I think it’s about damn time I read this one! 

The #1 thing i liked the most about this fic is the slow built. Not just between Harry and Draco but also between Draco and every other character in the story. Draco has pretty much isolated himself in Hogwarts with only Stanley to company him, so it was so heartbreakingly adorable to experience all of Draco's vulnerability, insecurity, and loneliness and see it slowly melt away. I also love how domestic this actually is. Yeah, there’s angst and drama, but we also just get to follow Draco and sort of get to experience how it is to be a teacher.

“Putting what off, Harry?”

“I’m-“ going stiff, he falters, glancing everywhere but Draco resolutely then he sighs. Their hands lock loosely together on their own accord. “Hermione is with Ron. And I’m with you. But they’re also mine.”
