    Summary

    Harry had expected by thirty-six he'd be happily married and no doubt Head Auror. Instead, he finds he's an ex-Auror and in a career he loves, but never anticipated in a million years. At thirty-six, Draco is an accomplished Potions Master. But when his best friend needs his help, he falls back on a degree he never intended to use again.

    Of course, their paths cross and sparks fly. Are they mature enough to follow their feelings?

    Or...The Epilogue we all wanted.

    Summary

    It’s so clear, you see, that if we’re to begin living in the present, we must first redeem our past and then be done with it forever. And the only way we can redeem our past is by suffering and by giving ourselves over to extraordinary labor, to steadfast and endless labor.

    Anton Chekhov, The Cherry Orchard

    Set long after the Battle of Hogwarts.

    Draco Malfoy is abruptly and unwillingly called home after spending the last twenty years living and studying abroad. It seems that there are things at Malfoy Manor which need to be put to rest, and the Ministry of Magic has determined that as the sole remaining Malfoy by blood, Draco is the only one who can do it.

    But curse breaking is not Draco’s area of expertise, and so the Ministry has found someone willing to help.

     

    Completed!

     

    I don’t own any characters you recognize, I just like to push their faces together and make kissy noises. Not making any money from this, etc., etc.

    Summary

    The most boring shift in the world, filled with Muggle car ride games to pass the time, was interrupted by a tow-head boy begging for help to save his papa and ultimately changed Harry's life from there on out. For the better, of course.

    Summary

    Sirius doesn't go after Peter Pettigrew on the night that Voldemort kills the Potters, but stays to look after Harry... This means that he is never wrongly accused and incarcerated for the murder of Lily and James, and instead he and Remus Lupin raise Harry as their own.

    When it finally becomes time for Harry to start his education at Hogwarts, he has no reason to tell the Sorting Hat not to place him in Slytherin, so he is Sorted into Slytherin and becomes best friends (and later on, more than friends) with Draco.
