One ordinary afternoon, Soraya was waiting for Albus, bored out of her mind. He had gone to buy her chocolate chip and nut ice cream, and she wanted to see if he was back yet.
But at that moment, in the shadows of Diagon Alley, she saw someone.
He was staring at the emeralds Accio-ing around the jewelry store, their surfaces glimmering. It was as if an unfathomably deep sea lay hidden in his eyes, straining to roar away, yet powerless to do so as the seawater swallowed him whole.
Soraya stood frozen.
Then Albus took her hand. His bright blue eyes were like the gentlest ocean beneath a clear sky.
He smiled faintly and gazed at Soraya with calm warmth.
"Soraya, would you like to fly a kite with him?"
From that day on, even the most barren soil could bloom with the loveliest violets.
Strong recommendation, the plot is very interesting, the writing is beautiful and very Rowling. The protagonist Soraya has a very good character, is excellent, careful, and has strong empathy. Other original characters are not OOC. The original trio has not been overshadowed or diminished. Neither Black Lion House nor Dumbledore nor Black Slytherin, they all follow the original work. Very excellent.
Very well written, a rare HP fanfic. Very nice to look at.
