Author's Summary: Draco shackled to a pillar. Harry wielding a sword. One goofy plot device. You do the math.

Review:
Rituals and Traditions begins and ends in one room where Draco's imprisoned, waiting alone to be part of a dark ritual in which Voldemort will take over his body (because let's face it; it's a lot better looking than the one the Dark Lord currently calls home.) And then Harry arrives.

What follows is a rescue that's got comedy and a lot of arcane sex magic (that might seem a little less arcane by the end when Draco figures it out). Draco's observations makes me laugh as he goes from twitchy dread to shock to hell-yes-enjoyment, and Harry is the perfect hero.

This classic from 2002 (I believe - possibly 2003) is a quick and energetic read. It's clever, funny, hot, and makes you smile.

Oh God, yes! I remember reading this ages ago and having to muffle my laughter so I didn't wake the neighbours. Brilliant.

:D Yes, the first time I read "Draco considered a number of things to say... Hold me closer, Tiny Dancer," I pretty much lost it.
