When you said: "They weren't drunk, certainly. Harry knew what it felt like to be drunk. The war had taught him that very quickly." Wow. That was powerful. Certainly shows Harry in a light we may not have seen before. It's so small and subtle but it ebbed at me until I acknowledged it's underlying meaning.
I love that you caught that. The war, even though it is over, absolutely pervades this fic. It's everywhere, in all of their minds. You picked up on exactly what I was going for. Thank you.
I especially liked how Draco walked away but then CAME BACK to kiss Harry.
HAD to. I had to. Draco can't be so certain all the time, and he was willing to take a chance. I'm so glad you like this! I really wanted that idea of him sweeping Harry up unexpectedly.
