just an online crush - 𝔻ℝ𝔸ℝℝ𝕐 by phififo

《 c o m p l e t e d 》 One late afternoon, after plotting with Pansy, Hermione and Ron decided to steal Harry's phone and change most of his contacts' name. That included Draco's. Harry starts to trust and confide in the contact renamed 'Prince'. However, Harry soon realises that 'Prince' has a crush and Draco was starting to catch Harry's attention. Story is both in text and story form, but mostly story form ----- This story takes place after the Wizarding War, 8th years had to return to rebuild the school and retake their NEWTs. Snape is magically alive because he faked his death, let's go with that. Also contains many inaccuracies that does not match up with the original books '･ᴗ･' The starting sucks, but it slowly improves :) (hopefully) *TRIGGER WARNING* Some parts may include suicidal thoughts, suicide, cutting and strong language. Viewer discretion is advised. Disclaimer: I do NOT own any of the characters. All characters belong to J. K. Rowling from her Harry Potter series. ----- Highest ranking: #1 - dracoxharry ( 04/07/20 - 08/07/20 ) #1 - drarry ( 10/07/20, 04/08/20 ) #1 - lgbt ( 07/08/20 - 08/08/20 ) #1 - lgbtq ( 07/08/20 - 08/08/20 ) #2 - harrypotter ( 15/08/20 )

Written in the Stars | A Draco Malfoy Fanfiction by alicewonder26

TW: mentions of abuse You know the story of the boy who lived, but do you know the story of the boy who had no choice and the girl who loved him? Their story is one that's written in the stars and it's a long one, but we need to start at the beginning. Allison is a muggle-born girl from Canada who decides to leave Ilvermorny during her third year to start her education at Hogwarts. Draco is a pure-blood boy ready to start his third year at Hogwarts. She didn't expect to meet the infuriatingly handsome Draco Malfoy and he didn't expect to meet the blatantly honest Allison Whitley, who he likes to refer to as Ravenclaw. They both didn't plan on becoming friends, but Allison's friends have different plans. In the hopes of proving Draco Malfoy wrong about muggle-borns, Allison is forced to become friends with Draco, but she never planned it would become more than friendship. This book is told in dual perspective (Allison Whitley and Draco Malfoy) and follows the events of Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix. All characters belong to J.K. Rowling except for Allison Whitley, Victoria Whitley, Ernest Whitley, Marie Corner, Irene Corner, Ed Floyd, Alyssa Ford, Leila Chausson, Sasha Alexova, Sergei Pacuraru, Adrian Rush, and Walter Young

Endgame - A Drarry Fanfic (Harry Potter x Draco Malfoy) by wonderland_batgirl

After being married for 20 years, Harry Potter finally admits to Ginny and himself what he's always sort of known: he's gay. He starts to see Draco in a different light, but nothing is ever easy for 'The Boy Who Lived': the war has left him scarred. Harry's name is all over the news again as people try to figure out why he and Ginny divorced. He doesn't know how to tell his children that he's gay and ends up distancing himself from them. He places his trust in Draco, but will that turn out to be a mistake? Takes place after all the books and Cursed Child (only a few small things have changed like some side couples and Hermione didn't become Minister). Spoilers for all 7 books. TRIGGER WARNINGS: depression, PTSD, suicide (these warnings are labeled at the beginning of chapters), (some) profanity and sexual content (PG-13). I do not own Harry Potter, any of its characters or any images. All writing, however, is my own. COMPLETED Word Count: ~35,000

When the Snow Melts by OpalRainDragon

[COMPLETE] How can love blossom in the midst of hatred? How can it catch you so suddenly and unexpectedly? Draco's 6th year was not at all going how he had planned. But a friendship, a relationship with Harry? That was definitely not something he saw coming. Warnings: DracoxHarry. Established RonxHermione. M/M M/F Sexual Content, Violence, Torture, Rape, Substance Abuse, Suicidal Ideation, just a lot of dark and unsavory shit really. You have been warned.

(Drarry) Faking My Own Death by Chase_fanfics

Draco had dealt with enough death to make peace with his own. Getting a handle on his emo angst, he assumed his life would end after Dumbledore's murder. He didn't expect to keep living. He didn't expect to find something, someone left living for. He didn't expect to reach out to Harry Potter for help. Even more so, Draco didn't expect to fall in love with him in doing so. This is a slow-burn romance and redemption Drarry fic written by a touch-starved queer person with a newly rekindled love for Paramore and MCR. Enemies-to-lovers always hits different when 'Playing God' is in the soundtrack! Get ready for Draco 'overthinking is my therapy' Malfoy, Harry 'not settling for less' Potter, nonbinary Hermione, and supportive best friend Ron, with appearances of 'awkward big brother' Bill and other notable Weasleys. Explicit consent and content warnings are important to me. This fic is mostly a safe space, with warnings added to relevant chapters (there's no SA/abuse in general). Yet, if anxious/angsty overthinking isn't your thing, maybe just skip this entire fic. (This book contains sexual content and strong language, so mature audiences only.) Chapters 1-45 have been edited in February 2022 for more consistent paragraph etiquette. All later chapters have this editing done before posting. Bonus chapters still yet to be edited.

Obliviated [Drarry]✔️ by HoneyBee4185

Famous Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived, the Hero of the Wizarding World, is confronted with a problem. Draco Malfoy has been obliviated on his watch by an attack from two suspicious wizards. Now it's his responsibility to make sure Draco Malfoy doesn't get hexed every other day. No matter how mental things may seem, it's a job the Golden Boy has been put up to, and for some reason, this might not be as bad as he thought it was going to be. Things are brewing though, and somehow, having to take care of Draco Malfoy is the least of his troubles.

End This Way (Drarry Fanfiction) by Its_obvious

𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐝!! 𝐢 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐤𝐧𝗼𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐡𝐚 The battle between Harry and Voldemort is over, and Harry feels depressed after telling Ginny that he was...gay. Draco Malfoy, however, was confused. His parents told him he was a veela, his eyes change color depending on his mood, he even has wings! But he also has a mate. Mate. Draco knows he can't choose his mate, and that was fine with him; the fact that he was gay. You can probably tell the story from there. They'll live happily ever after, right? Wrong. F.Y.I. I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS! ALL CREDITS GO TO JK ROWLING!!

Intertwined- Drarry (Completed) by multi-fandom-mess18

When Mcgonnagal asked Harry Potter and his year to come back to Hogwarts to complete their education and take their N.E.W.Ts, to say Harry was excited would have been an understatement. With Voldemort dead he could finally enjoy a normal school year with his friends, not worried about somebody trying to kill him but the fact that it was Harry Potter we are talking about and trouble usually found him..... Draco Malfoy, on the other hand was going to go back to Hogwarts to escape, from his empty life at the manor even though Hogwarts held bad memories any place was better than the manor. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE ORIGINAL HARRY POTTER CHARACTERS. THEY BELONG TO J.K. ROWLING. Thank you @Anika_623 for the awesome cover. Its perfect. Started: June 24, 2020 Completed: September 7, 2020 Presently undergoing editing with the help of @drarry_goose. They are awesome! Word count: 40K
