I didn't love this one, but the banter was cute. Draco and Harry have been auror partners for years. Harry gets deaged by a potion and draco realizes hes been in love with him for a long time. D tier smut; it doest even lean into harry looking like a teenager. there was one really lovely passage tho.

Somehow, they ended up holding hands, and it was a comfort, feeling Harry’s fingers clasped between his own, warm and solid and so wonderfully real. Harry moved closer, and they’d eventually fallen asleep there, just like that, and Draco had woken up very early the next morning, neck stiff and Harry slumped over and pressed warm against his side. They were still very loosely holding hands. The pale grey light of the not-quite sunrise made him look very young and peaceful and all Draco could think of was, You were dead, and then, You’re here, thank Merlin, you’re still here.

He thought of it like this: Draco loved the Manor’s rose gardens in bloom, and he loved the way the night sky held the names of his ancestors. He loved sunny summer days whiled away on a broomstick with the wind in his hair and a hundred empty feet between his toes and the ground. He loved wearing a well-cut set of robes, and cups of tea drunk from his favorite mug on cold days, and books that were so good he couldn’t put them down. And it didn’t matter that none of those things could love him back, that he couldn’t make any of those things love him back. His love for them simply was.

Description:

As far as potion accidents go in general, and deaging incidents go in particular, Draco knew this could have been so much worse. Harry only lost about ten years, and all his memories are still intact. But the sight of him looking as if he’s stepped straight out of Draco’s Hogwarts memories has dredged up a whole mess of complicated feelings Draco thought he’d buried years ago, and Draco really doesn’t know what to do with any of it.
