Thank you for reccing this! I ended up staying up all night yesterday reading. Given that magic is a big reason I love HP, I needed everything else to be amazing if there was no magic. This story came through and exceeded my expectations. All the characters are still themselves even without wands and robes and cloaks, and that's a magic of an entirely different kind. I kept rooting for the emotional tension to be resolved, and that pretty much fueled me throughout the night. Thanks again :)
