Hii love!! I love your blog soooo much! I'm so glad that you still do fic recs! I wanted to ask for one (if you can't do it I totally understand) Can you please make a list where Harry and Draco are roommates at Hogwarts? (Preferably with smut included) THANK YOUUU ❤️
hi! could you possibly rec specifically a slow burn 8th year fic for me where h/d are in the same room?? maybe like written on the heart or lumos. thank you so much & i hope you’re having a lovely day!!💗
Hello, lovelies! I love this trope so so much, and I’ve been looking forward to making this list for weeks! Since you both specified Hogwarts/8th year, I’m not going to include any fics in which Harry and Draco share a flat after graduating. There are a lot of fics like that as well, but that’ll have to be for another list! <3
Hogwarts Roommates HD Fic Recs
Lumos by birdsofshore (41.5K)- Harry never expected to spend eighth year listening to Draco Malfoy wanking.I loved loved loved this fic absolutely to death. If you know me, you know I love some good old shameless wanking, and THIS FIC HAS JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF IT (that is to say- a lot). And then there were even a few incredibly touching moments as well, and it’s truly a perfect roommate fic <3
Written on the Heart by who_la_hoop (114K)- Harry doesn’t mind that so many Slytherins from his year have returned to finish their NEWTs, really he doesn’t. It’s just – do they have to be so friendly? He’s not prejudiced, really he’s not. It’s just – they’ve got to be up to something, right? Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him. When he’s hit by an illegal love-spell though, Harry finds he has more to worry about than whether or not Blaise Zabini actually wants to be his friend. For if everyone affected has been blessed – or cursed, by the look on Malfoy’s face – with a magical tattoo revealing the name of their soulmate, what does it mean that Harry’s skin remains completely bare?FUCKING INCREDIBLE LONGEST SOULMARK AU EVER, which basically means I will forever love this fic with all of my heart. Harry has to move to the Slytherin (SLYTHERIN!!!) boys dorm, so it’s not just H/D alone as roommates, but IT COUNTS. Another all-around amazing fic with too many good parts to praise <3
Something I don’t Want to Stop by traintracks (16K)- It’s Harry and Draco’s eighth year, the Houses have been all but demolished in favor of unity, and they’re being forced to room together. How ever will they cope?I dare you to read this summary and then tell me you don’t want to read the fic. You CAN’T, because it’s everything you’ve ever wanted in a roommate fic!!! THEY EVEN HAVE TO TEACH A CLASS TOGETHER!!! And there may or may not be more wanking 👀
The Standard You Walk Past by bafflinghaze (46K)- On returning to Hogwarts for their Eighth Year, Headmistress McGonagall decided to room Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter together. She may have hoped for a leading example of house unity; the other students fully expected insults and fights. But nothing happened. That was, until Harry sleepwalked into Draco’s bed.WHO DOESN’T LOVE SLEEPWALKING??? (hint: the answer is nobody). A very sweet and fluffy (and a little angsty) slow burn. Also, there’s a really cool aspect/trope that I only caught on to halfway through the fic, and I was shocked that I’d missed it! Read and see if you’re more discerning than I was!!
Kiss the Joy (Until the Sun Rise) by ICMezzo (38K)- The Room of Requirement was severely damaged in the war, but not so much that it could not provide for one lost student and another young hero—especially when they needed each other most of all.Okay this is probably not exactly what the anons were thinking of when they asked for Drarry being roommates at Hogwarts, but technically this fic does fit within those parameters! Harry and Draco both hide from the real world in the weeks immediately following the war, and they BOTH chose to hide in the Room of Requirement. Petty fights and slow reconciliation follows. Truly amazing and beautiful (slow burn!) fic!!
Instruction for a Misplaced Slytherin by @bixgirl1 (8.5K)- Potter stared at him with an intense, indecipherable expression. He cleared his throat. “You know what? It would be easier to learn if you just showed me,” he said abruptly. In which Draco has a crush but fancies himself kind, Harry is oblivious but overly ambitious (and the teensiest bit sneaky), and things get dirty really fast.MY (not at all) GUILTY PLEASURE 8TH YEAR ROOMMATE FIC!!! Jesus, I could read this one 3289 times and still squeal in excitement every time because DAMN it’s hot. DRACO. TEACHES. HIS. ROOMMATE. HARRY. HOW. TO. SEX.
Unexpected Consequences by lauren3210 (39K)- Harry was going back to school. He was going to play Quidditch, sleep in lessons, hang out with his friends, and generally just enjoy being a kid for a change. And he was also going to do it while being bonded with Malfoy, because apparently life was just going to continue throwing curveballs at him. Harry didn’t know why he expected anything different.I love this fic so so dearly! I suppose it technically fits more on a “magical bonds” list (and it’ll go on there when I make that one!) but they’re also roommates and they have their own private fancy suite and it’s a BLESSING. The bond forces Draco to do whatever Harry says so the Ministry can allow him back at school— and also so we can read some amazing af flangst
Crup-tion of the Not-So-Innocent by Calanthe (17K)- If you thought that befriending Draco Malfoy would be easier than defeating the Dark Lord you’d be wrong. Harry Potter has to grow another pair of legs and a forked tail before he can break down the frosty barrier blocking the way into Malfoy’s heart (and his underpants).Harry and Draco both have to live in the dungeons when they return to Hogwarts the summer after the war (because those are the only rooms left in tact). Draco refuses to even consider being amicable to Harry. That is, until Harry gains a new skill and Draco turns out to be a surprise animal lover ;)
Stay With Me by jeni_andtheafterthought (2.5K)- With some effort, Draco Malfoy can keep his eyes off Harry Potter. Though, he can’t help hearing him.Some god old eighth year roommate getting together smut.
In Evidence of Magical Theory by @bixgirl1 (43.5K)- In which Harry and Draco can’t fight, and so they fall in love instead. When a hex meant for Draco accidentally catches Harry as well, the pair are forced to learn to understand each other in ways they previously might have thought impossible.Another forced bonding fic!!! I’m such a sucker for them. They don’t start out as roommates in this one, but they definitely end up there! And as… bed mates hehehehe. Also the magical theory in this fic is fantastic and I loved thinking about it so much and there should be a thousand fics based on the background info in this one!!!
