Author's note: isinuyasha, I hope this was along the lines of what you were hoping for! I admire you so much that I was a little nervous about writing for you, but the prompt was so perfect that I had to try!
Thank you to eidheann_writes for the preliminary read-through and helping me organize the story and identifying the areas that needed fleshing out!

Oh oooh oooh, I'm so excited to read this, I'm sure it'll be awesome! I can't wait to get off work and read it! <3

EDIT:
OMG THIS WAS BRILLIANT! You went way above my expectations with this! I read it during the trainride home and I couldn't stop reading!
It was so lovely to see the "two" different Draco's, the Journal one and the "real" one. They were so different in a way but also so similar, I loved how Draco encouraged Harry via Journal and helped him essentially befriend himself.
Harry is great, his usual self, always confronting problems head on and basically thinking "I will befriend you, whether you like it or not" haha :D
I loved Draco's "nickname", that was beautifully chosen!!!

>>I can’t imagine any world in which starving a child is okay. Is this an appropriate time for a :( ? <<

This time, Harry’s bark of laughter did wake Ron. Covering it up with a coughing fit, Harry smiled at the blearily squinting redhead. “Sorry. Choked. Go back to bed.”

“The butterflies’ll eat ‘em,” Ron mumbled, already drifting off again.

Smiling affectionately, Harry turned back to the journal.

>>I just woke my roommate laughing! Yes, that’s the perfect time for a :(. <<

>>So it made you :)? <<

>>You catch on fast!<<

THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO MUCH, this was brilliant, I loved how Draco learned to use the Smileys...it's just so cute. I imagine their life together after Hogwarts could be like that as well...Draco trying to subtly adapt to Harry's way of living and Harry finding it adorable :D

It was brilliant, you wrote this wonderfully. Thank you so so much!!!
