Summary: Five years after Voldemort's defeat, Harry returns to England to help re-open Hogwarts.
I think I must be the last person on the fandom to have read this story. I honestly can't remember why I haven't before, it's so good!
This story was written before Order of the Phoenix came out, but you'll be surprised how little differences to canon it has. The main ones, I think, are how some characters died, and that Draco was a spy for the Order.
Harry has this angst-ridden attitude, he left the wizarding world right after the war, and now, five years later he's come back to help to re-open Hogwarts. But while doing so they discover Hogwarts is filled with magical mines, targeted to specific people as well as general population, and to "dismantle" these mines, well, it's a huge collective effort, and Harry and Draco are paired to work together.
Draco is incredibly clever here, I really love his superior-yet-(sort of)-friendly attitude, he keeps getting to Harry, pushing and pressing him. The smut is amazingly hot, the intricate twists the plot takes are unbelievable, really (in a good way) and all through this Harry, very slowly, starts to see Draco differently, he's ready to face his fears, the loss of the people he left behind, and his own pain which he's been bottling up for years.
It's outstanding, this story. If you haven't read it, you should read it now. You won't regret it.
