Setting: Hogwarts 8th Year
Tags:
Harry lay still, his heart banging against his ribs. All was silent at first, and he wondered if he had dreamed it, but no, there it was again. A low, breathless sound, then a slow exhalation, as if Malfoy was hurt, or perhaps—
Oh.

4.5 stars. The set up for this fic was fun - I think it realistic to think that returning 8th year students would have to be slotted in wherever possible, and mixing up the traditional houses in the post-war setting would be a must. I especially like the idea of the trio branching out for friends with the newly-imposed roommates.

"Why don’t you come over here?"

The scene where Malfoy *dies* But what got me the most was the real-time slow delve into some of the canon events that occurred during their past year before the war ended. And to be honest, the whole evolution of their eventual relationship was just lovely.

Lumos: ★ ★ ★

Birdsofshore

Tropes:
– Draco/Harry fanfiction
– Enemies with benefits to lovers
– Forced proximity (roommates)
– Lessons in sex
– 8th year

When the gang returns to Hogwarts for the eighth year, Harry is dreading having to room with Draco.

Short and spicy, but extremely minimal emotional development. What starts off as an enemies with benefits arrangement eventually turns into something more due to their forced proximity of being roommates in the 8th year but I just wish we got to see HOW it turned into something more. It just seemed like all of a sudden Harry started craving the closeness and exclusivity and emotions but I just would’ve loved to see more of that develop from both sides rather than straight spice.

I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s my first Drarry and it won’t be my last.

Not gonna lie, I was very curious how the roommate situation would be depicted in this story. I thought it was done well. At the beginning, Harry is very inexperienced, so I adored his blushes and denials. Draco is Draco.

Nothing like listening to your enemy wank every night right? The evolution of the interactions between Harry and Draco were great. I felt that the evolution was very on par for what an eighteen year old boy would experience. It was a lot of fun to see these two go from hating each other to so much more.

“Why don’t you come over here?”

In my exclusively reads fanfic era, and loving it so far. This fic had a very creative prompt: what if after the war, the students have to return to Hogwarts to retake their 7th year, but the 8th years have to sleep in shared rooms? Two people per room, Houses be damned, totally random? What if Draco and Harry have to share?
Damn it was hilarious.

But not just that, Draco got up to very interesting activities during the night hahhahaha. Overall it was rlly sweet and spicy, the scenes very well written, but the angst over the relationship (if it can be called that) was a bit much bc the fic was too short so i didn’t feel rlly emotionally invested. Other than that, chefs kiss! The Lumos scenes were rlly cute.

Drarry
Such a good one. Draco & Harry shares a room and some tension of awkward nighly noises escalates slowly. I love this horny roommates trope and with one of my favorite couples: even better!!
It was hot but also sweet at times. Highly recommended to Drarry fans!!

Harry and Draco are assigned to be roommates in Year 8 of Hogwarts. It does not go quite as they expected. I enjoyed this one and thought the writing was excellent. However, I wish it had been a little less repetitive and there were new experiences to be had. IYKYN.

This was such a surprise and delight! A completely perfect imagination of a relationship between Harry and Draco that became so sweet and heartwarming.
