After the war, all Hogwarts students were required by Ministry decree to repeat the year. Snape, as headmaster at the time, was too occupied with his wartime role, and the other teachers focused more on protecting the students than on pushing their education forward. So Draco and Harry, long-time rivals, find themselves crossing paths once again in the halls of Hogwarts. How has the war changed their enmity? Will they manage to bridge the gap between them?
Dear readers,
this story is being published alongside its original version in my native language. I first began writing it eight years ago, then took a break, and now I'm returning to finally finish it. Because the story was quite well received in my native language, I've decided to start releasing it in English as well. As I've mentioned, English is not my first language. Please forgive any awkward phrasing or occasional grammatical errors. I hope you will enjoy your reading anyway!
A heads-up: the story moves slowly, and the relationship between Harry and Draco develops very gradually. I hope that won't put you off, I promise we'll get to it.

How to Kiss a Wizard
"You know what Potter... I think I'll take that offer," Draco began, walking closer towards me, backing me against the wall. "Wait, really?" I looked at him suspiciously. This was the boy who had hated me ever since I declined his handshake when we were 11... and now he was agreeing to help me. Something was up. "Yes Potter. Really. You said you'd do anything and anything means everything doesn't it?" I wanted to interrupt him there, I didn't mean everything, I opened my mouth to disagree but he carried on talking, not giving me a chance to answer. " I can use it to my advantage in the future. Who knows when I'll need it?" A smirk appeared on his lips as he eyed me up and down. I felt naked under his glance as I looked at anywhere except his face. Regret filled me once again. Maybe this wasn't the best plan, maybe I could back out now, and maybe I could just- My thoughts went blank as I felt a pair of soft lips collide with mine. Harry Potter could be considered good at everything.... except kissing. When he finds himself crushing on Ginny, who better to teach him the arts of kissing than the Draco Malfoy?

Inseparable || Drarry
Literally, inseparable. Disaster hits. After a spell gone wrong, they discover they're bond together for the next week. Without being able to be touched, and without the ability to move further then a foot apart, Draco and Harry have to figure out how to live with each other. However, they soon discover its much easier then they thought. Harry learns he's more then welcome at the Slytherins table, and Draco doesn't seem to hate him as much as he used to. Could years of loathing actually just be childish squabbles? Did they actually just need more time to understand, and speak to each other? Was this the beginning of a new friendship, or something more then they ever could have dreamed? Heavily inspired by 'Hold My Hand'. Same sort of concept, but not the same writing or quotes. So yeah, credits here! ^^ Warnings: Violence, Strong Language, Sexual scenes. Updating every day except Friday (that's my catch up on writing day) Chapter length: 1000-1500 wordsComplete

The Handshake (Harry Potter Drarry fan-fiction)
On a night in their seventh year, Draco gives Harry a kiss, but the next day he acts as if it never happened. A couple of years later, Harry feels lost and wonders what has become of his life. He is alone, depressed, and begins to think back to that strange night. What if things could have been different? What if he could have had something special now, if only he had made a different decision in the past? What if he had accepted Draco's offer that day on the Hogwarts Express when they travelled to the school for the very first time? Could a handshake have given him a different future? Rating: PG-13 Pairing: HP/DM Disclaimer: "Harry Potter" and all the characters belong to J.K. Rowling; I do not own it. A/N: This is my very first fan-fiction ever, which I wrote way back in 2004, so the 6th and 7th books did not yet exist, and that is why certain things are different from the canon in this story. I have touched it up a bit and corrected some mistakes that had been made, but other than that I have decided to keep the story in its original state, since this is how 19-year-old me wanted it written. Thank you so much for reading it, I hope you have enjoyed it! Have a lovely day! ^^ /Pipe.Complete

Stone Cold (Draco x Reader)
Life in Hogwarts was not as easy as you thought it would be. You were a very welcomed Hufflepuff in your first year because of your parents' reputation even though you're rather comfortable being alone and invisible covered in muggle books so the other kids didn't know you exist. The one thing you ever least expected was to be mentally bullied by none other than the school's most despised kid, Mr. Draco Malfoy. *Disclaimer: The characters and the story are based on JK Rowling's Harry Potter series.
