Draco Malfoy just wants a quiet life. He has a successful business, a lovely wife, and a delightfully horrible circle of friends. He’s fine. Or, he was fine until Harry Potter thundered into his life with all the subtlety of a blast-ended skrewt and turned everything on its head. Now he’s beginning to wonder if ‘fine’ is enough, after all.

Summary
A part of James glowed with pride, with a certain joy, that he could solve the family's unsolvable problem. Grandad needs a Healer to administer his daily medication and nurse him back to health after the accident? Look no further.
But a different part, larger or smaller depending on the day, whispers to him the truth. They remind him of that night at his Nan's eightieth birthday and how the punch and the stars and the boy next to him made him say very stupid things. They remind him that when you do something bad, you must do something good to make up for it.
James suspects he will be doing good for a very long time before the guilt in his stomach melts away.

Bookmarker's Notes
i dont have enough words to describe this. it was awful and gut wrenching and beautiful. i need more at the same time i need like five years to process all of this. It’s genuinely of the most stunning pieces of work ive ever read here. its VERY sober and SO realistic but it knows how to balance with more light moments and banter. Its truly one of the most well written pieces out here and i absolutely would never read again because it hurts too bad. at the same time that i need more fluff after this, i dont think ill be able to fully enjoy it because how can anything else out there even come close to the dialogue and banter here??? theres no way!! this has spoiled me rotten and then beaten me to death. i want to vomit and craw on the ceiling and explode. too much and not enough in the best and cruelest way.
A few highlights: The dialogue (worth mentioning AGAIN); the handling of werewolf issues that truly astonished me in the best way; James Potter!!!, hes usually such a archetype in the worst way in most fics and here?? this is HIM; PETER PETTIGREW!! Look everyone knows he SUCKS, things is, he was still friends with them as kids and they had to love him in some ways. This fic ACTUALLY REALISTIC portrays this!!;
one of the few things i didnt really love has dumbledore. really not a fan of the guy but i just think he was way too cynic and cruel here. He is all of that sure but in a more passive manner I feel, not too active?? Idk its been some time since ive read the books and i never will again so idk. i feel like it would bother me more if he showed up more and if everything else was perfection.
FUN FACT: i actually started reading this GENUINELY thinking it was like 2 or 3 chapters long (literally dont know why) and just proceeded reading until i inevitably either the characters or the story got too unrealistic to continue or i just lost interest. Things is, neither of these things happened so i read like 600k words of pure gold.
