Oh. God. This was--this was such a delicious treat to wake up to, I don't know where to begin.
First, I loved the first person POV--it's a tricky thing to write, something I almost never attempt in my own fic, and you do it with aplomb here. Scorp is amazingly believable here. I particularly liked the way his father hovered over the edges of his consciousness, always there--Father, Father, Father in the background. I also loved the way he thought about his own sexuality: some boys just respond to me that way. This, more than any physical description, made me visualize Scorpius perfectly.
And Harry--oh, Harry, guilt-ridden Gryffindor to the end. Perfect.
Question--when Harry says, at the end, that no matter what happens it's not Scorpius' fault--does that reference anything specific? Is Harry's marriage with Ginny really happy? Or is Harry just thinking of potential backlash? I'm curious.
