As far as I remember, Harry's body was found somewhere and written on his body were some writings of hints for the future read by Hermione. She didn't allow anybody else to read the hints, even Harry himself, bc that could possibly ruin their effort. Each one is added to guide them in this loop or the next one if they fuck up, basically. One of the hints is a riddle that can only be solved by using a name, and Hermione tried with everyone's names that they knew, but she could only solve it when she finally figured out she's pregnant and started looking for children's names.

Those are details I remember clearly, the rest not so much. I'm not sure how long it was but definitely longer than 5k, most likely longer than 10 or 15k, maybe around 30k? Hermione is most likely an Unspeakable, but I don't remember what Harry is. It's not immediately shown that Harry's stuck in a time loop because Hermione was hiding the writings. I think he was found in some kind of limbo, and he might be considered missing or dead before he was found.

One of the earliest hints, if I remember correctly, is to involve Draco because he can deal with poisons? or potions? Either way I think Harry was in danger of dying from something which is why Draco's help was immediately enlisted. I think the story was written from Draco's POV at least at the beginning, starting with the mission to save Harry's life.

only exist to fall by smallbeans When the Hogwarts letters go out in 1991, Harry Potter doesn't receive one. A year before, the Dursley family sent the child to an orphanage in London with a different name and a new identity. Growing up in London alone, Harry may escape the abuse of the Dursley's but he enters a world of neglect and handwork. When he's 13, he befriends a blue haired boy called Teddy, whom over the years becomes the closest of friends Harry could have asked for. At 16, Harry is getting on with his life just fine. He's got two jobs, college, a great group of friends and an endless supply of cigarettes to keep his hands from uncontrollably shaking. And then, Teddy's parents announce they're coming down for the week and suddenly Harry has people coming up to him saying he's supposed to be dead and that a Dark Lord is after him

The Bucket List by GallaPlacidia Draco will die in six months if he can’t get Harry Potter to fall in love with him. Since that’s not going to happen, he might as well spend his last days working through his Bucket List. Tap-dancing lessons? Rock climbing? Poetry-writing? Threesomes? Cocaine? Getting to know his adorable cousin, Teddy Lupin? Draco will try them all! Feat. Cheerily pessimistic Draco, devoted bitch queen Pansy Parkinson, and a Harry who can’t help but notice that something seems DIFFERENT about Draco, these days.

Vortex by xanthippe74  “Don’t worry, my dearest one,” Draco’s mother told him when he confided his worries to her. When he was old enough to feel the pangs of adolescent longing, but still too young to sense the storm gathering around them. “Magic will overcome any distance or obstacles to bring two soulmates together when the time is right. Circumstances will arise that steer them in the right direction; strange coincidences will make their paths cross again and again. Then the most wondrous moment arrives, when you both realize that your soulmate, your perfect match, stands before you, and from that day forward your hearts will be one.” Ten years after that conversation, the idea of perfectly-matched soulmates feels more like a curse than a blessing to Draco. Who would want a soulmate who was a schoolyard bully, a Death Eater, and a convicted felon? Certainly not Harry Potter. And Draco is determined to take this secret to the grave.

Scene of Surrender by Rasborealis Draco just wants to keep his head down and finish his last year at Hogwarts. He's not supposed to let his mask slip, and Harry isn't supposed to care.
