A Lick and a Promise by tackytiger
Something sinister stirs in Hogwarts!
When magical creatures and students at the school are hit with a debilitating blood curse, Minerva McGonagall approaches the Ministry for help.
Star Auror Harry Potter seems to be the obvious choice to go undercover—as DADA Professor, naturally. He’s going to need the help of the Ministry’s foremost expert in blood magic to get to the bottom of the mystery, though, and he’s not entirely convinced that going back to Hogwarts with Draco Malfoy is a good idea.
Things are complicated between them—what’s new?—but they know they have to learn to work together (and keep their hands off each other in the corridors) in order to solve this case. Luckily for them, Hogwarts itself wants to lend a hand.
A tale of love, lessons, and learning to really live.
There was two things I was waiting to happen. Which one cracks first about wanting a real relationship. When does Harry crack about loving teaching (or is it Draco who has had enough of watching Harry love it and cracks for him).
And well. I had to wait a really long time. In the end, both crackings were kind of sidenotes and not so magnificent. Or maybe I had just hyped a little too much and waited something a little too much. But they were there! And they were still awesome.
I didn't really think about the actual plot that much for some reason. But in the end, the plot was good and one of the best parts of this. I was just shit at appriciating it along the journey.
Even the ending was satisfying and everything I wished for. So yea. Just awesome piece of literature this was.
