Summary
"You went yourself?"
"I did."
"You had no authority—"
"No."
"I had a promise."
"I expected James Potter's son."
"I found Lily Evans' child."
"He apologised because I asked him if he was hungry." Even Fawkes ceased singing.
"He apologised," Severus repeated, "for being hungry."
Dumbledore's shoulders seemed to sag. "Severus..."
"No." Years of bitterness sat behind that single word.
"I buried Lily because I failed her once." His black eyes never left Dumbledore's.
"I will not fail her son." Outside, thunder rolled across the Scottish Highlands. Neither man noticed.
Far below the castle...
Ancient magic stirred.
Deep beneath forgotten stone...
Something that had slept for nearly a thousand years recognised a name.
Potter. And, for the first time in a very long while...
The House waited.

Summary
“This is where you’ve been living?” Potter asked quietly.
And as if it were a paid actor, a rat appeared from one side of Draco’s living room, paused in the middle of the floor to look up at them, then disappeared through a hole in the opposite wall.
“Why?” Potter turned to him with wide eyes.
Draco shrugged. “Told you my family didn’t want me to join the Aurors. And it’s not that bad, I promise.”
On cue, the rat reappeared from the hole in the wall, and sprinted in the direction of Draco’s tiny bathroom.
“Right!” Weasley said loudly. “Well! That’s that decided then. I think you’re coming to live with us, mate.”
And that was how Draco ended up living at number twelve Grimmuald Place.

Draco and Harry were friends. That's all they were, and Draco needed to learn to be grateful for that fact, no matter how much he wanted to reach out and touch Harry at every opportunity.
Friends. It would have to be enough.

Summary
Harry is taking a nap under a tree by the Great Lake, and wakes up to find a small white snake has coiled up on his chest, fast asleep. When Harry tries to talk to it in parseltongue, he's surprised when the snake doesn't talk back.
However, as the little creature clearly isn't scared of him, Harry decides to keep him as a pet, a companion. Unbeknownst to him, the little snake he's befriended is none other than Draco Malfoy, his sworn enemy.
All the while, Draco is dealing with the Slytherins shunning him out and the whirlwind of emotions he's experiencing.Bookmarked by HPK7
