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.

So this fic, I DEVOURED. Brilliant read and I'd definitely recommend it to absolutely anyone. I just adore it and it's only been up for a few hours. Can everyone just read it already? KUDOS TO THE AUTHOR.

I just really like Doctor Harry, okay?!

This is wonderfully written! Can't deny that I'm smitten with Doctor Harry myself after the reading.
Great job <3

That was so entertaining! It was driving me half crazy, all those secrets. Well, half-truths, rather. I loved how smitten Draco was with Harry. And Harry! <3 I was smitten with him myself.

I loved how he turned Theo green-- with envy. LOL!

Very good adaptation of the movie, and I loved all the original twists. :D

Dear God. This is unbelievable. Lol it is amazing. And not just... 'amazing amazing' but rather, 'f-ckingsuperbhonestlyawstounding-leavesyouspeechless-amazing...'

And Draco's 'Father needs to bankrupt someone's' is too good to pass up. I like his parents in this too. Amazingly well writing and by that- I'm sure you know which 'amazing' I mean.

Thanks for sharing. Made my day after my exams lol

OMG, this is one of the ones I was waiting on pins and needles for, and I ADORE IT! I'm pretty sure I know who the kudos go to, but fantastically good on you anonymous author!!!

[thusspakekate.livejournal.com]

That was such a fun, delightful read! I really enjoyed it. I absolutely loved the friendship between Draco, Blaise, and Pansy. And Theo was the worst kind of prat, I'm so glad it was Draco who rejected him in the end!

And ohmygod, that last line! fjlkdjkl!!!

Great story! Thank you!

Awww.. That was really good and enjoyable to read. Very entertaining and wonderfully written. Smitten Draco, smitten Harry, and cold but loving Lucius, ahhh I love every character on this fic. Thanks for amazing fics... :)

OMG, I love it!! Harry is so smitten~~ luv, luv, luv.

Where do I even begin with how happy this made me? Everything within this lovely fic was such a delight to devour! Its tone is warm and inviting and story itself is the perfect soothing romance and oh, it gives me ALL THE HAPPY, FLUFFY FEELS. The characters though... they are the sole highlights of this story!

Your Harry is possibly one of the most amazing gifts to mankind fanfiction, and romance fanfiction at that. Your Harry makes the world go round! At least, he does that to my world (and I suspect, Draco's too, for that matter). You made him so wonderful and adorable and such a smitten kitten that.... seriously, I don't really have words for just how wonderful I find him because every word I come across seem to pale in comparison with ALL THE FEELS I have about him. Your Draco too is a delight to read because I empathize with him so much. He's an adorable mixture of vulnerability and strength, of snark and innocence and of obliviousness. And oh, don't even get me started on Pansy and Blaise, and Lucius (can I keep him?! Can I, can I, can I oh please, can I keep Lucius?? *grabby hands*) and Narcissa! They're all equally wonderful!

Very lovely adaptation of the original and I'm happy to say I enjoyed it every much :D

Wow, that was really amazing. I absolutely enjoyed reading this fic. One of the most adorable characterizations of Draco I've seen. Draco and Lucius' scene towards the end made me go aaawwww. Haha. Great job!

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.

This was truly an amazing story. I enjoyed all the different friend circles and side pairings and connections. Now I have a need for more Ron/Blaise fics lol. It was really refreshing to read something that was really different and new from all the fiction that has already been done. Kudos on a job well done!

[blackcatdeath.livejournal.com]

Absolutely loved it! Great job!!! :D

The link isn't working anymore and I'd love to read it.

[bottomdraco-mod.livejournal.com]

Hello dear. I've double checked the link and there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, the page with the fic hosted on it functions just fine. Maybe double check your browser or your internet connection? Or refresh the page?

This was a joy to read! I don't know the original source, but this made me laugh several times (green!Theo). Kudos to you, MA.

This was so much fun to read. The angst was just right to leave my heart aching but not leave me depressed, and the sweetness and humour have me feeling sated. Pansy and Blaise were adorable as the BFF's. It was interesting to have the Slytherin trio without the Gryffindor one. The dynamic with Theo and Astoria was all very well done for delicious drama. I was so glad Draco punched Theo, but I felt a little sorry for him, too.

My very favourite bit was the scene where Harry is playing innocent by pretending to sleep in Draco's lap. It was just so cute, funny, and sweet!

[sherryillk.livejournal.com]

I love how this was adapted from The Wedding Date and yet you still managed to blend a bit of Royal Pains in it as well. Wonderful read!

[dragontara]

What a wonderful story! It was so refreshing to see all these new (at least for me) pairings and different dynamics between Slytherins and Gryffindors - very enjoyable indeed.

And who could resist playing doctor with Harry... yummie! I just hope Lucius doesn't have to bankrupt Harry's practise for any reason... ;)
