Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 70,000 Approx.
Summary: Following a bizarre accusation in a brutal crime, Harry Potter finds himself a loner and an outcast, as Draco Malfoy reigns supreme in the innermost social circles. A vengeful optician, a fifteen-year-old homeless Squib, and Harry and Draco's penchant for charitable giving all come into play as Blaise Zabini makes an unusual bet with Draco.
Warning(s): Epilogue compliant, infidelity (more warnings on the fic)
This story is fantastic, I had the best time reading it, and it all starts with Draco needing glasses, because, you see, when he went to get them, his optician put a little spell on the glasses, a spell that would make Draco see the real world. Draco has been living a very shallow existence, but now his vision, his perception of the world has changed. And these changes start when he meets a young girl, a homeless Squib at Diagon Alley, one that Harry has been helping.
Harry on the other hand, is practically an outcast, being blamed by a crime he didn't commit and was never proved to be guilty, yet he bears the burden of whispers and rejection by the Wizarding world. And when Draco takes interest in this girl that Harry has been helping, well, his obsession for the man will know no bounds.
I usually found stories when Harry is wrongly accused of a crime very hard to read, but this story is amazing, and it's not only about that, it's about Harry and Draco, helping this girl, both in their own ways, and it's brilliant. The characterisations are wonderful, there's a lot, and I mean a lot of UST (ultimately resolved, yay!), and it's fun, entertaining and so very touching.
