That was completely brilliant. Oh my god, I had so much fun reading this story. I love the idea that Harry ended up "seducing" Draco for a good grade. LOL!!!!!!! That was priceless, how everything turned just so that it actually seemed to happen, and Draco doing what he does best, sabotaging Harry's potions. Man, that took me back to their canon times at Hogwarts. \o/

These two are crazy! I loved it.

And it was so very, very, VERY hot.

“I’m-I’m getting a bit sore,” Harry said, between kisses.
“Well, that’s no good,” Malfoy said, slow and drawling, and sucked on his earlobe while he pulled Harry’s shirt out of his trousers. “I want you very sore,” he hissed into Harry’s ear. “I want you limping. I want to take you so thoroughly everyone’s going to know you’re bending over for me.”

GOD. So perfect, everything about that scene (and damnit, all of them) was perfect

Oh my goodness, that was amazing!! First off, I thought the concept was really interesting and well executed. I loved the reason why Harry had to return to Hogwarts, and the politics were really intriguing! The dynamic between Harry and Draco was great, and Draco getting his seventh year's to pull pranks of Harry was awesome.

Also, holy COW was the sex smoking hot! The way Harry just lost himself a little in it, and the way you really showed their intense attraction to one another was fantastic.

Really wonderful work!

Wow, I really loved this!

I like how subtle you were about blurring the Slytherin lines and how you didn't unveil where you were going with it too soon. You really trusted the reader, and I loved that!

But omg, thank goodness for Luna Lovegood's big mouth! :-DDDD I already loved the heated, bitter snarkiness between them, the fists-clenched animosity, but THEN, when those tables are turned and it becomes about Draco WANTING Harry... Omg, I LOVED how you got them together and how Draco stayed very much who he'd been before, just whilst ripping Harry's clothes off. ;-) He was luscious! And Harry! God, I loved how much he loved it!!! GUH!

This was bloody priceless right here:

“Put it in me again,” Harry said, faintly, and shut his eyes and braced himself, only Draco didn’t slam into him this time, just pushed slowly and luxuriously back into him and-and-stayed there, pushed deep, Harry’s whole sore body swollen tight around him and his thighs pushed apart, and Harry hadn’t known you could get this fucked, this completely fucked,

This was fun!

This was great!!!! Full of unexpected turns and funny, smart surprises!!

[Spoiler (click to open)]I have so much appreciation for the way you handled the politics. The complexity and nuance there was great, and the light touch you handled it with made it so easy for me to see how Harry really, truly, genuinely wouldn't know. Or on a larger scale, how the two sides of the war would still really end up at intractable odds with each other because of differences in worldview rather than animus, and how suspicion would grow from that and create this vicious cycle. Really, really interesting stuff. And I love how Harry handled it here!! That he didn't put on his Gryffindor hat and rush in, and instead wanted to come up with a plan that would get all parties behind it and that the Slytherins would be able to go for. Seeing him think with an end in mind instead of in terms of his pride made me really want him to get the job, and see how he would end up better at it for his time back at Hogwarts, even if realllllllllly not in the way Hermione anticipated
