Summary:

Draco can think of only one way to outclass his pleat-front-khaki-wearing politician ex, and that's by making headlines with an obvious upgrade.

And who better to upstage the cheating bastard than the Saviour of the World, Harry Potter himself?

Sure, Potter is a little rough around the edges in ripped jeans, a rumpled tartan shirt, and a permanent scowl.

Draco reckons a haircut and a shave wouldn't hurt, either.

But Potter is also in need of a Healer willing to keep his secrets, and Draco is just the man for the job.

It's a perfectly reasonable exchange.

They need only attend a couple parties arm-in-arm, smile nicely for the paparazzi, and tolerate each other long enough to convince everyone they're smitten.

In return, Draco will keep Potter alive and in one piece.

But it isn't long before Draco realises he might be in over his head, because Potter is ten tonnes of trouble packed into a leather jacket, and seems keen on hurtling himself towards death on the back of a flying motorbike.

And that says nothing of Potter's penchant for fire-breathing beasts and things that bite.

Ah well, at least they'll have some fun while it lasts.

After all, Draco always did like a bit of danger.

My Feelings & Thoughts:

This is a post-war fic with healer Draco trope! (I just looooove healer Draco fics so much!🤩)

And Harry James Potter is a FUCKING DRAGON TAMER here!!!

OMG!!! My man is SEXY AS HELL in this fic!!!🔥🔥🔥

I swear, this version of Harry is just sooo hot--I mean--God, he casts wandless-wordless magic, wears leather jackets, rides a motorbike and plays around with dragons for a living!

Aaaaaaaaaah!
I'm screaming right now!

And did I talk about the wandless-wordless magic???

Harry casting wandless-wordless magic is the sexiest thing to ever exist!❤️‍🔥

So, the story goes on like this:-

Draco's boyfriend (some random dude named Noah) cheated on thirty-something-year-old Draco with a nineteen-year-old, wet-behind-the-ears teenager!🫠

So, of course, Draco is depressed, humiliated and pissed! 😡
He wants his revenge!🔥

And won't you know, Harry Potter arrives at St Mungo's around the same time frame! (He was trying to tame a dragon but the situation got out of control)

And Draco's kind of the best healer there is . . . so he's the one to treat Harry!

Then Draco gets this amazing idea to parade Harry around as his boyfriend! And Harry agrees! 😁

Together, they attend social events, have lunch dates at fancy restaurants, run into Draco's ex kind of everywhere . . .

At first, Draco thinks it all for show. But is it really?😉

The feelings begin to deepen and our boys slowly begin to fall for each other!

This is such a beautiful story! Well-written! Engaging plotline! Also, Harry is so SEXY and Draco is so precious! 💕

Loved every moment of it!💖

Fav Scene from this fic:

(Draco being Draco while stitching Harry's wound and wearing glasses 🤭👓😎)

He (Draco) unshrank the medical kit he kept in his jacket pocket as Potter stretched out his injured arm.

Draco extracted a spool of surgical thread and his reading glasses, which he placed on the edge of his nose, and pulled Potter's arm across his thighs. He removed temporary suturing spells and before the wound could bleed, set to work on a tidy row of stitches, his wand gently guiding the thread.

"I didn't know you wore glasses," Potter said, bemused.

"I imagine there is a very long list of things you don't know, Potter," Draco muttered.

"It's just— I seem to remember someone making fun of mine back in the day."

Draco glanced up from his work, over the tops of his frames. "That's because yours are hideous and mine are Prada."
