Hogwarts will never be the same after the mass destruction of May 2,1998. Lives have been lost and trauma has been imbedded in many's minds. The castle went under reconstruction over the summer and students will be returning, not to learn but to rehabilitate.
Death eaters have been thrown into Azkaban left and right along with many being executed. Few are being left on probation, like the students who also happened to be death eaters. The thing that keeps them out of Azkaban is going to therapy at least twice a week, more if needed and writing in a journal.
The school has been divided, even after war. It's the Slytherin house against pretty much all humanity is what it feels like.
What makes this story so interesting is a slow burning love story between him, himself Harry Potter and Cordelia Burke. What makes it slow burning is Cordelia is an ex-death eater and is currently tangled in an arranged marriage with the Draco Malfoy.
I give credits to Onyx_and_Elms story "Battle scars/ breath mints." for lots of the plots ideas.

The philosopher's stone
This story is for the emotionally damaged who never recovered from Cedric Diggory, the Draco Malfoy apologists, and the delusional few who thought they could fix him - or at least gaslight him into falling in love. This isn't a rewrite. It's a reboot with better plot twists, new characters, and less "Why are we still talking about Harry?" If you've ever whispered "it could've been more," you were right. And this is it. 🦁🪄💋Complete
Velvet Sin
In the dim glow of the Slytherin dungeons, Katherine Salvatore learned that power and desire often speak the same language. She lived for control - sharp-tongued, beautiful, untouchable - until Draco Malfoy made her want to be touched. Their love is a secret stitched from ambition, fire, and whispered promises in the dark. He calls her his serpent queen. She calls him her undoing. Together, they are everything the world warns against: too proud, too dangerous, too consumed by each other. But on the night of their wedding, the weight of legacy threatens to tear them apart - ancient names, bloodlines, and family vows demanding obedience over love. Torn between the love that shaped her and the one that owns her, Katherine must choose which sin to keep: desire... or deception. Because in a world of pureblood politics, power games, and whispered temptation - love is the most dangerous curse of all. A/N:THIS BOOK IS A SLOW BURN!!

Affliction [James PotterxOC]
Ophelina Averinton bound by duty, burdened by power, and chained to a fate she cannot escape. James Potter is wild, reckless, destined for a war she was meant to fight. Their paths should have never crossed, yet fate binds them through love, betrayal, and pain. No matter how far they drift, they are pulled back together, even when the world fights to keep them apart. Like fire and water- forces that should never touch, for they are destined to clash. Yet when the fire blazes too fiercely, it craves the cool embrace of water to soothe its rage. And when the water grows too cold, frozen and still, it longs for the warmth of fire to reignite its flow. In their contrast, they are both the destruction and salvation of each other.

Heal My Heart🤍
Heal My Heart Summary: After the war, Draco Malfoy's name was dragged through the mud, but one person refused to let him drown in it - Harry Potter. When Harry defended Draco at his trial, freeing him from Azkaban and giving him a second chance, Draco did what he thought was best - he left Britain, escaping the whispers, the pity, and the ghosts of a life he never truly lived. Four years later, he returns - no longer the sneering boy from Hogwarts, but a brilliant Healer from France, quietly dedicated to mending what others have broken. But St. Mungo's is not kind to ghosts of the past, and neither are the people who still see the Mark on his arm instead of the man beneath it. What Draco doesn't realize is that his quiet courage has not gone unnoticed. Harry, now a respected Auror and just as reckless with his heart as he ever was, has been keeping an eye on him - not out of guilt, but because the man Draco has become is someone Harry can't stop thinking about. When a case at the Ministry forces the Auror and the Healer to work together, old wounds resurface, and new emotions begin to bloom. Between laughter in the hospital corridors, late-night tea in the Auror Office, and the quiet healing of two scarred souls, Harry and Draco will have to decide - is it possible to rebuild a life from the ruins of war? Or perhaps... to heal a heart that's never truly stopped bleeding? --- (All the copyright of the Harry Potter Characters belong to J.K Rowling) (The images used aren't mine, They're taken from Pinterest.

Fate's Reluctant Lovers
The War had ended. All the Death Eaters, including Lucius Malfoy , more or less had been locked up in Azkaban. Voldemort had been killed by the one and only-the boy who lived twice. After the war, they all went their separate ways, living among Muggles and discovering the surprising aspects of their world. For example-washing machines, microwaves, TVs, video games, and mobile phones. After Hogwarts was repaired, all students were invited back to complete their schooling, including the new eighth-year students. Everything had returned to normal-except for one thing. Or rather, one person. The person who had changed sides at the peak of the great war. The same person who, along with his mother, had disappeared the moment they were cleared of all charges-only keeping in touch through sporadic Instagram updates, as ordered by the Ministry. What changes would he behold and what would happen when he chanced upon a certain someone accidently?Complete
