Summary: Harry’s miserable living with his memories at Grimmauld Place, so after a chance meeting he takes the opportunity to move somewhere new. His housemates, though, are rather unexpected. Especially the blond, pointy one…
This is such a wonderful, gentle story. It's so touching and emotional because here we see a Harry who is not doing well, who is trying his hardest but he's simply not well, he's depressed and he doesn't know what to do. He's not happy where he's living, he's not happy at work, he's just existing, sort of drifting. But there's people who loves him and care for him, so to help him his boss tells him to take some time off, a work sabbatical and it's in this time that he randomly runs into Dudley, who has changed, who is glad to see Harry, who apologies and that's how Harry learns that Dudley is looking for someone to rent his room to while he travels. Harry who very much needed a change jumps of the chance, mindful of Dudley's roommates, Dick and Blaine. :D
Which of course turned out to be Draco and Blaise, and we learn why Draco's nick name is Dick (so very fitting, too, you'll see!) and we see these two, them three, actually, learning to live with each other, getting to know each other.
Harry and Draco pretty soon, after deciding to be civil, realise they have some things in common, they spend time together and start to understand each other. There are so many lovely interactions between them. Flirty, friendly banter, UST, but it's all so natural, and then the people around are seeing this happen, seeing them be happier than they've been in years. It's super sweet and lovely. :)
