Second Chances by kishijoten (R)
Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter, past Harry/Oliver
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: N/A
Why this must be read:
This story has an interesting premise. It's twelve years after Harry and co. have graduated from Hogwarts. Harry has become a professor and Draco is a single parent with three children. When one of his children has some problems adjusting at school, Harry and Draco are forced to interact with each other. At first it's sparks and anger, but they're both older and more mature in this story, and eventually they become friends for the sake of the children. Their relationship evolves at a nice pace, and there's also a background plot that's compelling about the psychological reprecussions of the war on Harry. This story features a kinder, gentler Draco. On one hand, it seems sort of OOC, but on the other, it also reads like a plausible response a dozen years down the line to the hardships that Draco's been dealt. This is a great, long story with well-rounded characters, including one of Draco's children who is a little too influenced by his grandfather's teachings.
Draco managed to procure a portkey to take them to the train station so that Sera could make the customary voyage to Hogwarts. She thought it daft, but he put her on the train anyway. He stood at the station and watched her go. Beside him, Damien watched with excitement flashing in his eyes. On his other side, Adrian was clinging to him for support and crying openly.
Seraphine was sorted into Slytherin, much to the surprise of no one. She did well in her classes, avoided getting any detentions, and made a few friends. She was happy at Hogwarts, but missed her father and her brothers - and told them so often in her letters.
That first year of separation was hell on all of them, but they somehow made it through. The next September, the twins accompanied Sera to Hogwarts, and Draco was left feeling bereft.
Damien joined his sister in Slytherin. Adrian, much to the boy's horror, was placed into Hufflepuff. He wanted very much to be with his sister, and his brother, and begged his father to make Headmistress McGonagall place him in Slytherin.
