Any fics nerdy/smart/draco where his Slytherin side is explored? Would also love some fics where magic theory is explored with H/D as paring.
You don't know how happy I felt when I saw this request. I had writen that everyone could sen dme request for fic recs but I hadn't expected anyone to do so at all (I mean, I'm nobody, and I'm not even very active =v=' ) So, thank you for trusting my taste!!
For your request, these are some fics I think that you may like:
- A First Look Into Resurrecting Mummies With the Aid Of the Chosen One, and Why It Should Be Advised Against (an Essay by Draco Malfoy, Assistant Archaeologist) @cibeewastaken (M;21,9k)
Draco hopes to find an ancient spell book rumoured to be in Hamunaptra after Astoria found a map to the lost city. If he makes this discovery, maybe the Magical British Museum will finally look at his application, and his annoying colleague will finally leave him alone.
It’s a good plan, until Draco is reunited with Harry Potter for the first time in ten years, as the man is about to be hanged.

- Dwelling by aideomai (T;83k)
Curses, James and Lily Potter ride again, several Ministry balls, a teenage Summer of Love, a grim young adult dystopian winter, a few different Draco Malfoys, secrets and the problems re: not having any, alternate lives, impossible lives, real lives, allusions to Dirty Dancing, and just because it's not called the Mirror of Erised doesn't mean you shouldn't know better.
- Every New Beginning by @fencer-x (E;140,8k)
“You curl your lip and wrinkle your nose and sneer and call me Saviour, yet you only seek my help at the eleventh hour. That’s what’s fucked up, Malfoy.” || Draco Malfoy is dead, and Harry is absolutely totally fine with that.
- Everything is Relative to You by @thehoneybeet (E; 43,1k)
Potter was supposed to have lived. Draco is certain of this. That Potter would no longer walk the earth was tantamount to the sun moving west to east across the sky. If only he could have stopped this from happening, if he’d have known…
It comes to him as ideas often did: too late.
Or, Harry dreams of his past lives, and Draco is in every one.
- tinder, flicker, flash by @americanmoths (M;80,3k)
Molly Weasley takes Draco in after Narcissa, wanted for many murders and schemes, abandons him in the forbidden forest. This is a Drarry story, so obvs your fav schoolyard enemies fall in love, but first Draco has to learn to love his adopted family.
ft. magical Zoom calls, gay solidarity, a prank war, a real war and George Weasley’s unsubstantiated belief in his own psychic abilities.
a story where nobody makes any good decisions, yet everything turns out ok.
- Heal Thyself by @astolat (T;46,9k)
"Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”
“What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.
“Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

Aurors Potter and Malfoy crack the case.
- Because Potter Is Allergic to Poppies by Lomonaaeren (M;41,1k)
Auror Harry Potter is in hospital being treated for a curse when someone tries to kill him. Obviously it is up to bored, trapped Apprentice Healer Draco, who was only admitted to the Healer Program in the first place to do the menial work, to find out who did it. Because then they will promote him. No, it’s for no other reason, thanks.
- By the Grace by @letteredlettered (T;140k)
Harry is an Auror instructor. Malfoy wants to be an Auror.
- i demand to dig my own grave by @bonesliketambourines (M;20,8k)
Draco finds himself in hot water with the Aurors, and in a burst of panicked inspiration manages to wiggle out of it by claiming to be a Seer. There's just one little problem– Senior Auror Harry Potter, the Prat Who Lived, who's known him for a decade, knows full well Draco doesn't have a single psychic bone in his body and seems determined to pull him up for it. Now, the Department is demanding he help them solve cases, Potter's looming over his shoulder at every turn, and worst of all, he hasn't had a shag in weeks because of all this bother. What's a pseudo-Seer to do?
- A Slytherin in Gryffindor Clothing by mahaliem (R;38k)
Draco hits his head and wakes up in a world where he's a Gryffindor and Harry is a Slytherin
(a fun fic which I'm not sure if it fits your requests, but Draco's "Slytherin-ness" is explored in a rather unusual and hilarious way in this fic.)
Have fun reading and don't forget to send the authors love!
