His heart whispers that one night will never be enough, but Draco is beyond caring. All he knows is that he will pay any price to have Potter over and over again.

Just Friends (or Why Draco Malfoy Shouldn't Have Sex in His Office) by anon at dracotops_harry (Harry/Draco; NC-17, 35K words)
Summary: Harry and Draco are Auror partners, friends, and um... well, that's it. Yes, Hermione, that is it. At least it is until Harry catches him doing a certain something that he can't get out of his mind.
