Harry goes back to Hogwarts to finish his 8th year. Things will go back to normal, he's sure of it. Except everything is anything but normal with his magic fading and Malfoy catching his attention more than usual.
Draco goes back to Hogwarts as well, but this time he just wants to stay under the radar. With everybody hating his guts for being a former Death Eater, the last thing he needs is attention from the Boy Who Lived.
When Draco and Harry are forced together for a potion assignment, they become closer than intended, but it's not easy being friends - or more - when the world keeps pushing them apart.

Fight For Your Life (A Drarry Story)
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.

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?Complete
Love Thy Enemy// Drarry
"It's one of the commandments after all Harry, love thy enemy." "I'm pretty sure that's not one of the commandments Ginny." "Oh whatever, he knows what I mean." ---- One final year at Hogwarts. That's all that stands in the way between Harry Potter and the rest of his life. Except, he's not even sure what he wants to do with the rest of his life. Hell, he hadn't even expected to live this long if he was being honest. But here he was, alive and well and completely unsure of himself. Everyone keeps telling him that he can relax now, have a normal life, but normal flew out the window the day he learned he was a wizard. Voldemort is gone, (for good this time) and Harry is struggling with his purpose, his fate, his future. The one thing that Harry thought he could count on, the one thing Harry actually considered a part of his normal life, was the constant arguments, high tensions, and general teasing that Draco Malfoy would inflict upon him. But even that's changed. Draco Malfoy is different. He's quiet, reserved. Harry's not sure what to make of the new Draco and when they're paired up as partners in potions, Harry is anything but excited. But as the two enemies talk, as they get to know one another, their relationship takes a turn. A turn that neither of them could have expected.

Roommates (Drarry)
"Yeah, um, I..." But the lingering effects of Felix wouldn't let me lie. "I do. I really like you." "Not platonically, then." "Not platonically." "Well, that's lucky." He said. "Because I think I really like you too, Draco Malfoy." "If this is a joke," I began, not believing my ears, "then get lost and I never want to talk to you again. If it-" "It's not a j-" "Let me finish, Potter. If it's not a joke, then shut up and kiss me already and stop stalling." -------------------------- Draco and Harry are back for an eighth year of Hogwarts to finish their NEWTs.

I Swear This Time I Mean It ✔️
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. I don't own the rights to Harry Potter or any aspects of the movies/stories, however I do own the rights to all ideas that I have come up with. My work is my own, please do not post it anywhere else.
