Harry and friends are returning to Hogwarts for an 8th year to complete their studies, but the last person he expected to return was Draco Malfoy. Can he put their old rivalry behind them and start anew?
Draco has been dealing with his own struggles since the war, and finds himself in a very dark place when Harry Potter, of all people, comes back into his life. Can he offer what Draco desperately needs - a friend, or maybe more?
This is the story of two boys working through old bitterness, sexuality, mental health, and new foes amidst the end of the war and their return to Hogwarts.
Author's Note:
This is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, with a lot of angst but a decent amount of fluff too, more of a plot than just the romance and a happy ending (trust me). Relationships are Harry x Draco, Ron x Hermione, and Pansy x Blaise. Updates will be regular because it's all already written out, and I will be publishing on AO3 at the same under the same name. There is also a playlist associated with the fic and a song for each chapter, so please check that out as well (link will be at the start of the first chapter). This is my first fanfic so all support is appreciated!

I Swear This Time I Mean It ✔️
An 8th year Drarry fic where Harry barely speaks anymore, but Draco doesn't need words to understand him. After spending the summer together and beginning their relationship, it's time for Harry and Draco to transition back to Hogwarts. Both men know continuing their relationship isn't going to be easy, but nothing good ever is. Can they keep their relationship hidden from not only their friends, but the wizarding world as a whole until they're ready to come out? Can they, along with their friends, end house prejudices for good, and finally unite Hogwarts? Sequel to my story Ghosts, but my goal is that this can be read as a stand alone book. You'll just miss Harry and Draco becoming friends, as well as the start of their relationship. The cover art was done by @/sashaelfel on instagram. I don't own the rights to Harry Potter or any aspects of the movies/stories, however I do own the rights to all ideas that I have come up with. My work is my own, please do not post it anywhere else.

Happily Ever...
Harry Potter is returning to Hogwarts for his eighth year so he can finish his NEWTs, but all the guilt of his past makes everything harder. Hermione and Ron, now together, help to make sure he gets through the year. Draco Malfoy's return to Hogwarts seems unwelcomed by some. Especially since his family avoided Azkaban. His friends Blaise and Pansy are the only thing keeping him there. With a little push from Hermione, the two groups become unlikely friends. But Draco and Harry begin to drift towards each other, what lies in wait for the two boys? This is a Drarry fanfiction. So if that's not what you're in to, read it anyway cause you might like it and I worked really hard on it. TW: Mentions of self harm, depression, PTSD, and anxietyComplete
Memories of Us
Harry Potter is an Auror. He and his boyfriend, Draco Malfoy, live together. Harry gets injured on the job, and Draco is not handling it very well. Harry's stuck in a magically-induced coma in order to make sure he doesn't worsen his condition. Draco is reminiscing on his positive memories with the boy who he's terrified he's going to lose. XxXxXxX A fluffy Drarry fanfic. There is no smut (sorry). This is my first completed fic. They will get better I promise. This one doesn't follow a very strict plot. It is more Draco looking back on good times. Please enjoy and know that I'm still learning! Thanks!

Scared, Potter?(old, but current vers)
-I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING HARRY POTTER NOR DO I OWN THE CHARACTERS- A lonely Harry Potter at his first week back to Hogwarts without Hermione or Ron has been quite difficult. He's been hanging out with Luna and Neville only to find himself questioning Luna's relationship with Draco Malfoy.. Despite all their awkward interactions Harry and Draco try to remain civil for Luna's sake..which possibly leads to something more? This being my first drarry fanfic I'm excited to see how it turns out
LABYRINTH of HEARTS (DRARRY Romance)
Headcanon Premise: Harry and Draco were always in love or at least attracted to each other, even during (and partly because) of Draco's bullying. This story is 99% canon-compliant and fits in as supplemental material for the original books. Toxic love story with a happy ending. Hogwarts Years 1 - 8 ⚠️Hogwarts Era smut⚠️ [Available also on AO3 and FF] WIP Status: Letters and Foreword were revised; Year 8 is being prepared. This is a Harry/Draco romance set in the canon HP universe, covering all seven years of schooling as a series of Memory Vials. This fic is presented more like Deleted Scenes than a Rewrite, following the plot of their romance instead of Harry's quest to defeat Voldemort. Everyone is mostly in character (hopefully), and Draco is the troubled little shit you know and love but with more dimension added to his character. A movie depiction might be preferred in my version, but it's recommended you read along with the original books to avoid loss of context, unless you read them already, which should be enough. This fic is roughly 99% canon compliant, while allowing for artistic license and changes here and there, also scrapping the original epilogue. Content Warning: language, smut, mature themes and situations, alcohol/substance use, homophobic bullying and harassment, conversion therapy, morally ambiguous situations, tactical omniscient head-hopping, and pretentious poetry. I'm American, so expect accidental Americanisms and ignorant mistakes, but I did my best to use some British-English.![The Strangest of Places [REUPLOAD] - D.M x Reader](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/367563020-256-k733289.jpg)

For his family's involvement in the war, Draco attends school feeling alienated and resented, spending most of his time alone and suffering his guilt in silence.

Text Fic Drarry (En) - Saving the enemy
Text fic. Takes place after the war, Draco and Harry return to Hogwarts for their eight year and start texting each other. Or the story where they're helping each other without knowing it and fall in love in the process. Readers, be warned, there will surely be mention of heavy subject, like self-harm or suicidal thoughts, also it will no be that present as there'll be more humour than anything. Honestly, they mostly get to know each other and they're teasing, becoming friends, sometimes flirting.. I must say that English isn't my first language so I apologize for my spelling mistakes as I'm sure there will be a lot. Also, the universe and characters belong to J.K. Rowling, the story is mine. Thank you if you decide reading me, and don't hesitate to correct me, I'll appreciate all the help and comment you'll be willing to give me !Complete
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
