Title: Of Infinite Longings
Author: lauren3210
Prompt: Draco has been hiding his love of literature because he can't be a cool Prince of Slytherin that way. Left with no expectation this year, Draco throw himself to the thing he loves.
Word Count: 6730
Rating: R
Contains: A lot of talk about books being the best thing ever; author’s shameless use of characters to explain why books are the best thing ever; books, basically.
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.
Epilogue compliant?: Noooooope.
Summary: Draco likes books. Harry doesn’t, but he thinks he might like Draco.
Author’s Notes: Dear prompter, my brain decided that you meant Muggle literature, I hope that’s okay. None of the quotes used are mine, I just borrowed them to help make my point about books being awesome. Title taken from the poem by Rainer Maria Rilke.

I loved this so, so much. At first I thought it was going to be like "The Reader" (which is one of my all-time favourite H/D stories), but you went in a different direction, and did it perfectly - I like this story even better. The atmosphere was totally magical throughout. Thank you.
