my_drarry_recsTitle: The Claiming of Grimmauld Place
Author:bixgirl1
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 74,200 Approx.
Summary: When Grimmauld Place begins fighting against Harry’s ownership of it, he decides he needs help to train the historic home — but little does he expect that it’ll be Malfoy who’s most suitable for the challenge. However, as Malfoy and Harry get closer, Harry comes to understand that expectations aren’t always the best path by which to guide his heart — and in the process learns just what is needed to make a house a home.
This story is gorgeous! It's got one of my favourite tropes: Harry/Draco housemates! :) As the summary says, Grimmauld Place has been fighting Harry, it's not letting him into some rooms (oh god, the bathroom among other places) so Harry's looking for a housemate who has experience in generational wizarding homes. Enters Draco Malfoy (after a few other interviews that were hilarious btw), who is, of course, a perfect candidate.
And that's how Harry and Draco (and Draco's improbable exotic pet!!!) start living together. At first the house starts behaving just with Draco's presence but the problem is, the problem for Harry is that Draco's never around, you know? Where does he go? ;) So he demands that Draco starts giving him lessons in how to grace himself to his house. Naturally sparks start to fly, but it's a bit complicated because they are living together, though that doesn't quite stop them, but then Draco's not ready to have the sort of relationship Harry wants to have—and there's the mystery of where Draco spends all his time when he's not in the house.
There are so many beautiful interactions, the characterisations are awesome, Ron is fantastic, but there's also Luna and Ginny and Pansy and Hermione and Gregg, the exotic pets I mentioned, Harry and Draco's growing feelings for each other, Grimmauld Place slowly accepting Harry, it's an incredible story! :)
