Review: http://www.katspace.org/reviews/netfic/Author/TalesofSnape#Title_Karakuri
Summary:When the last of the Lestranges dies in Azkaban, Hermione Granger and her colleagues in the Department of Mysteries have thirty-one days to assess and catalogue the entire contents of the family vault before it's passed on to Narcissa Malfoy. As if planning a wedding wasn't enough stress by itself. Artefact inspired by the work of Clive Barker. The word karakuri means a 'mechanical device to tease, trick, or take a person by surprise'. It implies hidden magic, or an element of mystery.
That was lovely. This story ranged from the delightfully fun to the heartrendingly angsty; with mystery, idiocy, domesticity, slow-blooming love, and matchmakery scheming.
Having a scheming Luna was unusual, but I think that just gave her an added dimension.
So... what do you think?
