Summary
Draco Malfoy was never meant to be a hero—especially not Harry Potter’s. But when he defects from Voldemort’s side and pulls Harry from Privet Drive before the Order can, everything changes.
Cut off from their allies, hunted and alone, Harry and Draco are forced into an uneasy partnership on the run. The Horcruxes won’t wait—and neither will the growing tension between them.
In a war where nothing is black and white, trust is dangerous, and the line between enemy and something more begins to blur.

The Serpent and the Stag: A Complete Beginning by OliviaLH for tired_reader26
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
10 Jul 2025

Summary
When Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy first meet, it's anything but friendly—arrogance meets stubborn defiance, and house rivalry solidifies the divide. But beneath the sharp words and glares lies something quieter: curiosity, vulnerability, and the slow unraveling of everything they thought they knew about each other.
Spanning their years at Hogwarts and beyond, The Serpent and the Stag explores the hidden moments behind the public rivalry—shared glances, silent understandings, and fractured loyalties—as two boys born into legacy and expectation begin to forge something unspoken and unexpected.
This is not a love story. Not yet.
It’s the story of how it could begin.Series

Summary
The first two nights, Harry sleeps like the dead— or, well, maybe that's not the best comparison, given the number of inferi attacks reported lately.
He sleeps like a log. Like a dead log. An un-re-animated dead log. From an everyday, inanimate, non-whomping tree.
After that, Harry wakes up screaming more nights than not, and he even cries on the bad ones, which makes James cry too. In this regard, James reckons that his first week of parenting a full-grown teenage adult bears an awful lot of resemblance to parenting a newborn baby. He feels both blessed and terrifyingly out of his depth.

Summary
It’s May 1979 and the Order has just apprehended a pair of mysterious wizards who look remarkably like a Potter and a Malfoy. Naturally, James Potter and Sirius Black are called in to identify the strangely familiar strangers and determine their backgrounds and loyalties.
(This would be a lot easier if their captives weren’t convinced everyone they talk to is dead. It would also be easier if they didn’t spend half their bloody time bickering.)
**
“Just ask them questions only they would know the answer to,” Malfoy suggests.
“There’s not a single thing that I know about either of them from the first war that any old Death Eater couldn’t find out.”
“How is that possible?” Malfoy huffs. “He’s your father!”
“Am I or am I not famously an orphan?” Potter snarls.
