I will die on the hill that Drarry and Dramione are not even close to similar. While on the outside they may seem similar: one of the a golden trio with Draco, they are not. There’s more to a ship than just those dynamics.
First is looking at the histories between Draco and Harry vs Draco and Hermione. Draco and Harry had a lot more interactions and more of a rivalry than Draco and Hermione ever did.
Second is recognizing that Harry and Hermione are NOT the same character. Not even close.
I understand where people are coming from when they say the two are similar, they only look on the surface level. But every shipper knows there’s more to it than that. Dramione is not just straight Drarry.
Title: A Side of Reconciliation
Rating: E
Word Count: 4,396
Summary: Draco and Harry have been sleeping for far too long without talking about their feelings. Join them on their first date and a level of awkwardness only they can achieve.
Sequel to "From Prince to Pet" but can be read as a standalone.
Excerpt + my favorite line from it below:
“Draco squirmed slightly in his chair, uncrossing and recrossing his legs to hide the small shift of his bum. Thankfully, the pristine white tablecloth of the muggle restaurant hid the dirty stain of his growing problem. Flushing a bright red, he looked up to his dinner companion. Harry, the bastard, was looking quite pleased with himself. He was wearing a Mona Lisa type smile that told you he was hiding a secret.”
““A toast.” Harry raised his glass a little higher in emphasis. “Ron, Hermione and I do this whenever we have dinner together. Hermione’s idea, although we had to shorten it. She originally wanted to say ‘to being child soldiers fighting the previous generation’s war.’ Didn’t quite roll off the tongue, a bit redundant, so we shorted it.”“
I worked on this briefly over the semester but never quite finished it. It’s not as kinky as the first one, but I did pack it full of feelings. So, in honor of finally finishing my finals, I finished and posted it. I hope you all like it! I’m trying hard to get back into the hang of writing, being a STEM major really kills the whole creative vibe.

HBP is truly the beginnings of a Drarry fanfic. Harry starts obsessing over Draco, realizes he isn’t all evil and instead complex, breaks up with Ginny...
JK Rowling was so close to greatness. Just a litttlllleeee more Draco character development and Drarry fans could have had it all.
(Maybe then Ginny and Luna could’ve gotten together)
The morning sun cast shadows over Draco’s face, exaggerating already sharp features. His nose almost seemed a knife whose edge reflected darkness instead of light. It was remarkable how menacing an innocent sleeping face could become at the mercy of one simple feature. Rolling over and ghosting past the blade to reach his lips, Harry decided he would risk getting cut any day. If only for a simple kiss.

Read on AO3: From Prince to Pet
Excerpt below.
“There was only darkness. A pitch black that consumed Draco’s world, leaving him nothing. Nothing but Harry and the scratching of the carpet against his knees.
The soft swish of a foot brushing against the floor came from behind him, followed by the light thud of a footstep. Draco’s head instinctively swung in reaction to the noise, his hands twitching on his knees, begging to reach out. His entire body was aching to move. Without a single physical bond aside from the one across his eyes, he could. In theory. But the knowledge that Harry, his master, was standing behind him, watching, forced him to remain still and compliant.
Draco’s mind was confined and he was never freer.”
Harry Potter is a muscle twink and Draco Malfoy is a tall noodle man thank you for coming to my TED talk
goddddddd i just LOVVEEEE when slytherins in any harry potter pairing fic BOND. like we were so starved of any good and decent scenes of the slytherins in the book and movies where they just. exist. and that's all they do. like no talks of voldemort or secretly practicing dark magic or spitting slurs at others. just the slytherins teasing each other with embarrassing things they came to learn about each other through out their 7 years together, mocking the way they would get a spell wrong, protecting each other from discrimination that comes with the label of their house, caring when someone gets hurt and JUST ABOUT HOW CLOSE THEY ALL ARE.
it doesn't even have to be romantic
like give me blaise, theo, and draco fucking each other up in snow ball fights. give me pansy and daphne dressing up for the ball, putting makeup on each other. give me marcus flint trying to handle the slytherin quidditch team because they're still kids and rebellious teenagers. give me draco sharing the sweets his mom sends to everyone in slytherin and asking his mom for more next time because crabbe and goyle gobbled up half of it. give me millicent and pansy talking about their dream man and weddings. give me draco helping pansy with her homework. give me the gang struggling to learn through their syllabus and staying up late at nights just talking to each other. just GIVE ME FAMILY-FRIENDLY SLYTHERINS
Harry: hello
Narcissa: oh mr. Potter your eyes really looks like emeralds
Harry: ...
Draco: mama!
Narcissa: yeah, Draco was right, your shape of eyebrows looks perfect
Draco: maAaaAAama
"Today we are going to learn Lumos"
