Harry understands. He understands everything.
He understands the war, he understands the pressure, he understands the weight of the world that seemed to always rest on his shoulders, he understands having whispers follow him around everywhere he goes.
Harry understands.
And that is the exactly the person Draco needs. He's at the edge of a cliff, and Draco needs someone who can pull him back to level ground. He needs a friend. But maybe he finds something more than a friend.

Hailey Groves never expected her sixth year at Hogwarts to be anything but ordinary. A Slytherin with sharp wit and loyal friends, she was used to navigating the complexities of Hogwarts life. But something about this year felt different. Off. Like something was waiting in the shadows-something she couldn't yet name. Then Draco Malfoy noticed her. He'd spent years keeping his distance, throwing jabs and cold stares. But now he was watching her differently-like he saw something familiar. Something fractured. Her friends said he was dangerous. But Hailey knew better. She saw through the mask: a boy who was protecting his life but losing his mind, who moved like survival was his only option. A boy who'd been forced into darkness before he understood its cost. And Hailey? She wasn't afraid of it. She stepped into it willingly, determined to help him carry the weight. Draco had secrets. But so did Hailey. And when the truth about her mother's death begins to unravel-when the web of lies surrounding her bloodline is finally exposed-Hailey must decide how deep she's willing to go for answers... and whether love is enough to keep her above water. Trigger warnings: depression, death, violence, alcohol, self harm, and attempt of suicide. (This is my first fanfic, so please be kind! And don't get scared by how many chapters there are. The first chapters are really short and then they get much longer.) Most characters belong to J. K. RowlingComplete

Star Quality [drarry]
Two years after the war, and Harry's content with his life. OK, so it's a little annoying that he keeps winning Witch Weekly's Most Eligible Bachelor award, and he's really not looking forward to the unveiling of an enormous gold statue of himself, but he loves his friends, and he loves being an Auror. And if he yearns for something more, something he can barely bring himself to think about, well, he'll probably get over it. No one's happy all the time, are they? But then everything changes, and Harry's thrown into a new and dazzling world he's not sure he can actually escape from. And as time goes on, he starts to wonder: does he actually want to?
