NGC Recs Pygmalion & Cyrano
For stories that at least include a variation of either Pygmalion or Cyrano.
Which is to say, someone matchmakes, coaches, or assists/wingmans for someone, often with the idea they will get together with someone else, but generally falls in love with one (or both) of them. Alternatively, they were in love, and through this assistance, they discover their feelings for that person paled in comparison to what they feel for someone else.

Summary
The first few times, it was kind of funny. After a while, however, it started to get a bit depressing. By the tenth time Harry won Witch Weekly’s Most Eligible Bachelor award, it was downright humiliating. But even that wouldn’t have been enough to get him to agree to Pansy Parkinson’s scheme to put him on a wizarding dating show—at least, not without the additions of a tearfully earnest Molly Weasley and one too many glasses of champagne.
Now, Harry finds himself the first-ever lead on ‘The Bachelor: Magical Edition’, produced by Pansy and Draco Malfoy, hosted by Blaise Zabini, and featuring fourteen wix of various backgrounds competing for his heart in front of the entire Wizarding world—one of whom he’s expected to find love with. So, you know. No pressure.
