Just a bit of fluffy fun with the trio, set after PoA. Ron gets angry with the ball, and hilarity ensues.

It was a hard lesson to learn. For so long, I had forgotten Him and where my true roots lie. But He trained me again. He made me worthy of His Mark again.

I return to the life of a lapdog.````And I know now that I must be free of you to continue my life as it was laid out to be, as I’ve always known it would unfold.

You stare at the pictures, not really looking at them. You already know them, every one of them, every little detail. You know what is coming, what came, what is, because the pictures are now. He is now. And in your mind you remember and you see Him, see him as you saw him in the pictures.

He closes his eyes and imagines for himself: his father. He's reading the Quidditch scores out loud and it will always be Holyhead 250, Puddlemere 110. And Lily Potter feeds her son porridge, blown cool between pressed-red lips, out of a tiny silver spoon that, though tarnished, glimmers softly in the torchlight in his mind. Harry goes to Godric's Hollow, looking for something.

Harry destroys Voldemort only to wake up to a hard realization or perhaps it's only irony.

Years after Hogwarts, Draco reflects on his parents, Harry, and the decisions he has made.

Most likely friendship at this point.

Set in post-OoTP times, war has broken out and Harry is being headstrong and reckless (surprising, I know). NotSoEvil!Draco and Angsty!Ron comfort each other after Harry goes missing. Sadness and loss a-go-go, as well as character death, smut, and firewhiskey!

Draco would have been the first to admit that he had a problem. A very large problem, in fact, and it came in the form of the one and only Harry Potter, Boy-Who-Lived, Gryfindor’s Golden Boy. Saint Potter. Draco’s problem wasn’t so much of a problem as it was an obsession.

Draco spends what should be his seventh year at Hogwarts at a Death Eaters base and finally begins to realize that he might just be in over his head. When summoned by Voldemort will his next order be a suicide mission as punishment for his last mistake or something far worse? Songfic series.

No matter what, Harry always seems to end up alone.

Percy finally finds Ginny.

Voldemort is destroyed, but not all stories have happy endings.
