I wrote The Snitch-Maker for this years HD Career Fair. As I said in my A/N I rewrote it about four times, until I settled on Draco's PoV rather than Harry's. After that it all fell into place.
A huge thank you to
birdsofshore for pre-reading, and to
icmezzo for doing a great beta (and helping me untangle the tangled bits of the story).
I was hugely inspired on the Snitch-making front by this bbc interview with / video about a scissor-maker (US-friendly link) - such wonderful craftmanship and gentle intensity about getting his work just right. I watched it umpteen times while writing the story. :)
Title: The Snitch-Maker
Rating: PG-13
Warnings/Content Notes: Small disability for Harry (permanently injured knee)
Summary: Draco is content with his Snitches, with the tap tap tap of his hammer, and the tiny gears and sharp scent of metal in his workshop - until one day Harry Potter appears, asking for help to solve a rash of Snitch-tampering in the Quidditch world.
