icarusI like Cassandra Claire. I eagerly read her stories. Do I think they're canon? No. Do I care? No, not really. The little red flags go up, but I keep reading. Not many people can get away with that with me.
And here's why:
It was a hell of a kiss, too.
Not that it mattered much, in practice, although perhaps, Harry would think later, it mattered in some kind of principle. At the time he was mainly aware of shock, a jolting sort of shock that seemed to fling the breath right out of him and he was suddenly pressed back up against the wall and the wet stone ground hard into his back and he was shivering all over and he would have thought that being smashed up against a wall like this by Draco would have offered some kind of warmth but really, it didn't.
Any questions? There's really nothing more to say.
'After the Flood' will remain my favourite of her stories, however. The image of Draco's hand shaking as he lit a cigarette is poignant.
