Summary: To save himself and his family, Draco must disappear in plain sight—of Harry Potter, that is.
Written from Draco's POV, this author nailed his voice perfectly.
It starts right after the final Duel—Voldemort's fall, when Harry disappears under his Invisibility Cloak when Luna creates that distraction (I forgot what she says) and Draco follows him to talk.
The language is one of the things that struck me the most, because it's perfect for that moment in time, kind of bleak but very emotional at the same time. And it's just that the war has only ended, and the weight of everything that has happened is heaving on Draco and he needs to do something. And so he does.
He becomes a spy for the Order to help to round the Death Eaters that escaped after the battle. He didn't know, however, is that to do this he'd be wearing a Glamour and he'd be rooming with Harry Potter.
Their relationship, a friendship of sorts, develops beautifully, and the title of this piece is so very fitting, but not only because Draco feels he has something to re-pay, though there's certainly that, but also because the way it happens, it's like, it changes him, it makes him grow.
Another thing I loved about this story is the pace of it. It's not rushed. It moves naturally, and it gives Draco the opportunity to see all the little things about Harry he never knew, and it gives Harry the chance to open up to a seemingly stranger. It's lovely, really.
And oh! There's a moment, which refers on the warnings as an AU incident in HBP, which is a missing scene that I believe in my heart it really happened and makes this story even more complete. I loved that scene, how well written it was. Anyway, yes, I know you'll enjoy it.
