"Do you trust me?" "With all my heart." ***** What if it WASN'T Ginny Weasley who sent Harry Potter a musical Valentine in his second year? What if a simple prank sparked a special friendship, or even something more? But the relationship is more fragile than glass, threatened by emotions, darkness and enemies drawing ever closer. Will it survive? Or will it shatter under the pressure of war? And let's not forget that Valentine's Day still comes around every year... ***** First published: 14/08/2014 Completed: 09/03/2020 Highest ranks: #38 in Fanfiction (20/12/2017) #13 in Drarry (23/02/2020) #215 in LGBT (12/06/2021) #1 in Harry (03/01/2022) #1 in Valentine (27/08/2020) #2 in Prank (19/01/2021) #4 in Angst (02/03/21) ***** "Love this chapter. Well, love any chapter. This book is amazing!" ~ @Rikke95 "THIS IS THE CUTEST AND MOST ADORABLE DRARRY FANFIC EVER! AND I REALLY LOVE HOW THIS ALL FITS TO THE ORIGINAL STORY! THANK YOU!" ~ @psychopathfangirl ***** I don't own Harry Potter, any characters, or the pictures on the cover, but this is MY story so I hope you will appreciate that and not replicate anything that doesn't already belong to JK. I will be taking aspects from the films AND the books, but not all events will be exactly the same nor in the right order to fit with my story. I can't promise regular updates - writer's block (a LOT!), social life (not so much), work (up to my ears), etc. Nevertheless, hope you enjoy! :-) OCCASIONAL TABOO LANGUAGE, MILD SEXUAL REFERENCES AND DARK THEMES - VIEW AT READER'S OWN DISCRETION

Draco Malfoy can't take it. Everything seems to be getting to his head. Waking up from nightmares in a cold sweat. Secrets and scars that he tried to hide for so long... ~ Harry Potter. The 'Golden Boy'. If only they knew what happens when no one's around. Some people are good at hiding their pain. He can't let anyone know after all... ~ What happens when you lose everything? Do you fall apart and drift away? Can anything repair their broken worlds? *Disclaimer* I do not own any of the characters created by JK Rowling from the Harry Potter series (obviously)

Hogwarts 8th year. This story is a slice of life, showing them grow out of the roles they were placed in while battling the ghosts of their past. Dealing, often poorly, with what life throws at them. Learning to be teenagers instead of soldiers. Very long character driven story.

Draco and Harry have been enemies since the first year but that all changes one day in the 7th year

"One night, Potter. That's all I want." Harry should have said no. Should have walked away. But when Draco Malfoy saves his life and names his price, refusing isn't an option. "No strings," Harry reminds him. Draco smirks. "Of course not." But magic binds deeper than promises, and when morning comes, neither of them can ignore the fire still burning between them. Because debts can be settled, but some things... some people... are impossible to forget.

"Potter! " he shouted at the top of his lungs, he hadn't heard the sound of his hoarse voice say anything with such emotion before. ~ "So sorry if I disappointed you, Potter, by not being the villain you thought I was, but I was never who you thought I was." ~ Draco Malfoy didn't want to become a death eater. He just wanted his life to go back to normal. But things can never go back to normal after the battle of Hogwarts. Based on what could have happened after the Battle of Hogwarts if Draco had decided to help out the chosen one (you know that scene they didn't put in the film where Draco throws Harry his wand !!) and they become friends and more. But the past is always there to haunt them, and always will be. Ships: drarry Maybe romione Characters belong to Jk Rowling

Harry Potter was returning to Hogwarts to complete his seventh year. But so was Draco Malfoy. What will happen when the boys are forced to share a room? Will the boys be able to trust each other with their darkest secrets, and will they be able to help each other? Okay, I suck at descriptions but I think you get the point. Warning ⚠️: mentions of depression, self-harm

For Draco it's all a game until one day when the boys gets stuck in a closet (no pun intended) and Harry has a panic attack. Harry Potter has been extremely scared of sounds and small spaces due to a abusing childhood. Draco starts picking up on clues to why Harry reacts like this. Especially after a unfinished memory potion was spilled during a lesson and the boy travel into Harry's mind.

In a hunger for house unity, the administration for Hogwarts decide on alphabetically ordering all returning "eighth" years into dorms - despite their original houses. There's odd arrangements, of course, but somehow Theodore Nott got stuck with Draco Malfoy, and Harry Potter. A tale of friendship, humour, acceptance, and love. And Theo bloody murdering everyone in sight, because if he has to hear one more "Potter" drawl, or another "Malfoy" hiss, he will definitely do it, without blinking, thank you very much. or in which nott gets stuck with two hot blokes who fancy each other, and he might as well set them up
