I have two fics now! Omg!
Pleasant (and Unpleasant) Surprises (19 chapters, E, complete):
The trio exchanged glances, eyes wide. “Kreacher.” Harry breathed. The three of them immediately scrambled towards the sound. As they approached the kitchen the boy who Kreacher had kidnapped was cursing and kicking things. “Get off of me you filthy vermin!” and “Know your place!” Harry thought the voice sounded vaguely familiar, but ignored the prickling on his spine at the sound and pressed forward. Harry, who was at the front of the group, swung open the kitchen door and locked eyes with familiar icy grey eyes. Overwhelmed with shock Harry muttered “Malfoy?”
Tourniquet (4 chapters, M, unfinished):
Draco swore he didn't have a drinking problem. 12 years after the war, and working as a healer he thought he had his life under control. A small glass of firewhiskey before work, or a couple glasses of wine every other night or so was completely normal, they helped him focus, it wasn't a big deal. In fact, his colleagues and friends getting in such a tizzy about it rather irritated him. But when his boss smelled alcohol on him at work after one too many warnings, he was fired. After being fired he had one possibility for a job: Poppy Pomfrey was retiring, and Headmistress McGonagall had been frantically searching for her replacement. When he begrudgingly took his only opportunity for employment, he found that working at Hogwarts could heal something in him that he didn't know needed healing. He couldn't tell if the frustrating, and familiar, Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, Harry Potter, would help or hinder his healing process.
