    Summary

    A routine stakeout turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse for Malfoy and Potter, and when the worst happens, they are forced to call the Greater Manchester ambulance service for aid.

    They landed at the back of a McDonalds in a noisy city centre, an overwhelming stench of rotting food filled the small space from the bins, the floor was littered with food and shiny underfoot with layers of grease. Harry cast around for the exit, looped Draco’s arm around his neck, got his shoulder under him and heaved him back onto his feet. Not waiting for Malfoy to get his breath, he walked them as steadily as he could out of the alley and onto the busy street, merging with the late-night revellers.

    Summary

    An en passant capture can only be made by another pawn, and it is only possible on the move immediately after the enemy pawn lands shoulder-to-shoulder with his opponent.

    Nine days before the end of Draco’s probation, a grievously injured Auror Potter crashes through the roof of the Malfoy Manor and lands in Draco’s arms.

    It’s Draco’s first capture of the game.

    Or maybe it’s the other way around.

    Summary

    It’s very fitting for how Harry’s life has gone thus far that he gets trapped in a time loop without rhyme, reason, or warning.

    To make matters infinitely worse, the one other person stuck on the same hellish chronological ride is Draco Malfoy, git extraordinaire.

    Summary

    “I’m done,” Draco hissed, tightening his hand around the bed frame. He felt Potter struggling against the urge to argue, that stubborn streak of his nearly tangible in the darkened bedroom, but Draco heard him close the door after several thumping heartbeats. His shoulders dropped, his eyelids fluttering closed against the image of Potter’s face hovering above his own as the blood drained from his body, the last thing he saw before he lost consciousness those bright emerald eyes.

    ***

    They watched each other across the short stretch of grass, the Patronus washing them in warm light, the sky now a deep, dark navy. Malfoy seemed to be searching his face for something, his silver eyes sketching his features in slow, stuttering movements. Harry could hear his heartbeat rattling in his chest, his breath catching in his throat like the skipping of a record. “Draco,” he whispered, the word foreign on his tongue.

    ***

    In which Draco Malfoy learns how to conjure a Patronus (and to no longer be a dick—for the most part).

    This story takes place during the events of Deathly Hallows.
