The Tangled Web

It is the summer before Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts, and Ludo Bagman's daughters are recruited by Lucius Malfoy for a distinctly mysterious purpose. Whilst Draco's plan to force his father into allowing him to join the death eaters seems about to plunge him and Pansy into danger, Harry receives an invitation to join a secret society who aren't used to taking no for an answer. And Snape just wants to play on the slot machines. Also includes romance, someone who may or may not be Draco's cousin and a lot of breakfast.

In which Snape goes to Brighton, the Weasly family eat breakfast twice and Draco begins the first stage of his plan. Also featuring a letter which isn't junk mail, a boy who isn't a boy and two ominous strangers.

Harry recieves an invitation. Ginny recieves a (rather mediocre) poem. Lucius Malfoy recieves two irritating letters. And the Order of the Phoenix recieves some very bad press. Elsewhere, Eris carries toast and muses about life, whilst Snape is nowhere to be seen. Also features Blaise Zabini and Millicent Bulstrode on a train, Percy in a strop, and some wise but oft-ignored advice from the obscure philosopher Tertius Borgia
