kaiz [Added: 03/16/04 | Harry Snape]This is a nice long and very, very clever Snape/Harry future fic. It begins as a chapter in “The New History of Hogwarts”, laying out the discovery of the ‘Unconscionables’ (curses) by Potter and Snape. Interspersed within the ‘chapter’ are the actual events as the characters experience them. It’s a nifty stylistic approach, and my description doesn’t really do it justice. Speaking as someone who always wonders how the ‘history on the books’ compares to real events, I particularly enjoyed this extra little detail!
For a short summary, the story is set well after Voldemort’s fall (at Harry’s hands). With his death, a new menace has arisen- basically a ‘magical mafia’. Snape, Harry and other familiar OotP members are hard at work combating the new enterprise and the story offers plenty of action/adventure, considerable doses of humor, and enough interesting pairings to please just about anyone. I enjoyed this story on many levels- the writing is excellent, there’s some neat magical theory, the characters are very appealing and if not always dead-on with current canon, I can see them having evolved to their current (future) states. I particularly liked Snape- who is competent, acerbic, prickly and self-protective and very much resistant to the idea that Harry could actually be interested in him. This story is a great ride with something for just about everyone.
