Summary:
Draco returns to Hogwarts after the war, surrounded by ruins, guilt, and the weight of his family name. He feels like a stranger to himself and believes no one will ever truly forgive him. But when Harry unexpectedly tells him, "It's good that you came back," Draco senses sincerity instead of mockery. That small kindness breaks through his defenses, stirring something new inside him - the faint hope that redemption and a fresh start might still be possible.

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.

Ashes of the innocent
It had been three years since Draco Malfoy first took up residence in the dungeons of Hogwarts, trading infamy for quiet routine, regret for purpose. He'd built something close to peace - or at least, silence. Then came the headlines. Harry Potter Released from Azkaban. Falsely accused of magical misconduct against a Muggle, Potter had vanished behind the iron gates of Azkaban for two long years - until the truth finally clawed its way out. Now, broken and unsteady, he was returning to the castle that had once made him a hero, this time as a temporary Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. Draco wanted to hate him. He'd tried to, once. But the man who arrived wasn't the same boy he'd known - and neither was Draco. In the echoing halls of Hogwarts, amid whispered rumours and the ghosts of their youth, two men haunted by their pasts find themselves forced to coexist. What begins as resentment and unease slowly unravels into something raw, quiet, and deeply human - a story of forgiveness, ruin, and the fragile hope that rises from the ashes.
