Summary: After a night of drinking, Harry Potter has a love bite the size of Wales on his neck and an unsigned note from the man who gave it to him in his pocket. The only problem? He can't quite remember who he brought home with him the night before. And what's got Draco Malfoy in such a strop?


If you like oblivious!Harry and hopelessly!smitten!Draco you're going to love this story.

Read the summary, and now read this:

“Amazing?” Draco laughed, a high, hysterical sound of disbelief. “How would you even know? You can't remember anything about him.”

“That's not true,” Harry argued. “I remember...things.” And Harry did remember things: the curve of his lover's arse, the width of his pale back, the spread of blonde, sweat-soaked hair against his pillow, the incredible rush of affection and post-orgasmic peace he felt before sleep overtook him. That was about it, though.

That's all I'm going to say about this fic. That, and that it's lovely.

Summary: This is an Eighth Year at Hogwarts story in which Harry and Draco are a couple of months into a relationship which began during the summer immediately following the defeat of Voldemort. In the absence of old friends and enemies, and during the first flush of a new relationship, everything has gone swimmingly until they found themselves back at Hogwarts for an extra post-war year. Draco can be anxious and prattish, while Harry finds it hard to give up saving the world. It might involve stupidly creative use of a time-turner on Harry’s part that could threaten to overturn recent history and put even the defeat of Voldemort in jeopardy (well, that last part’s perhaps a bit of an exaggeration, but sounds like a good hook!).


This is such a wonderful story. It's the first day of the 8th Years back at Hogwarts and Harry and Draco being in a relationship for a while now.

It's sweet and entertaining, and playful and sexy, yet meaningful and deep at the same time. And it's very clever, too. The dialogues are really smart, the interaction in the 8th year common room are really fantastic, and as brief as they might be, it manages to set the tone for what the rest of the year is going to be like.

And it's really just that, Harry and Draco first day back in the castle, with a bit of a nightmare thrown in, but mostly is about Harry and Draco's relationship, and now amazingly brilliant they are together. Like I said, it's wonderful.
