There are always more sides to a story.
Draco Malfoy has an unspoken truth that no one is willing to hear. Yes, he was a fully-alleged death eater but what if he said that it wasn't his choice? What if he said that he didn't want to be a Malfoy? No one would believe him though, who would ever believe that Draco Malfoy - bully extraordinaire - was actually a boy wearing a mask? Braving through months in Azkaban (after an illegal trial), Draco finally has a chance to set things right through his 7th year at Hogwarts.
Harry Potter has always thought that after the war, he could lead a normal life. Of course, this is Harry Potter we are talking about and the author would never let that happen! All students that missed their previous year at Hogwarts was invited to come back to finish their studies. Apparently, there are more problems then ever since Voldemort has been defeated and it's up to Harry (yet again) to solve them.
Time for another year at Hogwarts!

Rating: PG-13 Pairing: HP/DM Disclaimer: "Harry Potter" and all the characters belong to J.K. Rowling; I do not own it. A/N: This is my very first fan-fiction ever, which I wrote way back in 2004, so the 6th and 7th books did not yet exist, and that is why certain things are different from the canon in this story. I have touched it up a bit and corrected some mistakes that had been made, but other than that I have decided to keep the story in its original state, since this is how 19-year-old me wanted it written. Thank you so much for reading it, I hope you have enjoyed it! Have a lovely day! ^^ /Pipe.Complete

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.

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
Wandering Stars | Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
In their third year at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy's life takes an unexpected turn as he grapples with the struggles of ADHD. His once-sturdy control slips as distractions haunt his every class, his thoughts constantly shifting from one thing to another. Though he tries to hide it, the chaos in his mind begins to affect his schoolwork, his relationships, and his carefully curated image of a perfect Slytherin. Harry Potter, never one to shy away from a mystery, starts noticing the subtle signs-Draco's abrupt changes in mood, his difficulty focusing, and the way he seems to be at war with his own mind. The two boys, whose rivalry has always been fierce, begin to navigate uncharted territory as Harry offers Draco unexpected support. In the process, Harry finds himself learning more about Draco's vulnerabilities-and maybe even more about himself-than he ever thought possible. As their friendship deepens, their dynamic shifts from hostile to something new, a bond that forces both boys to confront their own fears, insecurities, and the lines between rivalry and affection. Set against the backdrop of the growing mystery surrounding Sirius Black's escape from Azkaban, Harry and Draco find that sometimes the greatest challenges are not the ones you face on the outside, but the ones inside your own head.Complete
