Summary: Don't miss the summer blockbuster Minesweeper, based on the thrilling computer game of the same name!

Three years after the war, the curses that were cast during the final battle are bubbling up in the walls of Hogwarts, creating a situation where "mines" are scattered throughout the castle. Harry (as an Auror) and Draco (as a curse breaker) are among those sent in to remove the mines to make Hogwarts safe. But memories of magic are not stable, nor predictable, and the situation very quickly goes awry in unexpected (and explosive!) ways.

Author's notes: OMG THIS PROMPT. I burst out laughing delightedly when I read it. It was entirely unique and really made me sit down and think through how I could do it. I wanted to create something cinematic for you, and I had an absolute blast working on this. The story framework is set into old time movie reels to create a traditional 100 minute "film". The sixth reel, consisting entirely of credits, can be assumed. Sadly, I have no bloopers. :( Many thanks to my betas for their hard work and patience with me. As always, JK Rowling owns the world and characters; I'm just having a blast playing with them.
