Fandom: Harry Potter -------------------------------------------------- Harry and his snake's first summer away from the Dursleys and second year at Hogwarts. Featuring an awkward summer, an even more useless Defense professor than the one that had spent a year trying to murder him, a voice in the walls, a slew of petrified children, and a mysterious diary that seems oddly compelling.
A story full of action, where we see how Harry deals with things piled on him (slightly surprised realising that he doesn’t have to take all abuse) and with the mushroom treatment. Several I-told-you-sos occur, and Tom Riddle makes an appearance. Very realistically written, all characters fleshed out, consequences of actions detailled. Wonderful continuation of the series… and then the author goes and admits they like years three and five more. They’re going to be bombastic.
