* ''Synopsis'': A ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fic set in the summer after ''Goblet of Fire''—Harry comes back from Hogwarts to discover the Dursleys have packed up and moved to Australia without telling him, and he must find a way to survive the summer without unnecessarily alarming anyone.

* ''Comments'': Incomplete, but not a [[Dead Fic]] despite the long period between chapters—the latest chapter was posted (after a two-year hiatus) in November, 2010.
* ''Comments'': Incomplete, and almost certainly a [[Dead Fic]] -- the most recent chapter was posted in November, 2010, and the author hasn't made an appearance in his/her Yahoo group in almost as long.
** What's especially notable about this fic is that the Fridge Logic employed is never condescending to Canon and that nobody is villified- even the way that Harry's abuse escaped the notice of the Order and the Ministry is covered in an amazingly believable way (One Ministry social worker mistakes Petunia's violent reaction against Magic as protectiveness and shielding Harry from potential Death Eaters!), and once I got over Figg being a full witch and not a squib, my suspension of disbelief has never wavered.
