Draco Malfoy wouldn't go back to England for anything less than an exceptional case. Being asked to figure out why Harry Potter can't control his magic might be exceptional enough to qualify.

This premise was fascinating.

Parts of it were too political to be of much interest to me, but then there were parts with Harry and Draco together, or parts with Kneazle kittens, and I couldn't put it down.

Some Favorite Quotes:
"Was there any ambiguity whatsoever in 'No. Never.'? Need I repeat myself?"

"Draco," Millie warned. "Must you?"
"Of course not," he retorted, "but it does soothe the nerves."

"Maybe I know you better than most," Draco said quietly.
"Maybe you're an arrogant twat."
"Maybe that, too."
"You don't get extra points for admitting it."

The idea of implant is intriguing and novel, though I'm not really into so much politics and their extremely polite and formal interaction. However, I do love all the moments they spent in the conservatory, and the flower scene was heart-achingly beautiful. Overall, I had a pleasant time reading this.

First of all I’m completely besotted by Pansy, she is awesome, brilliant, her confidence in who she is, is inspiring.
For more than a half of the fic I was so extremely soft for Harry, the way he buried himself inside was terrifying and with every incident I was in a loop of “Ouch, Merlin, fuck, babe? 🥺” and itching to give him a hug. I love the hurt just as much as I love comfort 😉
That was wonderful 🥰

I really wanted to like this because it's very rare (at least from what I've read so far) to see Draco retain his sense of self and identity unapologetically- but it didn't really hook me, I think it might have been lots of telling and not a lot of showing?

Dropped after Chapter 5. Just dull, not enough happening, only written okay, and the magic integration was pretty weak. He’s supposed to be an expert healer for 10 years and his specialty is that he just sticks parts of wands in people?

Subdued, Paris might have been my favorite character.

Most polite HPDM fanfiction ?

[DayDreamer · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was awesome for two seconds and had the potential to be brilliant all around but that somehow got lost in the painful politeness and the end result was just okay.

3.5 stars rounded up because all in all I had great fun reading this!
