The story kicks off in 7th year with a tornado which swoops down, grabs up the cottage in which Ron, Hermione, Harry and Snape have taken shelter, and deposits them all in some barren waste where magic appears not to work.
“This is horrible,” Weasley said, waving his own wand around. “What is it? A hex? A curse?”
“I think it’s just Kansas,” Hermione said.
Hee. The story is a lot of fun, and my favorite parts have to do with Snape’s interactions with the Kansas natives as he tries to arrange transport back to Hogwarts. It’s funny as all hell and really kind of sweet- and I can actually picture the rural Kansas women swooning a bit over the tall, dark and foreboding potions master. Another nifty thread that runs through the story is, of course, the play on the ‘Wizard of Oz’ theme. This element is played up more in the beginning and the end of the story- and I very much liked it. In fact, it’s something I wouldn’t have minded seeing more of, perhaps at the expense of the more romantic parts to the story. Yes, this is also a first time Snape/Harry story and Ron and Hermione are also paired. I preferred the more ‘gen’ elements, but the romance fans should be well pleased. We even get a little Voldemort action, though I don’t want to spoil that part. Expect some great humor, nice plot, hint of action, and some romance. In short, something for nearly everyone in this fairly lengthy read.
