In the aftermath of Voldemort's death the Ministry of Magic struggles to maintain order. Kingsley Shackleboldt, Minister of Magic, is forced to instate the graduating class of Hogwarts as Aurors despite the lack of coherent education in their 7th year. In order to quell the uproar of nervous conservatives he introduces a plan. The new Aurors will work in partnerships to ensure safety. 

However, there are two boys that the conservatives still don't trust. Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter. Draco for his involvement with the Dark Lord. And Harry for his past rebellions against the system of the Ministry. 

The two boys find themselves forced to work together to neutralize the suspicions of the public. Then they are given a task that might test them to their breaking point. They must find Fenir Grayback and bring him back to the Ministry alive. 

As the trail heats up carefully crafted facades begin to crack and Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy start to wonder if they really even know each other at all. 

They've grown up together, but is it possible to become closer in their eighth year than all seven leading up to it?

A Malfoy by midwestwriterael

Draco Malfoy and Emma Dawlish attend Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Emma is almost always a straight A student and she is forced to work with Draco Malfoy to get his grades up. They become friends and their own friends try to keep them from each other, which fails. "Draco, Don't" is Emma's key saying. It represents good and bad. After the war, the teens have to go back to school for another year. When Draco runs away from his home, he wants to stay in the shadows at school. Emma already knew part of the real Malfoy, can she unlock the rest of it? What happens when she starts to fall for A Malfoy? *********** "I'm not the good guy." "I didn't say you were," I wanted to say something to comfort him. "I just said I know you aren't the bad guy." Draco only laughed and hid his head in his hands. "Dawlish, you can't fix the world." "But I can try." I replied steadily, looking at the guy I have known for six and a half years. "And I will try, Draco."

--My "best friend" Malfoy-- by slytherco21

#1 [BOOK ONE] She's got a fiery temper and the typical Slytherin bad attitude, a perfect match for her absolute best friend and partner in crime - Draco Malfoy. ~ Seren Selwyn knows just what it means to have a future laid out for her and an intimidating parent breathing down her neck. She knows what it's like to exist in a world that would rather you didn't, in a world that believes you are the villain. So maybe it's the fact that he's always loved her, that makes her feel like she can take on that same world with flames and steel. Maybe it's the fact that they live in the darkness together that makes it's all vanquishable. Because without him, would she even be the same? Without him - would her demons be victorious? She'll never know, because Draco Malfoy vows to be by her side forever. ⭐︎ He didn't know he was going to fall for her, she is his best friend in all of the world. But when he fell, he fell hard. Every aspect of his life - dominated by the existence of this girl. Friendship became a crush, a crush became love, love became insatiable desire. Draco Malfoy isn't often denied what he wants, but for her he'd give up the world. "I more than love you, Seren Selwyn. I live for you." ___ In a changing, terrifying world that seems to expect more and more from them - will their love be enough to survive it? ~~They've been best friends since Day One of Hogwarts, but do best friends love each other the way they do?~~ Starts off in first year and carries out through the years - UNDERGOING HEAVY REWRITE. Slow burn. Some smut in later years, mainly fluff when they're younger :)

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.
