Reception
The problem with much of Harry Potter fic is that they cover either a ship (most common) or a plotted adventure (less so). The Book of Morgan Le Fey manages to do both, and in spectacular fashion. And it's told from Ron's POV! As he falls more in love with Hermione, he must first win the girl, then figure out how to do things from there -- without flunking classes, getting killed by Death Eaters or Dementors, or going completely mental in the process. Ron and Hermione are both beautifully portrayed, Ginny and Harry are both rock solid (and not involved in this one), Neville is wonderful, you'll love the new Dark Arts professor, and Luna is not what you'd expect, really. A truly excellent sixth-year outing; the action is well-plotted, tight and suspenseful, the relationships are funny, sweet, mature and realistic (yes, all 16-year-old boys are obsessed with sex), and the writing is simply excellent. Outstanding, one of the strongest HP fics I've read anywhere. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the equally fabulous sequel...[1]
Written before the release of the sixth book, lavenderbrown created a wonderful now Alternate Universe fanfic. Begining in the summer between the fifth and sixth years, and with Ron's actue notice of how much Hormione has changed, the fic continues into the sixth year with all the drama of classes and the Voldermort trobles that should be included in a good HP fanfic. Along with the romance between Ron and Hermione, Harry also gets involved with a fellow sixth year, Susan Bones. A dramatic story with lots of action, drama, romance and all those things that make me smile whilst reading a good story. Also with an intruguing and humorous involvement of Loony, I mean Luna Lovegood.[2]
Ron, Harry and Hermione return to Hogwarts for their sixth year to find that Voldemort is hatching a diabolical scheme to rid the world of Muggles and assume power. As the Trio work together to find out Voldemort's plans and fight back, Ron must contend with his newly discovered feelings for his brainy, bushy-haired, bookworm best friend. Told from Ron's perspective. A most interesting story about the quest for a book - Voldemort wants it and Harry, Ron, Hermione and Susan are on their way to stop the Dark Lord.[3]
The story along with its sequel was covered in Episodes 68-72 of the PotterFicWeekly podcast.[4]
