One of my most favorite HP fanfic stories.

Look, this is still farly decent in writing (though it continues the big fault of spending 90% of time on telling, not showing, and processing). But the "problems" posed are so contrived, so frustrating, that I really fail to see the point. An author is supposed to chase the protagonist up the tree and pelt them with coconuts, yes, but making the floor magically vanish, have them fall onto a tree, and have it rain coconuts is a bit much.

Trying to forget about it until it's finished being written, just so the impatience doesn't kill me. Part way through there's a massive stab in the guts - but there is resolution, and at least it's not currently leaving people on too much of a cliffhanger. Also reconciles the character writing I didn't like in the first one (A Year Like None Other).

Spoilers to the middle of the book, ahead :
I am furious about this book making Harry lose his memories. It's like throwing all my reading of more than 3000 pages away, all that character development is simply GONE, the one I had worked on reading since close to 2004 !, it's like I am reading something else entirely at this point, so sad, the unnecessary slow action is bad too, like come on, Voldemort has nothing in mind really?? for 2 and a half books he had no major rule at all, and to top it off, Percy dying was rather dull and-beyond it being a weird choice, it wasn't fun to read, it had been pretty boring to read as every character was trying their best to make a reaction about it. Like I know it is somehow established that Percy is a hated character, but I assure you that doesn't mean his family is suddenly so uninterested and nonchalant about him, they still want him very much alive even if he had done horrible things. ( and honestly, he barely made any bad choices here.) his anticlimactic death was the most painful part to read right after Harry lost his character, sorry, "his memories," and he still didn't get it back, which makes the rest of the novel go and go and go on without anything worth reading added to it...the only reason I kept reading is that I got emotionally attached to it but it is painful to know the writer can't care for quilty anymore, the longer it went on it only reflects the saying " die a hero or live long to become the villain".
The only saving grace is how beautiful Harry and Snape's relationship is despite the unnecessary memory loss that ruined everything they had going on. It's like the writer is afraid of confrontation and always pulls the strings before it goes toward any conflict, It's funny how that contrasts with the start of the story, where scene after scene deals head-on with what is happening in the world around the characters and moved the plot forward as stories usually are supposed to do when writers are not bored with them yet and still like to write them.
