DRARRY oneshots

In The Dark

The war had ended, but the scars it left behind were deep. Hogwarts lay in ruins, its halls echoing with the whispers of the past. Among the rubble, Draco Malfoy wandered, his heart heavy with regret.

He had been on the wrong side of the war, he knew that now. His actions had caused so much pain and suffering, and he didn't know if he could ever make amends.

As he walked through the deserted corridors, Draco heard a noise behind him. He turned, his wand at the ready, only to find Harry Potter standing there, his expression unreadable.

"What are you doing here, Malfoy?" Harry asked, his voice cold.

Draco lowered his wand, his eyes downcast. "I...I don't know. I needed to see...to see what I had done."

Harry studied him for a moment, then sighed. "I understand. I needed to do the same."

They walked in silence for a while, each lost in their own thoughts. Finally, Harry spoke again. "Do you ever think about what could have been? If things had been different?"

Draco nodded. "Every day. I wish...I wish I had been brave enough to stand up to my father, to choose a different path."

Harry placed a hand on Draco's shoulder. "It's never too late to change, Draco. You can still make a difference, make amends for the past."

Draco looked up at him, his eyes filled with uncertainty. "Do you really believe that?"

Harry smiled sadly. "I do. I've seen the good in you, Draco. I know you have it in you to change."

They stood there for a moment, the weight of their pasts heavy upon them. But then Draco felt a glimmer of hope, a belief that maybe, just maybe, he could find redemption.

As they walked through the castle, Harry showed Draco the places that held the most meaning for him—the Gryffindor common room, the Quidditch pitch, the Room of Requirement. Draco listened, his heart aching for the childhood he had never had, the friendships he had pushed away.

Finally, they reached the Astronomy Tower, where Dumbledore had fallen so many years ago. Draco looked out at the starry sky, his mind filled with memories of that fateful night.

"I'm sorry, Harry," he said softly. "For everything."

Harry placed a hand on his shoulder. "It's okay, Draco. We all make mistakes. What's important is that we learn from them."

They stood there for a while longer, watching the stars twinkle in the night sky. And in that moment, Draco knew that he had been given a second chance, a chance to make things right.

From that day on, Draco worked tirelessly to undo the damage he had caused. He helped rebuild Hogwarts, using his family's wealth to fund the repairs. He reached out to those he had wronged, offering apologies and asking for forgiveness.

And slowly, but surely, he began to earn the trust and respect of those around him. Harry stood by his side, offering support and guidance, and together they forged a new path—one of redemption and hope.

As the years passed, Draco and Harry grew closer, their bond deepening into something neither of them had expected. They found solace in each other's arms, strength in each other's love.

And as they stood together on the grounds of Hogwarts, watching the sun set behind the castle, Draco knew that he had finally found his place in the world—by Harry's side.
