Summary: Draco has never been very good at trusting others, and Potter is no exception. But if they're going to survive this, they need to accept that they're holding each other's lives in their hands, and--worst of all--they're going to have to work together.
Content/Warning(s): a bit of drinking as a coping mechanism, memory loss
This story is just so cool! It's case!fic with Unspeakable Harry Potter working with Curse Breaker Draco Malfoy. :D
The whole thing starts when a package is delivered to Weasley's Wizard Wheeze and as it explodes it hits Ron, putting him into a coma. Draco, who happened to be there (though, granted, he was there to spy on Harry ^^) and is the best Curse Breaker agrees to take the case, and Harry's going to help him.
It's super interesting, because to work on this spell they sort of have to go into the spell, which manifests as a small room, much like the inside of a clock, actually. The catch is that when they come back from that place, that room, they won't be able to remember anything that happened in there once they are back to the real world. But if they go back to that room, they will remember everything that happened both in their previous visit and the outside world.
And of course Harry and Draco get along in that room/spell, and of course once they are outside they don't and everything is difficult. It's awesome, this contrast, but also the way how even though they apparently don't like each other in the real world, they trust each other to be safe in that place, and together work to solve this mystery. Pretty awesome, I'm telling you. :D
