Oooh, you went with the soul cakes!!! I absolutely adore the idea that Draco would visit Harry three years after the war to ask him to share soul cakes for Dumbledore and Snape with him. And that Harry would ask him in, and they together make this a ritual of forgiveness. Wonderful. I love the image of the sand grains in the timer - as if enough time had passed, not only for the cakes to be ready, but also for old enemies to put the past aside. Thank you for this unexpected treat! ♥

You are so welcome! You gave me so much information to work with, and such a wonderful ambiance when I started delving into everything.

I'm so very glad you enjoyed you treat! *hugs*

Interesting, I'd never heard of that tradition before. Nice use of it here!

[bonfoi]

It's all Vaysh's doing. I was but the instrument.

I, too, had never heard of this but I love the idea. Very cool! Nicely done.

[bonfoi]

I'd never done, either, but with some guidance, I was able to do it some justice. It's a lovely rite, and it does deserve some fic.

What fascinating tradition, beautifully explained. I like to see this sort of post-war healing.

[bonfoi]

They lent themselves nicely to this tradition. And, post-war healing is a definite treat for them, and us.
