Beautiful story.  The progression is lovely as both boys receive healing and find a way to move from the battles into the time afterwards.

Beautiful.  Whatever sort of friendship they go on to have, they've developed a sort of brotherhood between them by allowing themselves to share what they had in common and move from there to the things that are different.

Le sigh. I enjoyed this journey of discovery with Longbottom and Malfoy. I hope you will continue their friendship in later stories as they mature and marry and have children. It's a beautiful and well written piece of work. Thank you. ^_^

It appears I have the honor of being the first to review here at Part 2.  This is a profoundly moving, and beautifully rendered depiction of these two young men.  I am so pleased that you have given Draco his humanity and in so doing, allowed Severus to also have his remembered.  And Neville is simply a treausre.  This goes into Favorites as we speak !!
