When the gang ends up back at Hogwarts for their 8th year, McGonagall proposes a Yule Ball to raise morale and promote inter-house unity. Unfortunately, that means obligatory dance lessons. Even more unfortunately, Harry’s a shit dancer and Draco doesn’t know the meaning of ‘follow.’

It was only after careful consideration that Draco came to the wildly preposterous conclusion that he and Potter were actually friends.

can you rec some cliche they have to partner in potions fics pls?

Sure. Split into Hogwarts era and eighth year. I included summaries as well, just because Potions is the central plot point in some of these and not in others. Thought I’d give you a heads up.

Hogwarts:

The Beginning Two lonely boys, and one art project.

Five (A Study of Senses) There’s something about Malfoy that always seems to break through to all of Harry’s senses no matter what.

It’s All About the Subterfuge He tipped his head toward Harry and said in a low voice “Finnigan is all right, but Blaise has a much nicer arse, trust me.” Harry looked incredulously at Malfoy, who nodded very seriously.

He’s Not Worth It “He’s not worth it.” How many times had Harry heard that one?

Origins It started as a rumour on the Hogwarts Express.

Too Darn Hot The heat is a Slytherin’s enemy. Doom, doom, doom.

Eighth Year:

Balloon Theory After Harry finds Malfoy abandoned in the muggle world, his life takes a turn for the bizarre. Hogwarts is not what it used to be, his friendships are unstable at best, and there’s something strange about the way Malfoy has been acting… Note: Harry and Draco are Potions co-tutors.

Dense Draco reflects on how dense his new potions partner is.

Halfway Through October He does not feel bad. He still wants to shove Malfoy against a wall and kiss him.

In Plain Sight Draco Malfoy had stopped believing his wishes would be granted long ago. He could perhaps be forgiven for being startled, then, when one of them came true.

More Than Half a Smile Ever since Harry came back to Hogwarts for his eighth year, Malfoy has been responding to everything anyone does with half a smile. It doesn’t take long for Harry to realize that what he really wants is something more.

Ostriches Harry finds himself more ostracized than ever before, and finds an unlikely companion in Malfoy, also shunned. How will the others react to their friendship, and how long will it take the dense boys to realize they want more than that?

Trajectories “So,” said Hermione one morning, “I’ve decided not to return to school next year.” And that was how Harry found out that he was going back to Hogwarts.

Twice as Much as an Earthquake Accidental bonding. Breaking and entering. Conspiring, however unwillingly, in the strange one-man war Malfoy’s waging against detention. This isn’t the normal school year Harry anticipated having, but at least it’s not boring.

Hi! Do you know any 8th year fics that would be like, really angsty and sad and ugh and with like believable post-war stuff happening, but also like with hope for the future and also a bit (a lot) of fluff and stuff. Basically, I've read wat too many 8th year fics where everything seems to be too well and everyone's happy even though they were in a fucking war a few months ago, and I want something realistic. Yeah thanks xx

Yeah, I see what you mean. Many of these do err on the angsty side, however, so check summaries, warnings, etc. * for favorites.

Harry really should know better than to make any sort of bet with a Slytherin.

This is what happens when you destroy one of the eighth-year dorm beds with a fire curse and are therefore left with one less than you should have.
