"1000 Points from Gryffindor
by orphan account
The story of how Harry Potter single-handedly lost Gryffindor the House Cup while attempting to have a “normal” year at Hogwarts. Featuring Harry's suspicious nature turned up to eleven again, a new DADA teacher who is so not here for Harry’s fame, multiple detentions, Slytherins being sneaky, Hufflepuffs being sneakier, and the mystery of Draco Malfoy's hoodie because seriously Hermione who gave that to him and is he wearing it just to torment me? This is ridiculous!

"A Private Reason for This"
by Femme (femmequixotic)
When the wife of a star politician in the Scottish Ministry turns up dead just outside Hogsmeade, Draco Malfoy and his murder investigation team are called in from the Edinburgh Auror force to find her killer. What DCI Malfoy doesn't expect, however, is to have an ex from two decades past end up in his murder room, endangering not only his case, but also his heart.

"All Lost Things"
by Aterovis
Blood covered everything in the small room, an incredible amount of blood. It splattered the walls, covered the floor and even dripped from the ceiling. The smell was nauseating, overwhelming the senses with its metallic bite. It was amazing to think that so much blood could come from one person, but there was only one body in evidence.
The body, it could no longer be called a person, all that had made it a person - the spark and soul that makes one alive - was gone. What was left was just an empty shell. This one more empty than most. The head had been nearly severed from the neck and that only after it had been hacked and chopped repeatedly. It lay now in a grotesque heap in the middle of the room.
It would have been easy and strangely satisfying to leave it like that for someone to find. And it wouldn't have been right away either. The person the body had once been was not the type of person anyone would miss, or if they did it would only be to appreciate the fact that he was absent. The idea of someone else witnessing his bloody and undignified end was very compelling but it was too much of a risk. As careful as one was, you just couldn't be sure what kind of evidence had been left behind. If even half of what they showed on TV was true then those forensic investigators could practically work magic. No, it was too big a risk.
Gasoline splashed across the floor, mingling with the blood and overpowering the smell of death.

"Antediluvia"
by zeitgeistic
Everyone always forgets about the Merpeople. So did Harry until the day his, Lee’s, and Hermione’s Portkeys land at Reagan National Airport’s Arrivals dais. He’s just had to leave a job he loves and pack his entire life—literally—into his luggage. Then Malfoy and his subplots arrive, and suddenly, saving the world again, one Mermaid at a time, sounds like the perfect excuse to do something he’s always wanted.
The one with mermaids and DC.

"Antonym of Silence"
by XxTheDarkLordxX
No witnesses, no sign of a break-in, wards intact and a missing person. Just what happened to Draco Malfoy? Was he even still alive? All Harry's got to go off of is a wrecked house, a silent painting, and a journal full of private emotions. Is it enough? Or will Malfoy remain a mystery unsolved?
Completed reading this on 20 June 2021 ... jury is still out.

"The Azkaban Letters" (WIP 2024)
Harry and Draco’s lives are headed in two different directions. One is destined for death or glory, while the other is going to Azkaban. Harry needs answers, and he goes to visit his Slytherin nemesis while being held for trial. The meetings in a barren, white cell changes Harry’s life. He learns the beginnings of his rich family history that had been denied him. And that there's much more to fight for than just ridding the world of Voldemort. HBP compliant.

"Azoth"
by zeitgeistic
Now that Harry is back at Hogwarts with Hermione for eighth year, he realises that something’s missing from his life, and it either has to do with Ron, his boggart, Snape, or Malfoy. Furthermore, what, exactly, does it mean when one’s life is defined by the desire to simultaneously impress and annoy a portrait? Harry has no idea; he’s too busy trying not to be in love with Malfoy to care.

"Bashing a Queer"
by Nigel Gordon
"Oh, my God," Barry exclaimed, as he watched the new boy mince across the yard and into the school entrance, "I don't believe it."
"Did you see what he was wearing?" Grant asked, not certain he could believe his eyes. Nobody, but nobody could be that stupid; everybody knew how Barry felt about queers after one of them had made a pass at him. And everybody knew that Barry was the boss around here.
"Yes, a fucking Gay Rainbow badge. He's going to get it. This is going to be fun."
"Careful Barry, you're on your last warning about bullying."
"I know, but I'm not putting up with queers around here. We'll have to take him off school premises. Paul, find out where he lives." The fourteen-year-old, the youngest of the Q boys, nodded, wondering why Barry always picked him for that sort of job.

"CONTROL and KAOS"
by David Buffet
That was why EJ had suggested he switch to boys -- at least for the next one. Girlfriends were great, EJ had said, but they were very high-maintenance, and this was a year that was too busy to be worrying about stupid shit like that. They were seniors. This year was supposed to be fun!
"Boys would probably be easier," he had said. "Make them cum and they're happy." Topher laughed at this, pointing out that he was much the same. "That's the whole idea," said EJ. "You don't have to spend all your time worrying about what they're thinking or what they want. Girls are fucking baffling."

"Coup de Grâce"
by FibromyalGIA
Harry Potter is dead and Voldemort has won-- at least that's what everyone's been told to believe. The world is at war, Hogwarts is more dangerous than ever, and Draco Malfoy finds himself part of a group of rebels, hell-bent on fighting back against the system of oppression now in place. Their numbers are small and hope is difficult to hold onto, but Draco is willing to risk his entire life in order to change the world for the better. He hadn't wanted things to be this way... not really.

"The Cowardly Lion (A Drarry AU: Book One)"
by hermione_writes
(No longer online)
Draco Malfoy has played Quidditch since he was a little boy. He's been tutored in Potions since he was little by his godfather, Severus Snape. He's been told all about the savage oaf Hagrid, how Muggle-borns are inferior to purebloods like himself, and how blood-traitors are simply horrible human beings. All Draco knows is a miserable life with parents who don't show their love very often, a father who enjoys cursing him as punishment, and "friends" who are more like minions. Draco's room is so big it feels empty most of the time. Draco has never been the most courageous of wizards.
Harry Potter has never played a sport while flying on a broomstick. He's never worn a cloak of invisibility, befriended a giant, or helped hatch a dragon. All Harry knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. Harry's room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn't had birthday party in eleven years.
But what will happen when Draco gets Sorted into Gryffindor, Harry refuses to believe Draco's a bad person, a Muggle-born girl is smarter than Draco was told any Muggle-born could ever be, a blood-traitor is understanding of Draco's situation, the only friends Draco ever had turn into bullies, and Draco realizes that maybe he has never held the same beliefs as his father?
Note: Apparently "HarryPotterFanFiction.com" has gone dark. That's where this story was originally housed. I'll keep searching. There is a story by Lomonaaeren, but the plot is very different.

"Fire"
by Str8mayb
Me and my big mouth. I just had to get all full of self pity and whine to my friend Linda that my life was over and all a waste. You see, I’m a 27-year-old ex-school teacher. Yeah, ex. Last summer while visiting my sister in Birmingham, Alabama a drunk driver ran off the road and three yards later stopped on me. My back is now a mess. I set off all the alarms in airports and courthouses. The up side is the drunk was old money so now I’m new money (well I can live comfortably anyway). Anyway back to my big mouth. I’m complaining that I have this nice four bedroom house (was my grandparents) with a nice piece of land and I can’t do anything.
Linda says she can fix that if I want. So, BIG MOUTH me, tells her to go for it. A mere two weeks later she has me set up as a foster parent. No little ones just ages 9 and up. Since I’m a single male, no girls. When Linda had everything all legal, she gave me a plaque that says “Lee’s Boys Club.” We had a good laugh at that.
I’m not laughing now, I’m sweating. Tuesday afternoon the middle of October and Linda just called, and is bringing over my first foster son.
I started reading this story on Nifty, then I discovered AC's Corner Cafe and there is a ton of shit going on over there. Tons of authors and tons of stories. I'm a new fan!

"David made wrong choices and then have to live with them. He had let people arrange his life, from his job to his sexuality, and the frustration of it all was eating him alive."
Marcus slammed his laptop shut. What a bunch of whining drivel. He didn't want to write about himself. There was nothing to say. If he kept this up much longer, he'd never ever get his novel written. He was just putting his frustrations on the screen. No one wanted to read about his screwed up life.

College
Thanks Don!
It is Saturday mid-morning and I'm standing in front of Roberts Hall, which is suppose to be my temporary home as I begin my college education. I'm not pleased. It's suppose to be a temporary residence, because my Dad and Brad have decided I am going to pledge to Delta Phi Delta and once I become a member, move into the Fraternity House. It's a tradition. Dad has been a DPD since he attended this college and Brad is currently a Brother, starting his third year of studies.
I'm not pleased, because I have no intention of pledging DPD as is expected and I had anticipated Roberts Hall would become my permanent 'home away from home'. The problem is simple. It turns out this is a jock hotel and I don't want to live in a jock hotel, which is also one of the reasons I don't want to pledge DPD, the best known and most esteemed Frat for athletes on the east coast.

Draco's in a bit of a rut. He's nearing forty, divorced, and he still can't figure out how to make his Time Turner reconstruction work.

That is, until he ends up relying on a nineteen-year-old Harry Potter for help and starts developing some very inconvenient—and possibly reciprocated—feelings.

When we graduated in 1961, we were like most grads I think. We were going to change the world, discover a cure for cancer, win a Nobel prize, be heralded as the greatest engineers ever to live. Well, we didn't do all that; we didn't do any of that! We never even got to graduate school like we'd intended. But we managed to find happiness and I think you'll agree that's something that is all too rare these days. I am still happy today... perhaps happier than I've ever been! I still cannot hold LilCharlie in my arms and feed him or sing to him without tears in my eyes. Cathy, recalling how my father acted, misinterpreted those tears. She thought I was thinking things like "I'll never live to see him grow up!" etc, etc. I assured her that is not the case. I am simply overwhelmed with emotion whenever I look into his face. My daughter named her first son after her faggot father!

Rob was hungry for sex; the frustration of finding someone willing had been driving him mad. He knew his chances of doing the full thing were pretty slim at the moment. There was something wrong, but he didn’t know quite what it was just yet. He hadn’t been able to get fully aroused on the last occasion, even though it had virtually been handed to him on a plate. But then maybe that was because he felt too many demands were being placed on him. He’d been secretly scared, knowing he was expected to make the first move.

"OR."
by zeitgeistic
He should've told him. Or he should've quit. Or he should've said something. Or he should've stopped it. Or he should've done something. Or he should've said anything.
The premise of this story is a forced/accidental love bond. It is not between Harry and Draco. There are no sexual "actions" between the two bonded, but there is going to be a lot of angst caused by this bond until it's resolved. If you can't bear the idea of Harry or Draco being accidentally bonded to someone else, this is not the story for you.

"Origins"
by ivyblossom
It started as a rumour on the Hogwarts Express. Billy Huggins, a sixth year Ravenclaw, had been visiting with his great-uncle Benny, one of the most renowned pranksters in Ravenclaw history (and, incidentally, the only wizard to date to swim across the English Channel), and over the summer he had learned one of the legendary and wholly illegal Hogwarts' student capers; Balineum Abnocto, popularly known as the Swimming Hole spell. The lake that the first years ritually traveled across by boat every year was not the most inviting place to swim at the best of times; it was filled with all kinds of nasties with tentacles, poisoned spines, exploding glands, spiked tongues, iron fangs, and other, darker things that upper years whispered into the ears of new students on the train. "Don't fall in!" So rumour had it that that Billy Huggins intended cast the spell on the lake by the docks that night after dark, allowing a few lucky students the chance to enjoy a couple of hours of fun in the otherwise inaccessible water. It's time for nightswimming.

"The Pendulum of Choice"
by Rushlight
From the author: I plotted out this series during the long and barren wait for HBP to come out (yes, it's really been that long since I started writing this). What this means is that at the time, I'd never heard of a Horcrux. I thought about changing certain parts of the storyline as that part of canon unfolded, but then I figured hey, these are all alternate universes anyway, right? So maybe Horcruxes don't exist here, or else the diary was the only one.... In any case, let's all just pretend they aren't as important as they are in JKR's world, 'kay?
General Caveat: Here you will find pairings for Harry/just about everyone you can think of (along with other varied m/m pairings). There is noncon and death and angst and other assorted nastiness. On the flip side, there is also love and humor and hope and trust. Ratings range between episodes from G to NC-17.

"Speedo"
by Matt Johnson
All of the lifeguards wear red swimsuits. It's our uniform. It's just that he was the only one I've ever seen in a Speedo. And boy did he fill it up. I could clearly see the outline of his cock. It was pointing toward his left hip. His swimsuit fit him so tightly that I could even tell he was circumcised. Before he could figure out that this black boy was perving on him, I had to make myself look away. It was the most awkward moment of my life.
To make matters worse, he was amazingly upbeat and friendly--the most instantly likable person I've ever met. "Hey, I'm the new lifeguard. Everyone calls me Speedo," he said extending his fist for a bump.

"Shibboleths"
by zeitgeistic
Muggle Immersion co-Professor Harry Potter spends his days hanging with his son, reading to his "dog," teaching magical kids about the internet with his cousin Dudley, and irritating Snape’s portrait. He’s understandably annoyed when his cosy life is interrupted by the Headmistress hiring on Draco Malfoy to be Hogwarts’ new Ancient Magical Cultures and Spellcasting professor. But then the explosion happens, and it turns out they'll all need Malfoy's knowledge if they want the magical world to survive.
The one with the scary things and Professor Dudley.

Soup-pocalypse and The Great Curry Cataclysm
by SquadOfCats
Eleven years after the war, Draco Malfoy leads a quiet, boring, and perfectly respectable life, thanks very much. Or, at least he does, until a sudden and very unexpected veela awakening causes him to throw soup all over Harry Potter in the middle of the Ministry cafeteria.
Something to consider: This is a Veela fic. I think it is a bit atypical for veela fics? It hits some of the classic veela tropes but not others. Just fyi as you go into this, this is not going to be the most veela-y veela fic you've ever seen.

"Star Quality"
by who-la-hoop
Two years after the war, and Harry’s content with his life. OK, so it’s a little annoying that he keeps winning Witch Weekly’s Most Eligible Bachelor award, and he’s really not looking forward to the unveiling of an enormous gold statue of himself, but he loves his friends, and he loves being an Auror. And if he yearns for something more, something he can barely bring himself to think about, well, he’ll probably get over it. No one’s happy all the time, are they? But then everything changes, and Harry’s thrown into a new and dazzling world he’s not sure he can actually escape from. And as time goes on, he starts to wonder: does he actually want to?

Stronger (Unbroken) ((REMADE))
by bafflinghaze
After months of being experimented on, Draco finally escapes...only to be locked up in a Ministry cell. But he knows he’s been changed: his magic is wilder, stronger, what he needs to escape the Ministry and to hunt down his captors and torture them as they did him. But then he comes in contact with Auror Harry Potter, and things take a sharp twist.

"The Taste of Magic"
by Romaine

"Things Worth Knowing"
by Femme (femmequixotic), noeon (noe)
After the Battle, Harry thinks he's left Hogwarts for good, but Minerva insists that all students return for an Eighth Year if they wish to sit for NEWTs in the spring, and Harry needs those NEWTs to go into the Aurors. Draco's just grateful not to be in Azkaban. Or the Manor. He's hoping he can steer clear of Potter this year and grapple with his own problems. Unfortunately for him, Potter appears to be one of those problems. And that's not even addressing the fact that Potter's got serious issues of his own, which Draco realises as he's forced to share an Eighth Year dormitory room and several classes with the Gryffindor Git. If only they can make it through the year without killing each other, it should be all right, shouldn't it?

"To Fulfill a Prophesy"
by LBJ
It was not like me, Benton Dean Hillsborough McAdams III, to interfere with someone else's business. In fact, of late, the only thing I was involved in at all was my own business. As Owner, Chairman and C.E.O. of a multi-faceted conglomerate and one of the wealthiest men on the North American continent, I had immersed myself in the day-to-day operation of my many businesses and industries. `McAdams Corp.' was a well known and highly respected name in corporate America and since picking up the reins, after the sudden death of my father three years ago, I had become as well respected in the business community. My dedication and management skill were acknowledged at the highest levels of national corporate management. I worked 18 hours a day, 7 days a week and ate, slept and breathed business. I was totally occupied in my corporation, earnings were at the best levels in 25 years and I felt isolated and totally miserable.
Thanks Don!

"Under Pressure"
by Corvette Clair
Draco Malfoy only smokes under pressure, and tonight he’s smoking like a stack. He’s stuck in an interrogation room with two hostile Aurors, trying to hide his identity and his Dark Mark, answering a lot of intrusive questions about an anonymous punter.
Turns out the man is missing. Turns out he may not be as anonymous as Draco thought. Turns out Draco is suspected of kidnapping the Savior of the Wizarding World, and if that doesn’t entitle him to a fag or two, what does?
OR
Harry Potter mysteriously disappears from a Knockturn Alley dive. His Auror colleagues, having no idea why he was there, go into a panic and start questioning everyone who came into contact with him. At the top of that list is the nameless sex worker last seen taking his money.

"We Are Young (I'll Carry You Home Tonight)"
by femmequixotic
From the author:
Harry and Draco have been falling into bed on and off again since the last election five years ago, much to the amusement--and financial gain--of their circle of friends. But when Harry agrees to work with Draco to put Kingsley Shacklebolt into the Minister's office, they can't work side-by-side again every day and sleep together; that would be courting disaster. Wouldn't it?
Warnings for emotional roller coasters, intense friendships, UST and sex and UST and sex, voyeurism, desperate kisses, Wizengamot elections, ongoing wagers, policy wonks behaving badly, mention of war crimes and police brutality, kittens, Blaise-as-Malcolm-Tucker, some bisexuality, lots of profanity (see Blaise-as-Malcolm-Tucker), the odd West Side Story reference.
This story is a love letter not only to a few places in London which are special to me for one reason or another but also to Harry and Draco themselves, who will always hold a deeply meaningful place in my heart, and to those of you reading who love them as well. Buckle up, darlings, it’s going to be a bumpy ride at times, but we’ll get there in one piece. Mostly. :)

"You cannot save people, you can only love them"
by heyitsamorette (AmoretteHD)
Upon returning for Eighth Year, there are so many strange things going on with Malfoy, Harry doesn’t know where to start. He won’t talk to Harry, but he’s talking to ghosts. He won’t apologize for his past, but the Black Family tapestry has crossed him off its tree. And the worst of it all, he still has that infuriating, snotty mouth on him that (gets Harry’s dick hard as a rock) drives Harry insane.
