I have another German in my life who I adore (though not in the same way as Nick). Her name is ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
catsintheattic and she writes in the Harry Potter fandom. She asked me if I would like to be part of her beta team for her fic she was entering in the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hd_career_fair . I said, "Of course!"
Seems Cats was inspired somewhat by a post I made on writing mysteries, and turned her entry for the fair into a mystery. I had a blast beta'ing this fic, and so I'm pimping it here for any of my flisties who might enjoy it. It starts out with a haunting scene that made me sit up and take notice (Cats has a knack for this kind of thing, I must say) and dabbles in the gruesome a bit, which of course I love. Harry's relationship with Draco starts out not from hate but from tolerance (this is post-war) and evolves into more, but not easily. I haven't read many HP fics, I admit, but I liked that she made this choice, and jumped their relationship from that rather than hatred. Draco has a hell of a time making his way in life, but Cats makes him a sympathetic character, and I for one really get a kick out of the thought of Draco turning to cooking when being a hard-core wizard is no longer an option. He makes a different sort of magic in this fic, and Harry falls quite hard under Draco's spell.
So here's the link to the original post: The Way to a Man's Heart. Enjoy!
