   Author's notes: Many thanks to potteresque_ire for chopping with such a fine knife. eeyore9990 for the major beta job, and the_flic for the extra polish and britpicking. In addition, thank you C&C for all of your suggestions and honesty, and the hp10k gang for the final fixes. Thanks also goes to raitala who captured Harry in his predicament so perfectly.

   I am writing to raise awareness of: Environmental Issues (Reusable Bags)
   Illustrated by raitala, drawing to raise awareness of Mental Health Issues. The illustration is rated G.
   
   Excerpt: "And, Harry," McGonagall said, peering over the tops of her spectacles. "The portraits...the portraits as of this morning are still."
   
   Harry's blood ran cold as he glanced up to see row upon row of heads bowed and eyes closed. They weren’t sleeping.
   
   Rec: This was haunting. Lovely, and tough to read, and worked the issue into the story in a way that honestly would never have occurred to me in a million years.
   
   Beautiful.

   Author: novembersnow
   Pairing: Harry/Draco, secondary Harry/Ginny, tertiary Harry/Ron/Hermione (sort of)

   Summary: Harry Potter really sucks at video games. Draco Malfoy just sucks.
   Author's Note: Grateful thanks to mizbean for her idea about why Draco initially played the game, supergrover24 for beta-reading (and letting me write her into it *g*), and all the vile enablers on my LJ who encouraged me to turn a one-note joke into a full-fledged fic. ;) Also, apologies to glockgal for borrowing her video game name from last year's April Fools Day celebration at Fiction Alley and to sarahtales for borrowing her nickname for Scorpius. I steal because I love!
   
   I am writing to raise awareness of: Multiple Sclerosis
   
   Excerpt: Next came violent, action-oriented titles based on Wizarding history: Goblin Wars Volumes I through XIII, Witch Burning!, Dumbledore vs. Grindelwald (a controversial hit owing to its homoerotic overtones).
   
   Rec: Hee! This one mostly made me giggle - I was reading out bits to my (slightly annoyed) DH - but was also unexpectedly touching. You gotta love a fic that introduces Wiizards :D :D :D

    Word Count: 9770

    Author 's notes: Many thanks to all the other Showcase participants who offered suggestions on this story, to the fabulous members of my writing groups, and to my beta readers, sevfan and eeyore9990, who caught my many errors and without whom this story would have been much less readable. Also, a heartfelt thank you to raitala, who provided the wonderful illustration of Narcissa.
    This story is dedicated to the_minx_17.
    
    I am writing to raise awareness of: The National Bone Marrow Registry (although this is not the subject of the story)
    Illustrated by raitala, drawing to raise awareness of Mental Health Issues. Her illustration is rated G.
    
    Excerpt: Is it true that Celestina Warbeck can be linked romantically to Minister Shacklebolt? Apparently so. In addition, a source tells me that the minister lives up to his name with the bedroom games he plays. All those years as an Auror have evidently made him appreciate the lure of bondage.
    
    Rec: Felt like I'd been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride with this one - and a very funny one at that. And the Sly Quill bits are hysterical :D :D :D
