It's a "time travel to Marauders school days" fic that doesn't blow goats. Tanydwr is the author, and the title is Teasing, Teaching, and Time Travel. She (I *think* it's a she) also has some others with interesting looking summaries, but I haven't read them yet. It does kind of drag on expositing about the Deadly Curses she came up with, but persevere and there's some good stuff once you're past it.

Looks decent.
Doesn't tickle me, though. I'm annoyed at any 'no changing things because of the likelyhood of a paradox' stories, really, so that isn't much of a surprise.
The writing is good, from the few chapters I've read, and the characters are pretty much true to canon.
*sigh* It's sad, you know, because I've gotten to the point where I don't know whether this is a good or a bad thing.
Or maybe what I've put down above is just justification for me being very much affected by the 'meh, get on with it already' feeling that pretty much every Harry/Ginny story causes me to experience.

Wow. I think I'm bitter.

Meh. Decent fic, but it loses its charm later.--

Is it worth a look at all?

I'd say yes, but don't have particularly high expectations--
