Harry has spent the last twelve years in Romania, not returning to England as often as he knows he should. It's complicated. But when Ginny asks him to be her best man and help her plan her wedding, he can't say no. Having a reckoning with his choices, with himself, won't be easy. To say nothing of seeing Draco again.

Note from CorvetteClaire
I wrote this story many, many years ago - before Order of the Phoenix was published - as the first part of a trilogy that I never quite finished. Then, 15 years later, inspiration struck and I wrote Part 3. I want to share it with you. So here is my "just for fun" Harry/Draco Angst Ridden Romance, Action Adventure, Evil Creatures Are Attacking Hogwarts and Stuff Happens fic.

It is Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts, and Voldemort has returned to full power. The Death Eaters lay siege to the castle, trapping everyone inside. Draco is injured, Harry gets roped into saving his life, Crabbe shows unexpected resourcefulness, Dumbledore gets his way (as usual), and life is complicated for Harry. But then, life is always complicated for Harry, and adolescence only makes it worse.

Draco disappears from Hogwarts, then returns just as mysteriously, unable to explain where he's been. Suddenly, half the wizarding world wants to get their hands on Draco, and Harry will lose him to his mother, the Ministry of Magic or much worse, if he can't find out what happened to him during those missing days.
A note from CorvetteClaire
I wrote this story 13 years ago, before Half Blood Prince was published. It is set in the same, pre-Order of the Phoenix world as Thicker Than Blood, but I did give mine a few interesting details from the books to give it more texture. For instance, Harry has been to Grimmauld Place and the Wizengamot dungeon, even though I don't include those episodes from Canon in my fics.

It's Harry's seventh year at Hogwarts. The war against the Dark Lord is coming to a head. Voldemort believes that Draco Malfoy can provide the means to destroy Harry. If the centaurs' portents are true, he may be right.
Note from CorvetteClaire
This is the third and final part of the Blood Link trilogy. I wrote it very recently - 13 years after finishing Part 2 - but I have tried to give it the same feel as the original stories. It is also set in the Pre-Order of the Phoenix world. This means, all major characters are still alive, Cornelius Fudge is still Minister for Magic, we've never heard of Horcruxes or Hallows, etc. But I have used some of the ideas and settings from the later books that fit.
My take on how the war ends is much simpler than JKR's, but since she worked it all out so magnificently, there wasn't much to be gained by trying to reinvent it on the same scale. I just told the story the way I liked and focused on the elements that I find most intriguing. Honestly, I'm more interested in human-sized conflicts, such as the one between Harry and Fudge, than in end-of-the-world-sized cataclysms.
So this is my simplified, human-sized version of events, with Draco and the centaurs' portent at the center of it all. I hope you enjoy it.

This is a three part series with over 200,000 words. It's an epic read. Part One deals with depression and drug addiction, so be warned. Part Two deals with recovery. Still being the main theme of Part Three is recovery. I thoroughly enjoyed this read.
Note from Thestralsofspinnersend & Houseofthebrideanblacks
Don't read this if don't have a great support system, or if you feel like a relapse could easily be on the horizon. There's no smut here (yet), there's definitely no fluff. I mean, Neville is kinda nice, but that's it. Also, there's horrible heterosexual sex. We're sorry. Part one of this story is an emotional train wreck. We are setting the stage for Part two, and we need you primed to crawl back with our protagonists from the precipice. This is our first story (I'm writing Harry, my partner is writing Draco) and we'd love love love your feedback. Comments appreciated. Even if you just want to tell us about how horrible that heterosexual sex was. We know. This work is written by two people (we're partners in real life), with SpinnersendSlytherin as Draco and ThestralHouseofBlack as Harry.

A note from Luuuurve
Warning, this slash fanfic contains plot. This may or may not render it suitable for your slashy needs. For it is a truth universally acknowledged, that occasionally, or perhaps all the time, the keen slash reader must be in want of porn without plot. (Who hasn't scrolled their way through the chapters of a long slash fic thinking, 'Come on, where's the sex?') For your plot-avoiding convenience, I will be marking certain future chapter titles with the word: Shagging! You know what to expect there. "The Bodyguard" is the July 2007 Quill to Parchment Best Trio Era Fanfic Award Winner, Runner Up.

A note from Anna Fugazzi
Yet another one of those Harry And Draco Are Forced To Be Together By Something Beyond Their Control And Then Stuff Happens Leading To Twoo Wuv stories. Because every HD writer has to write at least one. I started to write this before HBP came out, and crossed my fingers that HBP wouldn't make it totally non-canon. No such luck, I'm afraid. This, therefore, is an AU story. So, this starts around the end of September of an AU seventh year. I was also assuming that Lucius Malfoy wouldn't be in prison very long, what with his various connections with influential people, so he's here too.

Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter are trapped and alone in painful destinies when they connect unknowingly through a radio show in the summer before Fifth Year. Bonding over the deadly weight on top of both their shoulders, the boys unite on a desperate romantic but angst-filled road that sends them looking for comic relief and a reason to live. Soon enough the two realize some love isn't gay or straight ... some love just is. But will it be enough once the unlikely pair learn that in order to survive, they may just have to save the whole world for Lord Voldemort!
This story was written between Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows.
The work came onto my radar back on 21 August 2021, but I could not find a good link. I have now, so enjoy!
A note from Blunt Joey
Take crucial note that ALL the featured lyrics at the opening of each chapter are from "Boys on the Radio", "Malibu", "Northern Star", "Reasons to be Beautiful", and other Hole songs; a couple extras are from solo songs by Hole's lead singer, Courtney Love, but regardless, ALL LYRICS FEATURED are by Courtney Love, both those from Hole and solo songs. (By the way, this story did NOT take all these years to complete, haha - I added an Epilogue many years afterward, and then saw I'd used the wrong word in it just today - thank you, Auto-Correct :P - so I fixed it.)

"What, no goodnight kiss?" mocked Draco. Harry mimicked the patented Malfoy swagger toward the Slytherin and planted his lips on Draco's.
It always starts with a kiss, but the plot thickens. There's a whole lot more to this story than just blowjobs.
A note from CharlotteChaos
This was my first big fanfic and was the longest thing I'd ever written at the time. I was a newbie and made all of the rookie mistakes. I hate to remove the zeitgeist of the original, though, so I've put it up as it has been since I wrote it in 2004. I like to think I've come a long way as a writer and the popularity of this story pushed me to write more and explore which is a huge debt I owe to the HP fandom.

Need a perfect stranger? Ask Metamorphosis. Harry Potter runs the business secretly and becomes whoever’s needed for each occasion. He’s not sure whether he should be more surprised, worried, or amused when Draco Malfoy comes to Metamorphosis and requests an actor who can play his boyfriend so that his parents will disown him. Yet Harry has even more dangerous choices after he creates Brian, Draco’s “perfect” boyfriend. Draco doesn’t know who Brian is, but he’s trying to find out—and now so is Harry.
A note from Lomonaaeren
This story contains a fair amount of humor, as you can figure out from the summary, but also its fair amount of angst. If you don’t like “mistaken identity” types of stories, you probably shouldn’t read this. This story is also set in a deeply homophobic wizarding world. Finally, Harry's disorder is not exactly multiple personality disorder, but closer to it than anything else.

As the war escalates, friendships will be tested, lives will be lost, and Harry finds that, before he can win, he must learn the rules of the game.
A note from Melissa Ann Potter
As an additional disclaimer, this is not a love story nor is it meant to be read as one. I wrote this in response to all the bad H/D fics I've read (I have found a few good ones too), because I wanted to see if I could put the two together in a believable way. It's up to the reader to decide if I succeeded. The story is also about the search for the Horcruxes, so it's not all smut. Trust me though, it shall earn its rating in later chapters. And, as a side note, this story does not subscribe to your stereotypical seme/uke (top/bottom) format. So, if that's what you're looking for, you've come to the wrong fic. Thank you, and enjoy.
Melissa Ann Potter
The Writer really enjoyed this story and I think Melissa succeeded in pairing Harry and Draco in a believable way. There's some scenes describing hallucination that might confuse you at first, but it makes sense in the end.
UPDATE: 6 December 2017 - I had forgotten had sadly this story ends. Yer gonna cry, be prepared.

Sometime after midnight in the dark halls of Hogwarts, Draco finds Harry hiding between two suits of armor ... crying. Draco forces a conversation and learns that Harry is crying because ... ha, not gonna tell you! Anyway, Draco, thinking quick on his feet, devises a way to make Harry continue the conversation ... Dare Chess. Is it love or betrayal that Draco has in mind? Naadi keeps you guessing almost right to the end.
A note from Naadi Moonfeather
Checkmate was written between 2002 and 2006, and therefore is based on events from only the first four HP books. Now that the HP series is complete, Checkmate is best categorized as an AU 7th year story set at Hogwarts. Harry’s 5th and 6th years in Checkmate are not described, but arenot the same as in The Goblet of Fire and The Half-Blood Prince. Also a bit of forewarning: Checkmate was intended to be a very different exploration of Harry/Draco than what was standard at the time it was written. When I started reading Harry/Draco fics in the fall of 2001, the relationship between Harry and Draco was almost universally characterized by rough fights turned to rough sex, with lots of snark, constant bickering and misunderstandings, and with their mutual attraction so obvious and yet denied for so long you wondered how their brains hadn’t liquefied and dribbled out their ears. Then right when they finally acknowledge their attraction/love for each other – that’s THE END. Please don’t misunderstand - I loved those stories, I LOVED Harry/Draco, and I would never argue that that’s not a proper canon interpretation of what they would be like.
But I also wanted to read a story where, since they were supposed to be falling in love, they actually acted loving to each other; a story that explored their similarities rather than compounding their differences, that portrayed sex that was not just hormones and ogling each other and lust. I wanted to read a story that didn’t stop, like the well-worn Cinderella story plot, just when the characters realized they wanted to be together. I wanted them to get together at the beginning, and see what happened next. But I couldn’t quite find this other kind of Harry/Draco story that I wanted to read. So an experiment named Checkmate was born.
And given that Checkmate was intentionally different in focus, I do want to assure new readers that although he might appear somewhat ooc in the first chapter or so, since you only see him interact with Harry, I did give a great deal of thought to Draco’s characterization and the psychology behind his behavior. Could he be in love, and act loving, and still be in character? Probably only with a great deal of growing up and changing having happened. So that’s what I did – Checkmate Draco has done a lot of rethinking about his life and beliefs before the story starts, during those 5th and 6th years that are different than the HP books. But then again, if you think that it’s not possible for a Slytherin to be nice, or to court someone with loving care, when that’s what it takes to get what they desire or further their ambitions, I think maybe you don’t know Slytherin. ;-)
And one last word of warning: there is a good bit of silliness in this fic, especially at the beginning, but as it goes on, it becomes increasingly intense and suspenseful, and possibly in parts, maybe even a bit scary before the end. I don’t think anyone should be afraid to read it on that account, just be advised – what may seem at first to be a light fluffy story, will not continue to be so throughout. But I will not say anything more about the ending, so as not to ruin all the fun of the suspense. :D

Immediately after defeating Voldemort, Harry begins to have strange dreams, dreams that pull him once more into the realm of the newly dead. At first, the dreams are only a curious mystery, and Harry sets about putting his life back in order after the war. But when Harry dreams of Narcissa Malfoy, his life suddenly goes in a much different direction than the one he'd always imagined.
A note from Naadi Moonfeather
6 December 2024 update
The purpose of this update was to restructure the story to have ten chapters instead of three, so that the story was more readable, with shorter chapters. No additions were made to the text of the fic. Same story, just divided into more manageable bits. New readers and esteemed re-readers are all most welcome. Enjoy! ^.^
Choices of the Heart was written for the following prompt for the H/D Canon Fest, October 2011, on Livejournal: "You are the true master of death, because the true master does not seek to run away from Death. He accepts that he must die, and understands that there are far, far worse things in the living world than dying."
Warnings: The story contains conversations with dead people in dreams, most of these are older original characters, but there is one OC child. No actual deaths are portrayed and no canon characters die except for those who have already died in canon.
This story ties up the loose ends about the Elder Wand and the Deathly Hallows. I understand that death may not the easiest thing to read about for some, but I want to assure readers that I have tried to handle the concept of death in this story in the most uplifting way possible. This is not a story about loss and angst, but about finding hope and love, making choices, and trusting in the beauty and synchronicity of the universe, even if one crosses the boundaries between life and death. It also has, like almost everything I do, a generous share of silliness.

Harry has spent the last two years in semi-exile from the wizarding world after bitter arguments with the Ministry and his best friends. Now the Ministry summons him back, since they can't run the school without the cooperation of Dumbledore's portrait—and Dumbledore will only talk to Harry. Draco, summoned to talk to Snape's portrait at the same time, meets a Harry he hasn't expected, one who's going to request something strange from him, and perhaps require more than that.
Here's a story about how Harry was abused, first by the Dursleys and then by Dumbledore himself. The twist in this story is how Harry chooses to deal with memories of that abuse and how Draco helps him deal.

After a whirlwind romance with Draco Malfoy that ends in an explosion of clashing political beliefs, Harry Potter graduates from Hogwarts and takes a job with the Ministry. He hopes that Draco wil not join the Death Eaters and will come to him in time, and he doesn't guess what Voldemort has in store for him.
Note: Haven is Ivy Blossom's first HP story and isn't as highly regarded as Origins or Belong. The summary reads, "Harry and Draco discover a new element of their relationship, and Harry learns that Draco might not be as keen to be a Death Eater as everyone had thought. Can Harry save Draco? Can Draco avoid betraying Harry?"

Having betrayed Harry Potter and been forgiven by him, Draco Malfoy tries to be worthy of a normal life, but strange elements of his past keep him from looking as sincere as he is. With Voldemort on the lose, his father's image appearing in strange places, and all fingers pointing at him, Draco hopes he can clear his own name and save the world before Harry admits that Draco can't be trusted.
Note: This part deals with the fallout from the events of Haven and explores how Draco's sexual abuse as a child has affected him. Meanwhile, someone tries to resurrect Voldemort. It also features Draco becoming an excellent cook, a bit of fanon that shows up in some post-Hogwarts Draco-centric slash stories.

Unemployed layabout Harry Potter takes in a homeless Draco Malfoy after Obliviating him at his own request. That's the author's summary, but there's a whole lot more to the story.
A lot of things left Harry when Voldemort died, the visions, the ability to speak Parseltongue, the blind conviction to keep going at any cost. But not the memories. Not the nightmares. Not the cold, lonely reality that he had been nothing more than a tool in Dumbledore's vast toolbox of "Voldemort fix-it" supplies. Perhaps a hammer, he thinks to himself as he fiddles with the latch on the bin, or a great, bloody spanner.

It's a nice life—until Malfoy stumbles through his wards, pursued by mysterious enemies, and Harry finds himself unable to refuse him help.

Harry Potter looked at the post on the bulletin board outside the Great Hall and read with interest. Hogwarts was starting a personals club for students only: witch to wizard, wizard to witch. But what peaked Harry’s particular interest were the witch to witch and wizard to wizard personals. And best of all, it was anonymous. Neither would know which student they were writing to unless they wanted to reveal it. And Harry Potter, only just having discovered reluctantly that he was probably gay, had no interest whatsoever in revealing his preferences.

Harry Potter is dead and Voldemort has won ... at least that's what everyone's been told to believe. The world is at war, Hogwarts is more dangerous than ever, and Draco Malfoy finds himself part of a group of rebels, hell-bent on fighting back against the system of oppression now in place. Their numbers are small and hope is difficult to hold onto, but Draco is willing to risk his entire life in order to change the world for the better. He hadn't wanted things to be this way ... not really.
A word from FibromyalGIA
This story goes to some rather dark places, as it takes place during a world war and Voldemort has gained power. Adding content warnings to each chapter has the potential to spoil things, and so check the story notes. If you find these warnings to be too much, please do not continue reading. This is where I'd like to mention that reading things knowing that they have the potential to trigger you is a form of self harm.

A note from mugglerock
This is a reboot/rewrite of a fanfiction I had written over 10 years ago. I'm not sure why I felt this overwhelming desire to fix this, but I'm rather glad I did. The story has been revised to edit a lot of the errors that there were in the original. Now the story includes consistent tense, better plot development, perspective changes that flow better, and about 20,000 more words. I also edited the non canon compliant errors (like the muggle studies professor's name) to be accurate post the release of DH, but this is not canon compliant from 6th year on. This is un-beta'd, but I did spend a lot of time rewriting and editing this, so I am hoping the errors are minimal, but please feel free to let me know if you catch any. Warnings include: blatant thievery of the plot (and some of the dialogue) from the film 10 Things I Hate About You (i.e. The Taming of the Shrew), a very lazy attempt at writing an Irish brogue in dialogue, and swearing.

When Draco Malfoy, wanted criminal, strolled into the Ministry to give himself up, he seemed destined for Azkaban until he offered to hand over information to avert an upcoming crime. Of course, he refused to divulge that knowledge to anyone but Harry Potter.
A note from Cheryl Dyson
I did not know anything about The Blacklist prior to H/D Smoochfest this year, but the prompt sounded intriguing. Additionally, Taradiane demanded that I write for it, so I started watching the show and was instantly yanked in and hooked for life. I LOVE IT SO HARD. Therefore, I tried to imbue Draco with a bit of Red's brilliant, adorable personality whilst still keeping him essentially Draco, and since Harry already has many of Lizzie's qualities, well, that bit was easy. Some scenes will be recognizable from the series, but I hope to have altered them enough to cause surprise. Anyone not familiar with the series need not know anything about it to enjoy this fic, and if you choose to seek it out afterwards-and you totally should-then the spoilers herein are minimal. Thank you, Tara, for giving me a new obsession and I hope you enjoy this tribute I've written to the amazing show. The title was my tongue-in-cheek working title and I meant to change it, but I grew to like it so well that it now remains.

Or are there even more secrets?.
OK, so here's the 411. The plot is excellent, but the grammer and spelling is horrible. Occasionally, you'll have to read a sentence twice to be able to understand it. The situation is unique and the plot, as I said, is excellent. I really enjoyed it!

Snape is on the run, persued by everyone, hated by all. All that is except his mother and one day she calls her son to her house because she has something to tell him, a secret she has never shared. Until now ...
Let me be the first to say that I am not a big fan of Severus Snape and I am not a big fan of stories where Snape takes on a parental role for Harry. That being said, I am still recommending this story. There are a few stories like this that I recommend, but the vast majority of them don't make this list. So ... this must be a really good story then. Yep.

There was only so much Draco Malfoy could take. He was intelligent, he could see what was happening, what he was fighting for and what he had to pay for a cause he didn't even believe in. He wasn't brave, he didn't rush into situations without thinking first. He wasn't a Gryffindor. Draco Malfoy was a Slytherin. And he was about to show the world and a certain green-eyed Saviour, how useful Slytherins could be.
The author's native tongue is not English, but does a relatively good job. This is a dark story, with many loveable character deaths (not Harry or Draco). There is some rape/sexual assault, so be warned. I enjoyed this epic.

Harry may be a half-Veela, but there was no such thing as a destined mate. If somebody wanted him, they would have to prove their worthiness. And Draco’s chances don't look so good when Harry guts him at the welcoming feast.
The author goes into great detail about Veela. I found it most interesting and the angst is well written. Bad Dumbledore, good Mad-Eye. Enjoy!

After the final battle Harry, Hermione and Ron go back to Hogwarts to finish their eighth year, but some things are never going to be the same. Having lost so much, Harry just wants to go back to the only place he can call home and heal, but sometimes when you've lost everything you thought safe and certain, the only way to move forward is to make amends with the past and maybe, just maybe, find something new. Or, how one cup of tea can mend even broken hearts.

Draco enters his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and if he expected himself to be used to drama and life-threatening plots this time around, he was, sadly, mistaken. Draco had to wonder, though, why in Merlin's name it was always his family bringing about their doom, like a screwed up version of that ridiculous Muggle Christmas character Hermione had told him about. Why couldn't it, for once, be a distant Weasley relative to be led astray, or really, anyone who was not sharing a bloodline with him? But that would be too easy, Draco figured, and if his life was anything, it was always horribly difficult.

It was a natural side-effect of being a member of the closest circle of The Boy Who Lived, newly dubbed The Chosen One. So it was a bit of an understatement to say that he was surprised to have eyes following him down the corridors now, especially when one of those pairs was familiar and piercingly green.

Years after the reported death of the Boy Who Lived, the British wizarding community is at war against Lord Voldemort, and desperate for help. Draco is in the States on a mission for the Order of the Phoenix when trouble befalls him. Grievously injured in a hit and run accident, he must ascertain who it is that is trying to kill him while trying to complete his mission. Wandless and alone, he awakens in a Muggle hospital and must try to unravel the mystery. Who can he turn to for help? He befriends the nurse charged with his care, a young Muggle named Harry, and together they tumble into subterfuge and danger they had never imagined.
A note from shanfawn16
This story is completely AU, due to the fact that a rabid plot bunny attacked me with the question, 'What would have happened to everyone if Harry had been removed from the picture? What would happen when/if he came back? Please enjoy and review! The title comes from a quote by Flora Whittemore. “The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.”

Step into the Magical life story ... love story of Harry and Draco. This epic-journey begins where The Half-Blood Prince leaves us readers, stranded at the monument of Albus Dumbledore. At that moment, Harry thinks his life is planned out; if it's short he dies, if it's long he gets the girl. However, visitors come to see him the night he 'Comes of Age' and he has a decision to make. His choice changes the course of his life and those around him forever. The story adheres to canon as much as possible. The beginning has a lot of het H/G. It will change, for this is Harry and Draco's story.
This is an epic story of the love between Harry and Draco. Join them as they journey through their life together, through the good times and the bad, facing obstacles both external and internal, and see how they come to be who they were meant to be.

The Yule Ball didn't go according to plan. An intrigued Draco follows a desolate Harry into a hidden room. Things will never be the same again.
A word from kcstories
This story starts off with the Yule Ball film-style rather than book-style (the film version seemed better suited), and disregards canon after (and partly before) that. Also, this was originally written in March 2006 and completed in June of the same year. It was my first HP fanfic ever and my first story in a very long time, so there are some minor and not-so-minor imperfections--sorry! Still, some people seemed to enjoy this when it was first put up at ff.net, so here it is, warts and all. If you choose to proceed, please heed the warnings and watch your step. ;)

This story is going to be somewhat of an epic, so if you don't like long reads you may not want to read this story. It will have romance in later chapters (H/D), but it mainly explores Draco's life as a Slytherin and how he deals with being his own person.

Instead of allowing Draco to stay with family or friends when his father is arrested, Dumbledore places him with Harry Potter at number four Privet Drive for the summer. What was Dumbledore thinking?
A note from Saber ShadowKitten
About Harry and Draco's size - Harry is big compared to Draco. If Draco was 3-feet tall and Harry is 4-feet tall, Harry will appear huge in Draco's eyes. I never give their heights, only that Draco is shorter than Harry by half a head by the end of the summer. Harry has also been working out constantly and has bulked up in the thirty or so days he's been at the Dursleys at the end of GoF. I have done my research and this is possible. I will ignore any comments left regarding Harry's size. Regarding the OC Martin - no one seems to believe that Martin isn't a Gary Stu, and so I've changed his name to Blaise Zambini and, oh look, it's the same exact story with the same exact dialogue, because Martin doesn't do anything other than point out the obvious. However, to appease the complainers, I have changed Martin to Blaise in this story, so if you've read it before you won't be so confused. So, at the heart of every Slytherin ...

The wizarding world has a secret that Draco Malfoy carries without him knowing it. There are some things that for some wizards hold more importance than even the eventual defeat of Voldemort.
The tranquility of the mountains and the forest were suddenly interrupted by a loud noise, much like an explosion that thundered across the landscape, every bird in the vicinity took flight and the animals ran without direction, terrorized in face of the danger that they knew was approaching but couldn't see. Suddenly, another thunder could be heard, and the sky seemed to catch on fire, heavy clouds of smoke were forming and what seemed lightening of different colors could be seen between them, lines of fire were crossing the sky from side to side while the earth below trembled each time one of those energy blasts crashed with it.
A huge winged form made its appearance from the hell in the clouds and rushed past the trees of the forest, managing to continue flying despite the obvious effort it was taking. It was a dragon, a big one, with slender body and long wings, its scales were rainbow colored, and the membrane of its wings almost translucent. At its side, almost invisible, a much smaller dragon was flying, fighting not to be left behind of the bigger creature. A mother with her offspring, seemingly flying for their lives.
This is an interesting story about dragons. I get the impression that the author's first language is not English. Just overlook that and you will enjoy the story.

NOTE: There used to be a "naughty" version of this story on SkyHawke. It is no longer online, but I have a sharable copy.
Malfoy is desperate to avoid his arranged marriage to Pansy Parkinson. He explains to his father that he's seeing someone else. Lucius raises an eyebrow. Draco grabs the first person walking by and introduces him.
"Father, this is my boyfriend, ah, Harry Potter." Somehow Draco convinces Harry to go along with the ruse.
LOL! And there's more!
"Malfoy, honestly, I can't believe you spent all that money on me. You didn't have to do that, you know."
"Potter, how many times do I have to tell you - yes, I did. You are supposedly dating a Malfoy now. I am positively swimming in money and I'm not going to let you walk around looking like some urchin off the street. It makes me look bad by association. And don't try to tell me you didn't need the haircut, your hair was positively atrocious."
Harry scowled. He was not used to caring about his appearance, and Draco had just spent the whole morning cleaning him up. He had bought Harry tons of new clothes, forced him to get a haircut, and then surprised him with contact lenses.
"I feel like you're my sugar daddy."
"Your what?"
LOL!! Take a wild ride as the ruse slowly develops to something else. Fasten your seatbelts ... this is one hilarious ride! Jennavere is also the author of "The Veela Enigma" and "Intrepid Teenage Hero" both of which can be found on this page.

Six years after the war, Harry is an Auror and Draco Malfoy is his assigned partner working under Kingsley Shacklebolt. After an 11-month stint of celibacy, Harry is called into Shacklebolt’s office one day, where a lascivious Horace Slughorn must break the news to Harry that he has Veela heritage and needs to have sex as soon as possible because his attraction charms are getting out of hand. Shenanigans ensue.
Drop Dead Gorgeous was written across two years between Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows, so it should be considered AU after the events of The Half-Blood Prince.

Harry Potter is approaching forty, teaching DADA at Hogwarts, and quietly mourning the death of his one love ... Draco. Then Draco's son arrives at Hogwarts, laying waste to Harry's quiet and peaceful life.
Oh my goodness, this is wonderful story with a plot twist you will not see coming. Actually, it brought tears to my eyes. Don't let the "Character Death" warning hold you back. Great story!
NOTE: 3 November 2021 - Just read this story again. It is awesome!

Draco swore revenge on Harry for Lucius's imprisonment, and for once, he keeps his promise. The old rivalry turns deadly when Draco abducts Harry for Voldemort. But when Draco’s world turns upside down, the fight to save himself and Harry begins. This is a well written story with an excellent plot and wonderful visionaries. I highly recommend it. It's a CLASSIC!

The eighth years spend the holidays in a French ski resort and Draco comes to terms with his feelings. Potter had a nice arse, Draco couldn’t deny it.
Potter was leaning against the doorframe, feet bare, jeans low on his hips, ear pierced and his nose red from the cold. He was smirking as if the sole purpose of his existence was to drive Draco crazy.

The years after the Second Wizarding War aren't going well for Draco Malfoy, but for Harry, life is great. When they are thrown together, both will learn the incredible power of love and, especially, of choices.
Harry is an Auror chasing the bad guys and loving life. Everything is pretty much normal until Harry opens the door at Grimwald Place to find a severly beaten up Draco Malfoy.
A word from AmayaSora
What you see before you is the product of many days of planning, many nights' studious work, and then many MORE nights' worth of editing and organizing. "Extraordinary" was an idea in my head long before I made it my 2010 NaNoWriMo project. I've completed that contest, making this fic the longest thing I have ever written. I am very, very pleased with how it turned out. I hope that you will like it, too. I'm aware that practically every Drarry writer has done something like this, but I feel like I've added enough of my own original touches to make this stand out. But, yes, it is my take on events from the end of the war until the epilogue (it complies with the epilogue, actually). I've tried to stay true to canon as much as possible, but for the sake of plot, I've put Lucius and Narcissa in Azkaban rather than letting them go free as Jo would. Enjoy!

To protect Draco from the wrath of the Dark Lord after failing to kill Dumbleore, Snape turns him into a ferret. Harry finds Malfoy with the other ferrets in a pet shop the summer before their 7th year, and decides to take him home to question him about his reason for being there. Malfoy discovers a lot about Harry as he waits for Harry to come of age and turn him back, and decides he was hating him for all the wrong reasons. As Draco has no desire to join the death eaters, he goes back to Hogwarts desguised as his anamagus form, a fox and as Harry's familiar.
I'm not sure if it means anything," said Draco. "It was a name I made up once when I as little. When I was about seven, I found a small bird that had fallen from its nest, and decided to take care of it. Arabel was the name I decided to give it; it was some syllables I threw together that I thought sounded cool. When father found out, well, he decided to teach me a lesson that day about 'weaker beings.' Apparently all things that aren't fit to take care of themselves do not deserve to live. He killed it then ... the glee in his eyes was frightening actually."
This is a really well written story. I am sure you will enjoy it.

Harry Potter, Head Coach of the Appleby Arrows, is very content leading a quiet life. He has a doddery old house-elf who makes his breakfast, a team of players who love Quidditch almost as much as he does, and a Kneazle that curls against his damaged leg at the foot of his bed at night. The absolute last thing he needs is a fit, tattooed, and wildly talented Draco Malfoy back from living his life on the margins. Soon he’s dealing with goblins for the first time since the war, traveling to Prague, eating dodgy squid, and maybe, just maybe, accepting that Quidditch, Malfoy, and even Harry himself are still capable of change.

After selling his soul to a demon for incredible power at the tips of his fingers, Harry flees Privet Drive to spend his next few years on the streets of London, hidden magically as well as physically. When he finally enrols at Hogwarts, only a handful of people know who he truly is, but obscurity doesn’t keep him from trouble and power doesn’t make for experience.

Draco Malfoy didn't find it difficult to serve Voldemort. He found it impossible. Which is why, upon being ordered to kill Dumbledore, he defected to the side of good and sent his own father to prison. Students on both sides of the conflict have problems with him, and he finds himself beset on all sides by hatred and distrust. Harry doesn't know how to feel about any of it, but someone's going to have to take Malfoy's side in all this.

Only months before Draco's upcoming initiation to the Dark Side, an unexpected situation in a dark alleyway causes distortion in his plans. Draco is forced to rethink his options of how he is to get through the war on the winning side. Because only one thing is for certain: he will live to see the end of it.
I'm not usually a fan of first person works (and I wrote one1) and this one flips back and forth quite a bit. It can be confusing at times, but well worth the read.
A word from thewickednix
What I like to call my masterpiece. So far, anyway. It was my first ever-published fanfiction. Also my first ever H/D. I wanted to write a classic theme (and as we all know, the vampire!thing is not exactly a new idea), but I didn't want to fall into the void of hundreds of badly written clichés. I wanted to write something different, which was one of the main reasons I chose to write mainly from Draco's Pov. FtWoaN was also supposed to be something of a 10 chapters long fic, but oh well... it sort of kept growing as I progressed. And before I knew it, I had 29 chapters, 77,000 words and an obsession with writing.

Hermione and Ron finally started dating officially. Harry looked miserable. Draco thought Harry was really in love with Hermione so he hits Harry with the Curse of the Forbidden Fruit. The curse causes the person to not be able to resist acting on lustful thoughts for a forbidden love. Little does Draco know, Harry's forbidden love is not Hermione, but Draco. And, a little side effect of the curse causes Draco to want Harry just as much. So naturally there's lots of sex going on. On the surface it seems to be against each boys' wills; however, under the surface, other things are really happening.
That's the main plot, but there's a lot more going on as well. As Harry and Draco try to deal with the curse, there's a lot of other people that are trying to deal with Harry and Draco. It's a really good story and the sex scenes are not for the faint of heart ... whew! Really hot!

A note from Shivani
Wherein Dumbledore does the unforgivable, and is forsaken by his pawn. This is a departure from what we know of how his sixth year summer will go (meaning, that it's to be his shortest stay ever at Privet Drive, and it's not even mentioned here) and gallops quite merrily into the world of AU. If betrayal fics aren't your cup of tea, or if over-powered Harry isn't your flavour of the month, you may not like this story. Final note is that I wrote this a long time ago, so the beginning of it is rather fast-paced so I could get to where I wanted to go with the barest of fuss—it may or may not approach believable, but I'm not sure I care. It does have a lot of problems in it. I've done things which now I think are ridiculous and have Voldemort make assumptions he has no right to make unless he was feeling insanely optimistic (and even then it's laughable in terms of logic). However, I think the story is more about the relationships, so ...

Harry is about to enter his seventh year, and things are not quite what he expected. He is no longer the angry boy who watched his world fall apart at the end of his fifth year, but neither has he completely found his place yet. He is looking for something, and to his confusion it seems to involve Draco Malfoy. Set for revelations that will shake his whole world view, Harry must deal with unstable magic, far too many secrets, love, kidnapping, his dead godfather, and of course Voldemort and his lackeys. It's going to be a busy year.
Absolutely great story, but I'll warn you, Beren loves a good cliffhanger, so be prepared to have to force yourself to take a break from reading. This is an all time classic.

The threat of open war in on the horizon. The Order and the Ministry are of one accord and both know that where Harry Potter is, Voldemort will eventually be. Preparations are being made and this time the side of the light will not be caught unawares. Summer classes, sabotage, revelations about Draco's father, teaching and the final showdown with Voldemort all await Harry and Draco in this exciting sequel to Gold Tinted Spectacles.
A note from Beren
This story is canon compliant until the end of Order of the Phoenix and then goes AU. None of the HBP or Deathly Hallows plot will be used, or the Horcruxes for that matter since this story was planned before we knew the details about those things, and hence has it's own fanon. This includes birthdays and other information that have since been revealed on Pottermore (which shut down and is now WizardingWorld.com) and in further productions. It's only taken me 12 years to finish it! ;-)

Malfoy Security Inc. is hired when Chudley Cannons' star Seeker Harry Potter starts receiving disturbing letters. Draco couldn't blame Ophelia Weaver and Dennis Zimmer, the owner and general manager of the Chudley Cannons, for feeling uneasy about the crop of letters Potter had been getting. They were a series, sent through Muggle post, and reading them left Draco with the desire for a long, hot, sterilizing shower. The writer didn't hate Potter. The writer instead had a some weird twisted obsession for him, something the writer called 'love', and as the dates of the letters changed it became clear that the correspondent was becoming impatient with the lack of reciprocation.
That's the short of it, but it's a great read!

A note from Sprout2012
My author name: Sprout2012, has nothing to do with Professor Sprout in Harry Potter. It is a long story, but basically, when I was a baby and my mum returned home from the hospital with me, my sister said my face looked like a cabbage. (Like a cabbage patch doll). This earned me the nickname cabbage from then on.
When I started dating my husband my lovely sister informed him of my nickname and he now calls me this. When I fell pregnant, we didn't want to find out the sex of the baby. But we didn't want to call the baby 'it', so we came up with a nickname. We decided on Sprout, as I am cabbage, the baby would be sprout. He was born in 2012, hence the name Sprout2012.

This story has two strikes against it ... good Snape and toddler Harry/Draco. I'm not a big fan of Snape and I'm not into toddler speak. That being said, then why am I recommending this story? Simple, because it's good. Just when you think you can't stand another toddler tantrum, something big happens. Overall, I think you'll enjoy the story very much.

It’s one thing to hear about the daring tales of Harry Potter but quite another to be living in the middle of one. But the danger Draco is destined for seems trivial once he finds himself falling in love with Harry. This is one of the first stories written by Digitallace, but she has reworked it. She is also the author of "The Burden of Memory," "Memoirs of a Male Escort" and "Ten Steps" all of which are listed here. She is quite the author!

AU from Mad-Eye's death in Deathly Hallows. Harry has safely arrived at The Burrow, but a vision of Voldemort threatens to alter the entire course of the war. With new allies in addition to old, can Harry finally defeat the Dark Lord once and for all? Horcrux hunt fic.
Yes, it's a Horcrux hunt fic and Harry gets significant help from a certain cute blond. The plot is well thought out, the action is good, the characters are spot on and I really enjoyed it!

Harry Potter and the Bound Prince Series

Link verified to ArchiveOfOurOwn.org/
slashprevert on 28 August 2026
Sayingsorry_hh is now listed under an Orphan Accourt at AO3
Slashpervert has been reading and writing fan fiction long enough to remember why they call it “slash” – back when it was still published in “fanzines,” printed via mimeograph or copy machines, and sold at science fiction conventions. In “real life,” Slashpervert is a journalist and social scientist, who has written and published hundreds of articles and a handful of books. Slashpevert also writes original fiction under the name D.M. Atkins.
Sayingsorry_hh has been writing for nearly her entire life, but only recently began writing slash – though she has been reading it for years. Currently, ‘writer’ is most definitely the most definitive term for her. Apart from fan fiction, Sayingsorry_hh has one co-authored original novel in the works, and one original novel for teens she’s been working on for quite some time.
Slashpervert and Sayingsorry_hh began writing together in November 30, 2006. They adapted the RPG format to use as a style of co-writing in which each writes the perspective of one of the main characters. (For example, in fan fiction, Slashpervert writes Draco and Sayingsorry_hh writes Harry.) They have written a dozen novels together, including fan fiction and original fiction.

In Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince there is a pivotal moment where things could have gone very differently. That is the bathroom scene where Harry nearly kills Draco by accident. Draco is upset that Harry has caught him crying and throws a hex. It escalates and ends in blood. Our story begins with the simple premise of "what if" something changed in the bathroom scene so that Harry and Draco talked instead of throwing hexes. It also takes the assumption of unvoiced attraction between the two. Draco takes a chance and kisses Harry. Once sparked, their mutual desire and exploration becomes the driving force in the alternative ending to that of Half-Blood Prince. Draco's "mission" from Voldemort turns out to be more complex than that presented in canon and their solution even more difficult.
This story was first posted on Slashpervert's livejournal beginning on January 7, 2007. AU from HBP, written before the release of DH. Some sections of this book in italics are direct quotes from HPB. We began it as a fun porn without plot but it grew bigger than we thought possible. It was written in dual-character fixed third person point of view. It will change with paragraphs but not within. It as an experiment to allow more active voice for both co-authors.
Original Notes: If you are looking for soft, sweet innocent Harry - don't read this. He isn't evil, but he is definitely edgy. Harry starts out innocent enough, but quickly shows a willingness to try and say just about anything that gets him what he wants. Although he doesn't always top, he is very aggressive. "Harry Potter and The Bound Prince" won the 2007 Quill to Parchment Awards for 1) Best Male Slash, 2) Best Novel Length and 3) Best Trio Era Fan Fiction.

Harry and Draco must find a way to live together now, figure out where they will live, and how they will continue Harry’s fight against Voldemort, including the search for the Horcruxes. As if that weren’t enough for them to deal with, Lucius Malfoy (and his fellow Death Eater prisoners) escapes from prison and comes looking for his son.
This story was first posted on Slashpervert's livejournal beginning on Feb. 13, 2007. AU from Chapter 24 of HPB, written before the release of DH.

A word from Slashpevert
There is a lot of sex in this story. It began as "porn without sex" but grew a plot, a big plot. It was originally serialized at the rate of a couple chapters a week, so we tried to balance episodes so they had a porn/plot mix. (Yes, that makes it about 50/50.) If you only read a couple a week, this will feel balanced. If, on the other hand, you are like most people, you will binge read these novels and it will most likely feel as if there is "too much sex." And, ironically, if you skip the sex scenes, you will risk missing important plot points. At least a third or more of them have elements that become import later in the plot. Read at your own risk and at your own rate. And really, what did you expect from an author named Slashpervert? Just roll with it if you want to have fun.

Harry’s 6th year at Hogwarts begins with Draco taking an opportunity to make life difficult for Harry. But no one appreciates just how effective it has been, having the unintended side-effect of prompting Harry to question his sexuality. Unable to confide in his friends, Harry begins to feel pushed aside as Ron and Hermione start dating and only seem to have eyes for each other. At the same time that Harry becomes more estranged from his friends, he notices that Draco’s behaviour has changed dramatically since the Christmas holiday. This piques Harry’s curiosity and prompts him to get involved in Draco’s life in an unanticipated way. Originally posted July 2004

When Harry fails to keep his anger at bay and Voldemort possesses his mind, the events that follow lead him down a long road to realizing the world isn't as black and white as it seems.
Chaos, hilarity, and tragedy ensue with a Dark Lord being honest all the time, a rival becoming something else, and a world demanding to be saved. Featuring frightened Death Eaters, deep conversations with a monster, Pureblood traditions being ridiculous, and the fight to do the right thing with no true options.
Harry's life just gets more and more bizarre with each passing moment.
A note from sobsicles
So, life has been pretty terrible for me recently, and I decided to revisit my very first OTP for some comfort. Drarry was my first introduction to fandom life many years ago, and it's basically responsible for sucking me into this life of writing fic.
With the way life was going, I just really wanted to write a fic where Harry got to give into his anger--starting with Bellatrix--and it wasn't supposed to become a serious thing, but it somehow grew out of control anyway. The next thing I knew, I had plot and deep dives into characters and a lot of words. Just a heads up, this one gets long.

Bored of being The Chosen One, Harry discovers he rather likes sex and becomes a professional. He’s good at it, and part of why is that he can read people. Not minds, not Legilimens, but their whole self, and he can give them what they don’t even know they want. Enter Draco fucking Malfoy, enigma to everyone, including himself. Harry can’t help but want to break into him, to figure him out. And Draco, thinking he’ll fuck Potter on a lark, has no idea what he’s in for. And I mean no idea.
Hey, you guys are gonna enjoy this story, but be warned - this one drips in sex. Enjoy!
A note from lq_traintracks (lumosed_quill)
Last but not least, because the source creator (JKR) has said a lot to the contrary, I feel it’s important to be very clear that there is, has always been, and always will be a home for trans fandomers in the world of Harry Potter. Fandom would be so much the poorer without you. Trans women are women, trans men are men, and trans people are magic. To my trans readers, humbly and with love, this story is for you.

Set in the summer after fifth year. Draco and Harry are thrown together by chance and what starts off as morbid curiosity transforms into an adventure that neither of them will ever forget.
Harry Potter, resident of number four, Privet Drive, sighed and turned over again in his bed. The digital clock on his nightstand read 4:13 a.m. It would be a little over twelve hours until someone from the Order came to pick him up and carry him away to the Headquarters.
A thousand miles away, Draco Malfoy gazed up at the stars dully from his bed. There wasn’t a single place inside or outside of his body that didn’t hurt. That included his heart. He also had never felt so alone in his entire life. But for some reason, looking at the stars at that moment filled him with a strange sense of comfort.
Both Harry and Draco drifted off into an uneasy sleep, unaware that their paths had just become intertwined.

Harry asks Malfoy on a date. On a dare. What's the worst that could happen?
“I beg your pardon, Potter?” It was lunchtime and Harry Potter had just asked Draco Malfoy out on a date.
“I asked you out, Malfoy.” It had been a dare from Seamus.
“I think I will go with,” Draco paused, squinting at Harry, incredulous at even being asked. “No.”

At first Harry wonders if they’ve managed to destroy his vaults and are trying to tell him in the most oblique way possible. But when he turns the page he realises they’ve found a vault. A vault in the name of Lily and James Potter.
The parchment trembles a little in Harry’s hand. He takes another gulp of wine.
Harry Potter left Britain after the war and didn’t look back. Ten years later, when Gringotts discovers a vault containing his parents’ belongings — including their badly spell-damaged wedding rings — he’s forced to face up to friends and family who’ve grown in ways he could never imagine, a wizarding London rebuilt beyond his expectations, and the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s the entirely unforeseen problem of Draco Malfoy.
Featuring pureblood wizarding traditions, ancestral magic, open mic nights, marriage equality, a diner in Brooklyn and the return of Fleamont Potter.

A word from Lomonaaeren
"Harry is too busy ten years after the war to help out just one family, but that's exactly what he has to do. And as he hunts their enemy, magic no one understands is hunting him. This story will be long and probably a bit tricky to follow in some places, but I promise everything will be explained at the end. It is HP/DM slash and compliant with the epilogue in Deathly Hallows—kind of, as again you’ll see by the end of the story. Also, the choice of jobs for a few of the adult characters contradicts what Rowling has revealed in recent interviews, but since it works better for my story, I’ve chosen to consider only what’s stated in the book as strictly canon."

Auror Harry Potter and his SAT, excuse me, according to Draco, he's Harry's Strategic Apparatus Technician, much like 'Q' is to James Bond, are working together to solve crimes. "Don't start with the film thing," Draco says, and he passes Harry a steaming cup. "It's taken me the best part of five years to stop Weasley from calling me 'Q'." It's twenty-five chapters that happen to coincide with the days of December. Great story!
A word from Saras Girl
First of all, the days/dates for December 2014 do not match the real ones. They failed to suit my purposes. As always, this advent fic was a labour of love, tears and narrowly-avoided mental breakdowns. In the end, I think it came together, and I hope you all enjoy it. I love being a part of so many people’s Christmases and hearing about your rituals for reading it each night makes me really happy. Love to all, and calm, sparkly brightness to everyone you call your own xx

Albus looked out over the chattering student body and wondered if the young man would be successful…finally. They'd already visited Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. And last week Moody and Shacklebolt had escorted him to magical schools all over the world in an effort to find the young man's, so far elusive, mate. Idly he wondered if they shouldn't have tried Hogwarts first but Harry had been adamant that the connection was so faint that there was no way his mate was in the same country. And Dumbledore had agreed. The young man had almost inhaled every piece of knowledge pertaining to the inheritance he had been gifted with on his seventeenth birthday only a month ago. They'd tried all the various schools after Harry had seen in his dreams that his mate was surrounded by many other teenagers. He'd only wished the young man could have seen his mate's face. It would have made it far easier for all.

Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, Aurors, are forced to join a televised global race in order to provide some free positive publicity for the Ministry. Throw in the fact the Draco and Harry don't exactly get along (at all) and you've got a great story. Of course, they learn to get along toward the end, but any further explaination would give the story away. I really enjoyed this one and I think you will too. Cheryl says it's her favorite too!
A word from Cheryl Dyson
This fic was written for H/D Fan Fair on Livejournal and what started as a completely crackish idea took over my life for a few weeks and forced me to do so much research I feel like I could walk some of these places blindfolded. I don't always love my fics, but this one I completely adore. I hope you like reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. :D

Poison doesn't always bring death. Draco learns that there are other ways to suffer and live.
That's the author's summary, but there is a whole lot more to this story.
"Draco stared at Harry and tried to remember all the things about him that he used to hate, the loathing that used to come so naturally; but now it was just a strange, detached remembrance, like a faint twitch of deja vu, a whispered thread from a past that seemed too far removed to be real. Now, all he could see was Harry, the way he truly was without the distortion of the bitter veil of jealousy and enmity, and he saw the way Harry smiled, sincere and encouraging, the way his slim hands moved over the handle of his Firebolt with careful pride, gripping it as it yielded to his complete control, the way Harry's lithe body leaned over his slender broomstick as he soared downward in a steep dive, the wind streamlining past him with fluid resistance, and Draco watched, mesmerised —"

Harry has a serious problem: He wants Malfoy. But how will he convince Ron and Hermione that it’ll be all right? And, for that matter, how will he convince Malfoy to stay? He’s going to have to think like a Slytherin to pull this one off ...
A word from chickenlivesinpumpkin
The first story in this series was meant to be a one-shot. And so was the second one, actually. It's kind of gotten away from me a bit, obviously. From this point on, there's a bit more plot to the series.

Harry decides that there’s something not-quite-right about his relationship with Malfoy. But sex and obsession are put on the back burner when Malfoy's parents realize he's staying at Grimmauld Place with Harry Potter.
Warning: Angst ahead. This is the darkest, heaviest segment in the series so far. Harry might be dominant and a little manipulative in this story, but he’s still Harry, so he can only compromise with Malfoy so far when it comes to allegiances. But after they get a few issues worked out, Harry can, um, get his needs met, ahem, with a clear conscience.

After being kicked out of Grimmauld Place by Harry, Draco lives hidden away in the Room of Requirement, nearly overwhelmed by his anger and grief. He's trying to learn to stand on his own two feet with the help of a few familiar faces, but the ultimate battle is coming to Hogwarts. And where trouble goes, Harry Potter follows. But Draco's not the boy that Harry left behind, and everything that's happened before this changes everything to come.
In the big finish of the series, Harry takes relationship advice from Snape, Draco learns that eyeliner is a boy's best friend, and a mouse kinda sorta helps save the world. Just a little bit.

Harry and Draco have grown up a little in the past four years, but the most important things haven't changed. Well, except for grotesquely overdone PDA, 1950s Muggle housewives, and the perils of doing it "Egyptian Pharaoh" style.
A little fun and games (okay, smut) that gives a glimpse into where the boys end up, epilogue-style.

If there's one thing that Draco Malfoy yearns for, it's seeing Harry Potter in pain. How that happens, he doesn't care. When Potter's name is pulled out of the Goblet of Fire, Draco sees it as the perfect opportunity to fulfill his greatest desire. Except Saint Potter has luck swimming in his veins. He needs to be distracted ... And the best way to do that is to make him fall in love.
A note from write_me227
This story explores Harry and Draco's relationship from 4th year all the way to 8th year. I sort of took it as if I wrote Harry Potter with Drarry, so that being said, it's quite long! It follows along closely with the movies (except a few scenes that have been edited or changed around; there also are a few scenes that reference the books, but not a lot). It is quite the marathon, but I think you should give it a shot! :)
I was 14 when I started writing this story and I finished when I was 16. I'm now 22 and I've realized that I love this story will all its mistakes and I love my writing style in the beginning because, to be blunt, it's really bad, and I remember writing when I was 14. This story helped me grow as a writer and a person, and despite its imperfections, it's in me. However... I do still think about this story a lot and I have gone back and edited a lot of things over time. Some people like it, some people don't. I get it either way, but I feel like I've reached a point where my level is much higher than I started so I'll go back and reread something and be like man I could make this so much better! And then I get really tempted. And then I do it. So... sorry if you come back to reread this and you're like whoa this is different. And sorry if some chapters are kind of basic and then the writing is magically different in another chapter. I just do it on an urge-basis because my time is super crunched and redoing those scenes is a form of stress relief for me.

Harry sees Draco at King’s Cross while sending off their sons to Hogwarts. But what is it about Draco Malfoy that seems to intrigue Harry so late in life?
A word from Mystwriter
This is a revised version of King’s Cross previously posted. Since J K Rowling made her surprising
announcement about Dumbledore, I thought it mete to change the scene in McGonagall’s office. And
she also gave us new information. Formerly, she said that Snape’s portrait would not be in the
headmaster’s office, but then she said in this latest appearance that he was, due to Harry’s insistence.
Also, she told us that Neville married Hannah Abbott. Absurd. There was never any indication of that in
the book. And I think Ginny would have seen the hero in him, the hero she was always attracted to, and
they would have gotten together. That is my concession to canon and I guess I’m permitted this extra bit
because, after all, Harry and Draco are together here, so ...

I liked this story, but wavered a bit on adding it. In the end, I decided to go ahead and suggest it. The end is kind of abrupt, but the sex is ... realistic and the characters seem to be ... themselves and not some way out of character respresentation. That said, I'd give it a go and enjoy.

Quoting from Windseeker's home page (Language Warning!):
Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today is the word "fuck." Out of all the English words that begin with the letter "F", fuck is the only word that is referred to as the "F" word. It's the one magical word that just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love.
Fuck, as most words in the English language, is derived from German, the word 'flicken' which means "to strike." In English, fuck falls into many grammatical categories. As a transital verb for instance, "John fucked Shirley." As an intransitive verb, "Shirley fucks."
Its meaning's not always sexual, it can be used as an adjective such as "John's doing all the fucking work." As part of an adverb, "Shirley talks too fucking much." As an adverb enhancing an adjective, "Shirley is fucking beautiful." As a noun, "I don't give a fuck." As part of a word, "Abso-fucking-lutely" or "In-fucking-credible." And, as almost every word in a sentence, "Fuck the fucking fuckers."
LOL, I love it! This word craft author has written a trilogy that is just over 1.4 million words! Enjoy!

The war is over and Voldemort has been defeated; Harry has been used and thrown away. He lives in Muggle London, lost, confused and destroyed. But Lupin and others want him to return to the wizarding world, and Draco Malfoy is sent out to find him.
Scorpius certainly is his father's son when it comes to appearance, but that's where the similarities end. I enjoyed this story very much.

Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.
Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.
With help from unexpected places (read between the lines and see Draco), Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.
Wow! What an awesome whopper of a story. Sit back and hold on for a hell of a ride. Enjoy!

The other half has a prurient curiosity about him that drives him crazy. Harry wasn't sure which attitude annoyed and depressed him more. Ron and Hermonie are worried about him. Hermione suggest he take in a lodger so someone will be around him all the time and perhaps bring him out of his depression. His first applicant ... Draco Malfoy. Features a place called Neverland.

Harry hadn’t trusted Draco one bit, even though he had recanted and come over to the good side in the midst of the war. However, Draco had been his only known ally when he had at last come upon Voldemort. Voldemort had been obligated to place his trust in Draco as completely as Harry had had to. But where Voldemort had faith, Harry had grave doubt. In the end Draco had created a vulnerable situation for Voldemort and Harry had moved in and killed the Dark Lord. They stood in the aftermath of Voldemort’s destruction and only then had Harry truly believed that Draco had turned to their side. They had even smiled at one another – briefly.
Then it happened. They went outside, the Minister of Magic was there, but he was with people both Harry and Draco believed to be Death Eaters. The pair had held their wands against the group and the Minister tried to explain that all of the Death Eaters with him had turned, but Harry didn’t believe it, neither did Draco. Fearing for their lives and without an alternative, they had killed them all, including the Minister; the entire event had taken less than two minutes. That is when the members of the Order had arrived and the beginning of the end for both Draco and Harry arrived with them.
Sent to Azkaban together, the pair finds themselves immersed in the adventure of their lives and in something else completely unexpected.
I stumbled across this gem of a story quite by accident and I'm sure glad I did. It's forty-four good length chapters with five Epilogues of an excellent Harry/Draco story with lots of plot twists and unexpected surprises.

Draco Malfoy was done.
He gave up on who he's supposed to be. That hadn't truly been Draco Malfoy anyway. The real Draco Malfoy... no one knew who that was. But now Draco is tasked with several problems: Would anyone believe that he'd changed? How could he convince them, especially with Pansy and Blaise running around, out for his blood? And most importantly, how could he make amends?
But life with Harry Potter could never be simple. And as secrets are revealed and new dangers present themselves at every turn, Hogwarts will prove never to be peaceful, not even after the fall of the Dark Lord.

Draco Malfoy has returned home from France after a five-year Potions Mastery study. He opens a shop in Knockturn Alley, is researching mental health treatments, and has a lovely flat all his own. The ire toward his name seems to have blown over, and he's treated kindly by even those who were opposite of him in the war. His life feels so full, but he can't ignore that he knows what's missing: his old nemesis and obsession, Harry Potter. But something's wrong with Harry. He seems to have had a complete breakdown after the war, and has spent the last five years trapped in time. Every day is the same, and every day, Draco makes amends to him. Potter seems to have lost himself to the trauma, and Draco wants to be the one to help him recover. But not all is what it seems, and Draco may need Harry just as much.

[Extensive re-telling of Deathly Hallows] ‘Kill Albus Dumbledore’ is less a challenging task and more a suicide mission, so when Draco Malfoy is presented with the option to either dispatch his Headmaster or suffer an excruciating and most ignominious death of his own, along with his parents, he reaches deep into his black little Slytherin heart and manages to scrape together enough courage to go with option C instead: Spend Sixth Year secretly studying Animagecraft in the hopes he’ll turn into something sufficiently imposing even the Dark Lord himself won’t be able to keep Draco under his thumb. But just his luck, his Animagus form turns out to be a dragon, and a rather randy juvenile at that, intent on finding its mate: one Harry James Potter.

Harry never was good at potions. Ron never was good at controlling his temper. Draco never was good at shutting his mouth. A disastrous choice in potion pairings by the Harry-Hating Snape only ends up brewing trouble. When the potion inevitably explodes Harry and Draco are landed in the hospital wing, completely unconscious. Upon waking they discover that not only do they feel an annoying itch which neither can identify but they are also able to see into the only place no one is meant to see- the other's mind. Scared into secrecy by the thought of being used for experimentation in order to get rid of the condition (that was probably not curable anyway) how will these two enemies cope with not only each other, the itch and the threatening shadow of Lord Voldemort, but a jumble of mixed up no-sense, 'what-the-hell-am-I-thinking?'

One late night, by an odd, chance meeting, the divorced Harry Potter followed one Draco Malfoy home, and they had an impromptu one-night-stand. Eight years later, they're in a situation neither one of them would have expected to have ever found themselves in- both lonely, single dads with school-age children whom they have recently gained full custody of, they're forced to mingle when their sons, Albus and Scorpius, become fast friends. How will Harry and Draco react to the feelings that keep surging up between them, and the feelings that are growing between their sons?
A note from Jevic
I am a bit confused as I found this same story by Ethan-Silas on FanFiction.net, but with only two chapters. They are word for word, but this version on AO3 has nine chapters, so that's the one I'm presenting.

Snape turns Draco into a ferret for his own protection. He would've been safer with the Dark Lord. One very funny read!
When Snape had said he was sending Draco away for safety's sake, Draco had pictured polyjuice maitais on the Côte d'Azur or hot butterbeer glamours in Interlaken. Having a horrifying, remembered spell shot at him, side-along apparating to Scotland, and then being pitched onto school grounds didn't factor into any part of his imaginings. Snape had obviously had one too many crucios to be thinking clearly.

Draco Malfoy wasn’t exactly the best roommate Harry’s ever had. The man tended to watch way too much James Bond and his obsession with muggle technology not only rivaled Arthur Weasley’s but more often than not ended with Harry trying to assure him that the appliances weren’t out to get him. Then there was the little fact that Harry was hopelessly in love with him while Draco remained completely unaware, bringing nameless men home night after night.
But Harry loved his life and was somewhat (as long as he doesn’t actually think about it) content enough in the way things were going. That is until Draco’s old boyfriend comes sweeping back into town – making Draco breakfast and fixing the remote control before Harry can and forcing him to realize that if he doesn’t do something soon, that he might lose the man he loves before he even gets a chance to ever actually have him.

On 01 September 2017, at King's Cross, nineteen years after Voldemort was defeated, Draco Malfoy nodded curtly at Harry Potter. Contrary to popular belief, the nod was not the result of a sense of obligatory politeness — there were nineteen reasons for that nod, and each of them enriched Draco's and Harry's lives a bit more than the previous, so that by the time of the curt nod, the two men had forged a relationship that neither time nor marriage could destroy. Each chapter will be a separate story detailing a meeting between Harry and Draco.
What a wonderfully told story! And it is completely epilogue compliant! The nod Draco gives Harry has a whole new meaning after you read this story. Oh, and, ah, keep the tissues handy ... major character death warning.

Draco Malfoy saves Harry Potter from the dungeons of the Malfoy Estate and his father Lucius. The two enemies fall in love, but Draco can't stand the thought of losing the ever-guarded Harry Potter. Having never felt love before, and having never being able to say those special three words to Harry, Draco does the only thing he can think of ... he breaks up with Harry. One year later, Harry is taken captive by Lucius and taken to Voldemort. Now Draco must do whatever he can to save the one person in the whole world who he truly loves.
A word from Constance1
This story was my first attempt at a multi-chapter fic. It is extraordinarily juvenile, overly dramatic and has no character development. I'm only leaving it here because it reminds me of how far I've come in my writing ability. Read at your own risk, you have been warned ...

Harry's boring routine is suddenly interrupted by a single pub night with his old rival from school.
Harry James Potter, Saviour of the Wizarding World, The Chosen One, The Boy Who Lived ... grew up. That alone was something of a miracle, considering how close he’d come to death in just a few short years between his eleventh and eighteenth birthdays. Nonetheless, he’d survived the most terrible war the wizarding world had ever seen, and he’d put Voldemort down once and for all. And then he grew up.
The Hound and Hind was largely empty, since it wasn’t quite the usual after-business hours, and Harry decided to mentally compose his letters for Jamie and Lily while he nipped at his pint. ’Oud Tom, the barman, gave a toothy grin when Harry walked in and headed for a seat at the bar.
“Oh, bloody hell! Potter?!” Draco Malfoy was the owner of the half-empty martini between them, and Harry’s eyes went flat with irritation. Malfoy muttered something under his breath, and Harry caught enough to know that Malfoy was cursing about having been a fool to go to a Muggle bar anyway.
“I’m here off and on most weeks, Malfoy. This is my watering hole. If you think you’re slumming, piss off and go find another oasis, one where buzzards and jackals are welcomed.”
“Oooo, sharp tongue, Potter. I’m finishing my martini and then I’m out of here. What ... what is that swill in that glass you’re ... you’re ... My God!? You drink that?”
Harry finished a long pull at his Guinness, licking the mustache of foam off of his lip with a smile.
“It’s called Guinness, you poncy bastard, and don’t blaspheme against it. It’s beer. Good beer. It’ll put hair on your chest, which in your case is a miracle worthy of canonizing a beer for sainthood.”
And away we go! God, I love great exchanges between the dynamic duo and this one has it in spades. Enjoy!

Lomonaaeren continues to amaze me with the mastery she has over her craft. She is truly in a class by herself. I continue be thoroughly entertained by everything she has written!
A word from Lomonaaeren
The story's title comes from a quote by the fantasy and science fiction writer Ursula K. Le Guin in her essay "From Elfland to Poughkeepsie": "The Lords of Elfland are true lords, the only true lords, the kind that do not exist on this earth: their lordship is the outward sign or symbol of real inward greatness." I became interested in writing a story that would chronicle the transformation of Harry into one of those lords.

After a particularly gruelling Occlumency session, Harry practically comes apart at the seams and finds himself living partway between two lives. One is his life at Hogwarts. In the other, he's been in a mental institution for the better part of six years. What happens when Harry realises his whole life may be one elaborate fantasy? Great read!
A word from V.G. Marks
The plot bunny for this story spawned from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, "Normal Again", where she finds herself stuck between the world she knows and a world where she's been in an asylum since she was in high school. This is not a crossover though and my story will not spoil the Buffy episode. No Buffy characters will be making an appearance. Nuh-uh. The title comes from a song by The Smiths and I found it quite appropriate when viewed in light of the story. The song has no lyrics, but feel free to make up your own.

The day of Harry's twelfth birthday had set all-new scores for worst ever. Between Aunt Petunia's abuse, aching hunger and his horrible family deciding to have a dinner party that he most emphatically was not allowed to interrupt, he didn't think it could get worse.
Until it did.
Discovering that his friends actually did care, that their letters had been stolen pushed Harry to the very edge of disaster. He needed those letters, no matter what Dobby said or did. But ...
... It was a trap. Saying "no" to that trap has a power beyond anything Harry has ever known. There's a greater freedom in "no" than in anything Harry has ever learned.
For Draco Malfoy, though, saying "yes"?
Changes everything.

After the war, Harry Potter is left with no one to save, no one to fight, and one extra wand. Draco Malfoy escapes punishment by leaving the country... or so he thinks. Seven years pass before they see each other again. Draco is no longer the master of his wand and a battle of talent and wills ensues. A story of a wand without a true master, and two men who fight to master each other... and themselves.

This fic is co-written: every other chapter will be written by me. Chapters written in Harry's perspective are mine, chapters written in Draco's perspective are written by the lovely and talented keppiehed.

Draco has worked hard to gain a reputation as an unbiased reporter for the Prophet. He never imagined this would lead to Harry Potter offering him a job, or how much accepting said job would change his life.
"I've had an idea," Harry said, "You were there that night, at Greengrass Moor, when I ... " he trailed off looking embarrassed.
"When you told everyone they ought to be fucking grateful and leave you the hell alone? Yes, it's one of my fondest memories." Draco wasn't trying to annoy, it was true, and the image of Potter swearing at Draco's idiot, fame-whore of a boss was something that never failed to make him smile.
Harry flushed, "I didn't mean it, not in the way it came out, and certainly I didn't mean to shout it at the editor of the Prophet."
Draco Malfoy was still slightly amazed that he was standing on the doorstep of Number Twelve Grimmauld Place. He never would have thought that Harry Potter's very public and very ... sweary, emotional explosion would have led to him offering Draco, of all people, a job.

Quidditch may be the only way Harry can be close to Draco. And suddenly, it becomes more important than ever as they near the end of their tenure at Hogwarts and have to face each other on opposing sides in the Wizarding world. Does love have a chance anywhere but the Quidditch pitch?
For six years there had been nothing but enmity between Harry and Draco. Six years of school at Hogwarts, six years of words, insults, duels, and hexes. But there was certainly one thing that would have set the Slytherin off like nothing else. If he suspected, if he had one iota of an inkling that Harry Potter, hero of the Wizarding world, had a crush on Draco Malfoy, Harry’s life would be even more miserable than Voldemort was making it.

A word from vvc
This is an AU for year six. Also, OotP did not happen – there's too much in there for Harry and Draco, much less Harry and Severus, to ever have an amicable relationship. In my opinion. This is a slow, soft, sort of love story. Quite smarmy in parts. There is no action. There is no adventure. There is no smiting of bad guys. I'm really quite the fan of magical maturity fics, so I decided to do my own.

The war is over and Harry has defeated Voldemort, but now he's a bitter revengeful man. Draco Malfoy is so desperate for help that he shows up at the Burrow where Harry lives with Molly and Arthur. Will Draco get the help he needs or will a bitter Harry Potter just put him out of his misery?
This is a very well written story that introduces a new twist on Voldemort and Horcruxes. It also deals with some pretty sensitive issues including rape and suicide. Samayel incorporates the issues into the story seemlessly and I highly recommend it. This story is a classic.
UPDATE: 13 March 2016 - Just read this story again and it is still among the best of the classics!

Draco Malfory knocks on the door.
Inside the house, an almighty racket starts up. Draco can’t hear exactly what is being yelled, but someone is having a complete conniption fit. Draco’s eyes widen and he takes an unconscious step backwards before he gets a handle on his emotions again. He tugs his waistcoat straight and takes a deep breath.
“Oh, shut up, you daft cow,” yells a voice near the door and Draco flinches in spite of himself. The other yelling peters out and Draco plasters a smile on his face as the door swings open. And then his heart stops. Honest to Merlin, it stops for a beat. Because the man behind the door is none other than Harry James Potter.
“You’re the interior designer?” Potter leans forward, his eyebrows raised. Merlin, the man really wears his emotions on his face. The look of surprise is almost comical.
“Yes,” Draco says.
Draco Malfoy is an interior designer. Harry Potter is re-doing Grimmauld Place. And to make matters worse, a pandemic has just shut down the wizarding world, forcing Draco to quarantine in Grimmauld Place.

Harry Potter is depressed. He's not talking to anyone and just goes though the motions. Hermionne had been killed during a battle with Voldemort. It happened almost a year ago and still Harry mourned. Then, slowly, Harry became Harry again. He was even seen smiling. When the Black Raven from the Ministry flew into the Great Hall one day, everyone knew it was delivering a message of death. When the Raven fluttered down in front of Harry, he glanced over to the Slytherin table to see an empty chair where his secret lover usually sat. "No," he said over and over.
It's a Harry/Draco story and we get insights into their relationship through flashbacks. Then along comes Lucien. Draco's cousin who could pass as Draco's identical twin. That's when things really get difficult for our beloved Harry.
Reader be warned ... yer gonna need a few tissues to get through this one.

Draco Malfoy has become the Ministry’s best Auror. He executes all kinds of unusual assignments, including one to go after the unexpectedly fugitive Harry Potter. But as he chases Potter down, Draco learns a lot more about what the Ministry has been hiding from the wizarding world than he ever wanted to know — secrets that may impact more than just his ability to arrest Potter.
This is a soul-marks story - the idea that soulmates can identify each other by corresponding marks on their skin. However, this doesn't necessarily promise perfect happiness between the soulmates in question. You will enjoy this story!

According to FanLore.org this is a Classic. "It's incredibly slow but is obviously intentionally this way, but I still found myself hooked rather quickly into it. The writing in this story is head and shoulders above almost any other fic (and most modern novels) I've ever read. I constantly found myself rereading sentences and paragraphs or just pausing to take in what I had just read to appreciate how beautiful it was."
Draco Malfoy has been missing for three years; Harry is assigned the cold case and slowly becomes intrigued by the memories he investigates. Brilliant plot, awesome character development and overall, a wonderful story. If you like a good tour of England, this is a story for you.
As of 2024, this story has over a million hits on AO3, and is one of the most kudosed works in the pairing. It is considered a fandom classic by many, for the quality of the writing and storytelling. This story is consistantly rated as one of the best Drarry stories ever written.

The Sacrifices Arc
An Alternate Harry Potter Universe
by Lightning on the Wave
8 Total Stories with 3,005,743 total words
Lightning on the Wave has written eight complete stories, they're really books! Each one parallels the JK Rowling books.
A word from Lightning on the Wave
Most chapters are Harry's POV for a majority of the action. Some include small Snape and Draco POV's. A few chapters will be all Snape's POV, or Harry's, and sometimes James, Lily, or someone else. 'Interludes' will be things like Draco's letters to his father and his diary entries; most, but not all, are Draco-centric. The story's heart is Harry, though, so most of the time it will stay there.
It will have at least one major slash pairing (Harry/Draco), but that's much further along in the story than I am right now. As for other pairings, I can't say, though I can promise that I'll not be writing Ron/Hermione - for reasons that will become obvious in about the fifth year analogue - or Snape/anyone.
Harry is a Slytherin in this story, but he's also devoted to his twin brother, to following him and protecting him and making him look even more heroic than he might. Therefore, he's going to clash with both people who are purely Gryffindor and with Slytherins like Draco and Snape, who will get frustrated with him. I can promise there won't be physical or sexual abuse. There will be a lot of arguments, darkness, death, and mayhem, though.

James Potter faces a choice that is either the answer to all his mistakes, or the worst one he's ever made.
This is a short story taking place in the middle of The Sacrifics Arc, but chronicling an event that's only referred to glancingly there. James Potter faces an ancient artifact that will either grant him peace from his mistakes, or end them forever. This is mostly gen, though James/Lily is referred to, but I suppose it requires a warning for emotional upset.

This is Year 6, the AU of Half-Blood Prince. Revolution is never an easy choice—and worse when you’re trying to respect the free will of everyone, wizard and magical creature alike. Prophecy and politics and the Ministry... Harry doesn’t need any more complications. This is the sixth story in what I call the Sacrifices Arc, following Wind That Shakes the Seas and Stars. By now, it's its own full-blown alternate universe, with Slytherin!Harry, Harry and Draco in an established relationship, and Voldemort temporarily so badly wounded that he can't fight, and you're probably not going to understand the story if you try to start reading here.

Yet what will survive the War diminishes every day he does not find and destroy a Horcrux. This is by far the darkest, and there are long stretches absent of any sort of fluff, with lots of scenes that may be triggering for people. And lots and lots of characters don't survive this one.

Harry and Draco get locked in a safe house for their own protection.
Harry’s eyes bulged. Draco Malfoy. There was a name that he had very conciously tried to forget ever since the night the blonde had appeared at 12 Grimmauld Place, throat cut and near death. That he had the strength to Apparate had amazed them all. If it hadn’t been for Draco Malfoy, Harry was sure he’d still be hunting Voldemort instead of sitting here in the Head Auror’s office getting an assignment he didn’t want, which even still was a better deal. Despite this, he wasn’t sure he wanted to be reminded of his old rival.

While Voldemort’s prisoner, Draco is made a vampire and forced to take Harry as his first meal. With Draco managing to resist the temptation to drain him, just barely, in a moment of blind rage at what he has been forced to become, he aids Harry in the destruction of Voldemort. But even with that threat vanquished, once back at Hogwarts, Draco finds himself disturbingly addicted to Harry’s blood. And amongst all this, a dark shadow looms ominously on the outline of the forest, watching them closely.

Harry just wants to shower in peace, but the 8th year boy's bathroom is already occupied by Draco Malfoy, who's taking care of some business of his own.
Harry glanced over towards the shower stalls as he prepared to take off his cloak when he recognized the blond head of one Draco Malfoy, and he paused in his movements, momentarily frozen.
Harry realized with a lurch, as he took in the left hand of Malfoy’s that was resting against the tiled wall of the shower, supporting some of his weight, and the right arm that was working furiously, making the lithe muscles of his back ripple, it appeared that Malfoy was wanking.
“Harry.” The last was a moan, long and drawn out, as Malfoy finally crested the wave, and it was so erotic that Harry thought he might just come right along with him, though he had made no move to touch himself.
Yes, Draco Malfoy was beautiful. And he was saying my name.

A word from Jevic
That's the author's summary. The author is not very good with summaries, but is very good at telling stories. I would almost call this AU as Dumbledore killed Voldemort and died in the process, years after Harry graduated from Hogwarts. This story is mainly about Harry, Draco and Draco's son Adrian. I completely enjoyed this story!
Note: The index page for this story is somewhat difficult to navigagte. Just return to the index page after each chapter and you will be fine. Enjoy this excellent story!

Draco Malfoy's parents are in Azakaban and the Malfoy assets have been frozen by the Ministry leaving Draco almost penniless. An anonymous benefactor has set up accounts in all the shops in Diagon Alley allowing Draco to buy all his school supplies for the upcoming year. Using his Slytherin cunning, he soon discovers his mysterious benefactor.
"WHY? POTTER WHY? What was all that for? The secrecy, all the effort, no credit for you, no brownie points, so why?" Draco's face was red. He knew his cheeks must be burning, but he was past caring now. His entire focus was on Potter, who had frozen stiff at the edge of the door.
"I did it, because, because" Potter faltered for a minute, choking on either laughter or tears, looking at Draco with a crazy kind of desperation and helplessness. "Draco-Malfoy-doesn't-wear-second-hand-robes." Potter's eyes were shining. Then he turned away, and left without another word, leaving Draco sitting in gob-smacked confusion.
Wow! What a great story. You will definately enjoy reading this one.

Harry Potter was supposed to be practicing Quidditch moves. Instead, he was just making lazy circles around the field on his broomstick, idly wondering when exactly he was going to start training in earnest. All of a sudden, something whizzed by his head. Harry's Seeker reflexes kicked in and he swerved wildly, thinking illogically that it was a Bludger out to get him. A moment later, something else came barreling by - only this was a person. A person on a broom, who shot by Harry with a rude laugh and chased the first flying object, finally snatching it out of the air. The intruder stopped, turned, and waved a sarcastic hello. It was Draco Malfoy.
What begins as a slashy bet on the Quidditch field soon develops into something much more significant. Lots of sex in this one!

Unsure of what he wants, things begin to sour around him. As much as he thought he loved Ginny, he's beginning to realise that perhaps they aren't well-matched.

A note from the Author(s) (on FanFiction and AO3)
Welcome, dear readers! A bit of an explanation, here. This is a fic written by two authors. We have worked together to write this story for you for a loooong time. Months, in fact. Originally we had this story published under the username Thanatoslives, but due to the fact that that account is used to write single-author fics already and this is a team project, we decided to create a new account that we both have access to. We apologize to anyone who began reading this story under that username and for any confusion caused because of that. We promise that this is the only time that will happen.

The war is over, the survivors are moving on. The hero is finally allowed to go on leave – and meets an old enemy, who is working in a Muggle profession in a city without magic.
Harry found out rather quickly that he wasn't any good at being a tourist. It didn't come as a big surprise; this was, after all, the first time in his life he'd ever left Britain, and the idea of going to a place for no other purpose than looking at it still seemed – strange somehow. For as long as he remembered, there had been things that needed to be done: cooking, cleaning or weeding the garden at number 4, Privet Drive, studying and avoiding being killed at Hogwarts, then the time of planning, plotting and fighting that had been the war. And afterwards, his desk at Auror Headquarters which always seemed to be overflowing with paperwork. Now, for the first time, he had nothing to do but to – how had Arthur Weasley put it? – have a good time. However he was supposed to go about that.

A Word from Cheryl Dyson
Yes, this fic is totally based on Sleepless in Seattle, although I altered it quite heavily to force it into the magical world and my own amusement. It's nearly epilogue-compliant, except that a certain person won't make it to appear on Platform 9 3/4 for Albus' first year at Hogwarts.

The Prince has fallen; struck down in his moment of absolute glory, his shining moment to prove absolute loyalty. Yet such a triumphant moment morphed to such utter disappointment. Punishment must be dealt. The old fool was dead, yes, yet by the wrong hand. The Dark Lord will teach him the error of his ways. Failing was not acceptable. However, he can't kill the boy, that would be too easy, too merciful.
Voldemort knew exactly what to do to insure the boy's obedience and then, he will have one last chance to earn his way back to his master's good graces. Draco wouldn't submit easily though. Voldemort welcomed the fight, as he knew the young Prince would fall at his feet in the end.

A week had passed since the Seeker Rematch, and Harry had not slept a single night without reliving the moment in increasingly erotic and bizarre detail. Not that it wasn't bizarre enough that the subject of his dreams was Draco Malfoy.
Draco wants a rematch, Hermione wants some answers, Ron wants things back the way they were, and Harry just wants a good night's sleep. A coming-out tale in the life of a famous young wizard, complete with meddling professors, 'fowl' play, first love, and some truly excellent friends.

This story and its author disappeared from the Internet. I can find no remains, not even the original website that hosted the story. It has lived a quiet life on my laptop in a dusty file folder under my archives folder. I recently dusted it off. So, here it is, freshly polished and ready to read.

Draco Malfoy is broke, the Manor is being converted into a war museum, and he’s on probation, forced to work a menial job filing at the Ministry to meet the terms of a stayed sentence to Azkaban. After someone burns down his apartment with what little he has been left including his wand, Potter offers him sanctuary, but Grimmauld Place is so horrifying Draco feels obligated to try to repair at least enough of it to keep it from falling in on them both. This is a story about war, trauma and wizarding home renovation.

Two years after the war, and Harry’s content with his life. OK, so it’s a little annoying that he keeps winning Witch Weekly’s Most Eligible Bachelor award, and he’s really not looking forward to the unveiling of an enormous gold statue of himself, but he loves his friends, and he loves being an Auror. And if he yearns for something more, something he can barely bring himself to think about, well, he’ll probably get over it. No one’s happy all the time, are they? But then everything changes, and Harry’s thrown into a new and dazzling world he’s not sure he can actually escape from. And as time goes on, he starts to wonder: does he actually want to?

When the truth about a seemingly minor Dark hex Harry has suffered leads to the dissolution of his marriage with Ginny, Harry spins into a downward spiral. His private consolation is creating a fantasy life for himself in his journal as Ethan Starfall, a normal wizard with a big family. When he receives a random owl Draco Malfoy has cast into the void as a plea for help with his son Scorpius, Harry replies—as Ethan. There’s no reason, he thinks, for an epistolary friendship with Draco to go further. But Draco might have different ideas about that.
It's a story by Lomonaaeren. I don't need to say anymore. She's awesome!

A word from Romaine
This fic is marked as Dubious Consent. Some readers over the years (originally posted 2007) have stated it should be NonCon. I have my own philosophy on why I don't think this moment of ritualistic sex should be, but it is a very triggering scene. (This will happen in Chapter 4).

After the war, Draco disappeared and started over in America, vowing never to return to Great Britain and the fraught past he left behind. Unfortunately, when his mates convince him to sign up for an exchange programme for the last year of their Auror Training, Draco learns that he doesn't have much of a choice in the matter.
A word from gracerene
I'm warning for the "Implied/Referenced rape/non-con" tagged above to be on the safe side, but the content is not particularly explicit nor prevalent, though the impact is occasionally mentioned throughout the fic. There is one brief, non-graphic flashback scene in chapter 12, which is also warned for at the start of the chapter. There is also arguable infidelity, as Harry and Draco share a single drunken kiss while Harry is still with Ginny, but nothing further happens until Harry and Ginny break up. Despite the fact that there are several American OCs in this fic, I decided to stick with British spellings throughout for consistency sake. The one exception to this is when an American says the word "ass" because it actually sounds different than the British "arse". ;)

When Gawain Robards asks him to form Special Branch Seven-Four-Alpha, Harry Potter knows they'll have to work outside the confines of the law - even though they are the law.
Notes: This is a five-story arc about an Auror Special Branch unit whose core members are Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, and Blaise Zabini. The author promises endgame Drarry, but, let's face it, there are going to be a lot of up and downs on the way. (Think Shondaland for Drarry.)

Three months after their brief encounter, Draco has almost forgotten about Potter--or so he tells himself. Then a Dark wizard shows up on the Auror radar and all hell breaks loose. Draco will have to choose between everything he holds dear--everything he's worked so hard for--and a few stolen moments of passion with a certain green-eyed Inspector, once his sworn enemy and now something rather different entirely. He'll make the right choice, won't he? Who is he kidding? He'll ruin everything, as per usual. Bad choices and the name Malfoy go hand in hand.

Auror Special Branch Team Seven-Four-Alpha--Sergeant Draco Malfoy, Constable Pansy Parkinson, and Constable Blaise Zabini led by their SIO (Senior Investigating Officer), Inspector Harry Potter--must handle personal and political fallout from the implication of Ministry employees and Aurors in the scandal around escaped Death Eaters and a Dementor uprising at Azkaban. On top of that, their original target, Antonin Dolohov, is in the wind.
With all the ruckus, it's a good thing they have help from Unspeakable Hermione Granger, American Unspeakable, Legilimens, and Harry's recent ex, Jake Durant, Blaise's legendary necromancer grandfather, Barachiel Dee, and his potions expert mother, Olivia Zabini. What could possibly go wrong with an army of best friends, ex-lovers, and family? Especially when you add the strong-willed Parkinson clan to the mix.
Meanwhile, troubling new leads arise, taking Our Team in a surprising direction.
And Draco, still hiding his relationship with his SIO from the upper echelons of the Auror force, is definitely not falling in love with Harry Potter along the way. Not at all. Don't be ridiculous.

After recent events in New York, Seven-Four-Alpha are set to return back to London. They've captured their primary target, but by no means settled their case. They've still got rogue Dementors at Azkaban, prying investigators from Luxembourg, and a far larger Death Eater threat to manage, not to mention pressure from their own higher ups. Draco is reeling from his loss, and Harry is trying to be the best boyfriend he can, which may mean not being Draco's guv any longer. Harry's uncertain what his team'll find as they press deeper in the investigation, but he knows they will all be tested, perhaps more than they can bear.
But they haven't a choice, have they? It's the bloody Death Eaters, after all, and the political integrity of Wizarding Britain and their magical allies hangs in the balance.

Seven-Four-Alpha are back in London with available resources of the Ministry tracking their every move. Draco Malfoy remains lost, last seen in Thibodaux, Louisiana, as MACUSA (The Magical Congress of the United States of America) was closing in. Harry is raging, barely in control of his magic, and the rest of the team are battered and unsure. Their recent failure haunts them, as does the spectre of a MACUSA-Ministry alliance under the control of the Quahog administration and its shadow puppetmaster, Aldric Yaxley. The Dementor crisis with Luxembourg is brewing in the background, as is a conflict with Rodolphus Lestrange. And that's not even mentioning the bargain Blaise struck with Death to return his cup. The team have very little energy or resources for one fight, much less several of this magnitude simultaneously.
Should they fail, though, political tyranny will grip both sides of the Atlantic and evils recently banished may return. Each of them is fighting for something they hold dear, but no victory comes without a price. Still, desperate situations call for desperate measures, and desperation appears to be all they have.
NOTE: This is the final book in the Tales From the Special Branch series; our action starts two weeks after the end of Dare to Think. While it's not entirely crucial for you to have read the rest of the books first, it'll probably make a hell of a lot more sense if you have an inkling of the backstory.

When she not-so-accidentally overhears a shocking revelation regarding one Harry Potter, she devises a cunning plan to convince Draco to defect. Unfortunately, where Potter is concerned, nothing ever really goes to plan ...

It's Potter's fault, of course, that Draco finds himself trapped in the same twenty-four-hour period, repeating itself over and over again. It's been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco's getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always. At first, though, the time loop seems liberating. For the first time in his life, he can do anything, say anything, be anything, without consequence. But the more Draco repeats the day, the more he realises the uncomfortable truth: he's falling head over heels for the speccy git. And suddenly, the time loop feels like a trap. For how can he ever get Harry to love him back when time is, quite literally, against him?

Harry is magically transported back to Hogwarts in 1926, and until they find a way to return him to 1997, he is enrolled as a student. The very first student he meets is a blond Slytherin named Draco Malfoy. A time without Voldemort gives Harry the chance to learn things about magic and himself, but that era is not without certain evils. Nominated for a Multi-faceted Award.

A monumental cock-up in Potions leaves Harry and Draco contending with more than mutual enmity, and a strong desire to utter all manner of profanities. Slash, sex and slurred words ensue.
It was like the jerk of a Portkey but infinitely more painful. Harry could feel his spirit being tugged from his body and he could feel himself resisting with terror, and screaming out in pain. Then everything spun around him and he lost consciousness. When he came round he became aware of three things, even before he'd opened his eyes. One: He had a splitting headache. Two: He wasn't wearing an awful lot. Three: He was not alone.
A future fic that is very well told!

Harry seeks the help of Professor Amore (Draco Malfoy), who is a love advice columist at The Quibbler, to give a boost to his love life, but as usual, things aren’t always what they seem.
Dear Professor Amore,
What would you suggest for a person who wants nothing more than to have a relationship and settle down, but can't seem to find Mr. Right? My life is a tad unconventional and I've struggled with finding someone who can both tolerate living in the public eye and also not feel the need to exploit it for their own benefit. It's so hard to find a date when everyone seems to want something from you.

On two different sides of London, living their own lives and finally experiencing peace and even some happiness, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy begin to feel a little - empty. It's manageable at first, but after the emptiness come odd emotions striking at odd times, jeopardising work and friendships, and after odd emotions come urges and longings for something they can't find. Unable to find the piece they're missing and clueless as to what's making them this way, Harry and Draco experiment with different ways to solve their issues – but what if it's all connected?

Centuries ago, marriage contracts were the norm — ready-made alliances between families, expected and complied with, without complaint. But norms have a way of changing, and when a long-dormant contract flares to life, Harry has to navigate an unexpected splintering of the path he'd thought would be easy after the war... with Draco Malfoy.

Three years after what would have been their seventh year at Hogwarts, the war between the forces of light and Voldemort's minions grinds on. But even within the ranks of the Order of the Phoenix there are vast disagreements over what is good for 'the Chosen One' and his volatile relationship with Draco Malfoy has many on edge. Sometimes even the best intentions can reap disaster.
That's the author's summary but it does not even begin to do justice to this wonderful story. There's Percy bashing and bad Hermonie. I really did enjoy it and I think you will too.

After the Battle, Harry thinks he's left Hogwarts for good, but Minerva insists that all students return for an Eighth Year if they wish to sit for NEWTs in the spring, and Harry needs those NEWTs to go into the Aurors. Draco's just grateful not to be in Azkaban. Or the Manor. He's hoping he can steer clear of Potter this year and grapple with his own problems. Unfortunately for him, Potter appears to be one of those problems. And that's not even addressing the fact that Potter's got serious issues of his own, which Draco realises as he's forced to share an Eighth Year dormitory room and several classes with the Gryffindor Git. If only they can make it though the year without killing each other, it should be alright, shouldn't it?

In 2020, Hit Wizard Harry is starting to enjoy his life. He’s divorced, and no longer Head Auror. His biggest project these days is trying to remodel Number Twelve Grimmauld Place for him and the kids.
Draco Malfoy is recovering from his wife’s death. But is happy with his Ministry position as Temporary Head of the Department of Intoxicating Substances, and with his son who he adores.
This all changes quickly when Minister Shacklebolt decides not to run for another term. The assumption is that 'all is well' in the British Magical world, and that Hermione Granger-Weasley will easily be voted in as the next Minister for Magic. However, Draco knows better. He knows she has a strong competitor who is wooing those who live in Knockturn. And if he wins, the Ministry, and all that has been accomplished the previous twenty odd years, will be destroyed.

Harry wakes up with a headache, but that's the least of his troubles. After a midair collision with Draco Malfoy during a Quidditch match, the Boy Who Lived wakes up in a world where Ron and Hermione are married and Harry is romantically involved with Draco, or rather they're supposed to be involved. Harry and Draco decide not to tell anyone and play along with this future situation until they can figure out what happened ... and more importantly, how to get back.
This is the second story by BananaCosmicGirl that I'm recommending. The first was "The Depths of Winter."

The story starts on Harry's last day at Hogwarts. Everyone knew what was to come - the battle with Voldemort. Draco is injured in the war and loses his memory. He's forgotten his entire life, but remembers enough French to translate what they tell him his name is ... Mayfoy (French for bad faith or unfaithful). Is that an omen of what is to come?

For Harry and Draco, the dawn is long in coming. A series of pre-dawn meetings between Harry and Draco.
Harry wasn't sure what had drawn him out tonight, his last night at Hogwarts. He didn't think anyone had even noticed his departure from the Gryffindor common room, where the alcohol was flowing liberally and fueling a manic, almost desperate frenzy. Technically he wasn't even a student anymore—all the N.E.W.T.s were over, and at the Leaving Feast earlier tonight, Professor McGonagall had addressed the school with a grave solemnity the students had mirrored. Everyone knew what the moment signified. Everyone knew tomorrow brought more than merely a train ride home from Hogsmeade.

It's only a vague sense somewhere in his mind, but he figures it isn't that far off the mark, considering where he is: an old Ministry outpost, magicked and converted into a war hospital. They tell him he was wounded in battle. They tell him he was lucky not to be killed. They tell him his name is Malfoy. He has a good enough understanding of French to be able to translate the name, and its meaning doesn't seem a good omen. He's forgotten his entire life, but still has a facile grasp of the French language. How could it be a good omen?
That's how the story opens. Draco remembers nothing and he keeps getting these strange visits from this Auror named Potter. You will like this story!

This is one of the funniest stories I've ever read. I'm talking about 'fall out of the chair because you're laughing so hard' funny!
Harry cracked his knuckles. “What a pleasure, Lucius. I always wanted to be able to kill you again.”
“I’d be careful, Potter. There’s a whole new crop of enemies surrounding you now.”
“Funny.” Harry gestured at Lucius. “Blond, snobby, evil. They look the same to me.”
“Even now, your old friends are plotting your imminent demise.”
“Hey, when you’re stuck in a castle, you have to make your own fun.” Harry shrugged.
“They think you’re Voldemort, Harry.”
Harry just stared blankly at Lucius. “Why would they think that?”
“Because there are two of you.” Lucius smirked. “The boys who lived, so to speak.”
“Two of me?”
“Sit down, Potter.” Lucius sprawled elegantly in one of the armchairs near the fireplace.
“Shouldn’t you be stroking some kind of sinister cat?” Harry smirked as he settled onto the leather couch.
LOL! In an effort to create more house unity, Dumbledore has the house prefects show up at school early and has them switch houses! Harry and Hermione end up in Slytherin and, of course, Draco ends up in Griffindor. Add in some house mascots with some strange habits ... Snippy and Snarky, Slytherin House Mascots are a pair of snakes that constantly get into trouble ... Griff-Gruff, the Griffindor mascot ... Hazelheart, the weed smoking mascot of Hufflepuff ... and Rune, the Ravenclaw mascot ... and you end up with some pretty hilarious moments. Throw in a little romance between green eyes and grey eyes and you've got a great story!
NOTE from Snippy and Snarky - So, I know a lot of you have been waiting on the sequel to Trading Spaces. I apologize profusely for the delay. I have been working on an actual writing career with original pieces. At this point I have finished a novel and it is being shopped by agents!! For right now, that will continue to be my writing focus. Again, my apologies and sincerest love to all the fans of Trading Spaces!! I hope when I am published you will all be interested in reading my book!

A note from Saras Girl
This story contains some het, a lot of slash, some epilogue-friendly stuff and a lot of AU. It is vaguely inspired by the film ‘The Family Man’ but in reality, is a variation on a concept that is, quite frankly, well old. I implore you to just trust me and enjoy the story.
Saras Girl
That's the author's summary, but there is a whole lot more to it than that. Family man Harry Potter enjoys a life with his wife Ginny and their children, Al, James and Lily. After a late night of drinking gin with an old codger who Harry laments to about wondering what would have happened if he'd done things differently, Harry wakes up in an alternate universe where he has been married to Draco Malfoy for 17 years. Harry is gobsmacked, but he remembers the old man's last words. "Rule number one, tell no one. Rule number two, tell no one. Rule number three, send up red sparks if you need me." You gotta read this one!

Something happened in the hours after the final battle, after the evacuation of the living and the dead. As the last of the survivors left the castle, the castle itself turned its wounded back on them all. The loss of Hogwarts has been felt by their entire community. And it’s something that needs to be put right. Harry knows there’s nothing he can do to stop Hermione (war hero, historian, author of the reissued “Hogwarts: A History”) once she sets her mind to something. Even an extremely risky last-ditch effort to restore the ancient castle and lay its newest ghosts to rest. What he wasn’t counting on was her insistence that Draco Malfoy be part of the plan.

The title of the story refers to a scene in the first chapter, when Harry, again a champion in another Triwizard Tournament held in his seventh year, must rescue Draco from the Lake in the Second Task; he is struck by the image of underwater light reflecting off an unconscious Draco. From this point on, Harry sees Draco in a new light, so to speak.
Featuring an extremely depressed Harry in a war-torn wizarding world, about to get the shock of his life when he discovers that Draco Malfoy is slightly more important to him than he would have ever guessed. Including a very odd friendship, lots of angst, suspicions, conflicted loyalties, clueless Ron, on-the-warpath Hermione and two very messed-up boys.

This is a CLASSIC and the title of the first chapter does raise an eyebrow, "New Use for a Wand" where Harry is introduced to the wizard method of, ah, masturbation. LOL!
A word from Aidan Lynch
Surely, surely the constantly emphasized enmity between Harry and Draco implies that if ever Voldemort is to be completely vanquished, Harry is going to have to call on the resources not just of his own inner strength but on that of the widest possible circle of allies, and that alliance must surely have to include Draco, the son of a death-eater. How would Harry ever overcome the natural disgust he feels for Draco? And even if he could, how would he ever convince Ron and Hermione to think the same? I got to thinking, like loads of you - there is surely only one way that Harry and Draco can be reconciled, and that is if they are both prey to emotions that go beyond common sense and reason. Reason dictates that they can never be friends, but love of course is no respecter of such boundaries. As to how Harry keeps his friendship with Ron (somehow I don’t see Hermione being as much of a problem, despite Malfoy’s disgusting ‘Mudblood’ taunts), I have no idea: in the real world it is not often the case that inseparable boyhood friends can survive the coming out of one of them. I don’t know if Ron is strong enough. Time will tell. This story is sort of loosely set in the academic year after the conclusion of Goblet of Fire and the Triwiz debacle, when the characters are in the 15/16 age group.

After the war Draco Malfoy finds himself at the crossroads. He tries not to become a scapegoat for the overzealous DMLE, fulfill his duties as a Malfoy heir and struggles with his potion addiction.
And all this mess is because of Harry Potter, who cannot just let things be as they are, who wants to help and ends up stirring a doxies nest of problems.
Potter employs a legillimens, Elise Baelish, to help Draco win the trials. And, before you know it, their unofficial 8th year at Hogwarts turns into a dangerous game with rogue Death Eaters who still seek vengeance and the corruption within the Ministry of Magic.

When Harry Potter fires a deadly curse at his "arch-enemy", he has no idea what the curse does. He has no idea he will soon beg Draco Malfoy's forgiveness and try his best to atone. He has no idea that the ugly bathroom incident he would rather forget will tangle and bind their lives together with no chance of escape. Navigating a treacherous path between Dumbledore's lies and Voldemort's orders, Draco is trapped and considered to be dead by both sides of the Wizarding War. Against the Golden Trio's wishes, he joins them on the Horcrux hunt. Except that he has no idea what he is hunting for. This is a love-story, a fight-story, very much compliant to the 6th and 7th 'Harry Potter' books and yet, very, VERY different. Because this time - after the Sectumsempra incident - Harry visits Draco in the hospital wing and tries to apologise.

Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts to finish off his seventh year, but finds that it’s very different than the Hogwarts he once knew. He’s sharing a common room with all the other eighth year students, he’s no longer sure if he wants to become an Auror, his best friends are constantly off snogging, and his Potions partner, Draco Malfoy, is acting nothing like his usual bratty self.
Draco Malfoy wants nothing less than to go back to Hogwarts, but for his mother, he does it anyway. While he hopes he can hole up in his room and do nothing but homework for the year, he finds himself despising his terrible new wand, befriending an inexplicably odd Ravenclaw, secretly taking Muggle Studies classes, and willingly helping the Saviour of the Wizarding World himself, Harry Potter. It’s going to be a very interesting year.

Five years after leaving Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy has found his place in Wizarding society, as a young and promising wandmaker at the famous Ollivander's. He has a job that interests him, friends he likes, a comfortable home, and a routine that he sticks to. However, when he loses someone close to him, and faces from his past begin resurfacing, he realises that the balance he has carefully constructed in his life isn't as stable as he thought.
Harry Potter isn't quite sure what to do with himself. After throwing himself headfirst into everything he's ever done, he's dealing with a hell of a headache and confusion over where to go from here. His friends are busy, his work is relaxed, and no one seems to want anything from him anymore. Instead of feeling relieved, however, he feels adrift. With nothing to occupy him, his mind starts to wander, and he begins thinking more about the past, specifically people from his past...and conversations left unfinished.

This one was old, leather bound and extremely dusty. He sat back on his haunches and blew the dust off the cover so he could read the small lettering on it, causing himself to sneeze. He looked curiously at the name - "An Introductory to Fundamental Spell Battles? He stood, forgetting the other textbook that was still lying under the bookshelf, and headed over to one of the large, plush chairs to peruse his find. He had never heard of spell battles before. "I wonder if this has anything to do with wizarding duels?
As he scanned the pages his eyes began to get larger as realization hit him. This book dealt entirely with wandless magic. All the spells cast were done by the use of words and prose and a person?s innate magical ability. The first section dealt with how to bring that magical ability out so as to competently use it. The rest of the book focused on how to initiate a spell battle, how to do the different spells, how to word them and what hand signals to use. Draco was fascinated.

In the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco and Harry are both struggling to come to terms with the events of 'Deathly Hallows' and find their place in the new world. When they are unexpectedly thrown back into each other's lives, things go as well as you might expect. But Harry, like Dumbledore, believes in giving people second chances. He believes that everybody has a chance at redemption – including repentant Death Eaters.
If you remember, "we open at the close" was the clue Dumbledore left Harry in his will with the Golden Snitch. Harry kisses it on the way for his final meeting with Voldemort. It opens and inside is the Ressurection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows. Of course the other two were the invisibility cloak and the Elder Wand or the "death stick."

Once upon a time, wizard blood was mingled with that of wolves and a race of magical creatures known as Lycans was born. In the millennia since the race nearly died out, until Lycans have become little more than legends or fairytales. So imagine his surprise when, shortly after his 18th birthday, Draco Malfoy goes into heat! Draco now finds himself in the awkward position of being the only known Omega in the wizarding world. He wants to return to Hogwarts to finish his education, but that could pose a problem for a young man who floods every room he enters with pheromones, has a bad habit of dropping his trousers for any likely-looking man, and periodically goes into heat. And that's when there are no Alphas around to complicate matters. The only saving grace for Draco is that Alphas are even rarer than Omegas, and the chances of him running afoul of one at Hogwarts are virtually nil. Until Harry Potter turns up, that is.

They say there are no white horses—those that we think of as white are really just a faded deceitful gray. And if there are no white horses, certainly there are no true heroes who will come riding in on one to save us from all our pain.
After learning of the prophecy that will change his future, Harry returns to Hogwarts School for sixth year and finds that not everyone is who he thought they were. It seems that he is not. Definitely Draco Malfoy is not. As he tries to find a path to the end of his time at Hogwarts, he will have to grapple with questions of who to trust and who to love while navigating a world full of threats. This is a story of how we sometimes deceive ourselves and others, but hopefully find something true in the end.
A word from Jackie Stevens
All those years ago, I'd wanted to write a story about how defeating the Dark Lord wasn't really the end of the story. It had already seemed pretty obvious at the time that the seventh book would surely culminate in an epic battle between Harry and Voldemort, but as I waited for HBP to be released, I entertained myself (and some readers on Fiction Alley) with a different take on years 6 and 7, in which defeating Voldemort isn't the end of the story—it's just one small part. The whole thing is ridiculously off base now, since it was written before we knew anything about Horcruxes or the rest of it that came out post-OotP, and I clearly knew nothing about pacing or plotting. But when I googled the story out of nostalgic curiosity one night and found people still searching for a copy of it in 2020, I decided I might as well migrate it over and clean it up a bit. So here we go. A trip down memory lane, to the world of 1996 as imagined back in something like 2004, with a little sprinkling of 2021 dusted on top.
Jackie
Well written, excellent plot, beautiful descriptions, lots of emotion ... you'll enjoy this story! And be sure to check out Jackie Stevens' other story "Black Sheep".

Draco licked his lips, then said, “You weren’t all bad, no. Okay? Is that good enough? Can I please sleep now?”
But it wasn't enough, and Harry knew he'd have to find some other way to learn what the Old Harry was truly like.

A new Unforgivable is spreading like wildfire and only Harry Potter is immune to its power, and only he can soothe its effects. When Draco is hit by the curse and left for dead by his own side, a misguided sense of duty compels Harry to care for him, and in doing so, he learns more than he ever thought possible about nightmares, hatred, love, and above all, the true nature of forgiveness.
This is a pretty dark story and things go on in it that might make you uncomfortable. But I liked it.
Cinnamon has also written "Beneath You" and "Beautiful World" both of which are on this list. Those stories are online at AO3. Wind Fallen is not. I guess it's safe to say that I like the way she writes!

Harry doesn’t mind that so many Slytherins from his year have returned to finish their NEWTs, really he doesn’t. It’s just – do they have to be so friendly? He’s not prejudiced, really he’s not. It’s just – they’ve got to be up to something, right? Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him.
When he’s hit by an illegal love-spell though, Harry finds he has more to worry about than whether or not Blaise Zabini actually wants to be his friend. For if everyone affected has been blessed – or cursed, by the look on Malfoy’s face – with a magical tattoo revealing the name of their soulmate, what does it mean that Harry’s skin remains completely bare?

When they first meet after the end of the war, Draco doesn't want anything to do with Harry. But as time goes by, Draco's growing love may be the only thing that can save them both.
After a serious accident in the Forbidden Forest, Draco's personality begins to undergo subtle changes. At first, Harry credits this to a new enthusiasm for life. But as the days pass and Draco's behavior becomes more and more mysterious, Harry begins to suspect that something bigger--and darker--is at work.
Story moves back and forth between current action and flashbacks to the beginning of the relationship.

Some people think concepts like fate and destiny are romantic, but for Harry Potter, fate has always meant one thing: a swift kick in the arse. Why else would he cross an ocean to New York and enroll in Muggle university only to find Draco Malfoy living two doors down the hall? The universe and its twisted sense of humor can fuck right off.
A story in which two broken boys try to repair themselves halfway across the world. Too bad trauma doesn't care how far you run.
A word from dracoismytrashson
Okay... *whew*. We're finally here! This is a fic I wanted to write since last summer. I finally started it in November, and it's been a really meaningful journey for me. A lot of the themes in this story are things I dealt with at Harry's age, albeit under different circumstances, and it was really important to me to write this fic. It's angsty at turns, but, like life and youth, it's full of revelry and laughter too. It's a story about how progress is never a straight line, and sometimes you're not ready for the things that you wish you were. Sometimes things take time, and that's all right. We all go at our pace, and there's no failure in that. There's triumph and beauty in it.
