*flails and cuddles this story to her* This was wonderful. Uber wonderful. The line about Draco signaling Harry to "get on with the compliments" just made me die laughing.
I think what I liked about this so much was that you didn't treat the problem as anything more or less than a problem that turned inevitable. Therefore, Harry made do and moved on when he could. Optimism is fantastic and healing is a miracle, but at some point you work with what you can and continue to live...even if in 'another country'. I dunno, this seems very realistic to me, rather than the way a lot of people treat or talk about disabilities.
Oh, this just made my night so badly it's not even funny. And it's not even Christmas Eve here!
Much love and huggles for this story (and making me wish I knew Latin!) -Jolene
