Disclaimer: Harry Potter characters are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No profit is being made, and no copyright infringement is intended.
Notes: AU. Major AU. Hogwarts still happened, but the Voldemort Saga did not. Kind of.According to Pottermore, the Malfoys didn’t give two squirts of piss about Muggles before the first war. Therefore, I have taken Voldy out of the equation and instead focused on what the world would have been like for our favourite characters if Tom hadn’t gone round the bend. I also changed it a bit. Draco isn’t attending a close friend’s wedding, but his ex’s. Yeah, hope that isn’t deviating too much. Special thanks to my betas nenne and katelinmr. All the love in the world to you two. Seriously.
Summary: When the love of Draco’s life sends him an invitation to his wedding, Draco desperately tries to find a date for it that’s hot enough to make the man jealous so he can break up the wedding and keep the groom for himself. Then he meets Harry Potter in a cafe one early morning, among the Knockturn Alley crowd, and takes a chance to hire him as a date. When Harry eventually says yes, Draco rejoices, but as he spends a week with the man by his side, and as they learn more about each other, Draco realises his love for the groom is slowly disappearing.

I haven't read/seen the original work that that you based your fic on but hat doesn't matter because your story was epic! Going into it I wasn't sure sure about how the changes (no Voldemort, etc) would translate themselves but they worked out wonderfully. I love that Harry got the chance to be just Harry. He wasn't the boy who killed Voldemort and all that stuff. He was just another wizard in Draco's year. The misunderstanding concerning Harry's profession was priceless.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this.

Epic? wow. Yeah the planning for no Voldemort had to be laid out in a diagram first because so many things were affected by that small bloody change it was a frustrating mess I never thought I'd sort through. But I did! And you liked it! So Happy I am!
