Review:
Several years post-war, Dumbledore dies peacefully in his sleep. In his will he leaves his family estate to both Harry and Severus, with a proviso that if the two of them can't agree on what to do with the house the one who wants to sell will have to court the one who wants to keep it. Of course, they don't agree, and thus begins one of the sweetest, most romantic marriage of convenience fics ever written.

Most marriage of convenience fics start with the marriage and build to trust from there. The focus of this fic, in contrast, is of the courtship that leads up to the marriage and the relationship that grows between Harry and Severus as they spend more and more time together as a result of the courtship ritual. Both Harry and Severus are in character, though Severus is slightly softer than we're used to seeing him (quite reasonably so, IMO, seeing as it's been years since his life was in constant danger). Hermione is also excellent, and the Weaslys are even more likeable than usual. An all around sweet story that is sure to make you smile.
