I was travelling for nine hours today, and thus it was great to have a lengthy tale to read, to wit, this awesome fusion/crossover which manages to put the First Class X-Men into the Harry-Potter-verse, shortly after WWII, which means they are all teenagers. The story captures the atmosphere of the Potter books (and the joy of the early ones) and the HP characters who were at Hogwarts at that point - from Dumbledore to Moaning Myrtle, just recently dead and ghostified -, while doing full justice to the younger version of the mutants (and yes, that includes Erik's concentration camp backstory). (No spoilers for Days of Future Past. ) In conclusion, it's brilliant.

Summary:

It's September 1947 and Hogwarts is finally getting back to normal after the disruptions of the war against Grindelwald and the Muggle World War. Transfiguration teacher Albus Dumbledore has been searching for students who have missed out on starting at Hogwarts, such as Charles Xavier and his sister Raven who have been hiding in the US, and refugee Erik Lehnsherr. Grindelwald's supporters are still strong, though, and it's going to be a turbulent first year for Charles, Raven, Erik and their friends.
