Reading Wednesday

A Young Radical's Guide to Love by blamebrampton - "Memories of the war are still fresh, which is all the excuse Decent People need to do appalling things. In this quietly waged conflict, Draco Malfoy is happy to be on the right side of things for once, and even happier to find he’s not alone."

After the books, the Wizarding World tries to go back to normal as best it can. Trying to make up for his past deeds, Percy Weasley uses his position at the Ministry of Magic to issue arrest warrants for friends/family of former Death Eaters - whether they're actually guilty of any crimes or not. A sort-of-coping Draco Malfoy eventually meets up with Auror Potter, & things go on from there.

INSURRECTION. THE ENFRANCHISEMENT OF WIZARDS. A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN. A LOT OF TEA. PEOPLE BEING NICE TO KREACHER. PEOPLE ENJOYING THEIR FOOD EVEN WHEN SHIT IS HARD. EVERYONE WORKING TOGETHER OVER BOOKS AND LEGAL BRIEFS. THE INNER-WORKINGS OF BUREAUCRACY.

BASICALLY EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER WANTED IN AN HP FIC.

It was amazing. My ranting doesn't do it justice.

OH MAN, the title totally reminds me of A Renegade's Guide to Love & Sabotage, which i've always wanted to read but do not, tragically, own. I MUST READ THIS FIC.

sounds fab

Everything in a fic? Hell, that's everything I've ever wanted in LIFE.

I finally got around to reading this fic, and I loved it! The political maneuvering was fantastic. Honestly I think it's the first HP fic I've read that's post-series, and it's set a high bar if I plan to look for more. Thanks for reccing it!

I'm glad you liked it! That author has written quite a few fics, so that's what I've been perusing. Luckily, she meets her own bar, haha!

But yeah, I'll be searching for more HP fic, as I really loved this one.
