Author's notes: Thank you so, so much talekayler for writing this fic, and for signing up for remix, giving me the opportunity to write this story. Thank you to stultiloquentia for her quick beta, to ravenclown for some points of crit and enthusiasm, and the mods for their patience and kindness. And even though she will never see this, thanks to my_daroga for putting up with me while I wrote this.

You might be wondering why I'm posting a fic from hd_remix to genfic_hogwarts. The reason is that even though the fic I remixed resides firmly in the Harry/Draco category, the fic I wrote based on it ended up gen. The original fic described the Gryffindors and Slytherins as friends; I wanted to explore how that happened, so this fic focuses on friendship and people who are very different and who have very convoluted pasts learning to understand each other. There are definitely suggestions of Harry/Draco in there, but there's no sex or making out, and the story doesn't focus on their romance, but rather their friendship and their groups of friends.

I suppose some would say it's pre-slash, but which I don't just mean "pre-sex", but pre-relationship. However, to me, that still implies that the focus is on the relationship between Harry and Draco, when it's just as much about the relationship to each other's groups of friends, and those friends' relationships to each other. The short version is, I think it's gen, but there may be issues with categorizing this fic. If anyone has a problem with it, please let me know.
