Draco turned on his heel and strode off down the corridor. Harry was left, in awe, watching him leave until he rounded a corner and disappeared from sight. Harry shuddered, the hairs on the back of his neck standing up. He told himself it was the draught in the corridor, but he knew, deep down, that it was because he could sense the potential of something great.
>>> An eighth-year!drarry au in which Draco uses the time after the war to make up with everyone he's treated wrongly in the past.

The Difference Between a Cat and a Comma (HP - Drarry)
Eighth year at Hogwarts is going to be boring. That's what Draco Malfoy thinks when the Wizengamot makes attendance a condition of his pardon. After all, after letting Death Eaters into the school, failing to kill his headmaster, and being forced to serve a homicidal madman, how could finishing up his education *possibly* be interesting? Answer: a coveted Transfigurations advanced study position, Minerva Mcgonagall's surprising fondness for him, thestrals, tea with Hagrid, tutoring Harry Potter, Granger and Weasley's excessive PDA, and the perplexing nature of sleight-of-hand double-dates with Harry, Luna, and Ginny. And then, of course, there's righteously indignant (if misinformed) Weasley, Draco's own insecurities and flair for dramatics, and a long-suffering Kingsley Shacklebolt. If I can work in tie-switching and Great Hall relationship reveal I will, because those are some of my very favorite tropes.Complete
Post-peace Chaos (Drarry)
"Correct me if I'm wrong, Harry- but did you, or did you not, stare at him across the seas of tables in the Great Hall, and always manage to find him in the uttermost impossible crowds?" "No." Harry seethed, his face flushed red. Yes. Ron continued on with evident glee on this face as if he hadn't heard him. "Did you, or did you not, constantly accidentally bump into him in corridors?" "No," Harry said firmly. Yes. Hermione was in fits of giggles now. It was obvious they had wanted to do this a long, long time ago. --- It was two years after the war, the Dark Lord was defeated. While the wizarding world finally went back to peace, Harry's life was in chaos- in a totally different way. ✧✧✧✧✧✧Complete

Haunted by guilt, grief, and ghosts that never sleep, Harry hides behind long sleeves, inked skin, and hollow eyes. He's a war hero no one dares approach-until Draco Malfoy does. Draco, who's just as broken. Just as tired. Just as seen. In a newly enchanted dorm tower where old rivals must live side by side, unexpected friendships bloom. Hermione and Pansy bond over firewhiskey and feminism. Ron and Blaise argue their way into something more. Dean and Seamus finally stop pretending. Luna and Ginny become everyone's light. Even Theodore Nott finds peace with Neville Longbottom. And somewhere in the middle of it all, Harry and Draco begin to heal. Together. But healing isn't linear-and some scars run deeper than anyone knows. 💔 Angst. Healing. Found family. Enemies to lovers. 💥 Slow-burn turned soft romance. 🖤 Trauma recovery, fierce loyalty, and the kind of love that stays.Complete

Ex-Friends || A Drarry Story
**UPDATES REGULARLY** •Includes Draco POV's, Silver and Golden Trios, all seven years •Mentions physical, emotional, and mental abuse (TW Warnings present) Cover made by @siriusblackisgreat ⚠️DISCLAIMER⚠️: All original characters owned by J.K. Rowling. The only characters I own are original characters I have created and the plot. Every year, without fail, Harry Potter went through terrible experiences at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But, with the help of his friends, he never fails to push through. When Harry first meets Draco Malfoy, he isn't sure if he likes him much but, through the years, he finds that he seems to like him more and more. More than he should. Draco Malfoy, as the sole heir of the Malfoy name and legacy, does his best to live up to his father's legacy. And that means keeping quite a few secrets from his family and friends. But, after his friends help him come to terms with those secrets, he can't keep them. Especially when the Dark Lord comes back to power and Draco is forced to take part in a war that could ruin everything.
Conflicted Loyalites
The Golden Trio have returned for their eighth year at Hogwarts in order to make up for the seventh year lost to the war. Old grudges are being reassessed, friendships are becoming tighter than ever. Harry is looking forward to this year, hoping that it will be different from the rest and free of danger. All he wants is a normal year at school. The war has thrown everything off track for Draco. New feelings have arisen within him, feelings he has kept locked away deep inside for years, feelings he'd hoped would go away and has only just begun to let in. His life has been destroyed by the events of the past few years of his life. What will he do in this final year? He never planned to survive the war, or to return to Hogwarts ever again. He is conflicted, torn between following the wishes of the parents who've all but abandoned him, or making his own path and doing as he wants for the first time in his life. Various headcanons will be integrated into this, you have been warned! Credit to JK Rowling. I do not own Harry Potter.
