A quick, dirty and fluffy piece to help me relax from the hellish week :)

“I need your help,” Harry says.

He’s standing in the 8th year common room, pacing up and down in front of the fireplace. The carpet is soft underneath his bare feet; he curls his toes, burying the ends in the threads.

“Well that’s a first,” Pansy mutters. She’s lying upside down on the couch, legs thrown over the backs of the cushions and dark hair spread out on the floor. Blaise is leaning next to her, his head against her knees. “Like honestly. I think this is the first time today that you’ve requested our assistance.”

“I didn’t ask for help at all today!”

“Bullshit!” Blaise counters cheerfully. “Utter and complete bullshit!”

“When did I - “

Pansy sniggers. “Breakfast time. ‘Oh do you think I should bring Draco some toast or do you think that it comes off as too boyfriendy? He likes marmalade, or is it strawberry jam, which one is it? Do you know Pansy? Should I even bring him anything?’”

Harry scowls. “It was 7! He was going to be late for classes!”

“How sickening,” Blaise mutters under his breath. “God I hope I never end up like this.”

“You don’t have a boyfriend,” Harry reminded him.

“Sure I do. I sneak into your bedroom and jack off watching you and Draco fuck. I call it my one man, one hand relationship.”

Harry groans, burying his head in his hands. It was always an effort dealing with Pansy and Blaise - he never knew if they were actually going to help him or humiliate him. He wondered how Draco was able to survive.

“Look,” Harry says, slowly. “It’s almost...it’s our 4 year anniversary. And I feel like I should...I don’t know. Get him something?”

Pansy rolls her eyes. “Jesus. Take the day off class and fuck him.“

“I can’t miss class!”

Blaise sighs. “Sure you can. You’re the Boy Who Lived. You could rent out an entire sex dungeon and no one would blink an eye.”

“I’m not - “

“Or,” Pansy mused, her lips pursed in concentration, “You could rent out a cabin. Something high up - in the mountains maybe. You’d start off simple - making breakfast - “

Blaise cut in. “Wearing nothing but an apron - “

“And maybe a chef’s hat - “

“Do you guys fantasize about me fucking Draco or something?” Harry splutters, his face going red. “Seriously, every time I attempt to talk to you, you always make this so dirty.”

Blaise shrugs. “Speaking as someone who fucked Draco for a good 5 months or so - “

“Can we not?” Harry groans. He’s pretty sure his face is on fire, his cheeks burning. It took ages for him to get used to this, the absolute disregard for boundaries that the Slytherins all shared. Pansy gives him a small smile.

“Oh please. You honestly think that we didn’t get all the details the first time you and Draco banged? We know everything, Potter. Your kinks, your turn-offs - “

Blaise shakes his head. “The size of your schlong.”

“Hairy Pounder,” Pansy remarks, and they collapse into hysterics. Harry watches them helplessly.

“You’re not being helpful!”

“I know,” Pansy says, the smile abruptly vanishing from her face. “You know what? I know exactly what you should do for your anniversary.”

“Oh yeah?” Harry says sarcastically. “And what’s that?”

“Pierce your balls,” Pansy replies, her face utterly serious.

“Or better yet,” Blaise interjects, “Get him to pierce your balls.”

“I’m done!” Harry throws his hands in the air. “Why I came to you guys, I don’t know.”

He turns, stomps down the stairs with all his might, leaving Pansy and Blaise shrieking with laughter in the room behind him.

“We charge $500 for consultation fees!” Blaise yells out.

“Fuck off!” Harry shouts back, and slams the door.

4 & 5 out of 7 (auror partners and beards!!) ( 1&2 ) ( 3 )

[ainskelion]

On the day that Draco first saw Harry Potter, he was 11.

He was standing in the robe store, being measured for his 3rd pair of robes. His father’s voice rang in his head. You are a Malfoy. You must be the best, because you represent our family. Everyone else is beneath you.

So he stands there, the weight of his lineage pulling down on his shoulders. He’s only 11, but he manages to keep his chin high, keep that smirk plastered on his face. You are made of granite, he tells himself, over and over again.

He hears the door open behind him, the tinkling of the bell making him turn around slightly. There was a boy standing there, messy black hair and emerald green eyes and a scar that looks like lightning on his head. For a moment, they lock eyes, and Draco feels himself mouthing words. Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived.

It confused Draco, how one could be so famous, and yet look so normal. Harry looked confused, one hand gripping the bottom of his T-shirt as he asks, “Um…excuse me? I need…I need new r-robes and they said to come here?”

Then the bustling came, the assistants almost bowing in their hurry to attend Harry, and Draco tore his eyes away, staring into nothingness as he tried to compose himself.

On the day he knew that Harry was his enemy, Draco was nervous.

His heart pounds in his chest, sweat trickling down the back of his too-stiff robes as he stands in line. The hall was so big, candles illuminating the darkness like starlight as Draco noted the hundreds of eyes that looked up at them. He glances over at the farthest table, the one draped in gold and crimson and lions, and his heart aches for a moment before he catches himself. He was a Slytherin, the only house he belonged in, and he forces himself to smirk, to gaze towards the silver and emerald silks at the back of the hall. For a moment, he flashes between the emerald of the table and an emerald pair of eyes, and he shrugs. There was a chance, wasn’t there? A chance for them both to be in the same house?

He shakes the thought, that familiar mask of arrogance sliding onto his face as his name is called and he strides forwards, onto the stage.

He feels his heart stop as the Hat was put onto his head, but without pause, it bellows out his fate. Slytherin!

So he sits down at that table, the one of green and silver, and waits for Harry Potter to be sorted.

On the day he duelled Harry, Draco was furious.

It was second year now, him and Harry and that ridiculous dueling club that Lockheart and Snape were running. He wanted to curse Snape, turn around and bolt out the door, because why in the nine realms of hell did Snape put him with Potter?

It was always them, Draco and Harry, two sides of an ancient coin. Slytherin and Gryffindor, light and dark, the Boy who Lived and the Boy who was Damned. He laughs at the thought, shaking it off as he turns around and stares into his enemy’s eyes and prepares to duel.

On the day he realized there was something more, Draco was injured.

It started with the Hippogriff. Harry was riding it, black hair rustling in the wind, the light illuminating him from behind. Draco stood, on the hard, frozen earth, and had laughed. Because how could he not? They were enemies, the past 3 years making sure that that line was damn clear, and yet here Draco was, staring at Harry. For a moment, his eyes traced him, the hard lines and the soft edges, and he clenched his fists.

It was stupid, meaningless. It was pointless to even consider it. Draco had chosen his side, and Harry his, and nothing could change that now. They were enemies, rivals, and Draco was falling in love. He opens his hands, examining the cuts now carved into his palms, and tries to forget about Harry.

On the day that he actually talked to Harry Potter, Draco was terrified.

He was sitting in the library, behind one of the shelves, the bottle of healing potion in front of him. It sang to him, of numbness and softness and sleep, and he reaches forwards, drinking the contents. Each sip whispered of silence, each swallow another step closer to oblivion. So he sat there, drinking and drinking, anything to forget the letter.

His father had written to him, talking of marriage and happiness. Draco was only 14, still young, still whole, and he was engaged to a cousin he had never met. He takes another sip, his head spinning and his heart cracking, and he was just so damn tired.

When he hears the footsteps, Draco was too numb to do anything. He sat there, head on his lap, not even bothering to go for his wand as the person approached. He hears the footsteps stop, and he glances up, cursing, as he stares at the person he doesn’t want to see.

Harry is standing there, awkwardly shifting as he says, “Hey. Malfoy. You…you alright?”

And maybe it’s the question, or maybe it’s the fact that he’s never had anyone ask him that before, but suddenly Draco is crying and Harry is awkwardly holding him, one hand wrapped around Draco’s neck. Harry smells like parchment and cool air and wood, and Draco finds himself relaxing into Harry’s arms.

On the day they met for the tenth time, it was midnight.

He didn’t know how the meetings happened exactly. It was after the conversation in the library, where one thing lead to another, and soon they were meeting up in secret, just to talk.

He paces up and down the corridor, in front of that wall, thinking the same phrase over again. I want to see Harry, I wan’t to see Harry, I want to see Harry.

On the third time, a highly polished door appeared, embedded in the wall. Draco doesn’t hesitate, seizing the handle and yanking the door open.

It looked like an old tea shop inside, a cluster of wooden tables and chairs, candles illuminating the room. Harry was there, feet up on the table, and as Draco walks in, he smiles. “Hey, Draco.”

Draco wasn’t sure when he became Draco, and not Malfoy. The sound of his name being spoken by Harry sends a pleasant shiver through him, and he pulls out a chair, sliding into it. “Harry.”

And they talk and talk, about dead parents and muggles and silver-edged canes, and when they finally exit, it’s 4:00 in the morning.

On the day Draco realized he loved Harry, he was watching the Tri-Wizard tournament.

They were standing there, watching the Maze and the Champions, the cool air biting at their faces. Draco was lounging, pretending that he didn’t care, pretending that he didn’t give a damn whether Harry won or not. He sips his Butterbeer, eyes lazily scanning over the hedges below him.

The wand sparks came after 15 minutes.

A huge pillar of them, red and gold and white shooting into the air. All around him, people were muttering, wondering who the coward was. Draco shrugs, trying not to show his worry as he scans the maze again, because goddamn it, it better not be Harry who was hurt. He shrugs, takes another sip of the Butterbeer, anything to dull the fluttering in his stomach.

Then the scream happened.

A high pitched scream, echoing over the fields. It was the sound of someone getting tortured, someone getting hit with Crucio. Draco was standing, the bottle in pieces around his feet. He didn’t give a damn though, his heart pounding, as he watched. Please not be Harry, please not be Harry.

The muttering ceased, and Draco feels the breath whoosh out of him as he sees Fleur being carried away. Relief flows into his blood, as he collapses on the chair. It was interesting, he thinks, that he felt so strongly about someone that even the Tri Wizard Tournament scared the crap out of him. A word flashes in his head, but he ignores it, shakes it quickly, focusing instead on the maze.

It’s almost 30 minutes before he sees the figures approaching the center. Even from this far away, he can see Harry, limping, and his throat tightens. Cedric is there too, and Draco watches as they both close their hands on the cup.

And he’s never known terror, not like this, as he sees the two of them being whisked away, a blur of yellow and red. Draco is frozen, panic surging through his body, as all around him the screaming starts. He can’t do anything, can’t move, can only stand and stare at the place where the boy he loved disappeared.

On the day he kissed Harry for the first time, they were outside.

They had gone behind the greenhouses, walking through the cold air. Draco was talking, spinning a tale of silences and marble and a cold home. “It’s hard. Just…” He exhales. “You’re locked in. There’s no other way to put it. You’re locked in and you’re screaming, because all you want to do is escape, and you can’t say anything, because you have to be perfect all the fucking time.”

Harry nods, his voice soft. “I know. I know, Draco.” He reached up, brushes a stray strand of hair from Draco’s face. “It’s a prophecy. You try to live, try to escape, but you can’t. Because everything, everything, rests on you.”

Draco laughs, his voice bitter. “But that’s just the thing, right? I can’t complain. Because I’m not marked for death, I’m just slowly killing myself inside trying not to fall apart and I know that there’s something wrong with me and I have to hide it -“

Harry’s voice is firm. “There’s nothing wrong with you.”

Draco shakes his head. “Isn’t there?”

Harry grabs his arm, staring at Draco. Draco looks back, into the deep green eyes of his supposed enemy as Harry breathes, “No. There’s not.”

And then Harry’s leaning forwards, and Draco’s leaning forwards, and they are kissing so hard that Draco goes blind. The rain pours down on top of them, plastering Draco’s hair to his face, and he runs his hands along Harry’s back, pulling him closer, and God, he’s wanted to do this for so damn long and now they finally are together after 5 years. He can’t move, can’t talk, can’t do anything but breathe Harry in and kiss him harder as they stand there beneath the stars.

Dear JK, I think you’re confusing implication with representation. The implication that Dumbledore and Grindelwald were teenage lovers was so vague that my bible-belt living, Sunday’s-are-for-Jesus-and-football more-suspicious-than-aunt-petunia homephobic mom didn’t catch a whiff of it. 

Subtlety does not always equal successful storytelling.

After the holidays spent apart, Draco and Harry meet on the train. Both missed each other)

[ainskelion]

“What he really wanted was someone like — someone like a parent: an adult wizard whose advice he could ask without feeling stupid, someone who cared about him (…) . And then the solution came to him. It was so simple, and so obvious, that he couldn’t believe it had taken so long — Sirius.” (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)

Harry gasped and arched off the bed as Draco twisted his hips and rocked forward, feeling the pleasure and sweat slide down his spine. He loved Draco like this: nearly frenzied on heady alcohol, steamy clubs and thumping bass. Harry adjusted his grip on those skinny hip bones, watching as his cock disappeared again and again into the pliant body above him. Draco’s thumb pressed to Harry’s top lip and curled it back to expose his canines; the move diverted Harry’s attention away from Draco’s hips to his face.

He caught his lover’s eyes glinting in the moonlight, drawing him in. Draco’s pupils were like dark pools of lust, and his deep collar bones collected glistening sweat in the cooling summer air. Harry slid his hands up Draco’s body, finding the familiar path to his chest, teasing him in the way he knew he liked. Draco’s hand moved from Harry’s face and dragged through his long, dark hair; his hand threaded into the knot tied haphazardly on the top of his head.The fingers in his hair tightened and Harry tensed, his abs flexing in anticipation. Draco’s pace didn’t falter as he rode Harry with ease. Their bodies slid in tandem towards climax.

Draco pulled Harry’s head towards him and arched down to capture full lips with his own. Harry accepted him, and pulled him close, trapping the smaller cock between their bodies. Draco groaned into his mouth. He could still taste the rum on his tongue.

Harry felt his name moaned against his lips and tilted his head to deepen the kiss. His hand slipped between their bodies and curled around his lover’s throbbing prick. Draco gasped and twitched in Harry’s palm. Harry moaned as Draco impossibly increased the frantic pace already  set.

A burning pain in his scalp had Harry gasping as Draco pulled him roughly from the kiss, his neck laid bare and arched. Vulnerable. Harry shivered as Draco’s mouth moved downward- tracing the taught muscles under his chin with smoldering lips.

Draco righted himself suddenly, his eyes half-lidded and lust-driven. Harry watched his own hand sliding slick over Draco’s red, straining cock and felt the coil in his belly surge bright hot. Draco, both conqueror and conquest, faltered in his pace; pounding down once— twice—

“Look at me,” Draco gasped, his fist nearly ripping Harry’s hair from the root as pleasure tore through him. Harry met his eyes and watched his lover tumble over the edge, sinking down on Harry’s cock and grinding his hips forward. Harry tried to keep his eyes open as the orgasm captured him, watching the moonlit eyes roll back in pleasure.

If you hear me cackling from the bathroom it’s probably becuase I’ve just read “gentle douche” on the soap bottle.
