Summary
When Harry receives the news that he needs to get resorted after his name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, he thinks his world might end. His life, definitely, because of course he gets resorted into Slytherin. It's what the Sorting Hat had always wanted to do.
But maybe, just maybe, the Sorting Hat had been right from the very beginning. Maybe, Harry's life wasn't over, but it was just getting started. With new friendships made, secrets unveiled and knowledge gained, Harry has to decide if he is brave enough to leave everything behind; and maybe he will gain so much more.

Scientific Method Anthology by vogon_poet
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU, Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
07 Jun 2026
Summary
Tim is a wizard. He also has a lower tolerance for weird megalomaniacs and meddling adults than his friend Harry Potter. This... changes a few things.
AKA Tim goes to Hogwarts AU
Anthology containing:
Scientific Method
It’s not like he’s surprised a magic school exists— that’s probably only a seven on the scale of “crazy things Tim Drake has seen”. No, Tim’s just surprised he’s enrolled.
Theories of Time and Space
Enemies are gathering outside Hogwarts— and inside. Tim’s just trying to run his smuggling ring without getting busted by his Head of House. Is that a werewolf?

Warmth To Go Around by dronarry_mods, unsightlypearl
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
27 Mar 2026
Summary
The Minister for Magic sends Harry Potter, Auror; Ron Weasley, Healer; and Draco Malfoy, Magical Cartographer, to the Tian Shan mountains on a delicate assignment: map the leyline system beneath the Inylcheck Glacier.
Now they’re trapped in a tent at the edge of a glacier with no magic, no shower, no central heating… and years of unspoken things between them. Not to mention the tension after an ill-advised kiss.
It would be a straightforward mission… if the mountain didn’t seem determined to test every fault line between them.
Featuring: a volatile landscape, oddly-named cats, close nights in a tent, and three men who are very bad at talking about their feelings.

Summary
An eighth year story about post-war, memory, magic—and the family you never saw coming.
Harry and Draco are trying to survive eighth year at Hogwarts with the awkwardness of truce, the silence of shared trauma, and one strange magical accident that delivers them something neither was prepared for: three children who claim to be theirs.
Time has folded. The future is watching.
As they raise the boys who already know them—intimately, impossibly—Harry and Draco are forced to confront everything they’ve never said. About magic. About family. And about each other.
This is not the story of falling in love.
This is the story of becoming the people who can.Shelves: Harry Potter

Victoria Potter Anthology by NitwitBlubberOddmentTweak
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
10 Dec 2022
Summary
Anthology containing:
Victoria Potter and the Houses of Hogwarts
Victoria Potter had always known she was different. No matter how hard her Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia tried to pretend otherwise, she could do things they couldn’t, and see things they wouldn’t.
It was only when Professor McGonagall of Hogwarts School came to visit that she realised just how different she was. Sorted into Slytherin, in her first year at Hogwarts school she would find true friends, learn magic, and discover the secrets of the Houses of Hogwarts.
Magically talented, Slytherin fem!Harry. AU world with a canonical tone. No rehash of the stations of canon. No bashing. No kid politicians. No 11-year-old romances.
Victoria Potter and the Heir of Slytherin
After a relatively peaceful first year at Hogwarts, Victoria’s second year would prove rather more eventful. The mysterious Heir of Slytherin has returned to Hogwarts, and appears to have set their murderous sights on Victoria.
It will take all of Victoria’s resourcefulness to survive the Heir’s plans—if she isn’t too busy keeping on top of her burgeoning magical talent. Not to mention the growing interest from pure-blood society in the Girl Who Lived, rumoured to be attending the prestigious Malfoy Yule Ball as guest of honour…
Magically talented, Slytherin fem!Harry. AU world with a canonical tone. No rehash of the stations of canon. No bashing. First hints of age-appropriate politics and romance.
Victoria Potter and the Forbidden Mirror
Following a dramatic end to her second year at Hogwarts, Victoria’s contact with the magical world is abruptly cut off when she returns once again to her Muggle relatives for the summer.
On her return to school, she vows never to return to the Muggle world. Achieving this will take all her newfound determination, however, what with everything else going on. Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban. The Hogsmeade Summer Fête needs organising. Victoria’s teachers now expect greatness in her every class. Fortunately, she has Tom to help her…
Magically talented, Slytherin fem!Harry. AU world with a canonical tone. No rehash of the stations of canon. No bashing. Growing political and coming-of-age themes.

Summary
The case seemed simple: follow the corruption, bring down the source. Draco just didn’t anticipate Harry Potter crashing in, taking a break from red carpets and nudey-rudey photoshoots to make a giant mess.
Or: Draco is an Unspeakable. Potter is an (unfairly attractive) thorn in his side. Featuring: spies, action, disguises, forced proximity, pining and more!

Summary
Being able to turn into a dragon is not all its cracked up to be, not when Draco has to navigate an increasingly fractious Hogwarts, Death Eaters, and anti-Death Eaters—and lead his Slytherins to safety through all of it.
And if Potter becomes one of his Slytherins, then he’ll have to...treat him nicely too.

The castle and forest are full of dangers, and as Harry tries to fit into a world of elves, ghosts, and talking portraits, he'll find out if he's up to the challenge.
the deepening sky
Freeing the basilisk's eggs is Harry's priority, but other forces are pulling on the threads of his life: the nonhuman nations in the forest and under the lake, his promise to the elves, and a prophesied starchild, just to name a few. Fortunately, old and new friends will be there with him. Featuring wands, dreams, death quests, and deep magic.

Where Harry can stand up to him and their relationship doesn’t seem toxic? Where the surrounding events and characters don’t go unnoticed? I have, so I gave writing one a try.

Summary
Something sinister stirs in Hogwarts!
When magical creatures and students at the school are hit with a debilitating blood curse, Minerva McGonagall approaches the Ministry for help.
Star Auror Harry Potter seems to be the obvious choice to go undercover—as DADA Professor, naturally. He’s going to need the help of the Ministry’s foremost expert in blood magic to get to the bottom of the mystery, though, and he’s not entirely convinced that going back to Hogwarts with Draco Malfoy is a good idea.
Things are complicated between them—what’s new?—but they know they have to learn to work together (and keep their hands off each other in the corridors) in order to solve this case. Luckily for them, Hogwarts itself wants to lend a hand.
A tale of love, lessons, and learning to really live.

Summary
Draco left England after the trials and has travelled the world meeting wizards and Muggles from different cultures and with vastly different relationships to magic, each other, and the natural world. Now he's a fisherman in Finland on commercial vessels. Harry has been struggling since the war and has become a recluse while trying to write his autobiography. An invitation to the Hogwarts class of 1998's 15th reunion isn't welcomed by either of them, but neither could predict how the night, and their reunion, will upend their lives.

Centuries ago, marriage contracts were the norm — ready-made alliances between families, expected and complied with, without complaint. But norms have a way of changing, and when a long-dormant contract flares to life, Harry has to navigate an unexpected splintering of the path he'd thought would be easy after the war... with Draco Malfoy.

The war is over and Harry has returned to help rebuild Hogwarts. He longs to move forwards, but the past refuses to let him go. The castle is full of ghosts: haunting nightmares, the deaths he couldn't prevent, and the age-old rivalry that Draco Malfoy seems determined to maintain.

Summary
Something happened in the hours after the final battle, after the evacuation of the living and the dead. As the last of the survivors left the castle, and as the castle itself turned its wounded back on them all. The loss of Hogwarts has been felt by their entire community. And it’s something that needs to be put right.
Harry knows there’s nothing he can do to stop Hermione (war hero, historian, author of the reissued “Hogwarts: A History”) once she sets her mind to something. Even an extremely risky last-ditch effort to restore the ancient castle and lay its newest ghosts to rest. What he wasn’t counting on was her insistence that Draco Malfoy be part of the plan.
