Shrouds by Equinox Chick
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 78]
Summary: Not all Voldemort’s victims were on the side of right.
Over a year has passed since the Battle of Hogwarts. Families grieve, but their dead are remembered with honour.
For Draco Malfoy it has been a year of nothing. Merely existing, he is bound tightly to his past as if enveloped in a shroud, unwilling to accept help. It takes a chance encounter on a cobbled street to jerk him into the realisation that he cannot go on like this. A chance encounter with the one person who has most cause to hate him.
But shrouds, however tightly bound, unravel.
A huge thank you to Natalie (hestiajones) who put her laminated canon card in jeopardy by beta'ing this fic and being very supportive all the way through.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling. Her lawyers agree, so please don't mistake us. I just like taking the odd liberty (ahem) with her characters (and pairings)
Nominated for two QSQ's in Best Non-Canon Romance and also Best Post Hogwarts story for 2011. Thank you.
Despite being a HP addict for years, I'm new to fan fiction and never paid attention to shipping wars. I read this story and loved it.
Author's Response: Thank you. I'm pretty much a canon-shipper, if I'm honest, but I like to tweak it at times. This story 'could' be canon because we don't know what happened in the intervening years, and that's what I wanted to explore. Thank you for reading and leaving a review. ~Carole~
