Summary
Lucius Malfoy wanted his son refined.
Durmstrang gave him opinions, a spine and, Merlin help us, a personality.
After a very public Hippogriff mishap and a Lucius-grade meltdown, Draco Malfoy is promptly shipped off to Durmstrang. The idea is to toughen him up, straighten him out, and remind him who he’s meant to be.
Instead, Draco starts asking questions. Making unlikely friends. Catching feelings he can't quite name. Worst of all? He begins to change and not in the ways his father intended.

Summary
Draco Malfoy had been sick almost his entire life, or at least he thought so, until words started to form on his skin: I must not tell lies.
As it turned out, there were still a lot of secrets from the first war to uncover. How exactly Draco was going to get out of the mess he apparently inherited, was also still to be discovered.- Language:

Summary
Back at Hogwarts for his eighth year, Draco is offered the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to enter a prestigious potions competition and maybe salvage his future. The only catch? He has to work with Potter.
After everything they’ve been through, asking for Potter’s help seems like Draco’s worst nightmare. But as they struggle to heal old wounds, Draco begins to question everything he thought he knew about himself and about the boy who won’t stop staring at him with those terrible green eyes.

Summary
It's the summer of 1998. The battle is over, and Voldemort is dead, but Harry still has more questions than answers. Who is he without a piece of Voldemort's soul in his head? What is he supposed to do now?
His friends try to help, but the only thing that can hold his attention—one of the only things that ever has—is Draco Malfoy, out on parole and weirdly hanging around the British Museum.
As they keep running into each other, Harry sees that Malfoy is different, and he wonders if he can be someone else, too.
Featuring rumpled band shirts, poker games everyone hates, fumbling sex, and a Harry going a little mental over how wands even work.
Fic title from "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve, which was released in 1998. Playlist to get in the late '90s mood.

Summary
Draco’s eyes were closed, and he was breathing evenly. He looked so much like Narcissa that it broke Sirius’ heart. On instinct, he reached out to brush his blond bangs away from his forehead, only to find a raw, lightning-shaped cut on the skin. Sirius stared in horror.
