Wow! What a great first chapter. I saw this story recc'd at http://community.livejournal.com/schal/tag/guardian and found the index at http://lesyeuxverts00.livejournal.com/57141.html#cutid1 so I'm off to read the other chapters. I've read hundreds of HP stories, but this is quite original. The characters are believable and vividly portrayed. You had a deft touch with Draco, too. Congratulations.
