✨ Top Harry

I know nothing about tumblr communities. Can you join them with a side blog without everyone seeing your main or is that not possible?

Hiiii! Yes, you totally can. You can see the community’s members and then click on an account, but your main one is separate, so there shouldn’t be a problem.

you’re a life saver ❤️

Do you have any eighth year drarry fic recs? I’m struggling to find any I haven’t already read!

eighth year drarry? yes of course

this is probably in my top five favourite drarry fic tropes so i’m always on the lookout for new fics to read! here are some of the notable ones i’ve read that aren’t the already super well known fics out there!

Smoke and Sweets by BiscuitBrunch

Draco spends his eighth year at Hogwarts under a study contract, working the Hospital Wing with Madam Pomfrey.

He should have foreseen how often that meant bumping into Harry Potter.

(In which a touch-starved Draco has a praise kink that Harry is delighted to indulge.)

Eager For The Sky by @oknowkiss

It was announced, just as the Triwizard Tournament had been, at the start of term feast.

A year-long, international Quidditch varsity match — the inaugural Wizarding Academy Cup.

In which Harry is Hogwarts' star Seeker, Draco is on the bench, and they both have a thing or two to learn about playing for the same team.

The July Tree by @oknowkiss

Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail… nor well-meaning friends, nor questionable communication skills, nor seven years of hating each other’s guts can keep Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy from falling in love.

OR: It’s Eighth Year, and Harry Potter has detention. What else is new? Well, since you asked: Greenhouse Four and the Tree of Life, for a start, and then there’s the new shared Eighth Year common room, and Harry’s sexuality, and these pesky dreams he keeps having about a blond man pushing him into things…

To Sleep, Perchance to Wake by shrugs

Harry sleeps through the first two months of eighth year. He wakes up for Mandy Brocklehurst's birthday party and finds his friends- and enemies- changed irreconcilably.

Nobody Pinch Me by @dracoladon @lazywonderlvnd

A mysteriously locked door keeps Harry and Draco trapped in the room where they're serving detention.

He Was A Skater Boy by @m0srael

Harry Potter intends to spend his eighth year at Hogwarts avoiding the endless stares, whispers, and nosy questions that never seem to leave him be. He wants nothing more than to hide in the quiet solitude of his dorm room, keep his head down, and wallow in his grief.

At least, that's his plan right up until the moment Draco Malfoy kick-flips his life upside down.

Tell Me Love Is Endless by alexmeg, RewriteParagraph

In an unfair world like this, sometimes people fall in love with their soulmates after they are dead.

Just like Draco Malfoy does.

To Serve Malfoy by VivacissimoVoce

Harry loses a wager with Draco, which means he must spend the summer at Malfoy Manor as Draco’s personal servant.

When I Put My Eyes On You by Zzzara

When a hero defeats a villain, there's supposed to be a happily-ever-after... but when did anything ever happen to Harry Potter the way it was supposed to? Having sacrificed himself to the greater good, Harry is left alone in the darkness, blindly groping for the shreds of the life he knew.

When the enemies meet, how is the story supposed to go, once they learn there's more to it than the eye can see?

A story of pain, hope and things we discover, once we stop looking for them with our eyes.

It’s No Great Mystery by agentmoppet

Who on earth decided that bringing back the Yule Ball for their eighth year would be a good idea? It feels like the worst day of Harry’s life, watching everyone get glammed up like the war never happened, like the last Triwizard Tournament wasn’t such a colossal failure.

And then it happens again. And again. And again.

Arms Wide Open: Hogwarts by Sita_Z

Harry did not expect his Eighth Year to involve any more investigations of abandoned bathrooms. Nor did he expect to come across Draco Malfoy there, alone, bleeding and in late-stage labor.

Harry time travels to the past (no specific ship)

(Or in most of these cases, to his first year at Hogwarts)

✨ Another Chance / 57k / Harry leaves the white limbo of King's Cross to find himself in his childhood cupboard once again. Luckily for him, it seems he's brought Ron and Hermione back with him, and with his best friends at his side he can do anything.

The Golden Trio take Hogwarts by storm, a bit more jaded and ruthless than before and determined to undermine the war before it ever truly starts.

✨ Oh God Not Again! / 151k / So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything AGAIN.

✨ family and other wonders / 124k / Harry was supposed to pick- move on and be with his parents, or go back to finish the battle with Voldemort. But even Dumbledore doesn't know everything, and Harry finds that there are actually a lot more options than those two.

Harry wants more than what he got. He wants a home. He wants a family. He wants a chance to be happy. He isn't sure he deserves all that, but he's going to try anyway. If only to spite Dumbledore and Voldemort's plans both.

OR: Harry Potter wakes up ten years old but with all of his memories from age seventeen. He immediately begins to make Mistakes.

✨ Another Chance / 244k / Harry willingly walks to face Voldemort for one last time. The moment the Killing Curse hits, he wakes up the day after he and Hermione traveled through time. Gifted this chance, Harry sets out to learn about about what has been denied to him since he lost his parents. Along the way he makes new friends, learns new magic, and carves out his place in the wizarding world.

✨ Harry Potter and the Ticket Backwards / 78k / When the most powerful magics collide due to Harry Potter's desperate, last sacrifice, he creates for himself a chance to fix up the wrongs in his world. Yet going back in time isn't everything that he expected: Voldemort is a threat, but it is Harry himself who no longer fits comfortably in the world. Time has changed him, he just hasn't yet figured out how.

✨ Everything Black / 67k /

If you had a chance to do it over again, make things better, would you take it?

or

Harry fakes it 'til he makes it.

OR

Harry -somehow- accidentally goes back in time.

✨ Square One / 59k / When Harry dies in the Forbidden Forest, he expected not to wake up. Much less wake up in his childhood cupboard, and even less expected was the letter from his friends confirming it wasn't just him starting over at square one.

Time-Travel fix it where the golden trio get sent back to first year! Starts on the day of Dudleys birthday! Sorry for all of the head cannons!!

Heavily inspired by Arkodian's series "What goes around comes around"!

✨ The Walking Paradox / 57k /

This was a bad dream.

It had to be. It must be a nightmare, purgatory, something. Anything, anything at all except for what his sneaking suspicions were saying.

There was no way – there was no way – Harry James Potter had been hit by the Killing Curse and promptly been transported back in time.

And yet.

(Yet another time travel fix-it fic - except it isn't a power fantasy.) (though those are good, too)

exactly how I picture Auror Harry though, ten years down the line

redraw of this piece that’s been going around again,, had to redeem myself 🚶

me reading straight up pornography: hmm… this one just doesn’t have enough accurate character psychoanalysis to get me off

Golden Trio

✨ Comforting Romionarry Fics

✨ Less than 15k Ronarry

✨ More than 15k Ronarry

More Sirry recs

✨ Hello from the Other Side / 14k / Minister Potter has ninety-nine hundred problems. He never would've expected Sirius Black to suddenly become one of them, but when every person lost to the veil is suddenly returned, Harry deals with public opinion, rehabilitation, and long-forgotten feelings as he works to provide a future for a new segment of magical society.

✨ Until you set your old heart free / 8k / Harry turns sharply on his heels, swinging Teddy into the air once more, and as Teddy collapses into a giggly mess at his back, Harry looks at him, and he smiles and… Oh.

Oh, fuck.

He’s in so much trouble.

In which Sirius Black survives the war, adopts Teddy Lupin, and refuses to fall in love with Harry Potter.

✨ What Adults Do / 26k / After Harry breaks it off with Ginny, Harry moves in with Sirius, promising only to stay until he's back on his feet. Between Harry and Sirius lingers unresolved emotional hurt that neither are willing to address.

When Sirius arrives home one night following a bad full moon, Harry insists on stitching him up. Sirius, however, is embarrassed to receive help from his godson, and Harry is tired of being treated like a child.

✨ The Persistence of Memory / 19k / Sirius comes back out of the veil, but he's not the Sirius that Harry remembers. But Junior Auror Potter plans to be there for Sirius in a way Sirius wanted to be for him. And that's all it is, at first.

Harry is 21, Sirius is 18.

✨ the harvest of sunlight / 5k / It takes two decades and one divorce for Harry to learn three things.

Sometimes home is a person.

Sometimes it’s not the person you think.

And sometimes you have to take the long way there.

✨ Don’t sound like no sonnet / 25k / Harry has a high school diploma and no clear plan for the future. Sirius has a checkered past and a motorcycle. They meet on the first day of a very eventful summer.

✨ periculum / 25k / Harry needs someone to take control.

Or maybe he just needs Sirius.

✨ Pigment / 5k / Sirius makes a promise to Harry during the war. Three years later, he keeps his word.

SIRRY

(Meaning Sirius and Harry)

✨ Time travel Sirry
