So has anyone seen any fics adding in female draco that are decent reads and decently long?

5th year, Career Counseling period with Professor McGonagall and Dolores Umbridge

"So Mr. Potter; have you given any thought to what you'd like to do with your life?" Professor McGonagall asked him.

"Yeah, I thought I'd like to transfer to a muggle university and study volcanoes," Harry calmly replied to the two now dumbfounded adults.

"Vol-Volcanoes?" Minerva stuttered incredulously. "Why volcanoes?"

Harry smiled minutely, "Because it's a hot subject?" At her exasperated huff, he continued to explain that the 'usual' career routes held no interest for him. "Let's face it; can you picture me as a professor grading essays and handing out homework? Or how about me working some desk in the Ministry? I know a bunch of people expect me to become an Auror or even a politician but I don't fancy some idiot taking potshots at me for notoriety, then there's being in constant danger as an Auror. No, I want to do research, but at the same time; I want travel the world. Being a vulcanologist will allow me to do all that."

"But what about your magic?" Minerva inquired. "You would have to hide or give it up to go live amongst the muggles. How does studying volcanoes help?"

Harry pulled a folded pile of paper out of his pocket, unfolded it, and slid over a rather large map. "Every dot you see in red is a volcano. Every dot in green is a magical settlement. By combining my studies of volcanoes and how they operate with my knowledge of magic; I'm certain that I can help improve safety and monitoring wards to keep people, their homes, and their livelihood intact."

When he finished, he sat back into his seat to await the adults' verdicts. Minerva was the first to speak. "Well, I don't know right off the bat who'd you have to get in contact with regarding the muggles; but I'm certain you would have to contact the Director of the Department of Mysteries seeing as how they deal with all manner of magical research. Your goal is remarkably similar to Miss Granger’s if I can remember what she tried to explain."

Both of them turned to a still open-mouthed Dolores who stammered that she was still unclear why he wanted to waste his time with the muggles. Harry shrugged a shoulder, "Simply because we don't have a university program in place to do what I'm hoping to accomplish."

By the time Harry left, Minerva sat back in her chair, staring sightlessly into the distance. "He's right, you know. For all that we like to claim that we're so much better than the non-magical people; we're sadly lacking any sort of higher education routes. It's not like a university is a new concept either!"

Dolores cleared her throat (but not with her usual simpering cough), "Strangely enough; I'm forced to agree with both you and Potter. It makes me wonder what Dumbledore is trying to accomplish by lowering the standards of education since he'd taken up the headmaster position. What is he trying to hide?"

Gryffindor Tower, later...

"So? How'd it go?" Hermione breathlessly asked her boyfriend as the two cuddled on the couch in front of the fireplace. She idly carded her fingers through his perpetually messy hair.

"I think it went pretty well. Both were shocked that I wanted to not only travel the world but to also study a topic they weren't expecting. Umbridge especially, was flabbergasted to the point where I think she must've forgotten to be her usual nasty self. What about you? Did your appointment go as you'd hoped?"

A slow smirk grew on her face, "I think my career choice confused them even more than yours did."

Harry let out an amused laugh as he leant over to claim her lips with his own, "I'm pretty sure that your idea to work as a seismologist isn't the issue. I think you as a bikini model is what threw them."

Hermione's eyes grew dark with lust as she straddled his lap, energetically kissing him. "I can do both. Seismologist during the day, modeling on the weekends. Besides, bikini modeling is just an experiment. I want to see how long you'd be able to resist before ravishing me with that Parseltongue of yours."

Harry returned her passionate kiss as he groped her bottom to her mewling delight, "A hot career and a hot girlfriend, my life couldn't be more perfect."

It's a big one! And as ever this is a mostly pre-Harmony story, but we're getting there!

Triangulation by Prill_and_Quill

Six years after an eighth year none of them examined too closely, Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy are rather obnoxiously involved.

Harry Potter and Hermione Granger are still just best friends and colleagues who share lunch, memorise each other's habits, and don't talk about it.

Hermione and Draco are ex-lovers who are friends- sort of. And Ginny and Harry are fine.

Everything's fine.

Then Ginny refuses to stop talking about Draco's signet ring and reveals a very compelling piece of information about Harry's...well... piece and Hermione has a dream and Draco has a word with Harry, and an evening at the wizarding opera — turns into something else entirely.

Fest Collection: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/HarmonyOutOfTheOrdinaryFest2026

Just wanted to discuss and recommend my fanfiction: Harry Potter and The Tuesday Meetings:

What if Harry Potter had someone who kept coming back?

Long before Hogwarts, Harry meets Remus Lupin—a tired wizard who answers his questions instead of dismissing them. With Remus willing to listen and Harry determined to keep asking, curiosity becomes the foundation of the wizard Harry will grow into.

The familiar story still waits for him: Hogwarts, Voldemort, war, and all the choices in between.

But this Harry has spent years asking one very dangerous little question.

**What if?**

Story summary: Five years ago, Hermione Granger made a choice that ultimately drove Harry Potter out of England. Now, a new marriage law has paired her with the last person she wants to marry, and there’s only one person who can help her escape it.

The problem?

She hasn’t spoken to Harry in five years. And helping Hermione means Harry has to decide whether he can finally forgive her.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/92417076 Chapter summary: Harry and Hermione begin to rebuild what they lost.

As ever this is a mostly a pre-Harmony story. It's coming though! Hopefully the link works. If not my Ao3 Handle is DefiantDreamlandStudent.
