    Summary

    Draco thought he could avoid Potter for the duration of his brief return to England. He’d stick to his schedule and be back home in Paris, where he belonged, in a few short months. No trouble at all. He had plenty to occupy him, what with the opening of the London branch of his successful apothecary, his innovative research, drinks with Pansy, a backlog of unread potions periodicals.

    Except Head Auror Potter is everywhere — in Draco's chair, at his door, in his dreams. All six feet of motorbike-riding, combat-boot-wearing, sex-hair-sporting Saviour of the World packed into one unfairly fetching uniform. Potter won’t leave Draco the bloody hell alone, won’t let him breathe, let him forget, let him sleep.

    Because no matter how fast Draco Malfoy runs, Harry Potter is always hot on his heels.

    Summary

    There's a number of things that drive a person to commit torture.

    Just as there's a handful of flimsy reasons to explain why every witness tends to turn a blind eye.

    The common theme is always needing something- and there's quite a few things that Quackity needs. He needs to win a bet, he needs to gain power; and to do both of those things he needs whatever's in that goddamn book.

    So, it's only reasonable he'd do just about anything to get it, even if it means dragging the whole world down with him.

    Summary

    Draco can think of only one way to outclass his pleat-front-khaki-wearing politician ex, and that’s by making headlines with an obvious upgrade. And who better to upstage the cheating bastard than the Saviour of the World, Harry Potter himself? Sure, Potter is a little rough around the edges in ripped jeans, a rumpled tartan shirt, and a permanent scowl. Draco reckons a haircut and a shave wouldn’t hurt, either. But Potter is also in need of a Healer willing to keep his secrets, and Draco is just the man for the job. It’s a perfectly reasonable exchange. They need only attend a couple parties arm-in-arm, smile nicely for the paparazzi, and tolerate each other long enough to convince everyone they’re smitten. In return, Draco will keep Potter alive and in one piece.

    But it isn’t long before Draco realises he might be in over his head, because Potter is ten tonnes of trouble packed into a leather jacket, and seems keen on hurtling himself towards death on the back of a flying motorbike. And that says nothing of Potter’s penchant for fire-breathing beasts and things that bite.

    Ah well, at least they’ll have some fun while it lasts. After all, Draco always did like a bit of danger.

    Summary

    Potter doesn't leave. He slides off the mattress, and instead settles down beside his bed on the floor. He adjusts on his legs, his chin cushioned on his arm, and then begins to talk. His voice is quiet and rough with lingering slumber, the sound of soft kisses, of wild dancing and unbridled laughter filling his head.

    When Draco wakes up, once again, somewhere in the dark of the night and under the dim starlights of the constellations spell that he doesn't remember casting for a second time, there is nobody at the floor of his bedside.

    He wonders if he'd only dreamed it all.

    Sequel to 'Alucinatio'.

    Summary

    The war was over.

    Or at least that’s what the papers said.

    They’d been saying it, for months, as if people needed reminding.

    Maybe they did.

    ***

    In which Harry and Draco both run away from their pasts and conveniently choose to hide in the same tiny American town.

    It's super.
