    Summary

    "I- I- Lily, listen to me. Listen to me, please-"

    "There's nothing more we can do."

    "He will kill you!"

    "Then he'll kill me, Severus!"

    "Please. Please, convince James to break the oath. If he knows- if he knows, maybe he'll change his mind."

    "Break the oath? Break the oath? You're smart enough to know, Sevie-"

    "I don't want you to die!"
    - The Pensieve memory of Lily Evans and Severus Snape, September 29th, 1981.

    Harry Potter was born a freak. He always knew that. The addled orphan of drug addicted parents, dropped off at his respectable relatives’ house, only for them to go on and die in a car crash. It was alright. One day he was going to be a zookeeper, probably. Or just something that worked with snakes.

    Summary

    The war has been over for five years. Harry Potter is twenty-two years old, freshly out of a long relationship, and slowly realising that surviving Voldemort was the easy part. The hard part is figuring out how to live.

    When Hermione insists he finally see a Mind Healer, Harry begins the slow, painful work of unpacking everything he has spent years walking past. It is the hardest thing he has ever done. It is also, quietly, the beginning of everything else.

    Because somewhere between the therapy sessions and the takeaway lunches and the nights he can finally sleep, Harry starts to notice something he probably should have noticed a long time ago.

    Hermione has always been there.

    Summary

    After the war, Draco Malfoy returns to Hogwarts expecting judgment, suspicion, and a year spent surviving the consequences of his mistakes. What he does not expect is Potter stalking him again like in sixth year. Except this time it's different because it's not out of suspicion, but something else... a suffocating obsession with saving him that grows the more Draco feels like he doesn't deserve it. Almost as if something in Harry is instinctively attracted to the rot beneath Draco's facade of nonchalance.

    As winter closes around Hogwarts, old traumas begin to take on a life of their own. Dreams feel like more than dreams...something walks though them trying to lure Draco towards an antlered figure in the dark. And the closer Draco and Harry become, the harder it is to tell where obsession ends and something far worse begins.

    Summary

    [Draco Malfoy x Original Female Character × Harry Potter]

    When children are in the midst of a war can the outcome really be anything but underwhelming?

    Draco had stepped down, kept himself away from ideologies he was parroted to repeat word-by-word. Although, his side had been murky till now.

    Scarlett Holloway, a Hufflepuff who kept things aligned behind the scenes and didn't seek applause. A bond made from recognition and not heady passion- it leads Malfoy away from the safe choices he made post- Hogwarts.

    He recognised her and she saw his name before she knew for sure. Things that happened in past ought to remain there, but what if it's dug out? No one's a monster. Nobody's incompetent.

    They were children. They were scared.

    Harry, on the other hand has been struck with change once again. One after another, doesn't it get tiring?

    Summary

    No son héroes de cuento de hadas. Son dos hombres adultos, rotos y llenos de fantasmas que intentan sobrevivir a su trabajo en el Ministerio. De día se detestan y se tiran indirectas venenosas; de noche, se usan como pararrayos para descargar la miseria acumulada de sus vidas. Habían construido un equilibrio miserable pero funcional a base de silencio y sexo crudo. Pero cuando a Harry se le escapa la peor verdad de todas, Draco tendrá que elegir entre volver a levantar su muro de hielo o arrojarse de una vez por todas a la caída libre.

    Summary

    Years after the war, Harry Potter has everything he was supposed to want. A stable career, a quiet home, a marriage build on history and habit.

    So why does it all feel unbearably hollow?

    OR

    When an old friend from Hogwarts returns to England and moves to the flat next door, Harry finds himself drawn toward the kind of comfort he thought he'd outgrown. Late-night conversations turn into simple routines. Routines turn into dependence.

    And somewhere between the shared cups of tea and the sound of laughter through the thin house walls, someone falls in love.

    Unfortunately, it isn't Harry.

    Summary

    It had been just his luck, hadn't it been? To be put in Quirinus Quirrell’s body, as he'd already been possessed by Voldemort.

    Tom groans, tilting his head upwards and sighing, looking very dramatic. “Failed possession. Quirrell apparently tried to back out at the last second. After I told him consent to possession is important. But no, he goes and changes his mind seconds after we do the binding. And so magic lashed out, his soul is, well, gone. Mine couldn't bind to anything so magic most likely just grabbed the closest soul it could find and yanked it here.”

    Dakota makes a face. “Rude vampire's make traveling very hard. I have been betrayed by modern literature.”

    Ravenclaws,” Snape muttered under his breath as he rolled his eyes.

    Dakota wants the record to know that he was NOT up for some body possesion and sharing. Tom Riddle would like the record to know that he was NOT up for body possesion and sharing with Dakota. Unfortunatly, they both don't get what they want.

    Summary

    The Dark Mark appears on Draco Malfoy's arm.

    As the war grows bloodier and the Order of the Phoenix grows smaller, Harry must navigate impossible choices, old griefs, and a betrayal he isn't sure he can survive. But in a world where loyalty is currency and everyone is playing a role, the truth may be far more dangerous than he imagined.

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy had spent years becoming one of the best players on Blackwell Prep’s hockey team.
    Then one fight, one rivalry, and one bad decision got him benched for good.
    He should’ve let it destroy him.
    Instead, one empty rink, one stupid dare from Lavender Brown, and one impossible jump put him under the sharp eye of Regulus Black, former figure skating prodigy and the most ruthless coach in the county.
    Now Draco is trading bruises for blades, body checks for choreography, and the violent thrill of hockey for the unbearable vulnerability of being watched.
    Harry Potter, hockey star and the reason Draco lost everything, can’t seem to leave him alone.
    And somehow, watching Draco fall is much easier than watching him fly.

    Summary

    Harry Potter has inherited many things.

    Some are gifts.

    Some are burdens.

    Some should never have belonged to him at all.

    The trouble is that Harry is getting increasingly tired of being controlled. What will be the thing tipping Harry over the edge and exploding? Will the Wizarding World with all its secret still exist as it does today?

    Summary

    "You don't know who I am," the boy said.

    Harry looked up.

    "No."

    "My name is Draco Malfoy."

    He said it like an announcement, as though trumpets should follow—as though Harry ought to recognize him immediately, every word dripping from his tongue like sweetened venom.

    Draco Malfoy's eyes narrowed. "That is usually the point where people apologise."

    "Oh, is it?" Harry said. "Must be embarrassing when they don't."

    Seventeen years after Albion's royal family was slaughtered and their infant heir disappeared, Dudley Dursley entered Harry Evan's name into the Royal Academy's annual scholarship lottery as a joke.
