Summary
Draco Malfoy has spent the last three years outrunning his past. An abusive ex. His mistakes. His regrets. With his son in his arms he makes his way to Hogwarts, the last remaining safe haven there is for them. Only to find out that Harry Potter appears to similarly be escaping something.
Or
Draco was at the end of himself by the time he reached the stone griffin that guarded the headmistresses office. Too tired to call for someone, anyone. Too tired to take another step. Which is how he was found, some hours later, propped against the wall with Scorpius curled up in arms, both now covered by the yellow quilt. A terrarium sat beside them.
It was a familiar voice that awoke Draco, startling him out of his shallow sleep. His eyes flicked upwards, catching on the halo of light that surrounded the tall figure's wild head of hair like an illuminated manuscript of some mangy saint.
“Malfoy?”
“...Potter?”

Summary
Draco Malfoy never disarmed Dumbledore. The Elder Wand never changed allegiance. Voldemort lived, and the Dark Regime rose. At the end of it all, Harry and Hermione made their last, desperate choice. The Timeweaver Stone sent them back to 1995, to the summer before fifth year. When their friends still lived, when the war had not yet begun in earnest. To win this second chance, they must stand together as always.
And in the process, uncover the truth of what they have always meant to each other...
A Time travel Fix-It. The second time around, things may be different.

Harry Potter and the Burden of the Snake by RedCherryCake
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
06 Sep 2026
Summary
“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities,” - Albus Dumbledore
What if Harry made the choice not to ask the sorting hat to put him in Gryffindor?
The lines have been redrawn. His best friend Ron is in Hufflepuff, Hermione has joined Ravenclaw, and Harry is forced into co-inhabitance with Draco Malfoy and Theodore Nott.
But trauma doesn't disappear just because the child now holds a wand. Haunted by the Dursleys, Harry turns to ancient magic to survive Hogwarts' depths, only to discover the cost of such power.
Lightly based on SuperCarlinBrother’s “What if Harry was in Slytherin” video.

Summary
Draco is an alpha. Or at least, he pretends to be, but the reality is that he is an omega. He is nothing more than a sheep in wolf's clothing. But, forced from birth to act as something he's not, what is he to do in a world that treats pureblood omegas as less than human?
He can only hope to maintain this fragile facade, but Potter is certainly making it quite hard.

Summary
Five years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter has settled into his job as an Auror and working on a large scale case considering the smuggling of magical creatures. What he does not expect when he leads the raid on the smugglers is to find Draco Malfoy in one of the cages. He can't leave it at that, not with Draco missing memories and having uncontrollable transformations. So what does he do? He brings Draco to Grimmauld Place, and there Draco starts to heal. And who knows what sort of feelings might bloom between them.
-------
"Draco?" Harry breathed.He backed away from Harry but Harry wasn't having that at all. Some part of him had known that this was Draco Malfoy, the boy who'd never had a choice. The boy who'd dropped off the face of the earth after the trials. The boy who Harry hadn't heard a single word of news about for five years.
Harry didn't exactly remember how he'd gotten close to Draco. Only that Harry had his head cradled in his hands a moment later and whispering, "It's okay now. You're safe now."

Summary
Another world, like what? Someplace far away, Harry thinks, where none of it ever happened? There, he and Malfoy were simple childhood rivals, or maybe even friends, flying brooms through a clear blue sky and clouds singing with sunlight.
Another world.
Harry’s running: away from the grief, from expectation, from Ron’s rage and Hermione’s helpfulness and Malfoy’s stupid dead dragon egg. If he runs far enough, fast enough, long enough, surely he’ll find where he's meant to be.

Summary
Thanks to Lucius Malfoy being a huge twat, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy find themselves accidentally bonded and forced to live in the same home. Harry keeps expecting Draco to go all Scorched Earth about the whole thing, but he's being annoyingly calm and reasonable about it all. It's driving Harry absolutely mad.
Or maybe it's more that he's been intrigued by Draco for a while now, and Draco won't give him the time of day. Or maybe that Draco is annoyingly attractive and apparently a good person now or something.
Either way, it's about bloody time they get this stupid bond sorted, don't you think?

Or: Bond magic brings Harry and Draco together against their will, and they fall madly in love anyway. A tale as old as time.

Summary
"You went yourself?"
"I did."
"You had no authority—"
"No."
"I had a promise."
"I expected James Potter's son."
"I found Lily Evans' child."
"He apologised because I asked him if he was hungry." Even Fawkes ceased singing.
"He apologised," Severus repeated, "for being hungry."
Dumbledore's shoulders seemed to sag. "Severus..."
"No." Years of bitterness sat behind that single word.
"I buried Lily because I failed her once." His black eyes never left Dumbledore's.
"I will not fail her son." Outside, thunder rolled across the Scottish Highlands. Neither man noticed.
Far below the castle...
Ancient magic stirred.
Deep beneath forgotten stone...
Something that had slept for nearly a thousand years recognised a name.
Potter. And, for the first time in a very long while...
The House waited.

Summary
Broken by the truth and hollowed out by war, Harry Potter walks through the ruins of Hogwarts for the last time.
Having realized his life was merely a countdown orchestrated for a final sacrifice, he feels no fear. Only a crushing, absolute exhaustion. He heads toward the Forbidden Forest not as a hero, but as a man seeking the mercy of silence.
The peace of death.
For the Chosen One, death is no longer a defeat, but the only relief from a world that never gave him a choice.
Lost in a world of betrayal, Harry no longer knows who to trust. Yet, the only hand reaching out to him is the one he never expected to take.
The very hand of Draco Malfoy.

Summary
Harry knew that accepting the third option presented by death meant living through it all once again. What he didn't expect was how different this path would be without a certain someone trying to make a martyr out of him, rather than the so-called hero media keeps on trying to portray him as.

Summary
Sixth year at Hogwarts was never going to be normal after the Ministry, but Harry expected Dark Lords and Horcruxes, not magic itself starting to fail. Dumbledore’s effortless power is fading as the last known Gatekeepers to stop it weren’t saints or legends. They were the Malfoys. Canon divergence from OTTP through HBP.

Maybe even become someone Harry could one day call a friend.
Changing a story is one thing.
Surviving it is another.

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
Harry felt something touch both sides of his head, gripping it tight enough to be uncomfortable, but not so tight as to hurt — or perhaps he was so used to pain that it didn't register. This time, he did try to scream, but the sound came out muffled, eaten by the darkness as soon as it emerged. The thing around his head grew warmer. When it was hot enough that he thought it would leave his skin red and raw, the first images started flashing in his mind.
They appeared faster and faster, one image after another, flickering in front of his eyes. When the last of the images faded from sight, the darkness was back to being just that — dark. The feeling of not being alone was gone, as was the heat around his head. All Harry was left with were the memories of a life he hadn't yet lived, and the sneaking suspicion that things would never be the same.
or
When Harry is 10, Death visits, leaving behind memories of what things would've been like without intervention. What will change with this new knowledge? Everything.
A somewhat slow-moving, cozy fix-it fic spanning all 7 years. Officially complete!
