Drarry

Drarry is the slash ship between Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter from the Harry Potter fandom.

First year
The two boys first meet in Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. They are both in the shop to get their Hogwarts robes. Harry grows to dislike him almost immediately due to Draco’s arrogant and self-absorbed nature. It reminded Harry of Dudley. Draco comments on Hogwarts not accepting the other kind, referring to muggle-borns. He also calls Hagrid a savage. Before Draco can learn his name, Harry leaves the shop. He tells Hagrid about his encounter with the pale boy.

Once Harry arrives at Hogwarts, they meet again. The rumor that Harry Potter is on the train circulates, and Draco goes to introduce himself. He holds his hand out and offers to be friends. Harry rejects it coldly, causing Draco's cheeks to redden. This nearly causes a fight to ensue between the boys, but the boys back off after Goyle is bit by Scabbers. From this moment, the boys were rivals at Hogwarts. Draco was jealous of Harry Potter being a hero and believed strongly in blood purity, and insulted many of those in Gryffindor.

They are both present at the sorting ceremony. Later in the evening, Harry has a dream about Draco. He is wearing Professor Quirrell’s turban, and struggles to remove it. Draco is laughing at him, and turns into Snape, before a burst of green light and Harry wakes up.

They both have potions class together for the year. During their first lesson, Draco laughs at Harry when he unable to answer Professor Snape's questions. They also have flying class together. Harry was delighted to learn that Draco was mounting his broom incorrectly. Draco causes a stir and steals Neville's remembrall. He flies away with it, and Harry chases him and retrieves it back.

In the Great Hall, Draco approaches Harry and jokily asks when he's taking a train back to the muggles. He then challenges Harry to duel, and Ron accepts on his behalf.

Seventh year
When Harry was brought to Malfoy Manor to be given to the dark lord, Draco was very reluctant to identify him, even though he knew it was Harry. During the battle of Hogwarts, Harry saved Draco's life twice. Once against Crabbe's Fiendfyre, and from a masked death eater.

Cursed Child
In Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Harry's and Draco's sons become best friends, and when they're in danger Harry, Draco, Hermione, and Ron rescue them.

Philosopher's Stone
"Harry had never believed he would meet a boy he hated more than Dudley, but that was before he met Draco Malfoy."

- Chapter Nine: The Midnight Duel

Fanon
Drarry is an extremely popular ship in the Harry Potter fandom, and likely the most popular slash ship in the fandom. Many shippers enjoy the trope of the ship, and they also enjoy the contrast of dark, brooding Draco Malfoy (A Death Eater) and lighter, heroic Harry Potter (The Chosen One). Also, it effectively gave Draco a much-required redemption-arc.

On AO3, Drarry is the most written ship for both Harry and Draco. It is also the fifth most written ship in the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Thorne & Rowling tag and the most written ship in the Harry Potter - J.K. Rowling tag.
