In memoriam of The Seeker and his wonderful story "Saving Harry."
Sad news has reached us. I'm sure most of you know the story, "Saving Harry". Here is what MyGinevra told us:
Back in 2007, I met, on this site, another writer, Jim Tingley, whose screen name was The Seeker; he was posting a story called Saving Harry. Jim and I became good friends, and we met in person many times even though we did not live near each other.
The premise of Saving Harry was the Dursleys' childhood neglect and abuse of Harry and how he was "saved" by the Weasleys, especially by the friendship, care, and love of Ginny. The story touched a lot of readers, in part because many had themselves experienced similar childhood abuse. And, as Jim and I became friends, I learned that he himself had had that kind of childhood and that he had also overcome it with the help and love of other family members. Saving Harry was partly autobiographical.
For the many fans of this amazing, powerful, and beautiful story, I wanted to let you know that the author, my great friend Jim, died on July 6. He was in his late 70s. Saving Harry was semi-autobiographical. Jim suffered neglect and abuse as a young child but, like his Harry, was rescued and grew up a successful, warm, accepting, and tolerant human being. He and I became fast friends here on SIYE. We met in person many times and shared our love of Harry Potter and baseball. I will miss him and forever treasure our friendship.

If any of you happen to be rolling in dough or have some extra cash that needs a home, please consider forwarding some money our way so that we can continue to keep the archive online.

Thank you for your consideration and support and for the generosity of those who have kept SIYE afloat these many years.
Harry is spending summer at the Burrow and something strange is afoot, what could possibly be happening?
Your challenge is to write a story about the mystery and how it is solved. The story can be set at any point you choose during or after Hogwarts. Is the mystery something to do with Harry, or is it someone else? Is a certain red-haired witch going to help him solve it? The choice is yours!
The categories for judging are Best Overall, Most Unexpected, Most Humorous, and the People's Choice Award. Multi-chaptered stories are allowed but they should be completed, or at least satisfy the challenge sufficiently by the time it is closed.
All stories should be submitted under the "Summer at the Burrow (2024-1)" section of the SIYE challenges category by midnight SIYE time on 1st May. The winners will be announced on the 15th.
