One year after Harry defeated Voldemort at the Battle of Hogwarts, he still has no idea what to do with his life. He's been living at No. 12 Grimmauld Place with Hermione and Ron, but they've spent the past few months on an extended stay in Australia to try and restore Hermione's parents' memories. Alone, he feels set adrift. Everyone else is focused on enjoying their summer before Hogwarts reopens (after a one year rebuilding period), but without Ron and Hermione, Harry doesn't know if he can go back. Everything changes when the Malfoys dramatically re-enter his life, and together they learn to live again.

All the Light We Kept || Drarry
After the Battle of Hogwarts, peace proves harder to find than victory ever was. Harry Potter returns to finish his final year, haunted by the ghosts of war. Draco Malfoy comes back, too; not seeking redemption, but the chance to breathe again. Between sleepless nights, quiet corridors, and unexpected kindness, two boys who once stood on opposite sides of a war begin to rebuild what the world nearly broke. What begins as wary civility becomes friendship, then something more,.. something worth fighting for, even in peacetime. Years will pass,.. friends will marry, families will grow, and the world will heal,.. but some stories never really end. This is theirs: a story not of war, but of what comes after; forgiveness, love, and the life that blooms in the quiet.

Is this love? [Drarry]
[Post war] Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter, swore enemies, right? That's what everyone thought, but war changes people. It makes their hearts shift. When Draco finds himself catching feelings for the-boy-who-lived-twice what can he do? !!!TW!!! PTSD, depression, mentions of self-harm and abuse. I WILL PUT WARNINGS AT BEGINNING OF CHAPTERS WITH ANY SENSITIVE TOPICS. If you are uncomfortable reading on any of these topics, do not read this. Everyone's safety is more important to me than a couple of reads. I LOVE YOU ALL <4Complete
Falling Through the Cracks | Eighth Year
In their eighth year at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy is quietly unraveling. Plagued by crippling depression and anxiety, he battles the weight of his past-his family's betrayal, his role in the war, and the shadows that never seem to fade. Harry Potter, on the other hand, is haunted by the lingering effects of his PTSD, the scars of war still fresh in his mind. Together, they're two broken souls, struggling to function in a world that's moved on without them. When their paths cross once more, a fragile understanding forms between them, each sensing the other's pain. As they grow closer, they find that they might be the only ones who truly understand what the other is going through. Through quiet nights of vulnerability and shared silence, they begin the slow, painful process of healing, learning that sometimes, being broken doesn't mean you can't fix each other. But the road to recovery is never easy, and the shadows of their pasts threaten to tear them apart. Can love be the thing that saves them both? Or will they fall apart before they can ever truly come together?Complete![You & I [Draco/Harry]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/163804108-256-k659208.jpg)

But, even after four years, Harry still deals with the guilt that comes along with all those he cared about dying that day at Hogwarts. Not to mention, Draco's refusal to talk about it with him. They both suffer trauma from the war and while working out details for their wedding, working at the Ministry, and the looming thoughts about Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy living back in Malfoy Manor, things cause more trouble than wanted.

Eighth Year (Drarry Fanfic)
The survivors of the Second Wizarding War return to Hogwarts after a summer of rebuilding and healing. Harry had been offered a position for Auror Training, which he quickly declined in favor of one final year with his friends at Hogwarts. He hoped that the year would bring nothing but normalcy and quiet as he begins to move on. Draco had been pardoned after Harry Potter testified in his and his mother's defense during the Trials. He had been released from Azkaban on the condition that he return to Hogwarts and complete his final year. It would serve as part of his probation. With his father awaiting the Kiss and his mother a permanent prisoner in their own home, Draco struggles to find himself as he picks up the pieces of his life. This chronicles their Eighth and Final Year at Hogwarts. *I don't own Harry Potter. All rights belong to JK Rowling. This is a fan-fiction.
