Summary: The summer before 7th year, a restless Harry Potter is captured and taken to Malfoy Manor. Together, he and Draco Malfoy escape to Grimmauld place, where they are instructed to stay put while the Order takes care of more urgent business. Left out of the Horcrux hunt, they hatch their own plans to defeat Voldemort. Kreacher and the sentient Black House play a pivotal role, joined by a reluctant Snape and all the usual suspects. With the help of their friends, Harry and Draco learn to tolerate one another, defeat Voldemort, and even death itself. In this alternate Battle of Hogwarts, pranks and scheming carry the day.

Review:

I absolutely love the this book! She stuck to the original personalities of the characters and wrote their feelings so eloquently that you just can't help empathizing with them. I especially love those first few chapters that lead to Draco and Harry finally getting together because they are the sweetest and fluffiest. I also especially love those little chapters with the Black House and Kreacher because they are really an essential part of the explanation of the unfolding of Harry's and Draco's love.

The explanation of events that lead to the climax is just so clear and vivid that you can't help but smile, laugh, and be sad with the characters that are currently describing the story. I liked how she had varied point of views instead of having just one to explain the whole story. It was an all rounder that makes you appreciate the feelings of each (especially poor Kreacher) character.

Though it has the common concept of Enemies turned Friends turned Lovers; the story did it justice by letting Harry and Draco talk about their feelings for each other. Lastly, I love how she made the other pairings unique and how she also made the climax quite a shocker when I first read it.
