Why this must be read:
This is my favorite HP gen story with an OC, and although I would have loved to find out more of Kit's post-Hogwarts fate, I'll bet it was distinguished, and I am very satisfied with this story by itself. To quote Perri's author's note, it "sucked dead snakes to be a Muggle-born Slytherin" in the first reign of Voldemort. I've never been too interested in Hogwarts stories in the MWPP era, but this one takes us inside Slytherin House, and we get a look at how it might have been to be a Muggle born in that House, and we also get a glimpse of a Snape who seems very much in character. This is dark gen, which won't appeal to some fans, but I think everyone should read it as an example of how a creative, skillful author can stretch the definition of fanfic yet still remain true to the spirit of canon.
