This is not a flawless fic, but it’s one I find very interesting. Set post-GoF, it is really a mystery tale that follows the trio as the attempt to decipher a mystery that began with Hogwarts’ founders. Seems Slytherin was up to… something, the details of which are hinted at in a book Hermione has acquired. However, the mystery concerns not only the past, but the present- and both Harry and Snape are beginning to suspect Dumbledore is up to something. It’s a really enjoyable read- there really aren’t enough good mysteries in fanfic. I also like the characters’ voices and the action elements in the tale (Voldemort is of course around to cause trouble). However, I do have some quibbles. There is one chapter toward the middle that inexplicably changes to a Snape pov and rehashes events from the prior chapter. It’s just odd, and I had no idea what was going on for a few minutes. Also, the plan behind the mystery.... Well, I’m not sure it is without holes. A sequel might have made for a stronger story overall, and the author has declared that there will be no sequel. Still, this is something different, it’s well written and it quite sucked me in. If you like gen and plot and suspense, I think it’s well worth a look.
