Summary: Draco is frustrated with his career as a travel writer, when a mini-tirade from Mrs. Weasley and an encounter with the portrait of an intrepid great-great-great-aunt lead him to Finland to study wandless magic. Harry is – just being contrary and following his sweet-tooth, or taking the subtle route to saving the world?
This is a lovely, warm story. It begins with Draco being a travel guide book writer, but a very random encounter with Mrs Weasley (who thinks he's planning to move to Finland with Harry-- which is honestly not) puts the idea of learning about Finland in the first place, and so he learns how different they practice magic there; it intrigues him, and decides to go.
I loved the way Draco changed while he lives there, the way he appreciates the little things in life, in nature, how cared he is by the people he's staying with, and how much he cares for them in return. He feels part of a family in a way. And then one day Harry shows up. By then Draco has changed, and Harry can see that. They begin a tentative friendship, and when Harry goes back home, neither can't stop thinking about the other until they meet again.
Draco's character development is wonderful, as is the Finnish settling where much of the story takes place. Like I said, warm and sweet and very interesting.
