Summary
“You’re strange,” Dudley says, “Are you—” He stops himself. “It’d be weird to ask you if you weren’t. I grew up being taught to hate people like that.”
“I’m gay, if that’s what you’re asking.” Draco says, smoothing out the emerald satin fabric of his suit. The Muggles in Savile Row truly outdid themselves on the tailoring.
Dudley stares at him for a long moment, eyes squinted. “Yeah, that’s probably it.”

Summary
When the Second Wizarding War ended, it was supposed to bring eternal peace.
But the ideals of rebuilding a better world on the foundation of peace didn’t last. What began as justice slowly twisted into bitterness, fear, and an insatiable thirst for vengeance. As the Ministry sets out to shape a new society from the ruins of war, it launches a full-scale purge of former Death Eaters — determined to wipe out anyone who ever stood on the wrong side.
Harry Potter, of course, can’t just stand by and watch it happen.

Summary
Eighth year, and Draco fully intends not to piss people off more than they already were. However, he’s not the best at this so of course, he fails barely three days in. And Potter, per usual, needs to be the solution to every problem.
"Draco choked out a hysterical laugh that got caught in his throat halfway through, and grabbed the homework he was supposed to be working on. He headed to his room holding back tears. Draco pushed open his door, and closed it behind him. He stood there for a moment, trying to catch his breath, even though it felt that each time he inhaled, air was moving farther and farther away. "
"“How would you know? You don’t know me.” His jaw clenched, and Draco blinked back any emotion.
“Yes, I do!” Potter insisted on shoving his wand up at Draco, as a demonstration of his pathetic lack of control.
Draco corrected him. “No. You know the worst of me.”
“That’s enough.” Potter remembered himself, and put his wand down, stepping back. He didn’t put it away, however. Why did this always happen? Not once did Draco take out his own wand. ""

Shifting in the Sand
After the war, Draco makes the decision to come back to school for his eighth year, desperate to escape the walls of his home. Turns out, Hogwarts is just as tormented by the things he’d done. Overwhelmed with the memories, he tries to clean up the areas he’s ruined before he gives up the fight—only to be stalked, once again, by Harry Potter. The prick. If he only minded his business, they wouldn’t be in this mess.
Harry didn’t come back to school for any reason other than to desperately cling to the only home he’d ever known. Only to realize it doesn’t feel the same anymore. Maybe he no longer has a home. Needing to find a distraction from the walls that hurt to walk in, Harry finds himself following Draco Malfoy, who’s up to something, back to the Room of Requirement.
Only to break a Time Turner in a stupid fight. And get stuck in 1977.
Sorted into the wrong houses and forced to pretend to be friends, Draco and Harry have to confront the dead, the ghosts that haunt them, and their growing feelings for each other.
Roots in the Ruins
Two years after getting back in their universe, Draco Malfoy is perfectly content with his life. He volunteers at St. Mungo's, donates to wizarding charities, writes letters that jump across the universe, and in his free time, works at a muggle flower shop. He's well-rested, healthy and still going. And he is definitely not lonely.
With little else to do with his time, Harry Potter decides to help Hermione out on one of her fundraisers by picking up the flowers. There, he sees Draco Malfoy. Looking like the sun. When he learns Malfoy’s involved in Hermione’s werewolf fundraising event that takes place all through December, Harry can’t help himself. He wants to go, too. A strange niggling in the back of his brain isn’t leaving him alone, and—well, he’s never been very good at ignoring things like that.
When a hidden figure hits them with a rune that forces them to work together and solve a mystery, they'll both quickly learn that no one can hide from the past.

The Heir to the House of Prince
"So you're adopted?
"Supposedly.""So your Dad ... he's not ...?"
"Seems like it."
"Huh." Theo stares at Harry with those grey eyes that look silver in the cauldron smoke between them. "But you're the heir to this ... House of Prince, so he's probably -""Yes. Probably." Harry looks at Theo sharply. "You don't know who he is, do you?"
"No." Theo looks back just as sharply. "If I did, I would tell you. You know I would."
"I do."
Something loosens inside Harry's chest. Something that has been tightening ever since Cedric died. He may not have his friends, or Sirius, or even know who he fucking is anymore, but he has this. At least he has Theo.
Summer of 4th year and Harry's all alone, dealing with his grief and the sudden revelation that James Potter is not his father. Support comes in a strange form. The form of Theo Nott, son of a death Eater. A strange friend who says he'll help him find his true father, whoever this Lord Prince might be.
The Heir to the House of Prince Part 2 - The rise of the Black Prince
Harry dreams.
Beyond the veil, he realises that there is no taste to the air. He stands with the Black Prince and watches the ravens fly in slow circles above a triangle made of shadows.
"I'm dreaming," Harry says.
"You may be," the Black Prince smiles at him.
"Are you?" Harry asks. "Dreaming?"
"It's possible," the Black Prince watches the ravens with soft familiarity. "This is the place where we meet."
Then Sirius' arms are around him. Warm, strong, loving, hugging him from behind with that smell of cigarettes and whisky. "You're a lynchpin in the universe, Harry."
Harry turns with a smile to hug his godfather but Sirius is not there. Bellatrix is leaning over him and Harry is encased in stone, unable to breathe, unable to think through the pain in his hand.
"I expected more."
Harry screams and wakes, but not for long.
The dreams pull him back.The Heir to the House of Prince Part 3 - The Last Necromancer

Then from the body of Mryddin where he lay, his life spent upon the field of battle, they took a bone from his arm that had borne the sword of the lake. Each part they gave to Death and she fashioned for Morgana Le Fey a weapon of great power."

Summary
Draco fought to keep his expression neutral, though it was difficult under Harry’s intense gaze.
“Don’t do that,” Harry said, his voice low.
“Do what?” Draco asked again.
“Modify your reactions around me. Or coddle me, or whatever, because you think I’m being emotional or I can’t handle it or you’re worried about upsetting me. Everybody does it, and I hate it.” Harry exhaled harshly. “I can’t handle it from you, too.”
Draco sighed, twisting the ring around his finger. “You are my client, remaining neutral and unbiased is my job, Harry. So is making sure you’re in the proper state to handle-”
“Oh, screw you,” Harry interrupted.

Summary
After the end of the Second Wizarding War, the infamous Boy Who Lived Twice has all but disappeared from the public eye. In a shocking act of spontaneity in the months following his victory over He Who Shall Not Be Named, Harry Potter abandoned his friends and his pursuits of becoming an auror to study dragons at the infamous Romanian Dragon Sanctuary. Under the careful guidance of his best friend’s brother, Charlie Weasley, Harry has discovered a passion for caring for the rather vicious and powerful beasts. The tumultuous life of the Savior has finally calmed down, and one could argue that he has found something reminiscent of peace after a lifetime of anguish.
But of course, Harry Potter’s life is anything but peaceful. When the dragon keepers save an injured dragon from poachers, Harry’s newfound peace is turned upside down. As any respectable dragon keeper knows, Hebridean Black dragons are notorious for their dark scales and purple eyes. Imagine their surprise when the injured dragon is discovered to be a pure-white Hebridean Black with gray eyes. Eyes that only seem to watch Harry.

The Journal of Dreadful Things Anthology by Lilbeanz19
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
15 Aug 2025
Summary
Draco Malfoy's fate is changed when his future-self rather rudely drops in and burdens him with the task of changing the course of time. To save himself and the future of the wixen world. With only an enchanted old journal and his outstanding wit in hand, Draco must do all that he can to change his fate, all the while failing miserably to not fall in love with a certain scar-headed someone.
Anthology containing:
Draco Malfoy & the Journal of Dreadful Things
“Draco, nothing is how we wanted it to be. It wasn't what we were raised to believe,” Future-Draco emphasised, eyes pleading, mouth a grim line. “You need to change our fate.”
The boy's gaze snapped back up to the man's.
“What? How am I supposed to –?”
“Today is the thirty-first of July nineteen ninety-one, yes?” Future-Draco asked, reaching inside his cloak. Draco nodded, frowning.
“Today is the day you meet Harry Potter.”
“I do?!” Draco gasped, delighted.
Future-Draco paused in his actions, his face scrunched into a sneer. “Yes,” he said, “you meet him when you get your robes fitted at Madam Malkin's. You don't make a good first impression, clearly.”
“Why ever not?” Draco pouted. “What's not to like about me?”
Draco Malfoy & the Horror of the Heir
Draco Malfoy is having the worst summer of his life. It's too hot, his father keeps having strange meetings, and worst of all, Harry Potter won't respond to any of his owls.
Oh well. At least there won't be any strange magical books showing up to ruin this school year.
Draco Malfoy & the Study of Muggles
Draco Malfoy is determined to have a much calmer school year after the events of the last one. With no possession or petrifications, surely he can just get on with his studies and mess around like a normal thirteen year old, right?
Apparently not when you're friends with stupid scarheaded Harry Potter and your deranged cousin's broken out of Azkaban.

“It was his birthday yesterday. I got him a pair of Gouldian finches – he was so excited. You know, he used to hate birds? The peacocks terrified him when he was small.” Narcissa sniffled and turned back to Harry. “Twenty-six years old … and he can’t be left alone for ten minutes.”
“What happened to him?”
Narcissa took a sip of her tea; she pursed her lips and blew on the cup’s steaming surface.
“Draco tried to obliviate himself, Harry – last year on Christmas.”
“He …” Harry’s mouth gaped. “What? Why?”

Harry Potter & Seven Years of Chaos Anthology by JessalynMichele, Severitus812 (JessalynMichele)
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
10 Jul 2025
Summary
Anthology containing:
Obliviate
What if Harry understood his “freaky accidents” when he was young and began controlling them? How would this impact his first year at Hogwarts?
*Warning for: child abuse, implied sexual assault of a minor, and descriptions of violence.Sectumsempra
Harry Potter enters his second year at Hogwarts surrounded by power, allies, enemies, secrets that whisper to him from the castle walls, and a past that won’t give him any peace.
Severus Snape prepares himself for another year of keeping the most chaotic student he has ever had the (mis)fortune of meeting alive.
Welcome to the Chamber of Secrets.
Veritaserum
Does Snape really think that Harry is worried about another mad man after him?
He can handle himself, thanks.
Changes in the gang and at Hogwarts are running rampant as Snape tries to deal with a ward who he believes may be struggling with more than just his copious amounts of past trauma, Harry wants everyone to leave him alone and let him find Sirius Black for a 'friendly chat', Susan fantasizes about what she'll do if she even so much as sees one hair of Sirius Blacks head near her best friend, Hermione and Theo just want to read... alone... together..., and Remus Lupin wonders what on Earth happened to James' son to create the chaotic child he now meets.
Welcome back to Year 3.
Tres Mortes
Harry feels great, honestly. He’s got a loyal group of friends, big plans for the future, and he thinks he’s finally gotten the hang of how other people show emotions and how to use those emotions to get what he needs.
Plus now there’s an exciting tournament happening, Snape’s darkening mark means Harry might get his chance for revenge on Voldemort sooner rather than later, and the new Defense Professor is an absolute bloodthirsty genius.
So Harry’s great.
It’s just that Severus Snape is not doing so great. He worries if his ward will survive a year filled with danger, masked enemies, and changes happening quickly within the student body.
Welcome back to Year Four.
Let’s see some chaos, yeah?The Grey Force
Harry Potter has magical power that has never been seen before, an ever growing gang of powerful and brilliant allies, and enough cunning and strength to face whatever comes his way this year.
Unfortunately, Harry Potter also has mental illness, a tendency for idiocy, powerful enemies, and a reckless streak that has taken at least ten years off Severus Snape’s lifespan so far- so Severus enters the year with more reservations than his foolish ward does.
Alliances will be tested, lines will be drawn, and Hogwarts is beginning to feel like a battlefield more than a school.
Which, in Harry’s opinion, is perfectly brill.
Welcome to Year Five.
