An 8th year Drarry fic where Harry barely speaks anymore, but Draco doesn't need words to understand him. 

After spending the summer together and beginning their relationship, it's time for Harry and Draco to transition back to Hogwarts. Both men know continuing their relationship isn't going to be easy, but nothing good ever is. 

Can they keep their relationship hidden from not only their friends, but the wizarding world as a whole until they're ready to come out? Can they, along with their friends, end house prejudices for good, and finally unite Hogwarts?

Sequel to my story Ghosts, but my goal is that this can be read as a stand alone book. You'll just miss Harry and Draco becoming friends, as well as the start of their relationship. 

The cover art was done by @/sashaelfel on instagram.

--My "best friend" Malfoy-- by slytherco21

#1 [BOOK ONE] She's got a fiery temper and the typical Slytherin bad attitude, a perfect match for her absolute best friend and partner in crime - Draco Malfoy. ~ Seren Selwyn knows just what it means to have a future laid out for her and an intimidating parent breathing down her neck. She knows what it's like to exist in a world that would rather you didn't, in a world that believes you are the villain. So maybe it's the fact that he's always loved her, that makes her feel like she can take on that same world with flames and steel. Maybe it's the fact that they live in the darkness together that makes it's all vanquishable. Because without him, would she even be the same? Without him - would her demons be victorious? She'll never know, because Draco Malfoy vows to be by her side forever. ⭐︎ He didn't know he was going to fall for her, she is his best friend in all of the world. But when he fell, he fell hard. Every aspect of his life - dominated by the existence of this girl. Friendship became a crush, a crush became love, love became insatiable desire. Draco Malfoy isn't often denied what he wants, but for her he'd give up the world. "I more than love you, Seren Selwyn. I live for you." ___ In a changing, terrifying world that seems to expect more and more from them - will their love be enough to survive it? ~~They've been best friends since Day One of Hogwarts, but do best friends love each other the way they do?~~ Starts off in first year and carries out through the years - UNDERGOING HEAVY REWRITE. Slow burn. Some smut in later years, mainly fluff when they're younger :)

Piece of Your Heart ✔️ by SettleDown1D

Harry will do anything for the ones he loves. When Draco finally shows the good that Harry knew was hidden underneath, he makes it his new life purpose to be sure his former enemy doesn't fall back into his old ways, even if it means major discomfort for both men. With Draco sentenced to house arrest with community service, his mother paying her debt in another county, and his father in Azkaban, here's the start of tentative post-war friendship and maybe more between Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy.

But Father I Love Him - A Drarry Fanfic by withluvchloemarie

*This Fanfic is a hot mess in desperate need of a rewrite. full of plot holes and missing details (READ AT YOUR OWN RISK) I WILL be doing a rewrite within the next 2-3 months but until then...you've been warned* He was chaos, he was revelry...Harry Potter's life takes a sharp turn the moment he's sorted into Slytherin. Gone is the golden boy the wizarding world expects, replaced by a sharp-tongued, chaos-driven troublemaker who finds himself surrounded by cunning housemates and unexpected alliances. Draco Malfoy doesn't know what to make of Harry-Slytherin's newest enigma with a knack for testing Draco's perfect Malfoy image. Their bickering is genuine, their arguments cutting, and yet, something about Harry's rebellious smirk and defiant attitude keeps Draco coming back for more. Over seven years at Hogwarts, Harry slowly dismantles the walls Draco's family has built around him. But as Draco's feelings grow, so does the pressure from his father, Lucius Malfoy, to stay in line and keep Harry at arm's length. Draco can't choose his family-or so he thinks. When it all comes to a head, and the world sees the truth, Draco finds himself standing before his father with one final defiance: "But Father, I love him." A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance filled with biting banter, explosive arguments, and a love so undeniable it shakes the foundations of the Malfoy name. *I don't own Harry Potter*

Late Night Talking by SettleDown1D

"Things haven't been quite the same There's a haze on the horizon, babe It's only been a couple of days and I miss you" Potionsmaster Draco Malfoy swore after the war he would never return to England after fleeing to France for a fresh start. Cue Auror Harry Potter quite literally upending Draco and his life once again as Harry's work takes him out of the country and drops him violently back into Draco's life. Tentative talks lead to something more, and the late night talks bring them together as the distance and stress of Harry's job works to push them apart. * fanart credits for the cover to tumblr artist fae-voritensfw * Started: January 16, 2023 Completed: February 4, 2023

Sectumsempra by somejustone

During summer vacation after his fifth year at Hogwards, Harry can't stop thinking about something he overheard Draco say... that Draco has a crush on Harry... maybe even more than a crush. Now Harry is obsessed with making sense of it all and he can't wait to get back to Hogwarts to confront Malfoy about it. But will he do it? Will he be able to? Of course none of that changes the hatred he feels towards Malfoy, nothing could lessen it, but Harry'll discover that maybe something else can coexist with hate.

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 )

Fight For Your Life (A Drarry Story) by Patrick11Stump

It's a year after the second wizarding war, Lord Voldemort has been defeated, Harry Potter has come back to Hogwarts to finish his final year of school. Simple with no psychopaths breathing down his neck trying to kill him at every turn, no one trying to hurt him anymore. It's going to be the most normal year he's had. After his breakup with Ginny Weasley he doesn't want to get with anyone who just wants him for the fame. Many girls throw themselves at his feet, many boys try to get into his pants. None of them peak his interest very much. It's nothing with them, he just doesn't feel that pull to them, the pull that makes him want to be with them every second of the day. That's until a familiar pale blond with grey eyes says the right things that makes his heart beat faster and his breathing stutter. Will anything ever be the same in Hogwarts?
