    Summary

    When a throw-away comment about the Boy-Who-Lived catches Lucius Malfoy by surprise, he starts to investigate about the boy’s whereabouts. Finding the Saviour of the Wizarding World treated like a common house-elf is not at all what he expected. Not one to let an opportunity pass when it presents itself, he takes Harry in as his ward before someone else can whisk him away, securing the boy’s fame and power for himself and giving him the education he is sorely lacking.

    Locked into his room by the Dursleys and half starved to death, Harry hasn’t much hope that anything will change until he goes back to Hogwarts. But then Draco Malfoy’s father shows up of all people and offers him a place at Malfoy Manor.
    Highly suspicious at first, he finds that the Malfoys are kinder than he expected and Harry slowly starts to let himself believe that things might be looking up for him at once. But those around him are not as trusting as he is and when Dumbledore tries to warn Harry away from the Malfoys, Harry will have to fight to keep his new-found family and keep the fragile trust he has in them.

    Summary

    In which Draco has a rip roaring crush on Hermione for the first four years of school. Then Fifth year arrives and it seems she might return his affections.

    So what does he do? Naturally, he lures her (in a romantic way of course) into an alcove, magically glues her in place and kisses her until she's dizzy.

    This is their love story. It's full of magic, humour and growing together. Of adventures, mischief and silliness around Hogwarts, cosy and tucked away from the rest of the world. This story is all their little moments; falling in love, falling apart, broken through the war and back again for Eighth year, and everything else In Between.
    Featuring: a smart, ultra competent Hermione Granger who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it,

    Soft, cinnamon roll Draco Malfoy who's completely head over heels for Hermione and is prepared to break all sorts of rules to spend time with his witch

    Ultimate wingman Blaise Zabini. He's also a mother hen

    Theo Nott making bets and badges. He's here for the chaos

    Oblivious Potter (but he has suspicions)

    Tiny bit of Ron Weasley bashing but also Ron Weasley redemption (and I redeem him so good!)

    Summary

    “He has a point though, Ron.”
    “Who, Harry? Of course, he’s right! Just look at what they’ve done.”
    “No, not Harry, Malfoy. What he stands to gain through his inheritance is very important to Wizarding society." Hermione placed her book back on her lap, thumbing the curve of the spine as she spoke. "You’ll stand to gain quite a bit too, Harry. Or so I’d imagine. The Potter name is an Ancient and Noble one as well."

    Just one conversation can accidentally dig up a long-buried secret. When Harry goes to find out his inheritance, he discovers much more than he can imagine.

    Just who is Harry Potter and did he ever really exist in the first place?

    Summary

    Things change after Harry takes in the magic of the basilisk, but that doesn’t mean that the world waits for Harry to catch up as a fugitive roams the streets hunting for a rat, a werewolf stalks the halls hoping for a second chance, and summer plans go awry. Harry just wants to survive the year after the hell that was second year, but between teenage emotions and the mass murder after him, he almost begins to wonders if he will.

    It doesn’t help that dementors are haunting the school.
