    Summary

    Paroled and forbidden to do magic, Draco has very few choices. Three years after his sentencing he's surviving in the Muggle world by selling himself for food and drugs, but it's just about caught up with him, and so has the living tattoo he accidentally gave himself which occasionally seems to be trying to kill him. Neville Longbottom is in his last week as an Auror and getting ready to start a new life as a Hogwarts Assistant Professor, so he really could have done without one last assignment to chase down a rogue parolee with a deathwish. Little does he know, he might be the only one who can help Draco to turn his life around.

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy leads an ordered but rather unfulfilling life, working in a Ministry basement and residing in his cramped Muggle flat. Feeling underappreciated and horribly lonely, he purchases some special charms that allow him to conjure imaginary friends. Unfortunately, after becoming a suspect in a potions smuggling investigation, Draco is forced to surrender a month’s worth of memories for a Pensieve Probe.

    The aurors assigned to bear witness to his most private and embarrassing moments are none other than the Ministry ‘darlings’ Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley.

    Summary

    The bad guys always hang Illya from the ceiling. This time they’ve left him there. (This can either be read as gen or pre-slash. There's certainly enough slashy feel if you want there to be.)
    Then I wrote a Napoleon pov remix which is definitely slash - http://archiveofourown.org/works/7939936

    Summary

    "Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”

    “What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.

    “Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

    Summary

    Harry starts his eighth year with the help of his service animal, a young snake with the ability to eat negative emotions. He's desperately looking forward to a normal year at Hogwarts without Voldemort sharing his mind. Except he can't seem to get away from Malfoy, who is back for his eighth year as well.

    Draco, he's just trying to finish his N.E.W.T.s so he can try and get a Potion's apprenticeship. All he has to do is keep his head down, study hard, and of course keep his eyes off of Harry Bloody Potter for longer than five minutes. But who the hell keeps cursing him?

    Expect a decent amount of angst, a copious amount of hand holding, and more smut than any story needs.
