Summary: Professor Malfoy's world is contained, controlled, and as solitary as he can make it, but when an act of petty revenge goes horribly awry, he and his trusty six-legged friend are thrown into Hogwarts life at the deep end and must learn to live, love and let go.
This story is amazing. It's got Harry and Draco as teachers at Hogwarts. It starts with Harry playing a prank on Draco, turning his eyebrows red, Gryffindor red, in retaliation Draco plays another one on Harry, but this one goes horribly wrong combined with another spell, which leaves Harry immobilised for months. Sort of like a Petrificus Totalus, if you will, and so Draco has to take over Harry's responsibilities, classes and extra obligations.
It's truly amazing, because even though Harry spends much of the story immobile, we get to see Draco change, we learn his frustrations, his vulnerabilities, but we also see him grow, open himself to life and live it, really live it. He visits Harry constantly, he talks him, it's easier while Harry is quiet and still, and Draco, behind this safety of Harry's motionless and silent form, he sort of lets himself go, he talks about his life and fears and new experiences while taking over Harry's duties, but never forgetting about that silent person whom he know is listening.
He falls in love, not just with the idea of Harry he has, because he has got to know Harry as well, as impossible as it sounds he does get to know him, because now that Harry is laying on a bed, motionless it's like Draco can truly see him, beyond all the noise and preconceptions, you know? And when Harry wakes up, their whole dynamic, their relationship, is different. It's fond and full of admiration, and damn it if it's not the sweetest prelude to the love story that it unfolds.
It's very rich in characters and details and scenes that will steal your heart. It's absolutely brilliant. And you're going to love Stanley (Draco's beetle pet) and much as you'll love Harry and Draco.
