Summary: Harry Potter has spent the last seven years doing everything the Wizarding World’s saviour and Golden Boy shouldn’t – breaking it off with his childhood sweetheart, quitting Auror training, and living in isolation in Muggle London. Having just gotten out of an emotionally and financially abusive relationship, Harry hasn’t been out of his house in weeks. Meanwhile, after disappearing from the Wizarding World and moving to America for seven years, Draco Malfoy has become a famous Hollywood actor and is back in England to film his latest movie. When Draco begins to receive serious threats, he asks for a Wizard bodyguard to be assigned to him, and who should be more fit for the job than the fallen-from-grace Man Who Lived Twice himself? But can Harry and Draco set aside their differences and work together, or is this just a disaster in the making?
I had such a good time reading this story.
In one hand there's Harry, he's just coming out of a bad relationship, with a partner who always put him down, who cheated on him and took advantage of him, and now he's sort of lost, depressed, and maybe ready for a change.
And in the other hand, there's Draco, a famous Hollywood actor -- and you wouldn't believe how well this works in this characterisation of Draco, who has been receiving death threats since he's back in London and is in need of a bodyguard.
The minister asks Harry as a favour to take this job, and Harry, though he's not sure of how well it'll work between him and Draco, accepts. And it's really lovely, because they start getting to know each other, though both of them are more mature, there's still bicker and bather, and all the time a growing attraction while Harry tries to protect Draco, they are both a little bit insecure in their own ways, but they met again at the right moment. Lovely.
