Notes: A, you are the best beta a girl could want. Thank you for helping me make sense of my crazy mind. appleling, thank you so much for putting up with me. I’m afraid I might have been the cause of a lot of headaches for you. I ♥ you so much. And to the readers, I really enjoyed playing in this universe. A sequel would not be out of the question.
Summary: Harry is the youngest Healer to ever run a hospital. Draco is his best Healer, and along with his world class team of Hermione Granger, Theodore Nott, and Zacharias Smith, they solve cases that no one else can crack. This doesn’t mean that Draco isn’t still the world’s biggest prat, even if he is sexy. Harry has no intention of sleeping with him — again — especially when he continues to obsess over dead patients and put his hospital at risk.

Fantastic fusion! I like how you weaved the two worlds and the characters chosen for the House counterparts. So many perfect little details for both the Muggle and magical worlds. well done, MA!

Not only did I love this story, you reminded me why I loved those early seasons of House MD so much other than the obvious answer of Hugh Laurie! Your casting was spot on and Draco was as grumpy-yet-loveable as House was. The Esther storyline was touching and added a nice tenderness to Draco's character. Oh, and the disgruntled couple from the beginning was very funny! Great work!

Your Draco makes the best House. :D I loved it; the start made me laugh. I think you chose the character for their House counterparts perfectly. I really enjoyed this story. Great adaptation!

That was so cute. It was really well done!

Loved this, House was one of my favourite shows and you got the mix of Greg House and Draco spot on :-)

This was wonderful! I love their conversation at the end-about how Draco is screwed up and always will be and Harry just accepting that and not trying to change it or save him or anything.

Awesome! This was absolutely pure delight to devour! I love how you've fused both words together to form this wonderful amalgamation of both worlds! The concept was intriguing and it felt cute and funny and exciting all at once! You had me grinning like a lunatic from the very beginning of this fic and flailing in fangirly delight every now and then. By the time I reached the ending, I was a happy, mushy, 100% satisfied pile of fluff. I love that you made Draco the blond equivalent of House and I love reading Harry as Cuddy! I love that Draco is as grumpy and manipulative as House and so very much lovable all the same! I love all the interesting medical details, both muggle and magical, that you've weaved into the story. Wonderful adaptation of the original and very nicely executed! I love, love, love it!

P.S. Aww! Thank you for the sweet note! ILU too! So much! ♥ ♥ ♥

Okay, you know what. The mere fact that you cast Harry as 'Cuddy' makes me love you alone.

I loved this. It had everything I love in it about House, about Harry and Draco in general.... it was wonderful.

Thank you for writing this. It made my day.

Just a little way into this fic so far, but let me say -- I love how you're mixing the medical and Magical worlds here! Sanitation charms as an explanation for a Muggle medical condition! Draco's House is deliciously snarky.

I'm really late to this, but I just have to comment.

I think I love you. And this fic needs to have a boatload of more comments, really. I love how you worked with the adaptation and how so unforced all of it is. Draco makes a perfect House, and I love his moments of vulnerability. The thing about his deteriorating leg made me ache for him, but his pride! Oh his pride... he's such a deliciously proud Malfoy and I love it.

This is masterful and I've bookmarked this on my diigo with 5 stars attached to it, so you're in the very great company of the likes of blamebrampton, mirabellawotr and other awesome HP fic authors I've loved over the years. This fic is definitely worthy of the company.

This was fantastic. Spot on with Draco as House! And Goyle? Loved it.
