Summary
An ultra slow burn Drarry that begins with a Fifth-Year retelling and continues through the final battle at Hogwarts.
Harry begins to distrust Dumbledore after the events of his fourth year, turning to an unlikely source for knowledge and information. The Occupation of Malfoy Manor by Voldemort leads Draco down a path that diverges significantly from the rest of his family. Harry being made a Prefect sets in motion a large rift in the Golden Trio, ultimately resulting in irreparable damage. Harry learns what real friendship is and who he can trust while making several self-discoveries along his path to rid the Wizarding World of Voldemort for good.
There are several plot points from the original source material that remain unchanged and are therefore only referenced and implied. While I don't care for the author's personal views, I enjoy her writing and will not be re-writing anything that happens as they appeared in the books. This fic is long enough as it is! There will be author notes for any chapter that includes or alludes to these scenes.
Please make note of the canonical character death tag and remember what happens in Order of the Phoenix.

Summary
A canon divergence beginning after the Third Task of the Goblet of Fire.
What if healing were possible?
Not the kind won in battles, but the quiet kind that begins when someone finally sees you as you are.
What if Harry — brave, shaken, only fourteen — were given a moment to breathe instead of more demands for strength?
And what if Severus Snape, worn thin by years in the shadows, no longer had to stand alone?In the aftermath of Cedric’s death, Hogwarts receives an unexpected presence: Helena, a healer whose craft is made of stillness and deep listening. Through her, Harry becomes more than the Boy Who Lived, and Snape more than a solitary sentinel.
A story where gentleness, presence, and connection shape the path forward — and where even in wartime, healing might change everything.

Summary
When Snape suddenly awards Hermione Granger house points, she takes notice. What begins as a mere curiosity quickly turns into a pattern—her once disdainful, arrogant professor now sees her for all she is worth. And Hermione realises that there is little she wouldn't do for praise from Hogwart's harshest professor.
When Voldemort tortures him after his return to corporeal form, Severus expects a broken body and weeks of pain. What he doesn't expect is a broken mind. How else could he explain his sudden memory loss or the strange, inapproptiate feelings he seems to be developing for Miss Granger?
When Severus' mind reveals the extent of his betrayal, Voldemort is resigned to kill his once trusted follower. After a prolonged Cruciatus, though, he discovers that he can easily slip into the other man's mind—and even control his words and actions. As he explores the world through Severus' eyes, Voldemort realises one thing: There is a highly intelligent, severly underappreciated young witch at Potter's side who is just begging to be turned into a weapon.
Starting in 5th year, Hermione Granger, Severus Snape, and Voldemort become inextricably linked to one another—and not everyone might survive the charade.

Summary
The summer before fifth year, Harry Potter learns the truth: magic is older, deeper, and far more dangerous than he ever imagined.
What he thought was survival becomes inheritance. What he thought was identity becomes legacy. And Hogwarts itself is waiting.
Between ancient Houses, tangled politics, and a bond he cannot ignore, Harry must decide who he is — and who he is willing to become.
This is not the story of the Boy Who Lived. This is the story of the Heir of Magick.

Summary
Years after Harry Potter disappeared and Voldemort won the war, minister and spy Severus Snape secretly rescues the starving and deeply injured hero, hoping to heal him despite the threat of being discovered, Harry's own violent hostility, and the strange magic Harry uses that makes everyone forget him.
Rebel leader Hermione Granger extorts prisoner Draco Malfoy's wealth for the failing resistance, but her side's ever-increasing losses may mean that any help will come too late. Her only way to rescue her friends might be to betray the spy who helped her throughout the war.
Resistance fighter Ron Weasley tries his best to be a hero in Harry's place, but after the end of his relationship with Hermione, the loss of so many people he loved, and his own failures, he begins to close off his heart and seek extreme ways to fix the wrongs in this terrible world.

Summary
Gabrielle Delacour was saved from the Black Lake by none other than Britain's notorious Harry Potter. Rather than put the boy on a pedestal, the precocious French witch becomes his pen pal, his friend, and then more.
The initial idea was to have the least creepy Gabrielle/Harry story I could, without wildly changing ages or anything. I've read a few fun romance stories with the pairing, but often Gabrielle is aged up or veela shenanigans are story elements.
At first I thought I could keep it tight to canon, but the truth is that as soon as Harry starts talking to, and trusting, people outside his friend group and Dumbledore, things deviate. Not to the extent of my other stories though.
All content is letters between Harry and Gabrielle. Communications mentioned but not shown between these two and other characters are left to the reader's imagination. Some letters between the two are skipped as well, usually for narrative purposes.
'Correspondants' is French for Pen Pals (according to the internet).

Summary
A queer/trans Dramione story: all "Draco" tags refer to Margo Malfoy-Black.
The Second Wizarding War is over, and the powers that be want to get everything "back to normal" as quickly as possible. The Golden Trio are war heroes, and Margo Black is doing what she can to restore honour to the Malfoy & Black family names, promote Muggle-world knowledge throughout the Wizarding World, and indulge her fascination with blending Maths and Magic. Unfortunately for her, her conduct during the War has left her with enemies on all fronts, including the inside of her own head. Will an Eighth Year at Hogwarts under Headmistress McGonagall bring her the closure she needs, or will her Death Eater past destroy all her dreams of happiness with Hermione Granger?

Summary
Draco’s plans for his future are cleanly laid out. He’ll follow his father’s footsteps in becoming a politician and Death Eater, thus marching alongside the Dark Lord for the new wizarding world. With the fear of his father’s disappointment and subsequent anger looming over him, he’s determined to prove himself and earn his place as the Malfoy heir.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t expecting Dumbledore to drop him in a realm filled with demons and witches and untold magic. Nor was he expecting to get kidnapped by an owl lady, her dog, and her muggle apprentice.
Least of all, he wasn’t expecting to gain his freedom and a true family.

Summary
In 1994, Cerridwyn Selwyn enters her first year as a potions apprentice, caught between the exhilaration of pursuing her long-desired path in potions and the dangers that lay ahead. Though her engagement to Snape remains hidden from the world, it complicates every aspect of her life—blurring the line between the professional and the romantic. As the Triwizard Tournament transforms Hogwarts into a stage of spectacle and danger, Cerri is thrust into responsibilities she never imagined having to balance her role as apprentice with looming threats on the horizon.
Surrounded by shifting loyalties and unspoken truths, Cerri must navigate not only the demands of her apprenticeship but the treacherous currents of a world tilting toward darkness. Haunted still by ghosts of her past, yet emboldened by her growing relationship with Severus, she begins to question how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice—for her future, for her heart, and for a wizarding world unraveling faster than she can hold it together.

Summary
After the Triwizard Tournament and Voldemort’s return, Harry is kept at Hogwarts for the summer. “For safety,” Dumbledore says, and “for duelling practice,” Snape adds, already resigned. Hogwarts in summer is quiet, strangely peaceful and unexpectedly shared.
Draco Malfoy is there too, carrying his own secrets and sharp edges. What begins as awkward coexistence slowly shifts into something gentler: late training sessions, hesitant understanding, and a friendship neither of them meant to form.
With Snape’s dry commentary, Dumbledore’s meddling, and the empty castle echoing around them, Harry and Draco find themselves healing in ways they didn’t know they needed and inching toward something more than either expected.A quiet summer.
A slow burn.
A discovery of something new.Series
