It was scary, in Draco's opinion, how quickly things could change.
One moment he's in his room, praying to whatever higher power to be left alone for once, the next, he's sitting in Uncle Severus' dinning room, having dinner across from his childhood enemy.
To Harry, change is a dream come true.
All his life he's prayed for change.
But when he gets it, it's not exactly what he had in mind.

NOT a Drarry fic, Draco and Harry are going to be foster brothers and will eventually develop a brotherly bond.

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.

Stillness
Hermione didn't know how to get over the war. She thought returning to Hogwarts would help but after a breakdown the most unlikely person helped her up and taught her it was okay to not be okay. *Check out the companion piece as well From the Desk of Draco Malfoy* ****TRIGGER WARNINGS**** PTSD, SELF HARM, SUICIDE ATTEMPT, ALCOHOL ABUSE, SEXUAL SITUATIONS, MENTAL ILLNESS. THESE CHARACTERS ARE GOING THROUGH SOME SHIT SO THEY ARE NOT MENTALLY HEALTHY PEOPLE. THE RELATIONSHIPS ARE TOXIC, THERE WILL BE AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE, THERE WILL BE MENTIONS OF SELF HARMING.Complete
Infatuated-Draco Malfoy x OC
Infatuation is never a good thing, especially for newly found deatheater, Draco Malfoy. Feelings of any sort, for any one, would only put his heart at risk of being broke. With the dark lord on the rise again, Draco cannot risk being infatuated with another but when Juliet Walter's catches his eye and pulls him in with her mysterious demeanour, he finds himself in the biggest predicament of his life...please his father and keep his family alive or put his life on the line to keep her safe? (18+ story- swearing, violence, mentions of suicide, alcohol use, sexual content) I do not own any characters except for my original character. The plot loosely follows that of the Harry Potter franchise but a lot is changed to accommodate my character.Complete![Silver Claws [Drarry] ✔](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/83838211-256-k142309.jpg)
Silver Claws [Drarry] ✔
[176k words] A/N: It is in your best interest to check literally ANYTHING else I've ever published instead of reading this. Thank you!* Harry knew he could never be friends with Draco. At first, he thought it was because they were enemies. Completely different. But when Ella Amster showed him that they are actually quite similar, the reason why their friendship would never be real, changed. They were both too complicated to be friends; both too complicated to stop on that. And while a little mystery of Draco's "wrong" turn to the right is poking the back of his head, his demons (that he hoped have gone after his summer adventures) are just waiting to attack him again. One coincidence after another will lead Harry right in front of Draco's so well kept secret. And he will stand there all alone his eyes staring at Draco's that suddenly weren't so silver as usual. CW: suicidal thoughts, depressive episodes, guilt tripping, infidelity, suicide attempt →→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→ *WARNING - READ BEFORE READING: This was written when I was 13 years old and just figuring out what writing really means so this is of dubious quality. Other things to keep in mind, aside from the trigger warnings, are the fact that there are plot holes, there are appearances of toxic relationships (which are not acknowledged to be toxic relationships), mental health is handled really badly (there is some romanization of depression and a blatant lack of proper mental health help being sought out or given), some plot points are poorly resolved, most OCs are two-dimensional and frustrating, etc. So, proceed with caution if you still wish to read it and if not, I hope you find more enjoyment in some of my other work which is more thought out and well-written such as "Apples and Oranges", "Wings of Salvation" and "Capax infinity" for Drarry stories or one of my one-shot collections.Complete

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.

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.

Only Ash Remains
One year after Harry defeated Voldemort at the Battle of Hogwarts, he still has no idea what to do with his life. He's been living at No. 12 Grimmauld Place with Hermione and Ron, but they've spent the past few months on an extended stay in Australia to try and restore Hermione's parents' memories. Alone, he feels set adrift. Everyone else is focused on enjoying their summer before Hogwarts reopens (after a one year rebuilding period), but without Ron and Hermione, Harry doesn't know if he can go back. Everything changes when the Malfoys dramatically re-enter his life, and together they learn to live again.

A Beautiful Beginning
Ron looks okay, but Draco looks better. It's after the battle of Hogwarts and Harry Potter keeps looking for a certain, and I quote, "...pale, white-blonde, beautamous ferret." After a incident at the astronomy tower, he might just be able to find a special someone who falls into that category ;) and what blooms from it is even more beautiful. ~*Co-owned story with ClarissaFairchild118 ( go follow her please, she's amazingly awesome ) We came up with the story line by screaming ideas through texts at each other. We will alternate who writes the chapters. All of the characters belong to J.K Rowling except the second-gen characters that appear at the end. Also, the cover is not mine but we both love the art so much 🙂*~ Might, probably, definitely includes: *possible eating disorders (not very tho) *depressed Draco *suicide attempt(s) * cussing * gayyyyyyyyy ✨PLEASE READ ✨ (July 28, 2021) I literally can't thank all of you enough for all the support this book has gotten. It's crazy to me that this started out as an idea Clarissa and I bounced back and forth through text in January/ February of 2020, and now look at how far it's come. And even if it's not the most consistent or popular book out there, it was still my first, so from the bottomless pit of my soul, thank you.Complete

Teddy, learning to get used to the constant fear projected onto him by his peers, finds himself growing into his friendship with Luca, and together, they will learn things about each other that they could never have imagined. Hermione and Ron have found numerous setbacks as they indulge in the mystery of who JK Rowling really is, and if their conclusion is an accurate one. Will Harry recover from his mental struggles? Will Draco be able to cope with the anxiety surrounding his boyfriend, and his son? What will Teddy and Luca's adventures entail? Will The Golden Trio and Draco reveal the truth about JK Rowling? --THIS IS A SEQUEL TO AFTER AND RETURNED. PLEASE READ THOSE BEFORE OPENING THIS ONE, OR YOU WILL BE THOROUGHLY CONFUSED.

Beneath the Mask | Draco Malfoy x OC
Elowyn "Wynnie" Vailmont lost everything. Once a proud Slytherin from one of the oldest families, she returns to Hogwarts after the war as a ghost of the girl she used to be; quieter, sharper, and utterly alone. Her world has crumbled with the blink of an eye; friends gone, the corridors colder, and the Slytherin badge on her chest now a silent mark of shame. Draco Malfoy is still there, but he's not the same either. His name, once commanding great power and respect, now carries the weight of war crimes and whispered judgments. With his family's power fractured and his future uncertain, he drifts through the castle, haunted by things he can't undo. In the aftermath of the battle, as Slytherin faces isolation and shame, Elowyn and Draco find themselves orbiting each other - reluctant, broken, and bound by a shared understanding of loss. But in a school trying to heal, can two people shaped by ambition and survival learn to trust again? ⚠️TW: mental health topics including but not limited to eating disorders, self harm, addiction, suicide, and depression *this story is centered around mental health DISCLAIMER: I don't own the wizarding world or any original Harry Potter characters, JK Rowling created that. However, I own this story and all other characters that I created. Started: 7/23/25
