Draco Malfoy wasn't as untouchable as she had once thought him to be. In this moment, he looked scared and nervous and Amicia thought it was absolutely wonderful. It served as a reminder to her that he was only human, capable of feeling fear, insecurity, and possibly even remorse. It reignited a hope for him that she previously extinguished and now she had a choice before her, to either smother the flame or to nurture it.

never let me go by rattlethestars01

Harry and friends are returning to Hogwarts for an 8th year to complete their studies, but the last person he expected to return was Draco Malfoy. Can he put their old rivalry behind them and start anew? Draco has been dealing with his own struggles since the war, and finds himself in a very dark place when Harry Potter, of all people, comes back into his life. Can he offer what Draco desperately needs - a friend, or maybe more? This is the story of two boys working through old bitterness, sexuality, mental health, and new foes amidst the end of the war and their return to Hogwarts. Author's Note: This is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, with a lot of angst but a decent amount of fluff too, more of a plot than just the romance and a happy ending (trust me). Relationships are Harry x Draco, Ron x Hermione, and Pansy x Blaise. Updates will be regular because it's all already written out, and I will be publishing on AO3 at the same under the same name. There is also a playlist associated with the fic and a song for each chapter, so please check that out as well (link will be at the start of the first chapter). This is my first fanfic so all support is appreciated!

me and the devil! by finnxhawkins

draco malfoy x oc! emotions have been under wraps and patched up like leaks for as long as he can remember. emotions were not even there, but lost in the flames that ignites in her as it does fear in the people around her. they hate each with a passion but emotions start to gnaw at them from the inside out until they collide and hell breaks loose. but in their case, collision is like lips clashing together after longing for another's taste for so long

Ashes between us | Draco Malfoy by ObscyraNight

Maxine Crouch had always lived under the shadow of her infamous brother, Barty Crouch Jr., and the pressure to prove she was nothing like him weighed heavily on her. At Hogwarts, she made just one enemy-and one enemy only: Draco Malfoy. From the moment they met, Maxine and Draco clashed. Both were fiercely ambitious, both desperate to claim the second-best spot after Hermione Granger, and both utterly determined never to back down. Their rivalry burned with an intensity that no one could ignore... until one fateful night changed everything. Trapped together in a dusty, forgotten storage room, forced to rely on each other to escape, Maxine and Draco saw each other in a new light. The hatred that had once defined them shifted, replaced by something far more complicated-and far more dangerous. Over the years, their connection only grew more tangled. Two opposites in every way, once sworn enemies, now shared a bond that left everyone around them questioning what they really were. Love and rivalry, passion and defiance, all intertwined in a way neither of them could escape...

Echoing Green | Drarry by thegatheringdust

Back at Hogwarts for his eighth year, Draco is offered the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to enter a prestigious potion competition and maybe salvage his future. The only catch? He has to work with Potter. After everything they've been through, asking for Potter's help seems like Draco's worst nightmare. But as they struggle to heal old wounds, Draco begins to question everything he thought he knew about himself and about the boy who won't stop staring at him with those terrible green eyes.

His Rival's Sister by SunnShineee6

For everyone who knew Draco Malfoy deserved more than scars and sarcasm-this one's for you. "Do you like making me insane? Touching him like that in front of me?" "Why should it matter if you don't want me?" Forget everything you thought you knew about Hogwarts... because this time, Harry's not the only Potter in town. Meet his twin sister-sharp tongue, clever mind, and absolutely done with living in her brother's oversized shadow. While Harry is busy being the Chosen One, she's busy making her own choices... including catching the attention of a certain Slytherin prince. Yeah, that's right. Draco Malfoy. Arrogant. Infuriating. Ridiculously good-looking (and he knows it). This isn't just about magic, it's about rewriting fates. Because maybe Draco Malfoy deserves a better ending... and maybe the Potter twin was always meant to shake things up.

Cheers, Potter. by NocturnalCarrot

After the Second Wizarding War, Malfoy found himself alienated from the majority of the school; his old friends just irritated him, all of Hogwarts' students (besides a few salty Slytherins) hated and feared him, and the school he'd once called home seemed to want him out. Draco felt more alone than he ever had... That is, until one Harry James Potter came to realise his supposed arch enemy's dejection and pitied him. The Chosen One couldn't help but reach out. A slow burn Drarry fanfiction. Character-driven, not plot-driven. TRIGGER WARNING: Bullying and isolation. Also alluding to depression and PTSD. PS. If you're here for the smut, it's the chapters with the Lenny Faces ;) PPS. I use way too many commas. If that bugs you, don't read.

Well, Adria Harlow has always liked to play with fire. And let's just say, she knows exactly how to provoke each and every one of Draco Malfoy's buttons, stoking the flames and igniting the Inferno.
