  Summary

  The war is over, and Harry Potter is back for his eighth year at Hogwarts and he's beyond pissed. Everything is different, now. Due to his dissociative coping mechanisms and mild drug and alcohol addiction, Harry and Ginny have gone their separate ways. After a year of their ill-fated relationship, Hermione broke things off with Ron and has since been dating Draco Malfoy. And because Ron can't handle the sight of them together, he's opted to spend his eighth year abroad with Charlie in Romania. To make matters worse, with Hermione and Draco an inseparable item, Harry is forced to spend way too much time with the Slytherins who previously have tried to kill him, on more than one occasion. As Harry navigates the complexity of his new friendships, he finds himself torn between wanting to kill Pansy and wanting to kiss her and can't manage to get out of his own way. In an effort to push things along between the two of them, Theo, Draco, and Blaise assist Harry in planning the most epic rager Hogwarts has ever seen for its alumni weekend in hopes that Harry and Pansy will finally swallow their pride and admit their feelings for one another -- only for shit to hit the fan and everything that can go wrong does, in fact, go wrong.
