Summary
I scowled at him. “Absolutely not.”
He whined, “Lucy, it’s my money; I can do what I want with it.”
“I know that, but what are you going to do with a big wheel of cheese? Are you really going to carry it around the whole day? There’s certainly no room for it in the fridge back at the cottage, so it will spoil, and you’ll have just wasted your money.”
He sighed and put it down as if I destroyed his lifelong dream. Skull would have spouted a dozen sarcastic comments about Lockwood and his cheese if he were here.
Lucy and Lockwood visit her family and take a day trip to Newcastle where they have fun and go sightseeing.

The Very Last Place One Expects to Run into One’s History Professor by RileyWilliamsJr
Fandoms: Merlin (TV), Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
Group projects are the worst: everyone knows that. Harry had been focusing on keeping his friendship with Ron and Hermione intact during their History of Magic project, but in actual fact, that didn’t turn out to be the problem. No—because something always has to go wrong in Harry’s life, they have instead encountered a mishap with the Time-Turner Hermione was apparently using to take even more classes than usual, so instead of squabbling in a nice little Welsh bookshop, they are now squabbling in a remote forest, surrounded by medieval knights who keep brandishing swords and shouting in a foreign language. But that somehow isn’t the weirdest part: because standing amongst the knights, unarmed and wearing ragged clothing, is (for some godforsaken reason) Hogwarts’ new history teacher.

The Immortal and the Revenant by RileyWilliamsJr
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Merlin (TV)

Summary
As usual, Merlin has utterly failed in keeping a low profile by inadvertently getting himself dragged into a mess of a situation that appears to have something to do with a seemingly unkillable snake man, a toad woman, an order of phoenixes, and a boy named Harry Potter who, he quickly finds, is equally bemused by his current predicament. When he discovers how lost the boy is, he resolves to help him and his friends get rid of this dark lord--as well as their malignant (and worse, ineffectual) new teacher.

What a fantastic story! Incredibly addictive, and the characterisation was spot on. There are a few Harry Potter scenes which were very similar to the book, but having Merlin there definitely switched things up.

Phenomenal writing, and I really enjoyed the chapter names.
