The summer before second year, Harry Potter is starving. For food, yes, but also for answers, for safety, for something like family. A warning from a house-elf throws his world off-balance, and a quiet gift at Christmas may change it forever. Draco Malfoy has always known where his loyalties lie. But when his father starts whispering about the Dark Lord again, and Harry Potter's eyes look too tired for a twelve-year-old, things start to shift. Especially when Draco realises he's not as good at hating Harry as he used to be. ((A rewrite of Chamber of Secrets with found family themes, soft Weasleys, a conflicted Draco, and a Harry who's learning what it means to be wanted. Slow burn. Slow healing. No Basilisk is as scary as growing up.))

Harry Potter never asked to be special. He only wanted to escape the cupboard, the bruises, and the unbearable abuse he faced with his family. But when a stranger arrives and tells him he's a wizard- and a famous one at that- Harry is thrust into a world of magic and mystery. At Hogwarts, nothing is as simple as it seems. The spells are dazzling, the friendships are fragile, and the sharp tongued, blonde haired Slytherin boy is infuriating. But sometimes, the people who seem like your enemies are the only ones who see you clearly. ((This is a Drarry rewrite of HP! Extreme slow burn!)) Book 1: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
