Summary
Eight years after the war, Harry is an auror, and he is a drunk. An ordinary stop at Malfoy Manor, to dismiss Draco from his probation, reveals a disturbing secret: Draco has obliviated himself, and he has no memory of who he is.
Harry becomes determined to fix him, and together they help untangle each other from their shared web of trauma and grief.
“It was his birthday yesterday. I got him a pair of Gouldian finches—he was so excited. You know, he used to hate birds? The peacocks terrified him when he was small.” Narcissa sniffled and turned back to Harry. “Twenty-six years old … and he can’t be left alone for ten minutes.”“What happened to him?”
Narcissa took a sip of her tea; she pursed her lips and blew on the cup’s steaming surface.
“Draco tried to obliviate himself, Harry—last year on Christmas.”

Summary
The judge seems to realise that he has come to a decision. “I’ll ask again: why did you not give away Mr Potter’s identity that night in Malfoy Manor?”
He steels himself, draws in a breath and looks at her. All pretence and shame and burden vanishing as he readies himself for his confession. A sentence of a different kind than the court can order.
“Because I am in love with him.” And for the first time in what feels like months, his voice does not waver.
Lightbulbs flash from the press section and there is a collective drawing in of breath, that of which Draco had only read in books. Conversations erupt. He does not flinch nor cow but remains focused on the judge. She studies him for a moment, bangs the gavel and clears her throat.
“For how long?”

Summary
For Prompt #51:
When Draco gets fired, he reluctantly agrees to break up a girl’s relationship for her disapproving mother. Through word of mouth, the one-time gig turns him into a professional Matchbreaker, however he winds up falling for one of his clients and must somehow balance his secret job and love life.[excerpt]:
“So who is it? The Curse-breaker and the Veela? The head of the Department of Magical Transportation?” Draco’s eyes lit up. “The Dragon-tamer?” Now that particular Weasley could be fun.“No. It’s Harry,” Hermione said, the name exploding out of her in a rush.
Draco blinked, stunned into silence.
“Harry,” he said, after he recovered his faculties. “You want me to break up Harry and the Weaselette?!"
