This is the story I've been working on for the past couple months. It began as a response to [livejournal.com profile] 15minuteficlets word #67 (Pause), tacked on a response to words #69 and #70 (Building on Sand), and continued to grow from there. Somewhere along the line it acquired a theme and something that might be termed a plot, though its structure and time-flow remain fairly haphazard.

To forestall questions: no, I don't know the overall course of the war, nor how Harry killed Voldemort, and I don't particularly care. All that matters is that they did win, though not without a price, and life continues in the aftermath. Also, this is a one-shot. It is not the start of chaptered story.

(It will have a sequel, of sorts, but "Paint the Town" is a horse of a different color. "Restoration" is genfic. "Paint the Town" is very definitely not.)

Restoration (FictionAlley version)

Restoration (Fanfiction.net version)

I'd advise reading the FF.net version. It was posted several months after the FA version, which gave me the chance to revise it in light of some questions and comments from FA reviewers. The changes are most notable in Draco's section, "Second Chances."
