very interesting. it was a bit jarring to see harry so...reckless. especially as it was interspersed with moments of seeming normalcy in his early interactions with draco. but it definitely added to the suspense and intrigue. harry was really a mystery, especially as the narrative was set against the newspaper clippings.
i really liked draco's characterization. his changing feelings toward harry throughout really came across as genuine.
as a happy ending lover, i wish they had ended up together, but i like how you made the ending a mirror of the canon epilogue.
