Author's summary: Draco Malfoy is like all the other Survivors of the disaster -- except for one called Harry Potter.

Review:
Here's a classic that I just realized has never been recced here. Draco begrudgingly attends group meetings with Hermione, Neville, Romilda, Fred and others who were victims of an accident and can't remember anything about their pasts. Harry is the oddest, with a crazy story about how they used to be wizards and witches.

It's a unique plot that makes Draco good friends with Hermione, and, to some extent, with all the survivors. But strange things happen whenever any of them get angry or afraid, and Harry may seem crazy, but he's offering a bit of proof. The problem is, the way Harry tells it, all the victims seem to have been friends with everyone but Draco.

There's a lot to love in this beautifully crafted fic, with Draco unhappy about what Harry's story says about him, and with the way things seem familiar and yet not. There's a need for everyone to figure out who they are now, and there's a growing closeness between Harry and Draco, a relationship that probably wouldn't have happened without this new start.

Huh. In the end, I felt like the story I was reading wasn't the story she was writing; I was much, much more invested in everything that turned out to be background to Harry and Draco's relationship. I'd love to read more stuff in this setting; there were way too many plot threads left dangling.

It's an interesting idea, and I can see why you'd want to know how they're going to find other survivors and try to partially restore the Wizarding world. I was happy with it as the background that causes everyone to interact in a new way, but I certainly wouldn't have said no to more. :)
