Be careful - this one broke me. So good.
HD-HC FEST 2024 FIC CLAIM
"And there is Draco Malfoy, standing at the epicentre of the breath-taking scene, like the sun in the solar system."
—
Fine-Fractured Halo | 29k | E
For Harry, it all starts on July 31, 1999 and ends on July 31, 2019. Twenty years of longing, love, and pain in no particular order.
Or: An annual birthday party that turns to a yearly school reunion. Hermione and Pansy are party planners, Ron is an excellent baker, and everyone tries their best to attend a birthday party just to see each other.
—
it's angsty. Born from insecurity. 'You'll grow me out, one day.' is my boggart. Wrote it with that premise. It's toxic. Harry's artist and his heart is loudly broken. Draco does research and his heart is quietly broken.
Claimed the prompt thinking It'd be fun challenge with pace restriction. Stupidly picked a birthday (limit the setting to parties) more fun unnecessary restriction. It was... a challenge. Wrote this twice because the first draft wasn't working. Glad that I did!
Thanks to @greattemptation for saving my confidence, commas, em-dashes, grammar, and preposition. Also to the best mod-team of the @hd-hurtcomfort-fest who gave me the excuse to write 29k words of heartbreak. I wouldn't dare otherwise.
(I listened to Lord Huron —'I lied' the whole time writing it. Such a sad song to bring out a sad mood)
p.s. be kind to draco. if the story is flipped and written from his prespective, you'd hate harry.

A sail, a sail!
There were stupider things that Seamus could think of to be doing the day after the Hallowe’en Party, but at the moment none were coming to mind. But someone had to find Neville before the Carrows so he and Dean were creeping down the halls in search of him.
“I bet he just went to Ginny’s room,” whispered Dean. “You heard him mooning over her yesterday.”
“We’ve both tried to get up those stairs, mate, no one can get past the slide.”
They’d almost made it past the tapestry with four dusty trolls in ballerina gear when they were yanked behind it, staring into a flushed face that Seamus, now that he knew he was fine, just wanted to punch. His clothes were rumpled and, Seamus noted, wore the same knight costume, visor now up and showing his face. Seamus twisted Neville’s jumper in his fists, and stared into his well-snogged face. Dean nodded and watched down the hall while Seamus confronted their friend.
“And where the fuck have you been?”
A wide, syrupy smile slid across Neville’s face as he leaned back onto the stone wall.
“I’ve finally fallen in love.”
“Ginny said yes, then? Excellent. I’m sure Harry Potter - her boyfriend - won’t mind that you’ve cosied up to his girl while he’s trying to save us all,” Seamus hissed. An icy anger growing in his chest.
“Who?”
“Whaddya mean, who? Weren’t you with Ginny last night?”
A burst of understanding passed across Neville’s features and he grinned back at Seamus.
“I-”
Was as far as Neville got before Dean hissed them quiet.
“A sail.”
Seamus pulled the tiny muggle mirror he’d charmed to see around corners out of his pocket and he and Dean stared deeply into it. ‘Twas true. It was a sail. One of the many Slytherins in their white cloaks and polished boots that the Carrows had recruited to maintain order inside the castle. Zabini, maybe? He walked gracefully down the corridor until he reached the troll tapestry and whispered into the air.
“I’ve been asked to pass a message along to the young man my friend fell in love with last night. She’d like to know if you’ve found someone to marry the two of you yet?”
Last Drabble Writer Standing is back for round 11 - Shakespeare!
(And it’s a rare pair round!)
If you’re able to vote on next week’s play, voting opens at 10am EST on Thursday morning and closes at 10pm EST on Friday. Eight weeks to go!

I’m remarkably boring in that I label my files with dates and what fest they’re for.
So I have files named things like -
202406 DOND
Or
202405 HD angst with a happy ending
Or
2023 CAFe
I’m so boring.
@phatburd @itscometothis @floorcoaster @ginnysocks

Rules: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it!
Thanks, @mrsmungus for the tag. A lot of what I'm doing currently is for exchanges (yes plural, yes I know lol) so I can't post about them at the moment. But I can talk about some other items from Wolfstar Bingo and such...

A Rose by any other name…
I’m so thrilled to receive admin’s choice this week! I do recommend voting this Thursday @ 10am est to Friday at 10pm est for next week’s prompt! If you’d like to read the first story I wrote for this prompt which included Neville and the Hogwarts Greenhouses I’ve added it to the AO3 link. Here’s the one I submitted -
The clink of the cells at the DMLE snicked into the air as Draco stepped forward. There was Harry, his red auror robes wearing him in the way they always seemed to be and leaning every ounce of his weight on the bars.
“Potter.”
“Malfoy.”
Harry swept his hand towards the back, falling into step as Draco’s footfalls took the echoey corridor towards the witch that awaited them. There she sat, knees drawn up to her chest. The mane of her mother displaying the colour of her father’s but all her. Blue eyes that welled with tears lifted to meet Draco’s own and his lips twitched, throttling a smile.
“Rose.”
“Draco.” The eyes sliced over and narrowed slightly. “Uncle Harry.”
Harry rucked his hand through his hair and sighed. “Your stepfather has paid your bail and you’re allowed to go now. I do suggest telling your mother before she ferrets it out.”
Draco snorted, rolling his eyes and sighing into the silence.
“Shall we go?”
****
At seven Draco found Rose with an erkling in her bedroom.
“You realise it has to go back to the forest around the manor, don’t you?”
Rose grabbed the two-foot creature with bright yellow eyes and a taste for child-flesh and pushed it behind herself. She squared herself against him just as her mother had so often.
“You can’t tell mum.”
“We can find a way to tell her together.”
And it became a thing.
****
At twelve Draco found Rose riding a broomstick around the neighbour’s house down the lane.
He’d moved in by then and when he’d found his broomstick gone he’d gone looking and found her hurling rotten eggs at the window of a boy who’d been teasing her earlier that day.
“Do we have to tell mum?”
“We can find a way to tell her together.” He’d paused a moment. “We’d never stop her from finding out about the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad anyway.”
****
At fifteen Draco found Rose in the loo and sat on the floor, arranging himself as comfortably as he could on his side of the door before lifting knuckles gracefully to rap against the cedar.
“I’m not coming out.”
“I’m not asking you to.”
The comfortable and familiar silence climbed between them and cuddled before Rose was ready.
“They’re arguing again.”
“I know.”
“My parents need to grow up.”
“At least they both love you to pieces.”
A snicker of a knob before a sad blue eye peered out.
“Are you ready to talk to them? I’m here until you are.” And he waited for her. Patiently.
****
When Rose was nineteen, Draco brought her home from jail.
“I think you’ll find your mother sympathetic.”
Rose snorted and rolled her eyes.
“They love you.”
Rose didn’t respond and shifted her weight uneasily, staring up at a cottage where shadows played against the curtains and her parents waited for an explanation.
“Have I told you that they took turns breaking my nose at Hogwarts? They do agree on some things.”
