Summary
Harry only wanted a quiet place to think.
Draco only wanted somewhere no one would see him falling apart.
The Prefects’ Bathroom gives them neither—and somehow, everything.
In the growing shadows of sixth year, two boys who were never meant to understand each other find themselves meeting in the one place they can’t hide. And slowly, somewhere between the steam, the arguments, and the moments neither of them can explain, something starts to shift.I don't own any of the characters, they belong to J.K Rowling. This, however, is all my ramblings. Enjoy!
(pssss it's incomplete. i get intimidated by the /? sign)

Summary
It's six years post-war and Draco is a prostitute for clients with a Death Eater fetish. It's not the best job but it just about keeps him out of poverty and he's carved out a tiny life for himself.
But now fate seems determined to fuck with him all over again.
Because someone keeps hiring him for Harry Potter...

Summary
What if one thing changes, and it changes everything?
Harry's first visit to Diagon Alley goes off track when a Gringotts break-in leaves Hagrid preoccupied and Harry goes exploring on his own. He learns about prejudice and bigotry in the wizarding community, talks to a lonely snake, and meets a pale boy in a robe shop who hides beneath a mask of arrogance.
Harry begins to question: Is Slytherin actually the house of evil, as Hagrid says? Or does it represent ambition, perseverance and loyalty? And then there are the other houses: Kindness, bravery, a thirst for knowledge - how could he ever choose between them?Meanwhile, Draco is surrounded by Death Eaters and dark magic, scared of becoming the person his father wants him to be, but more terrified of trying to change and still ending up the same.
Note: There will be a time jump! It starts with Harry's first year because I wanted to make a few small changes that will then change the course of the entire story. The goal is to make it feel like this could have been canon, if only...

Summary
“Fine.” Potter held his gaze. “If we’re both single at thirty, marry me.”
The table erupted, but Draco barely heard it. Potter was grinning. For him, it was a joke. A ridiculous, drunken challenge delivered because Potter knew Draco would rather swallow broken glass than admit defeat in front of twelve witnesses. For Potter, that was all it was. Draco knew that. Unfortunately, Draco had once been fourteen years old and stupid enough to realise he was in love with this exact idiot. Apparently some humiliations lasted forever.
“Thirty?” Draco heard himself say. Potter blinked. Draco took another drink.
“Twenty-eight?” Potter tried again.
“Still pathetic.”
“Twenty-five.”
Draco stared at him. Potter held out his hand across the table. “If neither of us is married by twenty-five, we marry each other.”It’s supposed to be a drunken joke. Instead, Harry and Draco start crashing each other’s dates, sabotaging any potential competition and wielding the words “future husband” like a weapon.
For Harry, it’s a game that slowly stops feeling like one. For Draco, it was never really a game to begin with.Series

Summary
"Then memory after memory started to fuse together. I saw belts, broken glasses. I felt the pain of all the times they hit me, freezing outside, because they didn't want me to take away heat from Dudley. The cold baths because I used too much hot water. I could feel the hunger of all the times I wasn't fed, just so I could learn to be more grateful.
The connection vanished.
I stumbled backwards, my knees nearly gave way. Breathing hard, I glared at Snape. "What was that for? I thought you were supposed to teach me to get you out of my brain. Not you snoop in it."
Snape didn't move. He lowered his wand. His face didn't look like his normal unreadable face. It was still entirely unreadable, but it had something to it. Not shocked, Professor Snape didn't 'do' shocked.
His eyes hadn't left me. "Those memories."
I swallowed. "What about them?"
"The Dursleys.""
