Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy have lived similar lives, though they never realized it. All their lives, they've asked the same questions, though they never realized it. 

What do you do when the world turns against you? When your protectors become your betrayers and condemn you?

What do you do when your world comes crashing down on you, and the darkness threatens to suck you into its grasp?

Is there any hope, any kindness, any light to be found? Can the unloved find love in the unlikeliest of places? Can enemies put aside differences and learn to trust each other through friendship? Will the darkness that lingers eventually be vanquished, or will it claim victory forever?

Will you be able to escape the darkness? Is it even possible?

Little do they know that these very questions will bring them together on a journey like no other.

Or: Auror Potter is bruised and scarred and Healer Malfoy does something about it. Previously titled Social Casualty.
Stone Cold (Draco x Reader) by covetedburn
21 parts Complete Mature
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.

Nowhere To Belong by merlinstale
9 parts Complete
It's been 2 years since the battle of Hogwarts. Draco Malfoy has been hiding in the manor since he found out about his incurable curse. He has no friends, no has talked to him in over a year, until now. Hermione Granger has been studying curse breaking and has become the upcoming most successful healer in London. ---------- "I see you looking at my body Granger, enjoying yourself?" Draco wrote on the paper. Hermione shook her head. "I just never knew you to like working out," she responded. "I'm deaf and mute, so I feel weak. If I look bigger and stronger then maybe people won't target me because of my curse," he wrote with almost perfect handwriting. No characters belong to me! All to JKR. All characters are in the Harry Potter universe! This is an AU that will be angsty and severely emotional.

The world is a web of decisions. What we decide today changes our tomorrow. Each one of us is interconnected in this web. After the decisions of the war, the Ministry of Magic is tasked with the huge job of ensuring that nothing of the same sort will happen again. Unfortunately, the harsh punishments and fueled anger make war in the near future very likely. With no idea what to do, the Minister of Magic turns to the only one who can help him ensure peace. Only to find out that the two people whom the entire muggle and magical universe are dependent on are sworn enemies. Hermione and Draco. However, it was not always like that. The enemy's souls are intertwined as such, that as soulmates they can restore the balance of their crumbling world. Because a lifetime ago, they were fated. Cover illustration by dar.a_art

Harry and friends are returning to Hogwarts for an 8th year to complete their studies, but the last person he expected to return was Draco Malfoy. Can he put their old rivalry behind them and start anew? Draco has been dealing with his own struggles since the war, and finds himself in a very dark place when Harry Potter, of all people, comes back into his life. Can he offer what Draco desperately needs - a friend, or maybe more? This is the story of two boys working through old bitterness, sexuality, mental health, and new foes amidst the end of the war and their return to Hogwarts. Author's Note: This is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, with a lot of angst but a decent amount of fluff too, more of a plot than just the romance and a happy ending (trust me). Relationships are Harry x Draco, Ron x Hermione, and Pansy x Blaise. Updates will be regular because it's all already written out, and I will be publishing on AO3 at the same under the same name. There is also a playlist associated with the fic and a song for each chapter, so please check that out as well (link will be at the start of the first chapter). This is my first fanfic so all support is appreciated!

One thing you need to know about life, it's not what it's cut out to be. Why do I say this? Because I'm Harry Potter's twin sister, Isabella Lily Potter. And my life took a huge turn on my fifteenth birthday. Never have I expected for fairy tales to come true. For witches and wizards to be real, and for me to be one. Actually, the most powerful witch ever. Yeah, but that doesn't make anything more simple. It really makes everything even more dangerous. See, Voldemort (the man that killed my parents and attempted to kill me and Harry) is on the rise. Luckily, he thinks (and just about everyone else) that I'm dead. I'm dating Fred Weasley... In a way, I guess. But I'm falling in love. . .with my brother's worst enemy, Draco Malfoy. Yes,I know. How can I betray my brother? You'll just have to see. . . DISCLAIMER!!! I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING BELONGING TO J.K.ROWLING!!!
