Summary: The Malfoys lost their fortune and disappeared years ago. When Draco returns he uses a different name and decides to become a valet. Harry has inherited a fortune and is in need of a servant. A match made in heaven? Based on "Jeeves and Wooster" and set in 19th century wizarding London.
Warning(s): Magical AU.
I really enjoyed this story. I just love it when Harry or Draco is working for the other. In this fic, Draco, whose family left England for many years, returns to London and becomes Harry's valet. Harry, an orphan, has very recently inherited his 'Lord' title, along with his fortune from a long lost relative, which coincidentally would have been Draco's had he not been missing.
It's placed in the 1900s in London, and one of the things I loved the most about it, it's the writing; it really transports you back to that time, the language used is very formal and even candid, and it fits perfectly with this setting.
Draco as Harry's valet is priceless, not only because he's so properly and composed all the time, but also because of his gentle guidance Harry feels more comfortable with his new title and the life he has now. And their conversations and observations they fall in love, a love not completely accepted in that society, but they will fight for it.
It's a charming love story.
