Oooh.

A friend just wrote me to let me know someone is posting a fic on AFF called Left My Heart.

Here's the summary: "In the beginning of the Last Battle, Draco faked his own death to protect Harry. He was to go to the States until Voldemort was dead and his Death Eaters were captured. Two years later, Harry decides to go on vacation, and runs into the one."

Interesting...

It would only really bother me if it were a direct copy and paste, which it isn't. The fact that the title is the same irks me a bit, but it's not like I claim to have any copyright on the title. I do think, though, that the title is a bit unique, so it seems likely that the two stories are connected somehow. If I were writing a fic that shared a title with another known fic, I'd probably change the title, just to avoid confusion. But then, that's me.

Why can't you write lines like that, my dear?

It's up to you, of course. I'd just point out that there are many stories on the MA archive that have the same title. I also think it's highly unlikely that anyone is going to read her story and think you wrote it. Because you don't come up with lovely lines like the one I referred to above. And your Draco doesn't cry all the time. And, oh, many, many other reasons!
