My Harry Potter head cannons based on shorts I've written-

•Luna sleeps on the deck of their apartment sometimes

•Draco likes classical music and so does Harry, they play it when they do chores

•Harry plays the guitar

•Whenever anyone leaves they put a note on the kitchen counter so no one gets worried

•Draco can finally produce a patronus after the first summer they all live together (it's not clear what it is but to him it's everything)

•Ron makes amazing soup

•Ginny is actually really amazing at house hold spells after watching Molly all these years (Harry almost lost an eye to one of her kitchen knives tho)

•Luna traces the lines of the flowers surrounding Draco's dark mark (he used to hate it but now it makes him feel almost normal)

•Harry and Draco go flying on weekends sometimes

•Luna takes Ginny camping every third Saturday no fail

•They actually have a TV and the gang can be frequently seen watching Sunday morning cartoons

•Draco comes to dinners with the Weasleys and is really close with George

•Harry visits his parents graves often and he can tell who left flowers each week (Draco leaves white roses, Luna leaves sunflowers, Ginny leaves daisys, Hermione leaves lillies, Ron always asks Mione to get yellow lillies because he thinks yellow is a happy color)

•They all clean up Grimauld Place together

•Kreacher adores Draco

•Each of the members of the apartment have a ring that alerts them if one of the others is in danger(One night when Draco was alone he had a panic attack and everyone came rushing home)

•They all call themselves family

•They aren't okay, everything isn't well

•Harry broke down one night crying to Draco about how sorry he was when he saw one of the sectum sempera scars peak out from under Draco's shirt

•Hermione insists on never covering what Bellatrix wrote on her arm (Ron hates it because he still hears her screams every night)

•Collins photos are everywhere in the apartment, in frames, tacked on walls, in book pages

•The first Christmas after the war they have a huge Christmas party at Grimauld place (it's the first time Harry stays the night after the war)

•Ron is terrified of octopus(it was a long explanation when Draco accidentally switched the TV to discovery channel)

•Most of them don't get sleep for a very long time

•Their apartment has a great room which they all sleep in on the floor on mattresses

•Sometimes they wake up in a giant pile

•Draco has never felt so loved

•Ron falls asleep rubbing the mudblood scar on Hemriones arm

•Draco brings Luna meals all the time because he knows that she forgets to eat after she barely had food for so long

•George sometimes crashes with everyone at the apartment

•Harry sends Narcissa white lillies on Mother's Day

•When Harry and Ginny want time alone they go to Grimauld place and Harry makes dinner

•Ron takes Hermione out for ice cream for their first date

•When Hermione gets a new wand their are canaries flying around the place for almost a week

•One night after everyone is asleep Draco is sitting on the deck looking in on his new family and whispers "I love you guys" (only Harry hears it and he never says a thing)

•All is not well, but they are healing and that's the best anyone could ask for

Slytherin content please~🥺💚

As you wish...

Princes don't sit on the Sidelines

Merlin he hated quidditch. Correction, Draco hated quidditch when he wasn't allowed to play. Per his probation he was barred from the quidditch team during his eighth year, and boy did it suck.

"Cheer up, you look like Blaise melted your favorite cauldron again."

"Shove off Pansy I'm not in the mood." Draco snapped.

"Don't be so bitchy Drake I was only teasing. At least it isn't a Slytherin/Gryffindor match. It's only Ravenclaw." Draco huffed and turned back to the pitch. He hated being called Drake as much as Snape hated petunias.

Right when he had finally gotten back into his broody mood Ravenclaw caught the snitch. It was official, this year was gonna suck.

The pitch cleared out quickly as Draco sat brooding in the stands. He sat glaring at the few guys who stayed behind to practice their flying. He missed quidditch so much, but part of his parole was no quidditch and no broom of his own.

Suddenly Hermione plopped down by his side with two mugs of cocoa and a book floating behind her. She handed a mug to Draco who took it gratefully and snatched the book out of the air.

"Slytherin Prince's don't like sitting on sidelines do they?" Hermione said. Malfoy scoffed.

"I hate it."

The pair ended up bonding these past few months before and during school. Having practically everything in common and lots of book recommendations made their friendship flourish. As always they sat discussing Hermiones newest read of the week.

Wrapped up in conversation Draco about jumped out of his skin when Harry pulled his broom around to hover in the air in front of them.

"How would you feel like going flying Malfoy?" Draco rolled his eyes.

"Very funny Potter." His face was not amused. They got along fine now, but Potter was still Potter. To his surprise Harry landed in the stands.

"Come on Malfoy I know you want to, and you won't get in trouble. No ones gonna yell at The Boy Who Lived for trying to make a new friend happy." Draco raised his brow.

"Friend?"

"Friend."

A Little Bit of Yellow

•short by yours truly

The golden light of the sunset draped the small apartment in calming orange light. The residents were flopped around the room lazily as the July haze sucked the energy out of the whole block. In the corner a small cauldron bubbled slowly while its owner chopped up another ingredient on the small cutting board before her.

The clang of keys outside the door prompted Harry and Draco to look up. Ginny came bustling inside with Dean behind her. “What on earth did you buy?” Harry prompted. “Nevermind that where’s Luna?” Dean started to check the rooms for the mystical blond. “I think she’s out looking for guppienarpples in the creek near the burrow. I heard her say something this morn-“ Hermione voice was cut off from the popping coming from her cauldron that had now turned fluorescent pink and was letting off light gold steam. “Okay good, now clear out, bring everything to the spare room. Even our mattresses and blankets.” As if the hazey bubble in the room popped everyone hopped to attention and started moving stuff around. When the great room was as bear as when everyone saw the place for the first time Ginny and Dean started emptying the large bags they brought home.

Tarps and brushes and paints of every color spilled out of the bags until there was a large pile of art supplies in the middle of the floor. They spread out the tarp and then everyone looked to Dean as if they were asking directions. “We are going to paint Hogwarts all around us. Even if some of our worst memories are based there it always felt like home for most of us. It’s where you found a family,” Dean nodded his head in Harry’s direction, “it’s where Draco could escape his. It’s where Hermione and I found a whole new world to explore, and it’s where the rest of you made friends and memories. Hagrids hut will be on the wall by the kitchen door, the castle will be on the big wall, we can put the forest by the front door, and I guess that puts the lakes and mountains by the deck. Well get to work everyone!”

Wands made colors fly across the room while other sat down with brushes in hands detailing carefully. Ginny sat on Ron’s shoulders as she painted the sky they would bewitch later. Harry carefully painted every stone in Hagrids hut with care and Draco painted giant bright orange pumpkins behind him. Neville took to the forest painting every plant he knew and Dean carefully painted the shimmering lake. As the room grew dark balls of light from the delimitation took up residence floating on the ceiling as Hogwarts came to life. Finally they were all gathered around Harry as he put a final detail on the castle, just a little bit of yellow in the glowing window of Gryffindor tower. Charms were thrown to bring it to life by Hermione as the rest brought their mattresses and blankets back into the great room.

Not one person thought that Luna would smile as big as she did when she got home. The feeling of being trapped like she was was gone, all that was left was the free feeling of flying.

Okay so all my stories take place in the same after the war AU as the one I created in my first post. So if you haven’t read it this won’t make much sense, any ways enjoy!

Hogwarts is threatened! Man the boundaries, protect us, do your duty to our school!

Tattoos

Short by me, read bottom note

“Ginny, Ginny wake up!” Ginny’s eyes fluttered open to see Luna and Harry kneeling over her. She looked around for the others but could find them. Lately the seven of them had been sharing a small apartment in London. Ginny, Hermione, Luna, Harry, Ron, Neville, and Draco. They all slept in the great room together, none of them could sleep alone anymore. Every night a new person starts screaming. At first is was Harry mostly. Then Hermione started waking up in a cold sweat pleading Bellatrix to let her go. Luna can only sleep with the light on, she can’t ever be in the dark. Draco doesn’t sleep or at least it doesn’t seem like he does.

“Ginny it’s okay, we’re right here.” Hermione ran her hand through Ginny’s hair. Walking in with a tray of coffee Draco started handing out coffee like he started to every morning. He didn’t speak much but he always made food for everyone and gave Hermione lots of books to read. He noticed the cup left on the tray, “Where’s Luna?”. They tried not to make faces because they knew exactly where she was, but they couldn’t tell Draco. “She must be out, I heard her say something about a snuggleumph going by.” Ron covered for her from his spot on the terrace with Neville.

As if on cue Luna swept through the door with her backpack on. “I almost caught it, just too quick, but I did get something useful.” She opened her bag to reveal the supplies for a stick and poke tattoo. “Draco come here.” He looked bewildered. She didn’t even let him respond she walked over to him and pulled up his sleeve. He tried to pull away. “It’s okay Draco, we all know it’s there, we just want to help you. We’ve lived together for two and a half months now and we know that it’s not your fault. We want to help you.” Harry piped up. “Besides, we’re all getting tattoos!” Hermione said. “Really Mione, even you?” Draco prompted. “Of course!”

Ron pulled a table into the room and they all sat down. Neville got his first, a small cactus on his shoulder. Luna was in the middle of his tattoo when Dean and Seamus walked in the door with soda and chips. They sat down and turned up the radio. Draco’s eyes raised as dean sat down next to him. “What are you gonna get? I’m getting a lion.” Draco paused, he really didn’t know what he was going to get. “Come on you must have some idea.” Seamus said as he sat down next to Dean. “What are you getting babe?” Dean asked Seamus. “A T, for my last initial.” “But your last name doesn’t start wi—oh!” Dean couldn’t get the rest of his sentence out. “It will be someday!” Seamus said as he plopped down in the chair next to Luna.

Finally it was Draco’s turn. He flinched every inch his sleeve got rolled up. He felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up at Ginny, she squeezed his shoulder. Luna made him close his eyes the whole time. He didn’t mind. He didn’t want to see everyone looking at that wretched mark. He gritted his teeth and reveled in the pain. “I’m done.” Luna said dreamily as she set everything down. Draco opened his eyes. The mark was surrounded by flowers of every type and every color. It was visible, but it was beautiful. “I love it.” Draco whispered more great full than he had ever been.

“Hey it’s July and there’s eight people in here, how about we go get some ice cream!” Harry suggested. Seven heads nodded in response. “But dear god Draco please go put on a short sleeve shirt, just seeing you has been making me overheat these past few weeks.” Ron said. Draco went and changed his shirt then they all apperated to Diagon Alley.

As they sat around the tables outside laughing together. They all came to the same inner conclusion. They may have rough patches and they may still be healing, but they have eachother. All is well.

Thank you @writcraft for the May 2018 prompt “There’s something I need to tell you that inspired this fic, and for starting this amazing challenge! Thank you goldwish for the wonderful beta <3

* Harry hummed while he opened the compartment door and dragged his trunk inside. There his friends greeted him. They had been together for a few weeks in summer, but then he had to return to Privet Drive. Not that he minded that much for once. Because this summer, Harry had been sending letters back and forth to his boyfriend, Draco Malfoy. They had even gone out together a few times, and that had been one of the most precious summers Harry could remember.

“Have you seen Draco?” he asked, once he sat in front of his friends.

“He was in the station. I saw him with his mother, but I don’t know where he is now,” Ron answered.

“He can’t be late now then. Is he going to sit with us or with his friends?” Hermione asked.

“Here.”

Harry was worried. Not everything had gone well in summer. During the last days Draco’s letters seemed shorter, snappier, but Harry couldn’t think about what he had done wrong that had angered Draco.

When the train had been in motion for ten minutes, Draco wasn’t anywhere in sight. Five minutes later, Harry went out looking for him.

He found him curled in a compartment, alone, and looking at the window with his gaze lost.

“Hey,” Harry greeted, taking a seat in front of him. “Where have you been? I was worried about you.”

Draco looked at him, and Harry could see the dark circles under his eyes and the look of utter loneliness, fear, and despair that had taken over Draco’s usually cheerful features.

“I wanted to be alone.”

Harry didn’t believe him.

“What’s wrong?”

“There’s something I need to tell you,” he said, rolling up his sleeve and showing him the Dark Mark on his forearm.

Harry and hermiones friendship is god damn freaking adorable

He put his arm around Hermione’s shoulders, and she put hers around his waist, and they turned away in the silence and walked through the snow.
