Summary: Voldemort has issued a proposition: if Harry Potter will return to Hogwarts for his seventh year, no harm will come to the students’ families. Harry’s saving-people-thing won’t let him say no. (AU 7th year)


This story is an AU, as Harry, instead of going hunting for the remaining Horcruxes, goes back to Hogwarts so the rest of the student's families aren't harmed, as was Voldemort's threat.

And it's really, really cool, because Harry becomes sort of the leader of the rebellion against the Carrows, who are deeply horrible, along with Neville and Ginny and the rest of the DA. The tactics they use are super original (Graffitis, Polyjuicing themselves into Snape, etc.), and of course, there's Draco, who is a constant obsession of Harry's, and who is much more subdued this year, hardly surprising as he's living with the threat of torture and death over his head.

Eventually though, Harry offers Draco his help, and though not gracefully at all Draco ends up accepting (I mean, don't you love it when Draco makes it sounds like he's the one doing Harry favours??), and he hides Draco in the Room of Requirement where much smut ensues.

And really, fumbling, awkward, wonderful smut! It's got an awesome snarky Draco and the Harry, brave, loyal and earnest we all love.

The ending it a little bit abrupt, or maybe I just didn't want it to end just yet. ^^

Have you found a link to this story? The summary seems absolutely perfect and I'm so sad that the links are down :-(
