Harry Potter; the boy who lived. Ironic really, when he really wanted to do anything but live.
After spending the summer after his 5th year alone, encapsulated by his own grief from losing his Godfather, Harry ventures out around Surrey after getting sick of the Dursleys' constant mistreatment of him. One train ride later he meets a boy who flips his entire world around. With his summer finally over, and the 'summer fling' thrown under the rug, trying to forget it ever happened, Harry begins to take a particular interest in one boy specifically. And it just so happens to be Draco Malfoy.

Endgame - A Drarry Fanfic (Harry Potter x Draco Malfoy)
After being married for 20 years, Harry Potter finally admits to Ginny and himself what he's always sort of known: he's gay. He starts to see Draco in a different light, but nothing is ever easy for 'The Boy Who Lived': the war has left him scarred. Harry's name is all over the news again as people try to figure out why he and Ginny divorced. He doesn't know how to tell his children that he's gay and ends up distancing himself from them. He places his trust in Draco, but will that turn out to be a mistake? Takes place after all the books and Cursed Child (only a few small things have changed like some side couples and Hermione didn't become Minister). Spoilers for all 7 books. TRIGGER WARNINGS: depression, PTSD, suicide (these warnings are labeled at the beginning of chapters), (some) profanity and sexual content (PG-13). I do not own Harry Potter, any of its characters or any images. All writing, however, is my own. COMPLETED Word Count: ~35,000Complete
The Summer That Changed Everything ⤘ DRARRY
"Harry thought that maybe he was having a dream where Draco would have him, and they would stay in a small place in Godric's Hollow. Maybe he dreamt of a world where people like himself were accepted, and didn't have to hide from society. Or maybe that was just Harry's fantasies. Draco would never think of him the same way." . . "He buried his face in the cavity between his legs and his chest. Why did he care so much? He cared because, whether he liked it or not, Draco Malfoy was in love with Harry Potter. He had been since fifth year. He loved to drown in those emerald lakes Harry had for eyes. He loved that smirk Harry had whenever he was being an absolute arse to Draco. He loved him." . . . It's the summer after 5th year, and Draco is given a choice. Either stay at Harry Potter's house for the remainder of the summer, or stay at his house. He is convinced by his mother to choose the one she feels is best. But what happens when Draco finds there's more to The Boy-Who-Lived's life than he'd originally imagined? Will he risk his life to save another?Complete

Is this love? [Drarry]
[Post war] Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter, swore enemies, right? That's what everyone thought, but war changes people. It makes their hearts shift. When Draco finds himself catching feelings for the-boy-who-lived-twice what can he do? !!!TW!!! PTSD, depression, mentions of self-harm and abuse. I WILL PUT WARNINGS AT BEGINNING OF CHAPTERS WITH ANY SENSITIVE TOPICS. If you are uncomfortable reading on any of these topics, do not read this. Everyone's safety is more important to me than a couple of reads. I LOVE YOU ALL <4Complete![Scars That Heal (Dramione Fanfiction) [COMPLETE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/77088427-256-k792192.jpg)
Scars That Heal (Dramione Fanfiction) [COMPLETE]
[COMPLETED] The Battle changed everyone, there was no doubt in that. Hermione was still returning to Hogwarts despite this, in the hope she would be able to get her NEWTs and move on. Nightmares haunt her, and it will be difficult to forget all that has happened. Draco was a Death Eater, despised and feared. Now he has to contend with the hate he helped breed, and make it to the end of his exams before he can escape it. But all he did has taken it's toll, and he's not the only one dealing with the awful memories. They say misery loves company, but maybe broken people can learn to fix each other... WARNING: Themes of self-harm, panic attacks and suicide feature prominently in this story. Trigger warnings are put at the start of chapters for self-harm, suicide and death, but many chapters feature panic attacks or references to panic attacks. If any of these things upset or trigger you, I recommend you avoid these signposted chapters or the book as a whole.Complete
