Summary:

An anonymous benefactor makes a generous donation to Harry Potter's School for Squibs in exchange for a weekly letter from the Boy Who Lived.

What begins as a chore soon becomes the only outlet Harry has to talk about the war, love, life, hope, redemption, his renewed obsession with a certain blonde nemesis and how he really, honestly, believes that this will be the year Puddlemere United reclaim the Quidditch League Cup.

Well, first of all, I love reading epistolaries, full stop. And this is a brilliantly executed one: a slow burn "strangers" to friends to lovers story set against a very nice backdrop of wizarding politics... what more could I ask?

This is one of those fics that makes you laugh too loud, grip onto the edge of your seat in the face of impending disaster, throw your hands up in frustration, grin with glee when things work out and finally sigh in contentment at having finished a well-crafted, entertaining and thoughtful tale.

Highly recommended to all my fellow drarry shippers, and a huge thanks to @gingertodgers for writing and sharing this ♥
