Draco must make a decision. Snape hopes that he makes the right one. Things are complicated by new arrivals.

He's not given the chance to have a normal year when Hogwarts is conquered by the Dark Forces and the students held hostage. Heroes come from unlikely places and sacrifices are made, but in the end, it's up to Draco. He learns that not even in the magical world are there completely happy endings. Also includes Harry-Draco fist fights, Rebellious!Narcissa, Actor!Remus, spandex, embarrassing photographs(provided by Sirius) and even a spot of snogging.

It is difficult to be an outcast in any school, but only the worst can be Hufflepuff outcasts. Imagine a person that is being shunned even by nice and friendly Hufflepuffs, for Merlin's sake. Your housmates dislike you, your sister is ashamed of you, you get a B in Transfiguration after all the work, and on top of it you don't have a single friend. But, as a consequence of tunneling, uncontrolable anger, and a couple of sharp retorts, an unlikely friendship is born between a Hufflepuff and a Slytherin. Maybe. If they don't mess it up completely.

It's been five years since Hogwarts, and Ginny is living alone in Egypt. Harry Potter has been conspiciously absent from the lives of the Weasleys, and Ginny is still trying to get over him. Then, one day, Ginny's led to believe foul play may be involved in Harry's whereabouts.

But what if the fulfillment of the dark prophecy lies behind an angelic face? Harry Potter must face his greatest challenge ever... choosing between the people he cares about and the woman he loves. His choice will bring about the beginning of the end, but the question is will it be the right one?

Ten years later, Draco comes back into Harry's life, wanting to set things right. Now, they both must battle the sting of past wrongs and the uncertainty of what's left between them to bridge the chasm that time and pain have opened.

Most children lead lives of overall happiness- they have parents, go to school, make friends, (eventually) find love. But as Harry discovers one late afternoon, there was one girl that lived a life of needless suffering, one girl that was desperate for an escape, one girl...that would change him forever.

What happens when Harry is given the chance to have power as he never had it before?
