I don't know why I'm having trouble putting how amazing this story is into words. (Maybe 'cause ldymusyc already used most of 'em. Not that I'm complaining; it is her gift, after all.) The characterization, the details in description and backstory, the glimpse at the post-war world, your choice of possible career for Draco - 15,000 words hardly seems like enough time to spend with these Malfoys and Rita, and yet I can't think how you'd cram in more. Very well done.
