Happy Holidays, hollys_tree!

hollys_tree wanted a custom rec: H/D with a strong Harry-Ron friendship. Not impossible, but actually rarer than one would think. I didn't have to go quite this far back - but I was fun to go digging deep for this in the hopes to find something she hadn't yet read. *crosses fingers*


Earthbound Spook by cest_what (Harry/Draco) [PG-13] (58k)
Summary: Harry has no reason to like or trust Draco Malfoy. The fact that Malfoy has already died once shouldn't change that.

This fic is NOT Deathly Hallows-compatible. It was completed Oct 2007 (a post-HBP AU) and is an ‘HD classic’, imo. It takes place at Hogwarts during seventh year , Draco Malfoy apparently dead. The mystery plot unfolds from there. The Harry and Ron friendship is strong through out the fic and it’s really a lovely read. Enjoy.

It makes me happy to see Earthbound Spook recced; it's such a wonderful story and one of my absolute favorites. That scene in the cemetery *shivers* and that kiss in the window seat, omg... Deservedly a classic. I still feel sad for the other Harry, though :(

I'm glad to hear it! It was fun to find something we don't hear mentioned very often any more. :D

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you!

But between my laptop dying (D:) and becoming aunt of a beautiful baby boy (yay) my life's been CRAZY!!!

Thank you so much for the rec! I think I might have read it a long time ago -something about it sounds familiar- but I don't really remember anything. So I just started reading and it's just SO good! Just what I wanted from my custom rec. Thank you so much!

*smooches you*
