Title: Road to Recovery

Author: ki_rivers

Trope/content/warnings: anxiety and panic attacks, PTSD

Summary:

After the Battle of Hogwarts, all students were asked to return to repeat their year for a proper education, much unlike what they received the previous year with Death Eaters and professors. After Draco helps Harry calm down after a panic attack, they quickly learn that mental and physical changes (such as Draco's died blue hair) were not the only changes that took place, but emotional as well.

Review:

I love this book! I had been looking for a Drarry fanfic (or just any Harry Potter fanfic in general) that is realistic regarding post-war trauma. War effects everyone, whether you fought in battle or not. Soldiers, on BOTH sides of the war, come home with PTSD, depression, anxiety etc. It downplays the severity of the situation when everyone, or most people, come out unscathed. In this fanfic everyone, students and teachers, are dealing with some form of PTSD. It shows just how damaging war is to society, how broken everyone is, and how slowly but surely they are pricing each other back together. I have already read this book a total of three times! It's one of the best fics I've read.

Luna: *sniffs* My poor babies....

Harry: What's wrong with her?

Draco: She read a Post-War fanfic.

Harry: Oh.... *hugs Draco tightly* I love you and thank you.
