Defence Against the Love Arts

So Draco and Harry, long-time rivals, find themselves crossing paths once again in the halls of Hogwarts. How has the war changed their enmity? Will they manage to bridge the gap between them?
Dear readers,
this story is being published alongside its original version in my native language. I first began writing it eight years ago, then took a break, and now I'm returning to finally finish it. Because the story was quite well received in my native language, I've decided to start releasing it in English as well. As I've mentioned, English is not my first language. Please forgive any awkward phrasing or occasional grammatical errors. I hope you will enjoy your reading anyway!
A heads-up: the story moves slowly, and the relationship between Harry and Draco develops very gradually. I hope that won't put you off, I promise we'll get to it.
