Summary
What does the boy who lived have left to lose?
For reasons Draco Malfoy would probably never understand Harry Potter had saved him from Azkaban. The Boy Who Lived had, of his own accord, convinced the Winzengamot that Draco was forced to act as he did to save his own life and so was not deserving of a prison sentence. Rather, he was deserving of a second chance. As a result, Draco finds himself returning to Hogwarts, forced to spend every moment of his time with Potter who, even more curiously, agreed to personally watch over Draco. As if he couldn't be anymore inconvenient Potter is annoyingly determined to figure out what Draco went through whilst sharing his home with Voldemort and his most devoted followers.
Draco just wants to know why Potter saved him.
(In progress and under editing)

What if he's meant to be more than just her sworn enemy?

Summary
***
The war is over.
For Draco Malfoy that means a fresh start at Durmstrang: an unplottable fortress high up in the mountains, isolated from the world and a thousand miles from all he hated at Hogwarts. A place where the Dark Mark remains a badge of honor. Where Unforgivables are practiced openly. Where Mudbloods have never been admitted.
At least until Hermione goes and ruins everything.
***
Or: A Durmstrang spin on an eighth year story feat. toxic Draco, dark Hermione, and the entire gang of snakes.
