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.

Love Thy Enemy// Drarry by Justeen_96

"It's one of the commandments after all Harry, love thy enemy." "I'm pretty sure that's not one of the commandments Ginny." "Oh whatever, he knows what I mean." ---- One final year at Hogwarts. That's all that stands in the way between Harry Potter and the rest of his life. Except, he's not even sure what he wants to do with the rest of his life. Hell, he hadn't even expected to live this long if he was being honest. But here he was, alive and well and completely unsure of himself. Everyone keeps telling him that he can relax now, have a normal life, but normal flew out the window the day he learned he was a wizard. Voldemort is gone, (for good this time) and Harry is struggling with his purpose, his fate, his future. The one thing that Harry thought he could count on, the one thing Harry actually considered a part of his normal life, was the constant arguments, high tensions, and general teasing that Draco Malfoy would inflict upon him. But even that's changed. Draco Malfoy is different. He's quiet, reserved. Harry's not sure what to make of the new Draco and when they're paired up as partners in potions, Harry is anything but excited. But as the two enemies talk, as they get to know one another, their relationship takes a turn. A turn that neither of them could have expected.

Falling Through the Cracks | Eighth Year by Destiel_067

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?

Is this love? [Drarry] by imttlsu

[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 <4

Claustrophobia by fangirlshavenolife

Trigger Warning: includes trauma, panic attacks and mentions of abuse. Do not read it if any of this makes you uncomfortable.

All the Light We Kept || Drarry by theSunnyDLite

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.

Uncomfortable Truths by pillywiggins76

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.

Eighth Year (Drarry Fanfic) by tee_gee

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.

Every Me, Every You by KrisBlack

The war has ended. The world returned to normal. Then they had to live in it. Five years after the war, Hermione Granger wears her survival like a badge and a bruise-polished, professional, and slowly vanishing beneath the weight of expectations. Marriage, career, public image: she plays the part. Even if it means losing the girl who once burned for justice. Draco Malfoy didn't ask for redemption, he only wanted to fade into obscurity. Become the man everyone expected of him and forget the rest. When Hermione walks back into his world, she isn't the girl he remembers. And he's no one's villain anymore. What begins as a reckless mistake turns into something messier-full of jagged wounds, softened edges, and the parts they swore they'd bury. This is a slow-burn, character-driven exploration of trauma, power, and what it means to want something real in the aftermath of survival. Dramione, but raw and human. Eventual HEA.

Praying For Change by BlackRose779

It was scary, in Draco's opinion, how quickly things could change. One moment he's in his room, praying to whatever higher power to be left alone for once, the next, he's sitting in Uncle Severus' dinning room, having dinner across from his childhood enemy. To Harry, change is a dream come true. All his life he's prayed for change. But when he gets it, it's not exactly what he had in mind. × NOT a Drarry fic, Draco and Harry are going to be foster brothers and will eventually develop a brotherly bond.

The Day After Tomorrow by paperbark

Harry saw Malfoy roll his eyes in exasperation. ''I'm not going to Kedava you dead Potter, calm down.'' He said nothing as Malfoy gathered his thoughts. ''I'm trying to...you see... what's up with Granger?'' Harry felt himself recoil as is pushed. What right did Malfoy, out of everyone, have to talk about Hermione. Malfoy squared his shoulders ready for a blow, his jaw tight, visibly holding back his true words when he spoke. ''She's not well.'' Cover by @paperbark

You & I [Draco/Harry] by huffIIepcff

"It's warmer where you are and safer by your side." Four years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter are now happily engaged and working at the Ministry of Magic as an Auror and Healer. Living in muggle London, not too far from Hermione and Ron who were now married, their lives were finally working for the better and they couldn't be happier. 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.
