I can't quite believe the characterization of Draco, and it detracts from my enjoyment of this story. Perhaps, if there's more character development, the story will be more believable. As it is, this is a light-hearted read about second chance and turning a new leaf or believing in the inherent goodness of Draco.
Yes, Draco here is way too nice to be really believable as Draco, but it was still just so much fun to read.

"Cheers, Malfoy." Potter took his hand. "Should we try liking each other?" Draco found himself shaking the hand in his. "We can try. We'll probably cock it up, but we were rubbish enemies, so there's a chance it could work."
Draco is not a good person, but he can be if he tries. This fic shows it, even though the character development is not very good, too fast for my liking.
