Warning(s): Non Magical AU

The first AU I read, and made me realise that even without the magic, the Harry Potter world still lives through a story.

And it's just that everybody remains so IC on this story. You recognize the characters, and love them all over again.

Harry moves next door from Draco, and immediately Draco's drawn to him, they become friends, and even after Draco moves away, when he comes backs he looks for Harry, and finds him different, bruised, not just physically but by life as well, but still the same brave and sweet boy he first met

They grow together, and it's such a journey, these teenagers becoming men, dealing with abuse and abandonment issues, maturing and discovering themselves.

It's an incredible story, and how many hours you're going to invest in reading it, will be worth it.
