Reading Checkpoint

Last updated: early 2020 (so it's not up to date just yet)

I did this for A Little Help from a Snake and it seemed to be a popular idea, so I'm doing it here as well

Updates are infrequent, as you may have noticed, which is why I decided to make a reading checkpoint. Basically, it's a way for you readers to catch up on what has happened so far without having to reread the entire story (obviously, you can reread if you so please, but this is for those who especially want to jump right into the next chapter). It's about as long as a regular chapter, but at least it's a quicker read

Here it goes (feel free to correct me if I miss anything important or put the wrong info)

First Year

• (offscreen, before events of story) Harry finds journals from his parents and learns of the magical world

• Harry receives his Hogwarts letter and is taken to Diagon Alley by Rubeus Hagrid

• September 1st: Harry boards the train and meets Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Hermione Granger, and Draco Malfoy

• They reach Hogwarts; Harry is Sorted into Ravenclaw

• He starts a tentative acquaintanceship with Snape that eventually forms into friendship

• Draco and Ron get into a fight and drag Harry into it; Harry regrets being curious

• Harry confronts Draco, telling him not to involve him; he also accepts Draco's friendship

• Troll breaks in; Harry is concerned for Snape

• Ron and Hermione think Snape is after something

• Pansy Parkinson is a bitch (and basically takes the place of canon Draco)

• Harry spends time with the Weasleys over the holidays

• Harry uses the Invisibility Cloak to sneak out and finds the Mirror of Erised; he doesn't sneak out again

• Hermione and Ron are stubborn in their belief Snape is up to something

• They make plans to stop Snape; Harry tells Professor Flitwick

• Snape and Flitwick go and find Quirrell; the Philosopher's Stone is broken in the process

• Gryffindor wins the House Cup, and Ravenclaw is second (pushing Slytherin down to third place); Fred and George are among the few besides Harry that aren't happy about it

• The train arrives at King's Cross; Harry reunites with his relatives

• Fred and George notice the stark contrast between Harry and Vernon and are worried

Second Year

• The twins keep in touch with Harry via owl

• Harry suddenly stops responding, and the twins take their dad's car to rescue him and bring him to the Burrow, where Harry gets his first taste of a real, loving family

• Gilderoy Lockhart (need I say more?)

• The platform closes up; Ron takes the car, while Harry sends a letter and waits; Professor Flitwick takes him to Hogwarts

• Harry befriends Luna Lovegood

• Lockhart's teaching skills are bad (yes, I'm aware this is an extreme understatement)

• Harry hears a voice and tells Snape

• Mrs. Norris is petrified

• Lockhart's dueling club takes place; Harry's Parseltongue abilities are revealed; this is part of what makes people think he's the one opening the Chamber of Secrets
