Author's Summary: 8th year is going just fine until Malfoy starts practising his sticking charms.

Review:
Though it features some popular themes, this is a one-of-a-kind story. When you visit the link, you'll know straight away whether you've seen it before. It's a 43 page fan comic drawn in pencil.

As the artist says on their livejournal, they tend to draw boys in nightshirts with pointy elbows. Dustmouth has a distinct style that I loved, with thin arms and legs and short pencil marks. Characters' faces are open and expressive, especially of their angst or uncertainty, sometimes showing us they mean the opposite of what they're saying. But I think the composition was my favorite part; Dustmouth makes great use of the page, knowing when to break out of panels and how to shape and size them to set the tone and tell you even more about the story.

The plot itself is straight forward and a pleasure: Harry and Draco gradually finding their way with one another due to a sticking charm, with lots of pining and some gossiping schoolmates, confused friends and humorous moments.

Go and give it a look! I hope you'll like it as much as I do.
