Summary
Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are both back at Hogwarts for their eighth year. Since his past still haunts him, rather than becoming an auror, Harry decides to pursue teaching and becomes the assistant to the new D. A. professor. Everything is going as well as could be expected for him (besides the nightmares), at least until he realizes that the potions he brews or takes are acting oddly.
Draco Malfoy is having a terrible year, plagued by the ghosts of his past, the hostility of his present, and the uncertainty of his future. If only Potter could stop being in some kind of trouble for just one single year.

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.

Summary
Soulmates are incredibly rare in the wizarding world. Their bond is a romantic ideal, written about in fairy tales. The soulbond transcends marriage laws, and is more inherently powerful than any magic that could possibly be taught. It's too pure to be corrupted. Too perfect to be denied. Too bright and beautiful and good to be anything other than a miraculous blessing.
Harry Potter, who was raised without any knowledge of the wizarding world, learns all of this much too late.
Two stubborn boys turn away from each other to walk separate paths, but find that they keep on looking back.
A retelling of canon events and the years afterwards.

Do It All Over Again Anthology by DracoWillHearAboutThis
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
16 Dec 2022
Summary
Anthology containing:
Draco Malfoy and the Letter from the Future
All he wanted was a way out. A way to do it all over again, and to erase his mistakes. He stared at the crackling blue flames so hard they imprinted in his vision.
At age eleven, Draco receives a letter from the future, which will make him change the path he has set out upon and lead him into a life he'd never dared to imagine.
Draco Malfoy and the Dark Lord's Diary
Draco enters his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, not knowing he would be confronted with exactly the identity he was trying to leave behind.
Draco Malfoy and the Cousin He'd Never Asked for (Thank You Very Much)
Draco had to wonder, though, why in Merlin's name it was always his family bringing about their doom, like a screwed up version of that ridiculous Muggle Christmas character Hermione had told him about. Why couldn't it, for once, be a distant Weasley relative to be led astray, or really, anyone who was not sharing a bloodline with him? But that would be too easy, Draco figured, and if his life was anything, it was always horribly difficult.
Draco enters his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and if he expected himself to be used to drama and life-threatening plots this time around, he was, sadly, mistaken.
Draco Malfoy and Why in Merlin's Name is it ALWAYS Harry?!
When Draco's mother had told him about the Triwizard Tournament being held at Hogwarts, he'd pictured a fun year of following the action with his friends from the safety of the stands. He had not expected that Harry would be forced to participate, but maybe he should have. Things always happened to Harry, did they not?
Draco Malfoy and the Depths of the Mind
With the return of the Dark Lord, the obstacles Draco has to face in his fifth year are of a completely different nature than he could have ever imagined. Between navigating his role caught amidst the fronts, fighting maniacal educators and teaching Harry to protect his mind from unfriendly attacks, he also has to deal with the challenges of teenage life, and that, mind you, might be the worst of all of those.

Grey Space
In 1991, Harry Potter begins his time at Stonewall High, unaware that he is anything more than a boy prone to freakish accidents.
When he turns fourteen, he will receive a letter that will change his life. He will learn he is Harry Potter, and be invited into a world where belonging is his birthright. Until then, he stumbles on, two steps forward and one step back, out of the cupboard and into the life he was never meant to have.
[Series Update May 2022: Grey Space + sections I (Hermione), II (Ron), III (Draco), and IV (Ginny) of Glasslight now complete.]
Glasslight I: Hermione
Hermione Granger has never quite lived up to anyone's expectations of her, but, then, the world has consistently failed to live up to her expectations, too. None of that matters now, of course—
because Hermione is absolutely, irrefutably, one hundred percent going to turn her life around when she gets to Hogwarts. She’ll go to every class, even if what’s not on the curriculum is the more important part; she’ll never talk back, she won’t go getting into any trouble at all. She’ll never even have a late fee on a book. Because otherwise…
What’s the point? What’s the point of being magical, if she gets herself kicked out of school—again? That’s what her parents are afraid of.
No choice is really easy, and no path safe from the looming threats of an uncertain future and the not-so-distant past. In the stretching summer before Hogwarts, Hermione begins to unravel what it means to be born in one world, belonging to another.
[Series Update May 2022: Grey Space + sections I (Hermione), II (Ron), III (Draco), and IV (Ginny) of Glasslight now complete.]
Glasslight II: Ron
Ron knows who he is: the sixth of the seven Weasley siblings. Hogwarts, for him, was inevitable. Gryffindor assumed. He knows his wand is second hand, and his rat, and his robes third, books fourth or fifth or so, and he knows the Professors are going to call him Fred or George or Percy or Charlie or Bill. He knows that most everyone can take one look at him and see all of that. And in some ways, it makes it easier, to never have to prove anything.
The rest of the world, though, it's not so certain. The World Cup was the best day of Ron's life, until the horrible night that followed. Azkaban was supposed to keep history locked up tight, until Sirius Black escaped. Hogwarts was supposed to be the most amazing experience, until Snape started assigning homework. And Harry Potter—
But who is Ron kidding? He should just keep his head down, stick with Seamus and Dean, and be glad he knows who he is, at least.
[Series Update May 2022: Grey Space + sections I (Hermione), II (Ron), III (Draco), and IV (Ginny) of Glasslight now complete.]
Glasslight III: Draco
Draco is the son of Lucius Malfoy, who would not bat an eyelash to delegate someone to provide whatever Draco desires. Draco is the son of Narcissa Malfoy, whose unpredictable cousin Sirius Black is a specter haunting Draco's first year with dementors and aurors making a nuisance of themselves around the castle. Draco is the student of Severus Snape, whose disappointment is a salt knife through the gut, but whose wit and genius is practically peerless. And all this means Draco (Malfoy, Slytherin, pureblood, wizard) is poised for greatness.
But good God: Hogwarts, though the premier school in the UK, succeeded in the world only by Durmstrang, is so full of plebians sometimes Draco can hardly breathe for the stench of their stupidity.[Series Update May 2022: Grey Space + sections I (Hermione), II (Ron), III (Draco), and IV (Ginny) of Glasslight now complete.]
Glasslight IV: Ginny
September can't come soon enough. Ginny is so close to finally, finally leaving the Burrow and the Ministry school and her mother's nagging behind. Ron's turned into a complete git, Fred and George keep trying to blow up the house, Percy is married to the Ministry, Charlie and Bill are only around long enough to leave again, and Ginny's been stuck here, all alone, with nothing to do but go to school and dodge away from chores—
Well, not all alone, and not nothing to do. She has Tom, and she'd do most anything to protect him for what an amazing friend he has been over the last year. She has Luna, who has never been anything but patient when Ginny's anger boils over. But when she gets to Hogwarts—
When she gets to Hogwarts, things will be different. And she'll still have them. Could Ginny really hope for anything more?

Glimmers: Sirius
When Sirius reached the shore, having swum all the way from Azkaban, his body shaking with the exertion and the cold, he ran. He ran, and he ran, and he didn’t stop. It was like a nightmare: you have to keep running, because if you don’t keep running, that something looming behind you will catch up. But it wasn’t a nightmare. Sirius has always known running, running as far and fast as you can until you find safe harbor, and he knew this wasn’t a nightmare: there was the sun, for the first time in thirteen years, burning at his black fur; there was the asphalt beneath his feet, burning at the pads of his four paws, wearing away the nails that had grown long with only a single cell to pace the length of.
He ran, and he kept running, not because someone would catch him, but because if he stopped, he knew he wouldn’t be able to start again.He ran until he reached the sea. Then, staring out, standing still at last, he finally had the thought that if he was going to find his way to Devon, he was going to need to find a sign.

Sirius is still running, but now in pursuit. Glimpses into the summer of 1995, as Sirius chases after Peter Pettigrew.

Summary
A series of "what if" rewrites of Harry Potter, books 1-7. Cross-posted from tumblr (ink-splotch).
Anthology containing:
boy with a scar
What if Voldemort had chosen the pureblood boy, not the halfblood, as his opponent? This Neville would have had graves to visit, instead of a hospital. He’d still have grown up in his grandmother’s clutches, tut-tutted at, dropped out windows absentmindedly, left to bounce on paving stones.
Let’s tell this story: Alice Longbottom, who was the better at hexing, told Frank to take Neville and run.
the kids who chose themselves
What if Voldemort went after Harry and Neville, and gave no one a chance to die for them? What if both Chosen Ones died as children?
--
There was no prophesied boy, but there was still this--dozens of shadowed young faces refusing to run, even at the very end of the world. Dumbledore looked out at his chess pieces, pawns and queens; his children and his friends; his collateral damage. He had the beginnings of a plan swelling in his chest.It would take them decades to get their hands, quietly, on every Horcrux. Tom Riddle had to think they were secret. He had to think he was safe. It would take them almost decades, but one day he would be mortal again.
These dozens of faces--they were mortal now. Alastor Moody could feel mortality in the aches of old broken bones; Andromeda rewrote her own last name. Remus and Sirius felt empty, gaping holes in the seats around them, and they made crude, expansive, joyous toasts to friends' memories.
When Molly first reached over and held Arthur's hand, they knew this was something that could not last. That was why they held hands, held on, held tight.
no place like home
When Petunia Dursley refused to take Harry in she forfeited his birthright protection, so Dumbledore took the baby to the safest place he knew: Hogwarts.
The applicable staff (mostly just… not Snape) took Harry in on a rotating schedule as he grew from baby to toddler to child. They traded extra credit for babysitting among the older students, and Harry grew up knowing a few dozen different laps that were safe and warm to nap in.
This was a Harry who grew up among books, among old transient walls and learned professors. They gave Binns night duty sometimes, and let him talk young Harry to sleep. This was a Harry whose world changed, on principle, daily. The stairs moved. The walls became doors. You had to keep your eyes open–you had to pay attention. So he did.
He grew up in a school. Knowledge was power, but knowledge was also joy. This was his sanctuary. There was magic in his world from birth.
the family evans
What if, when Petunia Dursley found a little boy on her front doorstep, she took him in? Not into the cupboard under the stairs, not into a twisted childhood of tarnished worth and neglect—what if she took him in?
Petunia was jealous, selfish and vicious. We will not pretend she wasn’t. She looked at that boy on her doorstep and thought about her Dudders, barely a month older than this boy. She looked at his eyes and her stomach turned over and over. (Severus Snape saved Harry’s life for his eyes. Let’s have Petunia save it despite them).
Let’s tell a story where Petunia Dursley found a baby boy on her doorstep and hated his eyes—she hated them. She took him in and fed him and changed him and got him his shots, and she hated his eyes up until the day she looked at the boy and saw her nephew, not her sister’s shadow. When Harry was two and Vernon Dursley bought Dudley a toy car and Harry a fast food meal with a toy with parts he could choke on Petunia packed her things and got a divorce.
the heir of something or other
When kids in the Slytherin Common Room tossed jeers at the pudgy feet of Millicent Bulstrode, Harry rose up to do something about it. This Harry, now one of Snape’s own, got fewer House points lost but many more detentions– it had never been the colors on his hem that Severus hated.
This was not wishing Harry an easy path. This was not wishing the boy a warm House. This was Harry, three weeks in, sleep deprived and considering running away and going back to Privet Drive. This was Harry in the back of Potions class, blank-faced under Snape’s disdain the way he’d perfected under the Dursleys’s torments.
When Quirrell shouted “troll in the dungeons, thought you ought to know,” and Harry overheard that there was a girl in the bathroom crying, he still ran off to make sure she got out okay. He hesitated first, at the back of the little pack of Slytherin first years (at the back so that no one could get behind him)– he hesitated.
And Millicent Bulstrode, who could never quite keep her tummy tucked in enough, could never brush all the cat hair off her robes, never quite keep her temper in check, hesitated, too.
he will have power the dark lord knows not
It was Mrs. Figg who suspected first.
She noticed many things, sitting on her side of her fence with her cats chasing butterflies and nuzzling her ankles, Mundungus and the other watchers dropping by for tea now and then.
Mrs. Figg noticed that Petunia was a nosy bit of work with insecurities hanging from her every harsh angle. She noticed when Dudley learned the word MINE-- the whole neighborhood noticed that one. She noticed that Vernon glared at owls.
She noticed that when Petunia gave Harry a truly horrendous haircut one year, it grew back in at a normal rate. Harry was uneven and weird-looking for ages, hiding under beanies when he could.
When Mrs. Figg had Harry over for carefully miserable afternoons of babysitting, she noticed nothing moved that shouldn't. He didn't accidentally make flowers out of fallen leaves, or levitate anything during tantrums, or turn toys funny colors.
Mrs. Figg called up her mother, interrupting the wizarding bridge game she was winning against the nursing home staff, and asked her how she had known, decades back, that her youngest daughter was a squib.
the girl who lived
Harriet Lily Potter was left on the doorstep of 4 Privet Drive. They called her ugly and gave her Dudley's hand-me-downs. They would tell people that she went to a boarding school for troubled young women. Dudley still offered to stick her head in toilets, and she still learned to snap back, "Really, Duds? The poor toilet's never had anything as nasty as your head down it, it might hurt it," and run.
Harry was the kind of girl who came home with scabby knees, who snuck the kitchen shears in the dead of night to snip her dark messy hair short.
She wondered, as she curled up in her cupboard, if Vernon and Petunia would have loved a niece who was pretty instead of scrappy, who had soft hands and never burned the bacon at breakfast.
the girl who lived (again)
Molly tried her best. When Harry had told them, Arthur had asked excitedly, "is this a Muggle thing?" Hermione had hurried out a "no!" and a frantic history of gender diversity in the wizarding world.
"It's just that I'm a girl," Harry had said, and Arthur had nodded and asked her about how telephone booths worked. He would call her by the right pronouns until the day he died at the respectable old age of one hundred and thirty three, and he would make it seem easy.
But Molly had to try. Hermione explained things faster and higher-pitched every time Molly messed up a pronoun. Molly frowned and muttered and put extra potatoes on Harry's plate at breakfast. Harry slept in Ron's room, which didn't bother either of them but which made Hermione scowl.
Harry got boxes of sweets and warm hugs, as Molly chewed things over. For her fifteenth Christmas, the Weasley sweater she would receive would be a bright, friendly, terrible pink.
The next time Harry visited, Molly put her on Ginny's floor to sleep-- for some definition of sleep that involved Hermione hissing threats at three in the morning if Harry and Ginny didn't "shut up about Wronski feints, do you know what time it is."
the last son
On the train platform, Harry suffered a hug from Remus, a hair ruffle from Sirius, and a "don't do anything I wouldn't do" from his mother, and then he ran for the brick wall, cart rattling before him. The snowy owl they'd gotten him hooted softly in protest. Harry had named her Ororo after the Muggle comic books his mother had introduced him to. Lily took Harry to the comic store every time he sat through a whole visit with his aunt, uncle, and cousin and didn't kick anybody unless they kicked him first.
Bill tried to wipe some dirt off a dodging Ron's nose. Ginny complained loudly about being left behind. Fred and George ran off to see Lee Jordan's spider. People watched the Weasleys from all directions--they were hard to miss--and Ron's shoulders slowly rose up and up to his reddening ears. He missed the big empty orchards behind the Burrow already.
Ron was one of the last people on the train. He slid past staring eyes and finally stepped himself into an almost unoccupied compartment-- there was just one small boy tucked in there. He had messy dark hair, slightly askew round glasses, and a comic book held up in front of his nose.
"Is it okay if I sit here?" said Ron. "Everywhere else is full."
the brightest witch of her age
When Hermione Jean Granger was one year old her parents died in a car crash. She knew all about it because she asked a lot of questions and her aunt and uncle believed in answering them.
Why is the sky blue, auntie? Why are b's and d's like in the mirror? Where do songs come from? Why did Jenny Hopkins call me a--?
Her father had accelerated into a green light, like you were supposed to. (By the time she was eight, Hermione had the driver's rulebook memorized). A truck driver, going the opposite way, hadn't stopped at a red.
Hermione had been strapped in a car seat in the back, her aunt and uncle told her. She hadn't been hurt at all except for the scar that stood out, jagged, on her forehead.
As Hermione grew up into a gangly, bushy-haired, buck-toothed wonder, she thought she could remember it-- a glaring green light, a rush of cold air.
baby birds and other adventures
Harry did not know this and would not know this until Mrs. Granger mentioned it casually over a Christmas dinner years and years later-- but she and Mr. Granger reported the Dursleys for child abuse and neglect, over and over.
The reports got lost-- minds scrubbed down, papers vanished-- but they kept calling in reports. They considered kidnapping. They couldn't imagine why the wizarding world might want to keep their chosen one somewhere so toxic, why they might want to keep this underfed child and his messy hair with those people.
"My mother left me a blood protection spell," said Harry, whose scar had not ached in years. He poked at his mashed potatoes under the focused attention of Mrs. Granger's stern little forehead wrinkle. "I had to live with family, blood family."
"Then they should have made them treat you right," Mrs. Granger said, as though it was that simple.
Mr. Granger gave Harry another helping of peas.
the family potter
Lily remembered her sister, how there had been a time she was curious and delighted about magic, before it slowly sank in that she could look and not touch.
The last thing Petunia had said to Lily before she died was a chilly goodbye, ending a holiday dinner where they'd had a shrieking row in the entryway. Petunia had said 'freak' and Lily had hissed 'better than this, better than this being my whole fucking world, Tune, do you even see yourself, are you happy--'
And now here was Dudley Vernon Dursley fussing himself to sleep as Lily walked the halls of the Godric's Hollow house. His tiny soft hands with their tiny soft fingernails curled under her chin, the same way Harry's always had.
She passed James, who was gently bouncing his way up the hall the opposite way. "I think he's asleep," James mouthed over Harry's tousled head. His hair was the same mess, his head bent down as he peered at his sleeping son.
Lily stopped where she stood, her nephew heavy on her chest, her husband smiling, her sister buried. "James," she said. "How are we going to do this?"
perfectly normal, thank you very much
When the letter arrives, Lily is almost as excited as Petunia. She writes Albus Dumbledore to ask if she can go too, and if she cries a little when the answer comes back no she doesn't tell anyone. Lily waves from the train platform, writes diligently, and listens with excitement whenever her big sister deigns to share stories of magic.

Anonymous asked for "what if Petunia was a witch and Lily a Muggle?"the family potter [podfic]
When Harry was eleven years old, his Hogwarts letter came by owl. He'd been accidentally blowing windows open and lighting cauliflower on fire for years. James took Harry to go get his wand at Ollivanders, and Lily took Dudley to the Owl Emporium where he tried to convince her they should build an aviary in the backyard. They came home with a fat black cat who hissed at everyone. Dudley named him Spooks, and Lily called him Monster.
"Did you have to?" said James. "That is the meanest beast I've ever met, and I've known Remus unmedicated on full moons and a pubescent Sirius thwarted in love."
Lily, who had ink on her cheek and a ballpoint pen stuck behind her ear, waved vaguely at the living room without looking up from her arrest report. Dudley was asleep in an armchair. The cat sprawled across his lap. Both its front paws were wrapped around Dudley's arm as it cleaned his wrist with aggressive fondness.
"Alright," said James. "Yeah, you had to."
a life of smoke and silvered glass
Albus Dumbledore rose to his feet, smiling at them in that way of his, like he knew something you didn't and he was proud of you for it. "Friends," he began.
The door thudded open and the Marauders burst in, late and pink-cheeked with cold. The headmaster smiled at them, too, and Sirius gave a cheery little salute back.
Severus sunk lower in his chair, staring witheringly over his butterbeer. "You told Potter about it, too?"
"He might as well put all that energy to good use," said Lily. "And, to be accurate, I told Remus."
"But Potter, really?" said Severus.
"He and Black cooked up a jinx that gives you a boil every time you say a slur to a Muggleborn," said Lily. "It was either invite them to Alice's war club or bake them cookies, and I know where my skills lie."
Severus sniffed. "Don't come crying to me if he tugs your pigtails."
"Come crying to me if he pulls yours, and I'll deck him," said Lily.
(Slight AU in which Severus apologizes, tries harder, and stays friends with Lily)
yer a wizard, dudley
Harry Potter spent his eleventh birthday in a cabin on a tiny rock in the middle of the sea, listening to his cousin snore on the couch.
When a knock sounded on the wind-swept, rain-drenched door, it was not a giant fist (or a half-giant's fist). It was a short sharp rap that sounded once, twice, three times before Minerva McGonagall simply charmed the lock open and stepped inside.
"Apologies," Minerva said crisply, as Vernon raced out brandishing his rifle and Petunia pulled Dudley up off the couch and behind her. "I wasn't sure you could hear me over the weather.” The rain fell down behind the professor in a roar. She was perfectly dry.
Minerva fished in her pocket without looking, because the only things allowed in her pockets were only ever exactly what she needed. “I've come to deliver this," she said, pulling out a letter and handing it to Harry, who was cross-legged on the floor, "because our owl post seems to have been unable to get through.”
“And I've come to deliver this," she added, pulling out a second letter, "because Hogwarts by-laws require a professor to hand-deliver acceptance letters to Muggleborn families for their explanation and comfort."
a snake in the den
you know what would have been great? if ron got sorted into slytherin.
imagine– we have this kid on the train, the first friend harry meets, with his corned beef sandwiches and smudged nose. ron is eleven years old and he wants gryffindor, because he’s a weasley and that’s what always happens. but it doesn’t happen.
what a way to redeem slytherin house– or, god, at least complicate it. because ron is petty. he is mean and sharp and ambitious and jealous– and he is loyal to the ends of the earth. he is all those things, and he is and always has been good.
potter becomes before weasley in the alphabet, so harry says not slytherin please and gets told might as well be gryffindor. percy and fred and george are all sitting there in red and gold, ruffling the already-ruffled hair of the boy who lived, smug, and then ron sits down and the hat spits out slytherin!
neither red nor gold
When news had come home that Bill had gotten Ravenclaw, Arthur and Molly had shared a look but sent Bill a congratulatory letter and some newly knitted blue mittens. “He was always too smart for me,” Arthur had said, and Molly had hummed.
“Hufflepuff, it’s a… nice… House,” Molly had said the next year, searching in her knitting basket for a shade of yellow she didn’t dislike too badly while Arthur looked over the friendly little missive from Pomona Sprout. How had she ended up with so many ugly threads? They must have been gifts; she wouldn’t have bought this pastel mustard skein, even at a 90% discount.
“You know,” said Arthur, later, as they watched the Express carry Percy away to his first year at Hogwarts. “I don’t think Perce is gonna be the one to break the streak.”
“So it’s a streak, is it?” Molly said, keeping an eye on the twins, who were chasing pigeons she was hoping they wouldn’t manage to catch. It was making Ginny’s day, though, the little girl covering her laughter with her fists, so she wasn’t stopping them yet.
“I think it is now,” he said.

Summary
Twenty-one-year-old Harry Potter didn't have much, but he worked hard for what he did have. His life was simple: wake up, go to work, pay bills, feed his cat, feed himself, sleep.
Simple...until one day when a blonde-haired man dressed to the nines slips into the pub Harry works at and offers him a job that turns his mundane life on its head.
Draco Malfoy might be attractive and alluring (not to mention great in bed), but the deeper Harry falls into his world, the more he can't help but wonder if the rumors surrounding the Malfoy's ties to organized crime are true.

Summary
Before he knew it, Harry was having to force himself not to shudder, either in pleasure or revulsion he didn't know -although he was more than willing to bet that it was revulsion-, as Malfoy leaned his slightly pointy chin on the top of his rapidly rising and falling shoulder and brought his mouth so close to the side his head, that Harry swore he could feel the fluttering of those surprisingly soft lips barely brushing the shell of his ear.
"What's wrong, Potter?" whispered Malfoy, catching Harry off guard with how breathless and excited his voice was. "Vampire got your tongue?"
And then he licked a tentative and long, fire-hot trail up the outer shell of Harry's ear with the tip of his searing wet tongue.
Or, in other words, Harry is a unique and highly rare submissive creature/being and Draco is his dominant vampire mate. Enjoy!
Entire concept of Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling!

The entire series is set immediately after DH. It's EWE and slash, so don't say I didn't warn you!Part II of VI:

In September, they will return to school and face what post-war Hogwarts has in store for them.Seven Days To The Wolves - It Started In The Hallway, Part III
Set immediately after the events of "Part II - A New Era". Draco seems to have a stalker who is jealous of his relationship with Harry. That, however, is not the biggest problem: The number of newly turned werewolves keeps rising and everything points to Fenrir Greyback...
In A Mirror, Darkly
The Dursleys don’t treat Harry well. When he manages four days without being punished for something, Harry feels brave and tries to steal food from the kitchen. Uncle Vernon has one drink too many and decides to teach Harry a lesson. It won’t be the last time.
This is a mirror universe to It Started In A Hallway. Everything will make sense in part II.

Harry’s thoughts are elsewhere when he inspects a mirror in the Department of Mysteries and he finds himself in another universe where minor differences in the past changed the present to a great extent.Can be read without having read either prequel. If the non-con warning for part I throws you off, there is a non-graphic summary of chapters 1 and 2 (where the underage rape happens) in the notes to chapter 3!
