These stories are still being written, so don't expect an ending. Check back from time to time and see if there is a new chapter. The best place to check is the home page under updates. Some stories appear to have been abandoned, but I'm leaving them on this page in the hopes that the author gets their motovation back. In the mean time, they continue to be great reads even though they are not quite complete. All of these stories feature Harry and Draco as the main characters. Be careful and read the story summary, because there are some stories where either Harry or Draco die (shudder). Some will make you laugh, cry, get hot and bothered or all at the same time. And, of course, there could be sex in these stories ;)
So have fun and read a story or two or three. And please report broken links here and make recommendations here.

“That’s not my life,” Draco says firmly. “It’s not. It’s someone else’s. Someone else lived this life for eight years, but it certainly wasn’t me. I don’t have a husband. I couldn’t... And if by some strange twist in reality I did, it certainly wouldn’t be… him.”
wendlaa is also the author of "A Guide to the Morphology of Magic" which is on the Ultimate Harry/Draco list. I enjoyed that story very much and am looking forward to more chapters of this story.

Note - 5 October 2022 - just re-read this story and I stand by my recommendation!
Author summary and comments: Finding himself saddled with Draco Malfoy is just about the last thing Harry expected to happen this year. Too bad ignoring the git is something he’s never been able to do. Horcruxes, war, and teenage hormones – no one ever said this would be easy! This is a post-HBP 7th year fic that is not compliant with Deathly Hallows at all. The first 16 chapters were written before that book even came out! Starts out slightly Harry/Ginny but doesn't stay that way for long. Mentions of past Draco/Pansy. Enjoy!

Draco walked confidently through the streets of Diagon Alley. No particular destination in mind. It was almost midday and the afternoon sun felt good on his skin. He was glad he decided to take a walk. After Scorpius left, the manor just seemed cold and uninviting. It was impossible for him to stay there and function properly. He wandered where his feet led him and wasn't too bothered at where he would end up. Well, that was before someone walked right into him and then fell on their ass. He glanced down and blinked. Then blinked again. The fates were definitely smiling down on him because at his feet looking all cute and rumpled was Harry Potter. His Harry.
Author summary: It's never too late to find love.

A prophecy, a bloodline. One path light, one path dark. One destined for success, one doomed to fail. This is an exploration of the fine line that exists between love & hate. Probably one of the more realistic Harry/Draco pieces you will stumble upon.

Myr has done such an excellent job, I just couldn't help but add this stupendous work to my list. "Parliament of Dreams" picks up just after "Goblet of Fire" (Book 4 in the Harry Potter Series) and focuses on Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts. The immensely popular Harry Potter series has many, many Fan Fic stories, and Myr's work, "Parliament of Dreams" is one of the best I've read. I can't go into the plot as I would spoil some really neat revelations, but, alas (as Dumbledore so often says), Harry and his archrival Draco Malfoy end up "together." Myr has an immense imagination that will have you thinking this is actually a HP book. You are going to love this tale!

Nervous about returning to Hogwarts for his 7th year, Draco is horrified to realise he is in love with Harry Potter. Harry is still consumed with guilt following the defeat of Voldemort and feels abandoned by his friends. Can Draco save him from himself?
Any story that starts out with "Oh shit!" has potential in my opinion. There's lots of fluff, but well told and it deals with some difficult issues. All in all, I'm enjoying the story and look forward to future chapters.

     As prophesized, Harry’s going to save the world. But nobody expected this: Harry playing by his own rules. Ministry and idiots be damned, Voldemort will be crushed. And along the way, our Savior finds love in the most unexpected places. HD, RevoluntionFic
     Interesting twist, but I kinda like the idea of a Harry that decides if he has to so something, he's going to do it his own way.
UPDATE - A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
     I've been feeling uninspired lately, so I've decided to change my pen name and put everything on hold except A Second Chance. I've also been affected by the coming transition to university and fear that I might have not enough time to update as regularly as possible. I need to revamp everything because of a slight change in style and maybe some stories will be deleted because I really don't have the time or the inspiration to carry on, but we shall see.
    So far I've decided to rewrite Black Lord's Rising, On the Edge of War, Sweet Enigma, Constantine's Heir, Era of Revolution and Hellhound. I have left these stories alone for too long and so I've lost the train of plot and the excitement that came along with writing new chapters.
     I apologize if this decision causes anyone disappointment but it must be done.
    On the other hand, this will most probably make my stories better. So please bear with me and I hope everything will turn out for the best.
    Yours Sincerely,
    Lex, now Obsidian. Snake and formerly Just.a.Slytherin

    WTF!?! Damn! And the story was really good (or it would not have ended up here). I'm gonna save all the chapters in case they get deleted. I'll try to keep up with this author and pass along any information I find. Thanks!

The world of Harry Potter is actually real. JK Rowling is a squib ... with a lot of poetic license. Harry needs to bring someone back to life to help him find the last horcrux. A muggle ritual expert is brought in to make it all happen. The chapters are long, the story is enticing and you'll enjoy the ride!

When Draco decides to go skiing, he doesn't plan on spending the night away from Hogwarts, but then it starts snowing again. Draco suddenly finds himself the victim of exposure ... freezing to death, Draco starts to panic ... but wait ... there's a cabin up ahead ... smoke from the chimney means a warm fire ... Draco makes his way to the door as fast as he can ... his teeth chatter as he pounds on the door ... warm air washes over him was the door opens and he looks up into the green eyes of ... Harry Potter.
This is awesome! I just wish Frances Potter would finish it! Read it. It's fantastic!

Draco Malfoy, on a mission for the dark lord, breaks into the Ministry of Magic but is caught. Trapped in The Time Room, Draco is frantic as the Aurors pound on the door. He is holding a very heavy hourglass and loses his footing. Crashing to the floor, Draco lands on the hourglass, smashing it to bits. The next thing Draco realizes is that he has been transported to the future ... a future where his lover is none other than The Boy Who Lived. Very cool story!

Ten years after the Second Wizarding War, a 28 year old Draco Malfoy is working at Flourish & Blotts. He lives with his roommate, Greg Goyle, across the street from his new best friend, Hannah Abbott. It is not the life he had envisioned when he was at Hogwarts, but it pays the bills.
His life is thrown into disarray after his ex-boyfriend, an Unspeakable, sends him an important package which results in the wizarding world's secrets becoming embedded in his mind. He soon wishes he could go back to the days when all he had to worry about was whether or not he would ever get the assistant manager position. Because now his days are filled with Unspeakable missions with his handlers, Harry Potter and Pansy Parkinson, and his cover story is that Potter is his boyfriend. And sometimes it feels like that cover is turning into something more.
