Summary
“I'd take you on any time on my own. Tonight, if you want. Wizard's duel. Wands only—no contact. Let’s say, trophy room, third floor, midnight?”
A first-year Draco challenges Harry to a duel. Instead of snitching to Filch, he shows up. The Golden Trio gets a reluctant, somewhat snobby silver lining.
One forfeited duel hardly changes centuries of stratification based on blood status and Hogwarts Houses, but it certainly changes the course of the war fought against the Dark Lord. And, of course, it forever changes the school years and lives of certain children of Death Eaters, Blood Traitors, Mudbloods, and Order members.
AU retelling of the HP books, multi-POV.

Summary
“Oh, if your father says it’s important, it must be!”
“—says it’s important to be on the side of those that wield influence. Umbridge is indeed a cunt but she does call the shots now.”
“And what about being on the right side of history?”
Malfoy rolled his eyes. “The right side of history—listen to yourself. You Gryffindors can be so self-important. It’s a student association, not a peace negotiation corps. We’re not fighting in a war, Granger.”
“We might be,” said Harry darkly.
The Dark Lord has risen and his grip on the wizarding world is tightening. Even Hogwarts and home no longer seem safe when Hermione, Draco, Harry, and Ron return for their fifth year. As the world grows colder and more polarised, the kids are confronted with the precarity of the connections they’ve made. With the cost of honesty higher than ever, will their bond survive the onset of the Second Wizarding War?

Summary
Draco Malfoy thought he had reasonable expectations for his mandatory Eighth Year at Hogwarts, where he would be confined to the grounds as part of his probation. Isolation, hatred, and passing his NEWTs were really all he had in mind.
What he wasn't anticipating:
1) Having a small firstie latch onto him like a bloody koala
2) Said firstie adopting an erkling as if they didn’t feed on children.To protect his little nuisance, he’ll have to seek help from uncomfortable places, including the Swottiest Witch of Her Age. Joy of all joys.
