It just so happens that Draco Malfoy has his eye on Harry, and is determined to befriend him. After all, he is the boy-who-lived, the golden boy, the chosen one.

Book 1/4 (Returned 2/4, Risen 3/4) My blood ran cold at her words. Everything went still. I noticed Ron and Hermione turn to look at me. Their faces showed pure shock. Then, In a tense whisper, with tears in his eyes, Harry spoke. "Damn you, Weasley." It's now been 10 years since the battle of Hogwarts and Harry has great deal of mental struggles as a result of the course his life has taken. Ginny has tried to help him, but he is unperceptive to her efforts. It's not until Draco Malfoy unexpectedly reenters his life, that things start taking a few turns. Will Harry make it though the battles that rage on in his mind? --This first book and a half is Rough, quality-wise. It's too severe to edit. Y'all are just going to have to give it a chance. I promise that it gets way better as you go through the four books.-- Trigger warnings for this whole thing. Mentions of abuse, self harm, suicidal thoughts. etc. The plot, and some minor characters, are the only thing that belongs to me and my friend This story can also be found under the same title on: Ao3 (username: Greeneggsandham25) Achievements: #19 Teddy Lupin (April 27, 2025) #50 anxiety disorder (February 28, 2021) #42 Scorpius (February 21, 2021)

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.

THEY ARE FROM THE LOVELY J.K ROWLING BUT THE STORY IS FROM MY IMAGINATION WARNING- Themes include child abuse, violence , depression and others.

It's Harry Potters first year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry and so far he's managed to survive up until Christmas. Now the holiday season has rolled around and the two week vacation is days away. Unfortunately it seems Harry will be spending this Christmas alone due to the fact that his new friends, Ron and Hermione, are both going home to see their families. Then Harry catches word that The Malfoy Heir will also be staying for Christmas. What good could possibly come from this? A/N: This fanfiction starts while The Golden Trio is in their first year at Hogwarts and keeps going up until their later years. This means that it's a bit of a slow burn.
