When Auror Potter is anonymously cursed with silence by being forced to hide his own voice inside his mind, there's unfortunately only one person in the country with the qualifications to fix it: Certified and Licensed Healer Legilimens, Draco Malfoy, specialist in Mind Curses and Afflictions. It's obviously a terrible idea, a disaster waiting to happen, but Draco's never been able to back down from a challenge... especially from Potter.

Features fuzzy cartoon slippers, devious house elves, 90s music, and lots-LOTS-of memories. Ron is annoyingly hot, Hermione sees right through you, Harry is a powerful idiot, and Draco is a reclusive masochist that would buy an entire city if it would make a kid happy. (And Pansy is "5'2, I wanna dance with you, and I'm sophisticated fun.")All Rights Reserved

(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.

Meet Me In The Broom Cupboard by Ellie7457

Hermione is the "Brightest Witch of her Age": she follows the rules and she only breaks curfew to fulfil her prefect duties. That is until one night in a dusty broom cupboard with a certain Slytherin. She may have just made the worst decision of her life. Or the best? *COMPLETED* Disclaimer: I don't own the world of Harry Potter (unfortunately). Another Disclaimer: if you're looking for toxic Draco, you're probably NOT going to find him here but I hope you like him anyway! Three cheers for ✨soft✨ Draco!!!

You Make It Feel Like Christmas / drarry by gglow_ao3

At thirty years old, Draco Malfoy has successfully obtained a reputable degree in Ancient Languages, has proceeded to shut himself into the basement of London Library as their Head of Archives, and is wilfully nursing a problematic relationship with a man Blaise eloquently describes as "a sleazy piece of trash". So yes, he's got it all worked out, ta ever so. It's only too bad that when Harry Potter-the youngest Head Auror in a century-happens to need Draco's help with a case, a string of encounters ensues that turn Draco's pre-perceptions of him on their head. To make matters even worse, Potter brings Draco tea, and carries his bags, and says things that are much too straightforward for comfort. And if it makes Draco question why he ever hated the speccy git in the first place, well, that's no one else's business but Draco's... right? Will flying South for Christmas spare Draco from heartache? And does it make sense to salvage the dwindling fire with his elusive beau, or will the kindle of a new flame give Christmas a whole new meaning?

Lost Memories // Drarry by celestine80

"You're such a prick! I knew you hadn't really changed. You're just back to your old ways, torturing me." Harry can still feel Draco's hand around his arm. Their breath mingles as Harry's eyes rove around Malfoy's face. "You probably enjoy it too." "Immensely." They're so close that Harry could count Draco's eyelashes if he wanted to. "You're the worst," Harry gasps out between breaths. His heartbeat pounds overwhelmingly loud in his ears as he loses his senses. His eyes drop to Draco's lips again, and he swallows loudly, interrupting the silence that is only filled with the sound of their heavy breathing. "Fuck you Malfoy." ---- Harry is tired of being enemies with Draco. He has more important things to worry about. The most pressing of those being his real enemy, Voldemort, who is now at large. And then Draco starts acting suspicious and Harry wants to know the truth. He always tries to believe the best in people, but Harry is starting to wonder if there is any good left in Draco at all. ---- Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters. Complete!

The Noctis Codex | DRARRY by jjntashi

"Don't look, just close your eyes... It won't last much longer. I'll find a way to make it stop, I promise." ____ The one thing Draco and Harry despise most? Each other. But the next thing? Discovering they're not just dreaming 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 each other but are trapped together in the same dreams every time they fall asleep─reliving their most painful, private memories side by side. Forced to uncover the cause of this twisted magic, they're drawn into a dangerous, ancient curse with ties to the deepest parts of the wizarding world. Now, as they race to break the bond between them, they find that the closer they get to the truth, the harder it is to pull away... and breaking free may mean facing something far darker─and far more intimate─than either of them ever imagined. ____ [Mystery|Romance] Harry Potter x Draco Malfoy

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

Stuck With You / drarry by gglow_ao3

As if Harry didn't have his hands full already, Draco Malfoy has made a comeback from the dead to torment him. However, this is not the Malfoy he knows, this one apologises to him occasionally, and his blasted tanned skin and gold-streaked hair are unknowingly making Harry want things he shouldn't want. He's just trying to do his job. It's been ten years since Harry defeated Voldemort. He has been promoted to Head Auror a year ago, and now into his arms there has fallen a case of illegal memory potions being sold. If he wasn't busy enough as it was, somehow Draco Malfoy has managed to tangle his name up in the case, and neither of them seem to get rid of the other, no matter how hard they try. Harry is plagued by the realization that while everyone else's life moves forward, his doesn't seem to do so, and there aren't many people who understand what he's been through. Unfortunately, that one blond tosser with his sneering manner is managing to slowly make himself feel like an inevitability.

Cuts Run Deep by Fanon_is_Better

Draco Malfoy can't take it. Everything seems to be getting to his head. Waking up from nightmares in a cold sweat. Secrets and scars that he tried to hide for so long... ~ Harry Potter. The 'Golden Boy'. If only they knew what happens when no one's around. Some people are good at hiding their pain. He can't let anyone know after all... ~ What happens when you lose everything? Do you fall apart and drift away? Can anything repair their broken worlds? *Disclaimer* I do not own any of the characters created by JK Rowling from the Harry Potter series (obviously)

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.

Beneath the Green and Silver by hufflayla

When Harry Potter is unexpectedly sorted into Slytherin, the wizarding world is shaken. Known for his bravery, Gryffindor loyalty, and the legacy of his parents, Harry's placement in the cunning, ambitious house leaves him facing new challenges-and unexpected friendships. As Harry navigates life in Slytherin, he begins to question what it truly means to be a Gryffindor, and whether the path others have expected him to walk is really his own. Amid the shifting dynamics of Hogwarts, he finds himself drawn to Draco Malfoy, a student whose rivalry with him has always been as much a part of his life as the scar on his forehead. But as the two begin to understand each other in a way they never had before, Harry discovers that Slytherin might just be the house that shapes him in ways he never imagined. In this alternate reality, Harry must face the challenges of his new house, uncover the truth behind his own identity, and navigate a slowly growing bond with Draco-one that could change the course of their lives forever. *I do not own these characters, all rights to J.K Rowling* Cover art: rlighwood on Instagram
