chose themselvesâ by dirgewithoutmusic, but Iâm not sure what tags to use when searching for similar works. Thanks!
For sure! Hereâs the search that I used (tag: Hogwarts Seventh Year) and here are some recommendations:
Not From Others by FloreatCastellum
Iâve recommended this one before and I really like it. Please note that its quite long (130k words) and has warnings for violence and character death.Â
âShe may not have been able to join Harry, Ron and Hermione, but Ginny refuses to go down without a fight. As war approaches, Ginny returns to Hogwarts to resurrect Dumbledoreâs Army and face the darkest year the wizarding world has ever seen.â

You already know this author so Iâm sure you already know how exceptional their writing is! A really lovely short piece about the students who remained behind and the Slytherins who participated.
Hold the Fort: Pictures of Hogwarts During the Year of the Carrows by @runrundoyourstuff
Note: this is a series of connected but stand-alone stories and I have not read all of them, but I have enjoyed the ones Iâve read.
Focuses on snapshots of life during the seventh year, including both teachers and students. The characterization Iâve seen has been excellent and the writing really lovely.

Neville stands up for what is right. This fic is an excellent reminder that Neville is a Gryffindor too and his sense of duty has been a constant throughout the years.

The Hufflepuffs during the seventh year. So well-done
