Now that Harry is back at Hogwarts with Hermione for eighth year, he realises that something’s missing from his life, and it either has to do with Ron, his boggart, Snape, or Malfoy. Furthermore, what, exactly, does it mean when one’s life is defined by the desire to simultaneously impress and annoy a portrait? Harry has no idea; he’s too busy trying not to be in love with Malfoy to care.
I went through the whole blog and I cant even understand why I havent blogged about this one before. To be honest, right now I cant even remember if I even read this through but thats all beyond the point. And maybe the most important part is that Im blogging about this right now. Yea. Hopefully. Because this whole thing is amazing.
Probably should say something about the fic itself too. Harry and co came back to Hogwarts to finnish their studies and the NEWTS. And Harry is just so lost with his life, all he knows is that he doesnt want to become an Auror. Draco on the other hand is just trying to survive and find his place in the world.
Then potions happen and then falling in love happens and then shit comes down and fantasy league happens there somewhere along the lines and maybe a happy ending is there at some point.
But the reason why I want to give so much credit for this is all that stuff with the magic and potions. Everything has been well thought. Everything. There is logic behind how potions are created and how wizards are different with understanding about them and then how magic and potions work together. And then on top of that there are some basic physics stuff. And if that is not enough lets mix it all together and call it alchemy. Yup.
The best part comes when it all actually works and makes sense and its just plain awesome. Seriously. I dont even know where to start with the praises. This whole thing is just that great.
And the characters dont even get to be left behind. They grow and change and understand each other and if they dont understand something they work for it and not just gain something out of nowhere. Its just... Perfect ? Maybe.
This whole thing is every reason why I love the HP fandom so much. Its not just about characters or the world, its about taking all of that and going one steo further and then anothee step. And there are so many good pieces.
So go and fucking read this. And leave Kudo and Comments and make the author feel loved. Thank you.
