This book contains a few things that I should probably warn you for (in the first chapter you can find more warnings) : - It is obviously a boyxboy story so if you do not feel comfortable reading a story with a homosexual theme please do not read the story. - It will contain mental illnesses and I do not want you to read another word of this book if you know your sensitive for this kind of things. Your mental health is way too important to take any risks! - And last of all, the story will probably contain a lot of grammar mistakes. You see, English is not my first language and this is actually my first English written story so please do not hate me if I make any mistakes. I want to emphasize that I do not support the fact that some people are romanticizing mental ilnesses out there. This story does contain mental health issues but it is about showing you that you will always be able to find love and support, no matter what. 2nd place - TheCosmicAwards 2019/2020

After his third year at Hogwarts, life for Harry Potter got strange. He began to feel things differently, see things differently, and sometimes even hear things differently. More importantly, he began to see Draco Malfoy differently.

Convinced by Hermione to get a new pet, Harry goes to Magical Menagerie and finds it's now owned by Draco Malfoy who has changed since the war... in a good way, a really good way.

After defeating Voldemort in his seventh year, Harry, along with the other 7th year students, must return to Hogwarts to make up what they missed. In the process, unexpected events occur, including a very unexpected romance...

We were supposed to be enemies. I was supposed to loathe him with the entirety of my being and he was supposed to reciprocate. I was supposed to make his life a living hell and he was supposed to grin and bare it. We weren't supposed to fall in love. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I do not own any of the characters used in this story. They belong to JK Rowling, this is just a harmless fan fiction. Enjoy!
