Summary
After the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry helps Snape survive Nagini's bite and decides to become a Healer. Harry and Draco strike up a friendship that begins with Harry asking him for Potions advice. When he heals Astoria of her Malediction and makes it possible for them to have a child, Harry and Draco become close.
Years later, Severus fortuitously returns from travelling (avoiding England) just as Harry is looking for an innovative Potions Master to work on a project restoring magic to Squibs.
Harry has long held a torch for Snape and hopes they'll finally, at the very least, call a truce. Severus still grasps at the many assumptions he made about Potter in order to deny that he's long known them not to be true. He certainly can't imagine they'll get along but Potter... Harry is friendly and respectful and sparks of a different kind than before fly between them and ignites something special.
The MCD warning and Sad Ending tag might turn some people away but there's a stopping point where you can get off the... train, as it were, and pretend there's a happier ending if you want. I'll be clear where this is. Hopefully, knowing this, more people choose to read my story.

Summary
Little first year Harry is... underwhelming according to, well, everyone. But a knack for collecting things causes that to change and everyone notices.

Summary
This snippet belongs in the ellipses in chapter 10 of Erised. It was removed from the main story because Harry tells Draco the whole long story. I wrote it mainly for Draco’s reactions, but it amounted to rehashing, well, the whole long story. The one that we all know already – or why would we be here? Even though I liked how I wrote it, I decided to take it out and post it as a oneshot for anyone who wanted to read it anyway.
You could probably read it as a stand-alone, but it likely makes more sense in context of the whole story, especially the in-jokes between Draco and Harry.

Summary
Draco Malfoy is trying to make amends by doing fundraisers and events for a war orphan charity. He hasn't seen Harry Potter - or thought about him... really! - in about five years. Until he sees him a lot, everywhere, dammit. While vehemently trying to deny his school crush has reignited, Draco cannot help but be charmed by a more mature, serene, confident Harry. And, well, the new looks, plural, are ever so appealing.
