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.

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.

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
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
But Father I Love Him - A Drarry Fanfic
*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*Complete
Behind Enemy Lines (D.M.)
The space between us disappeared. "Scared of what he'll say?" His hot breath was vexing, in both agony and tone. My eyes narrowed at his assumptions that I cared enough. "Aren't you scared of what I'll do?" My eyes casted down to the wand he didn't see slide up. It was pointed at the firm hand on my throat. "You've always underestimated me, Malfoy." Each word dripped like honey, causing his smirk to twist. A cat and mouse stuck in tormenting circles. His gaze dropped to my lips, a heat igniting in the silence between us. - Where there is smoke: there's fire. The same smokey eyes that watched her too closely all these years. Lillian Petunia Potter, named after her mother, had to fly under the radar and hide in the shadows while her infamous twin brother basked in the hero limelight. She played too close with fire and got herself burned one too many times. Will Malfoy cause her life to go up in flames? Will she freely jump into them if it means risking it all? *** This fan fiction will be loosely following the plot. For the sake of everyone, the plot spans over a couple of year. The first few chapters of the story is story building and to help add slow burn .The majority of the story they will be consenting 17+ year olds.

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.

Harry Potter. The only survivor when Lord Voldemort attacked his home. His parents died, the house was destroyed, but he made it, with nothing more than a scar on his head.
