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.All Rights Reserved

Enemies - the updated version | dm by dracomalfoyxoxo71

It's kind of unsettling how happiness and joy can abruptly turn into feelings of misery and despair at any time. It's incredible how one person can completely transform your life, and how, when they go, they can completely reverse that transformation and leave you feeling completely different. When someone ends their life for you, even though they had a long life ahead of them, you're somehow expected to just move on, no matter how long it takes, right? Even though we were intended to be lovers forever, one of us had to say goodbye and left, therefore they refer to us as enemies to lovers. - (this is an enemies to lovers story) Despite driving each other insane, Mila Blackwood and Draco Malfoy are unable to determine whether their feelings are love or hate. Since they first arrived at Hogwarts, Mila and Draco have been adversaries. However, things are now changing, and they find themselves unable to keep apart. They are unsure if this is a good or terrible thing. - Highest Rank: #1 in dracomalfoy, draco and harrypotter x

Stone Cold (Draco x Reader) by covetedburn

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.

Draco Malfoy x Reader One Shots by Pride_of_Slytherin

"Draco Malfoy was ice. His skin was pale, his features were sharp, and his words were cold. He bit out insults and harsh truths like it was his role in life to do so, and his cool expression would tell you that he thought nothing of it. He was harsh, unforgiving. Ice. But when you met up with him, in free hours between classes or after dark, in the room of requirements or in the astronomy tower, there was a heat that thawed his cold apathy, a burning type of heat when his fingers dragged through your hair or over your skin, intense. And then he was fire. He was untamed and untamable, unquenchable, and it left you without breath. But no matter what type of seizing extreme he was, Draco Malfoy was unattainable. Yours only as long as the flames were alight or the ice was mind numbing, encompassing. And when it had struck you that that wasn't enough, that he was an unpredictable constant you desired in more ways than you had both settled upon, Draco Malfoy was only ice..."

Veins of Iron by anonymouswriterr05

In the shadow of war, Hogwarts is no longer the sanctuary it once was. The lines between light and darkness are growing sharper, and Draco Malfoy stands on the wrong side. Tasked with an impossible mission by Lord Voldemort himself, Draco's cold resolve begins to falter as the weight of being a Death Eater threatens to crush him. Meanwhile, Hermione Granger is fighting her own battles-facing the growing tension in the wizarding world as a Muggle-born, while grappling with the increasing danger surrounding her. Draco has always been the face of everything she despises: cruelty, bigotry, and hatred. But as their paths cross in unexpected ways, Hermione finds that even enemies have their breaking points-and maybe, just maybe, there's more to Draco than his sharp tongue and bitter sneer. In a world where trust is a luxury, and hatred runs deep, can two people who are supposed to be enemies find solace in each other? Or will their opposing worlds tear them apart before they even begin to understand the dangerous pull between them? Secrets, betrayals, and impossible choices await as Draco and Hermione are forced to question everything they've ever known. Is it hate that binds them... or something far more dangerous?
