Light in the Darkness by hermionescappuccino

"She could always help me find light in the darkness." -- Draco Malfoy |Drastoria| "They weren't thinking of the broken, fractured world they were living in. In that moment, they had each other, and that was enough." The world is shattered, reality fragmented. Harry Potter died during the battle of Hogwarts, Voldemort and his regime, the Augury, rule the wizarding world. The pureblooded class, however, is strong and powerful as ever. Expectations of decorum and poise are thrust upon any wizard who's last name is featured on the Sacred Twenty Eight. An elegance is required when attending the pureblood balls, hosted every week for the rich and elite. Expectations and elegance that Astoria Greengrass just can't seem to meet. A blood malediction looming over her -- her family's most closely guarded secret, a secret that could besmirch their entire family name -- she is forced to lie to protect. But when her fate intertwines with that of Draco Malfoy, she finds herself finally free, finally grounded. The only problem -- some secrets are just too complicated, and somethings in this twisted world are out of their control. part two in the 'Astoria Greengrass' series (companion book to Malediction: the love and life of Astoria Malfoy)

The survivors of the Second Wizarding War return to Hogwarts after a summer of rebuilding and healing. Harry had been offered a position for Auror Training, which he quickly declined in favor of one final year with his friends at Hogwarts. He hoped that the year would bring nothing but normalcy and quiet as he begins to move on. Draco had been pardoned after Harry Potter testified in his and his mother's defense during the Trials. He had been released from Azkaban on the condition that he return to Hogwarts and complete his final year. It would serve as part of his probation. With his father awaiting the Kiss and his mother a permanent prisoner in their own home, Draco struggles to find himself as he picks up the pieces of his life.

Fight For Your Life (A Drarry Story) by Patrick11Stump

It's a year after the second wizarding war, Lord Voldemort has been defeated, Harry Potter has come back to Hogwarts to finish his final year of school. Simple with no psychopaths breathing down his neck trying to kill him at every turn, no one trying to hurt him anymore. It's going to be the most normal year he's had. After his breakup with Ginny Weasley he doesn't want to get with anyone who just wants him for the fame. Many girls throw themselves at his feet, many boys try to get into his pants. None of them peak his interest very much. It's nothing with them, he just doesn't feel that pull to them, the pull that makes him want to be with them every second of the day. That's until a familiar pale blond with grey eyes says the right things that makes his heart beat faster and his breathing stutter. Will anything ever be the same in Hogwarts?

Hermione and her friends are invited back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for one more year following the Battle of Hogwarts. Of course, this excites Hermione. With the Dark Lord defeated and the Horcrux's destroyed, she and her friends are hoping for at least one normal year of school before they go into the world to do their own thing. The year, however will become anything but normal for Hermione, because of two things. An unexpected Death Eater rise and because of a boy. A boy she never expected... Draco Malfoy. *All characters and places belong to JK Rowling and not to me. This is just a fanfic*

All of the Stars by gabrielanelf

It has been five years since after the end of the Second Wizarding War, and the Malfoy heir found it ironic how he was expected to attend the fifth anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, remembering he was the one who let those foul Death Eaters entered the school. He was about to drink his sorrow away when he set his eyes on the most breathtaking person passing through his table. Little did he know that his life was about to take a turn led by the stars above. #3 dracolovestory #5 hpff #9 afterthewar /*Disclaimer: I do not own any of the original characters from the Harry Potter series.

Harry will do anything for the ones he loves. When Draco finally shows the good that Harry knew was hidden underneath, he makes it his new life purpose to be sure his former enemy doesn't fall back into his old ways, even if it means major discomfort for both men. With Draco sentenced to house arrest with community service, his mother paying her debt in another county, and his father in Azkaban, here's the start of tentative post-war friendship and maybe more between Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy.

Breathing out, Hermione took his hand and said, "Valet in lucem." Draco wrinkled his nose, looking up at her confused. "Was that an insult?" Hermione rolled her eyes. "No Draco, it's an old saying in Latin." "Well I don't speak Latin 'Mione." She huffed. "I said, Light Prevails Malfoy, because it always does." Hermione thought he might try to argue with her again, make her red in the face with anger but Draco paused when he opened his mouth. She waited in anticipation. His features seemed to soften a little as he stared at the ground. When his eyes came back up to meet her, she thought she might get lost in his gaze. "Light prevails." Leaning in slowly, Draco kissed her on the lips and Hermionie pulled him in. -x- Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger are far from friends, they're barely even acquaintances and if the two of them had their way, they would not be spending their final year at Hogwarts as Head Boy and Head Girl together. But as fate would have it, or rather McGonagoll, they are the top picks to keep the students at Hogwarts in check and out of harms way. Though the two of them might have something to say about that. Regardless, both Draco and Hermione accept their positions and try to move on from their old rivalry, close old wounds, and try to form some sort of friendship. But sometimes the past can't stay buried and old grudges die hard and despite not having to defeat a Dark Lord, their seventh year at Hogwarts may prove to be the hardest one yet.

LABYRINTH of HEARTS (DRARRY Romance) by Risa_Fey

Headcanon Premise: Harry and Draco were always in love or at least attracted to each other, even during (and partly because) of Draco's bullying. This story is canon-compliant and fits in with the books. Smut worth waiting for. Toxic love story with a happy ending. Hogwarts Years 1 - 8 ⚠️Hogwarts Era smut⚠️ [Available also on AO3 and FF.] This is a Harry/Draco romance set in the canon HP universe, covering all seven years of schooling as a series of Memory Vials. The plot is the love story and will go on through post-war, covering an 8th year of schooling. I'll be referencing the movies while I write, but it's recommended you read along with the original books to avoid loss of context, unless you read them already, which should suffice. As long as you know the books, you're prepared to read this fic. Content Warnings and Possible Triggers: vulgar language, very strong sexual content, mature themes, substance use, homophobic bullying/harassment, conversion therapy, morally ambiguous situations, etc... full warnings enumerated on AO3. The toxicity of Harry's and Draco's relationship might upset some readers, but there's plenty of beauty throughout. I don't whitewash either of their flaws.

After the Second Wizarding War and Hogwarts has been pieced back together to reopen- Hermione Granger makes the decision to finish her education as if all was normal in her world. What a better way to start of the beginning of the end as Head Girl. That is unless Head Boy turns out to be the biggest enemy at the entire school. Draco Malfoy knew he had made the wrong choice when he so foolishly agreed to redo his seventh year at Hogwarts. With the ghosts of his past looming over his head, he feels there's nothing rewarding about finishing what he started and there is no sunshine and rainbows when he is called upon by McGonagall to be Head Boy. How will his final year being amongst those who hate him go? And will he be able to find a friend amongst them? ATTENTION: I do not own any of the characters portrayed in this fanfiction!

Gold Tinted Spectacles (Hecatemus Book #1) by NatashaDuncanDrake

(Drarry) Harry Potter is about to enter his seventh year, and things are not quite what he expected. He is no longer the angry boy who watched his world fall apart at the end of his fifth year, but neither has he completely found his place yet. He is looking for something, and to his confusion it seems to involve Draco Malfoy. Set for revelations that will shake his whole world view, Harry must deal with unstable magic, far too many secrets, love, kidnapping, his dead godfather, and of course Voldemort and his lackeys. It's going to be a busy year. Pairing: Harry/Draco A/N: This story is set post OOTP and therefore has spoilers for that book and before, but prior to HBP, so those events did not happen. It was also written before HBP was published so takes into account no information learned from that book and what came after it, including such things as birthdays revealed on Pottermore.
