Title: Defendere
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairings: Harry/Draco, Ron/Hermione
Rating: R
Warnings: Flangst, some violence, sex, magical bonding, references to canonical child abuse, EWE.
Wordcount: 36,000
Summary: Harry stumbles into a magical ritual meant to enslave Draco, and manages to change the bond so that it leaves Draco with free will and the ability to make decisions even if he is bound to Harry. But that isn’t much comfort when it also leaves him with the ability to irritate the hell out of Harry in the name of “guarding” him.
Author’s Notes: This is being written as a gift for
groolover, who kindly Brit-picked my hd_holidays story for me. She specified a happy ending, which I promise there is, and even some humor along the way. The title is Latin for “to defend.”
