Deal With a Devil

At the end of White Night, Lash sacrificed herself to save Dresden. But that wasn't the end of things -- she appeared in one of the fugue planes, where she was promptly accosted by the Watchman!

Uriel insists on pointing out she isn't *really* Lasciel, then offers her a chance at atonement. Voldemort has been reading books disseminated by one of the Fallen, and he wants her to mentor Harry in return.

Harry is 9 when he finds an unusual coin...




The author happens to be an excellent writer, and the story is engaging.

Lots of exciting things -- comparisons between HP magic and Dresden Files magic (nevernever ==> apparition throws her for a loop),
Spoiler:
forgotten races, Slytherin Potter, and the real reason Lily Potter's sacrifice protected Harry.


Still at the end of Year 1, so we have a ways to go.
Deal With a Devil is now complete, with 30 chapters covering years 1&2.

It is not 100% sure when the next book will be started, there is an option on "whenever the author gets a revived interest in the story", although I am hoping that rough patch was all down to elements that are now over and done with anyway.

BTW, year 2 is rather darker than most Harry Potter fanfictions... which is actually much more realistic than canon...
