♥ "The Academy" for vilgsacolin ♥
Title: The Academy
Author: sarea_okelani
Rating: PG-13, maybe R, depends on your sensibilities
Possible Spoilers/Warnings: Even though this isn’t strictly canon, there are various spoilers for books 1-7, so it’s best if you’ve read them all.
Author's Notes: I tried to stick as close to canon as possible (with the exception of the epilogue from book 7), but I may have strayed here or there. The Auror trainee example letter is paraphrased from an episode of Arrested Development when Buster writes a postcard home while in the Army. There’s another reference to AD in the summary. If you don’t know what a chip butty is, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_butty. Several names of people and places reference World of Warcraft. Thanks to Mother’s Circus Animal cookies and Tazo tea for providing energy boosts. Thanks to the dgficexchange for getting me writing. And thank you so, so much to my awesome beta without whom this story might never have been written. Seriously. She held the whip and got me through the tough patches, then took my rough draft and made it shine with her beta.
Summary: While at the Ministry’s Auror training academy, Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy learn that being friends might be harder than being foes. Or, “And that’s why you don’t teach your worst enemy lessons.”

ORIGINAL REQUEST:
Briefly describe what you'd like to receive in your fic (art)
Draco and Ginny are trainees in the Auror Training Program. Both think the other shouldn't be there, and both compete to out do the other (in exams, field exercises, instruction, etc). Canon info on Aurors and the training program can be found here: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Auror
The tone/mood of the fic: Action/Drama
An element/line of dialogue/object you would like in your fic: Field exercises where Draco and Ginny are forced to work together. <3
Preferred rating of the the fic you want: Definitely Naughty (teen and up)
Canon or AU? Either
Deal Breakers (anything you don't want?): Harry being an instructor. Harry can be a character in the fic, but I don't want to see him teaching the recruits.
