Life alters drastically for Harry, Draco, and Snape after the Parseltongue incident in second year. Sometimes, all it takes is one impulsive throwing of a stone to send ripples of change through several lives.
I enjoyed the realistic development of Harry’s relationship with Severus as a mentor / father-figure, which was slow to evolve and didn’t have Snape suddenly become a loving, caring, paternal influence on Harry.
I also liked the author’s innovative way of dealing with the Horcruxes, including the one that was part of Harry.
The story spans several years, going right through to the final confrontation with Voldemort. Read to find out how the changes started in second year ripple through the rest of Harry’s time at Hogwarts.
