"Empty Classrooms" by Bowles

My first recommendation is going to be a fic that I first discovered just a month or so ago, and I have been unable to stop thinking about. It is about Hermione inheriting an academic tract that Lupin had been working on almost his entire life. In it, he begs the question: Why does Hogwarts have so many empty classrooms?

I am recommending this fic because it is very, very brilliant, it is about a concept that, as far as I know, has not been delved into before (and is so wonderfully worth considering that it's almost as if every question I have ever had about the HP universes has been answered), and just, in general, is exactly what I think Harry Potter fanfiction should be. Great, great stuff. Can't recommend it enough. The descriptions about the dark magic get a bit repetative toward the end, but it's worth looking in to at any rate - especially if you're tired of dramatic, slash-y stories written by 14-year-olds (not that there's anything wrong with those)!
