Oh where to start. First of all, ack at the the wave of idiocy and omg at Scorpius getting AK'd! But love, love!, for the afterwards in the hospital wing. Loved the Al, loved the Harry and Draco. The bit about Scorpius's mom not being able to stay, about how still he was in his bed - gak! Broke my heart.

But to back up to other goodness, I loved the first kiss! This:

"You are such an idiot." Al grabs Scorpius's robes, pulls him close and presses his lips against his friend's. For the first time in his life, Scorpius drops a book. Al lets him go. "Girl kisses are just like that, only feebler, and with a lot more giggling."

was adorable. So "casual." Just awesome!
