The Albert-scene was great, with the wandless magic and Draco admiring Harry's quiet defensively heroic tactics. You paint a truly interesting picture of the post-war wizarding world.

I am in love with this line: Malfoy was shining hair and shining eyes and a shining skill that built houses out of air and sun and earth. ;-) Harry's obsession and struggle not to obsess is awesome. Thanks for writing this!
