Five years after the final battle at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy has been paroled from Azkaban and works nights as a janitor at The Daily Prophet. Harry Potter, recently married to Ginny Weasley, is training as a Healer at St. Mungo's. One wastebasket=one head injury=our story.
Fantastic story! The opening paragraph...Draco who can only cast a limited number of spells, who works night shifts at the Prophet, who has to check in with Ron, so much love. The replies he wrote instead of Lavender were the best.
Oh, and I love Pansy...her story is so tragic...the way Draco talks about her...
How Draco defines pride! Wow!
Draco's voice in general...so Draco, perfectly in character. I loved all the little details he mentioned about Harry and about his surroundings.
I loved Harry as a healer. This role fits him. He was perfection in this story, he was exhaust and was so thin...it was painful to watch. And the reason why was brilliant and such a Harry thing to do.
And Astoria, wow! I didn't expect something like that, great! I could have read another thousand words of this story and it still would have been too short. I soo didn't want it to be over.
And the end.
I so hoped for them that they would be happy and everything would be alright but well, life doesn't work like that, does it? But still, I'm happy Harry got his family and Draco got his regular life back and in my world there still is their secret love affair...
Really enjoyed it! Thanks soo much!
(Now I want more Harry as a Healer stories like this one!)
