Summary

Harry returns to Hogwarts for his 8th year, determined not to let Malfoy get to him. But when the snarky teasing starts up again, Harry finds that returning the jibes with compliments has a far more interesting outcome.

That was totally adorable, Harry is just so socially awkward trying to give compliments. I loved it :).

This is great. Completely Harry and Draco. I loved the inclusion of the ghosts of the final battle as well.

This was a great story. I loved Draco's reactions! And the ghosts added such depth. Good read :)

Oh my goodness, I loved this story! I have been in the mood for a fluffy, funny, flangsty sort of Hogwarts fic all afternoon and I read some dire stuff before I found this but it was so worth it. Your drunk Draco is ADORABLE and the bit where he decides to stroke Harry's face is just *flail* I don't have the words I need, I'm sorry, but this gave me so many awesome feelings, and the end, fucking hell. When Draco gets the box of gobstones with the note I bloody well teared up and that is entirely your fault. I just loved this so much. I'm going to read it to my wife when she gets home and then we can flail together. Thanks so much for this gorgeous story. Nat x

This is perfection. A really well-rounded story with everyone genuinely in character. Really, this given me actual book-like pleasure on top of all the perfect Harry/Draco slow build.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story.... there's always a special place in my heart for old school Hogwarts fic, featuring the school in war and peace and its special magic of nooks and crannies, ghost and budding friendships and love. Love the boys here... so confused and awkward and adorable in their own way, very 3D in their characterization. I can feel the mark on them from the war, more acute on Draco but definitely on Harry as well, as they try to find their way in their life and determine and find what they need. Adore the details you have in the fic -- Callum and his friendship with Draco, Tonks (what a nice surprise), where they live on the West Tower and their friends, who no matter what their screen time is offers something to the story. It makes for a very feel good read, and makes me smile very happily, very blissfully at the end for the hope it offers. :)

This was such a wonderful story. I could see their interactions so vividly in my head with the way you described them, and I especially liked your Harry ... all adorably awkward and perfectly him. The scenes with Tonks and Callum were very interesting and unique, as well. Really, just an amazing story all around. Great work!

What an amazing read! I've loved every single word of it. The characterisation was perfect, the subplot with the ghosts a lovely touch and all the after-war feelings spot on. I love what you did with Draco and Harry's relationship. Well done! :)

This was so adorable. I suddenly just felt like reading some Drarry, and well, it was more than perfect. Oh my, and Draco's reactions to the compliments at the beginning... it was hilarious! And nice and long and everything... And I got shivers from reading the part of the crossing. Job well done!

"Hey -- yours looks just like the picture. What did you do?""Um. I followed the directions, Potter. You should try it."↑ Gee, Harry, REALLY? XD"Can I ask why?""Cause." Malfoy let his hand fall to his side, swinging loosely back and forth. "'M gonna die of 'mbarassment as i' is."↑ Awwwww, you cutie. XD"Er. . .," Harry stuttered. "Good study habits," he pointed at Malfoy's books and nodded. "That's-- that's good." Malfoy raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. He looked at Harry for a moment and then, when Harry hadn't managed anything else, he turned back to his books and flipped a page."Wait-" Harry said. A bored stare was not the reaction he was trying to get. Malfoy looked up again, rested his chin on his fist and waited. "Um. . ."Harry blundered. Malfoy's eyes were wide and he blinked slowly. "Your shoes are shiny."↑ PFFFT. Oh, nice, Draco. :D "So, last night you were --?""Playing Gobstones, you nosy fuck!"↑ *snortdies*Professor Grubbly-Plank, who was covering the class until a permanent hire was made, said the use of Expelliarmus against Avada Kedavra was "far-fetched."↑ BECAUSE IT TOTALLY IS AND THAT WAS SUCH A COP-OUT, JKR."And then you started avoiding me -- "Malfoy's voice rose nearly an octave. "I started avoiding you!" He shook his head. "Uh, yeah? You've been following me like a deranged psycho and then I pet your fucking face!"↑ *SNERK*Malfoy looked like he had Harry right where he wanted him -- there was excitement in his eyes, and triumph -- it was a bit like the face he'd make right before he caught the Snitch. Harry only knew what that looked like because he'd zoomed in with his Omnioculars during a few Ravenclaw-Slytherin matches. And then he'd replayed it a couple of times. In slow-motion. Come to think of it, perhaps it was a bit odd that he'd zoomed into Malfoy's face instead of watching the Snitch. ↑ Oh, obsessive stalker Harry is so my favourite.It was still a blowjob when it was two blokes, right?Or did they call that a blokejob? Hmmm. ↑ Oh, god, they're so oblivious it hurts, and it's wonderful. XD"I'm a Slytherin, not a thief.""What's the difference?""The difference," he said, "is that I made Crabbe steal it for me." ↑ Oooh, sneaky Slytherin, my precious pet. XDBy the end of the year, nearly every Hogwarts student had come to know and love Tonks, who'd looked out for Callum like he was her own son. ↑ Awwwwwwwww, Tonks! ;_;As it turned out, Binns truly never knew he was dead. When someone stopped him and told him, he immediately left his post, demanding to be reunited with his children.↑ *SNORT*It was a Gold-label collector's Chinese Gobstone set. A piece of parchment was Spello-taped to the lid. "Those are the rules," his mother added. "For some reason, he was adamant we Spello-tape them to the outside of the box."↑ Oh, god, I almost started crying. XD"Then stay with me, you idiot," Harry said for the millionth time. "If I were you I'd never want to go back to that place again. Just co-sign the lease on the London flat."↑ ;____; Domestic babiesssss.Oh, this was really lovely. Draco's reactions and Harry's thoughts were just hilarious, and the mystery of the ghosts added a really nice serious mood to it all that kept it from being straight-up crack (not that I mind crack in the least!). Really nice balance to the different aspects of the fic, lovely pacing, lovely story, and lovely interactions!

Oh this was so lovely. Very well written and frankly I have a gazzilion things to praise about it but it's midnight and I'm falling off my bed sleepy and I refused to sleep before finishing this story. If I read this again one day I'll give it its due justice but all I can say now is well done! Very in-charaters Harry and Draco and I hope you write many, many more!

So much of this story had my heart in tatters, but there was something absolutely beautiful and hilarious and tragic about Malfoy drunk in the common room that first night. God that scene killed me. Wonderful job.

This was perfect! I never knew that I wanted to read a fix where Harry complimented an increasingly befuddled Malfoy, but it turns out I totally did.

This was wonderful, brilliant lovely! The thing with Callum and Tonks made me tear up quite a lot. Harry and Draco's progression from hate-complimenting to friends to boyfriends was wonderful, loved it so much!!!

I was reading this during my lunch break the other day and burst into laughter so many times people were starting to give me funny looks. Beautifully written and absolutely perfect all around. I could hear the characters so clearly, your characterisation was spot on. Oh and the bit with the ghosts made me tear up just a little (more funny looks there)

The exchange in the Great Hall; how sweet. I bet Draco was blushing for days after just thinking about it. Tonks was right. Those robes aren't nice enough for a compliment. Harry was definitely complimenting Draco.

I've read this about a million times, and every single time I leave feeling so happy. I seriously love this and Ron!!!! HAHAAHAHAHA I think you're an incredible writer, I feel like I'm watching the scene rather than reading it and every single line makes me so emotional. I LOVE THIS SO FFUEIHFBHEUFBHEIFJEBF MUCH! I love Tonks, the ghosts' stories were so real and heart-warming. I seriously just want to shower you in compliments but right now, I'm practically incoherent haha (it's 4am) so I will take my leave, but PLEASE know that you should never doubt your writing ability, you're just so naturally fluid (the way you write and the story progresses) and so REAL. Nothing is fake, every single emotion, description... *sighs in admiration/adoration* I'm sorry for fangirling like this, this is seriously one of my most favourite FanFiction EVER! Thank you for reading this babble! I send you lots of love, I hope you have a great day/week/month/year/life haha. Good bye!

This is adorable and hilarious and lovely. I love Harry's tactic of trading insults for compliments, even if I couldn't really see 8th year Draco mustering up the energy for hurling insults at first, but after he got drunk and we saw his frustration with his future it made more sense. Likewise I was taken aback my ghost Tonks but once you introduced Callum <3 and the ghosts of the Battle of Hogwarts and then gave them the chance to move on, well... *sniff* Draco playing Gobstones with a twelve year old Hufflepuff ghost is seriously the sweetest thing.

This is a lovely fic; a perfect blend of sweetness and sorrow. The scene with Callum forgetting that he was dead, and the image of Tonks saying goodbye to her mother and son were heartbreaking. My favourite lines/scenes were funny ones:"I'm a Slytherin, not a thief...The difference...is that I made Crabbe steal it for me". And:" "Look mate...I was sort of awake last night". This could mean many things. "And I saw you...with Malfoy". Again, this could mean...several things. Fewer possibilities than before. None that great." Thanks for writing and sharing this work. x
