Unfinished Peace

The war is over.
The children are grown.
And the Chosen One is no longer choosing anything at all.

Years after parting ways with Ginny Weasley, Harry Potter has buried himself in his work as Head Auror. London is quiet. The wizarding world is stable. Peace has settled like dust over old battlefields.

It should be enough.

It isn't.

Enter Aurelia Malfoy - younger sister of Draco Malfoy. Brilliant. Cold. Infuriating. Newly appointed liaison between the Department of Mysteries and the Auror Office.

She is everything Harry distrusts.

He is everything she resents.

They do not get along. Not even slightly.

Old bloodlines. Old grudges. Old scars that never quite faded. Their families were once enemies. Their names still carry weight in rooms that go silent when they enter.

And yet-

When a string of post-war magical disturbances begins to surface, Harry and Aurelia are forced into an uneasy partnership. Close quarters. Late nights. Too many arguments. Too much eye contact.

She refuses to be impressed by his legend.
He refuses to forgive her surname.

But hatred, as it turns out, is a thin veil over something far more dangerous.

In a world no longer at war, they may discover that the hardest battles are the ones fought quietly - between pride and vulnerability, past and future... and two people who swore they would never fall for someone like the other.

Enemies.
Colleagues.
A Malfoy and a Potter.

What could possibly go wrong?

Ps- original characters are all dobbys and I only own Aurelia's character and this au's story line
