Yesterday
hd_worldcup finally started. I only read one story because there was not enough time to read all four. I choose Team Fanon for no particularly reason.

One year after Dumbledore's death, the tide turns in Voldemort's favour and with Harry Potter locked in the Malfoy dungeons, the fate of the Wizarding World seems bleak. Who'll save the saviour when he's in need of saving?
After finishing the story I knew why I waited with bathed breath for posting to begin. It is a really fantastic story. It is Draco-centric and first person. You could really identify with his feelings and thoughts...the way he handles his father is breathtaking.
Harry was also perfect. He was so Gryffindor, so Harry, simply perfect!
Furthermore, I loved how the ending was resolved...the way Draco's dream was incorporated.
This is a really fantastic story. Just perfect! (not that I expected anything less from
hd_worldcup)
On another note, I have to confess I'm still a little bit confused how this whole voting works but I'm not giving up!

This scene between Draco and Lucius just killed me:
“Say ‘Draco’”
“Draco.”
“Say you love me”
“You love me.”
A smile, a quivering one because I do, so very very much.
“Yes, but say ‘I love you’.”
“I love you.”
“Tell me you forgive me.” I swallow thickly. “Say ‘I forgive you’.”
“I forgive you.”
“Say ‘Draco’”
“Draco.”
“Say you love me”
“You love me.”
