Reminiscing

~

"Okay, this one."

Lily's irate frustration was a nearly tangible crackle in the perfumed air of the boutique. Draco glanced up over the rim of his spectacles.

"Absolutely not," he said calmly.

Lily's fists balled up in the skirt of the slinky, forest green dress she wore. Thousands of shimmery little beads were sewn into the light, clingy fabric. The slit ran all the way up to mid-thigh and the halterneck straps were beaded strings.

"Why." Lily's question sounded from between grit teeth.

"Turn around," Draco said flatly.

A moment of hesitation, and then Lily spun around to reveal her back, exposed from neck to tail bone.

"Absolutely not," repeated Draco, looking back down into his phone, typing out an email with one forefinger, painstakingly slow.

"It's a dress. You want me to buy a dress. This is a dress."

"I want you to be respectably dressed for your seventeenth birthday party," Draco replied without looking up. "You're coming of age, yes, but you will do so whilst dressed as you ought to be."

"As I ought to be," Lily repeated scornfully.

"As a Potter-Malfoy ought to be."

"Why can't a Potter-Malfoy wear something like this?"

"We don't go out in public half-naked."

"This is a floor length gown."

"The whole length of your left leg is on display, as is the entirety of your back." Draco glanced up once more. "Your whole back. You're practically naked."

Lily"s clenched jaw shifted as she gnashed her teeth some more. With forced calm, she said, "Papa, I do not want to be wearing some sort of Victorian ballgown for my seventeenth birthday party."

"More's the pity. But no, definitely not this one either."

"I can wear a jacket over it." Lily raised one eyebrow when Draco looked up again. "I want a leather jacket."

Draco snorted, shaking his head. "I don't think so."

"Dad said I could get one."

"Your dad is an idiot."

"I want one like his."

"Absolutely not. He's a lunatic with a flying motorcycle. You don't want everything he has, trust me."

"It's just a bloody leather jacket, Papa, please!" Lily actually stomped one booted foot, her voice rising shrilly.

"I'm used to strops, darling, I invented them," Draco said, completely unbothered. "Besides, what would your grandmother say. She would faint."

"She told me to get the jacket in black." When Draco looked up in genuine surprise, Lily went on, "She said black would go best with her opal earrings that she's having reset in silver for my birthday present."

Draco stared at her over his spectacles as she stood glaring back at him, hands on her hips.

Then the bell above the door tinkled merrily, and Harry's voice filled the silence of the stylish little boutique as he exchanged cheerful pleasantries with the owner.

Reaching breaking point, Lily shrieked, "DAD!"

"I will not tolerate that sort of screaming in a public--," Draco started.

"Green, eh?" Harry said, walking into the private area Draco had reserved for the afternoon, his own boots loud on the wooden flooring.

"Because I have your eyes," Lily said in her most honeyed voice. "Grandma's eyes."

"Good choice, Lils," Harry said affectionately, sitting down on the plush sofa next to Draco before carefully picking through the collection of truffles set out in little crystal bowls.

"You haven't looked at the dress very closely," Draco said, voice tight.

"Oh?" Harry popped a hazelnut truffle into his mouth, straightened his glasses a bit, and leaned back, crossing ankle over knee. "Let me do that, then." A pause, and then, "She looks great!"

Draco twirled one forefinger through the air, motioning for Lily to spin. "She's half-naked."

"It's the trend now or something," Harry said, shrugging and scratching carelessly through his beard.

"I want to wear it with a leather jacket, Dad," Lily said hastily. "A black leather jacket. One like yours."

Harry grinned, roughing up his hair as was his wont. "Like Sirius'. Yeah, why not? Let's get you one."

"Harry."

Draco's lips were very thin as he pulled off his glasses and turned the full force of his displeasure onto Harry.

"Don't," said Harry. "We said she could pick her own outfit."

"The Minister's going to be at the party," Draco said tightly.

"Doubt he cares, honestly," Harry said, eating more chocolate. "Besides, it's Lily's day."

"I don't like to be ganged up against," Draco said, teeth gleaming white on a forced, very dangerous smile.

"Babe, we're not ganging up--," Harry started.

"Where is James?" Draco said suddenly, raising his voice over Harry's.

"My ears are burning," James drawled, sauntering in. Draco turned in his seat to look at him, his mouth slightly open.

James' hair was a bright, lemon yellow where it stood in a carefully styled, vertical mass on his head. The sides had been shaved down close to the scalp and dyed green.

Draco could only splutter in apoplectic dismay at the sight.

"What are you supposed to look like?!" he finally managed to ask.

James shrugged, scratching behind one pierced ear. "Dad thinks it looks cool."

Draco whirled around in his seat, now glaring violently at Harry. "He was supposed to get a haircut that's also suitable for school."

"He's still on summer break," Harry said.

"His head looks like a bloody sunflower!" Draco said. "Harry, you had one job--"

But Lily was now cackling loudly at James, who in turn stood grinning proudly, hands in his pockets, fourteen years old and sincerely unbothered about a single opinion that wasn't his own. Harry couldn't help grinning, too, but he quickly moved closer to Draco and took one of his hands with both his own.

"Babe, we've talked about this," he murmured gently. "This is one of those times you need to let go. Remember how we talked about letting go?"

"She's seventeen, and he looks someone cracked an egg on his head," Draco seethed.

Harry leaned forward and kissed him squarely on the mouth.

"How about lunch at the Ritz?" he asked gently.

"And then we buy me a black leather jacket," Lily said, hitching up the skirt of her dress and stomping loudly back to the changing room.

"Life was easier when I was seventeen," Draco muttered darkly, glaring at where their son was inspecting a rack of dinner jakcets.

Harry grinned again. "Yeah. A war, a megalomaniac. I really miss those days."

Take the Moon

by @tackytigerfic (Mature, 15K)

Harry Potter has always wanted a family of his own, and when a deadly blood curse forces him into a marriage bond with his best friend Draco Malfoy, it looks like he might just have found one. Living with Draco (biscuit-lover, no work/life balance, good hair) and his son Scorpius (also biscuit-lover, colour-codes his bricks, proud bearer of plastic swan-shaped garden ornament) gives Harry the routine and companionship he’s always craved. There’s also the matter of the really great sex (because what’s a marriage of convenience without a little fun, after all?) It's just a shame they’d always planned to break up after a year…

This isn't the story of the marriage. This is the story of two hurt and damaged men who learned how hard they could work for the sake of love.

[drarry-soulmates]

Thoughts on drarry

I didn’t like Draco before reading the books. In the movies, they just portrayed him as a bully so I didn’t care for him. In the books he def hits different. :‘V

I mean, he’s still a “bully” in the sense that he messes with Harry, but he’s not actually bullying Harry. He picks on Harry, in the same way you’d mess with your crush, and Harry can more than hold his own. Harry even scares him:

“Missing your half-breed pal?” he kept whispering to Harry whenever there was a teacher around, so that he was safe from Harry’s retaliation.

So… he was scared but so gay, he couldn’t resist becos this is literally the only way he could keep Harry in his life. x’D Imagine being afraid of your crush’s wrath but you just.. can’t help it lol >///<

And literally picking on Harry is the only way he can continue to talk to Harry because after the rejected handshake (and being in different Houses), Draco is too prideful to grovel for friendship. Harry basically condemned their relationship to schoolyard 'enemies’ who will risk their lives again and again for each other. Who’s mutual obsession becomes so obvious that everyone just knows that they look out for each other, despite outwardly acting like they hate each other. When other characters can see it, you know it’s real.

Despite being schoolyard 'enemies’, Harry absolutely falls for Draco so hard. Harry can’t ever stop staring at Draco no matter what Draco is doing (whether he’s acting suspiciously or just eating his lunch), and Draco likewise cannot stop watching him. Draco can’t stop talking about Harry either, in the same way when you have a crush, you can’t stop talking about that person. When i have a crush, i am talking about them literally nonstop. Every little thing your crush does is absolutely fascinating. That is Draco with Harry. Draco’s dad had to tell him to shut up about Harry LMAO. Draco not realizing how obvious he is being:

“… everyone thinks he’s so smart, wonderful Potter with his scar and his broomstick — ”

“You have told me this at least a dozen times already,” said Mr. Malfoy, with a quelling look at his son.

Like, bruh, just pls STFU XD it’s no wonder Voldemort became suspicious of his feelings for Harry:

"He did not come and join me, like the rest of the Slytherins. Perhaps he has decided to befriend Harry Potter?”

lmaoo.

And of course how Narcissa just assumed that Harry, a kid who she must’ve known wasn’t exactly friends with her son (them being on opposite sides of the war) would know or care to take notes about the whereabouts of her son in the middle of a goddamn war:

“Is Draco alive? Is he in the castle?”

The whisper was barely audible; her lips were an inch from his ear, her head bent so low that her long hair shielded his face from the onlookers.

“Yes,” he breathed back.

And of course she was right. Harry did know. In fact, both of them had just finished saving each others’ lives.

Yep.

Harry saved the life of a Death Eater. In the middle of the war. Against Voldemort.

At a time when the less Death Eaters there were, the better. Even Ron had thought Harry was being ludicrous for going back in the fiendfyre that Draco’s friend started in an attempt to kill them:

“It’s — too — dangerous — !” Ron yelled, but Harry wheeled in the air. “IF WE DIE FOR THEM, I’LL KILL YOU, HARRY!” roared Ron’s voice.

Harry risked his FRIENDS’ LIVES.

For Draco.

Draco, who had at this point, openly admitted to being a Death Eater. Draco, his supposed sworn enemy in school and outside of it.

Harry could care less about Goyle or Blaise, he was all about saving Draco. Harry didn’t even notice that Crabbe was long gone at this point LOL.

And right before the fire, Draco did the same for him. After Draco confronted Harry instead of surprise attacking him (knowing full well that Harry is too formidable in an open confrontation), Draco refused to let his friends hurt him as Crabbe was about to unleash a non-killing hex:

STOP!” Malfoy shouted at Crabbe, his voice echoing through the enormous room. “The Dark Lord wants him alive —” “So? I’m not killing him, am I?”

And then: “Don’t kill him! DON’T KILL HIM!” Malfoy yelled…

Draco NEVER yells. Ever. He is always so calm and collected (when he’s not obsessing over Harry). So this is honestly incredible to me that he is yelling….. He is straight-up panicking because his friends might hurt Harry.

And then of course in Malfoy Manor, even at great risk to himself and his family, he doesn’t reveal Harry’s identity. When asked if Harry was in fact Harry Potter:

“I don’t know,” he said…

Although he has no problem giving away Hermione or Ron’s identity.

Look, Draco, isn’t it the Granger girl?” “I … maybe … yeah.” “But then, that’s the Weasley boy!” shouted Lucius, striding around the bound prisoners to face Ron. “It’s them, Potter’s friends — Draco, look at him, isn’t it Arthur Weasley’s son, what’s his name — ?” “Yeah,” said Draco again, his back to the prisoners. “It could be.”

Draco had never been just another Death Eater to Harry. Draco was someone Harry had grown to fall slowly in love with over the years, despite their animosity. And Draco, for his sake, had fallen so hard for Harry, THE sworn enemy of Voldemort.

In the books, he and Harry are obviously hopelessly in love with each other. Countless passages showcase their obsession, including Harry’s constant thinking about Draco’s looks, like his eyes or his hair, or his smirks (Draco’s version of winking). Harry doesn’t think about anyone’s eyes as often as he does Draco’s (Ginny’s eyes we only know are brown.. What shade? idk, DRACO’S EYES HOWEVER). He knows Draco so well, which is shocking because they’re not even friends or in the same House. He knows Draco better than he knows all of his actual friends, except for Ron & Hermione.

He can read Draco so well, even though Draco is a pro at Occlumency because he had learned from a young age to shut down his emotions and present a cold, strong exterior. This again, goes back to his pridefulness due to his rough upbringing under Lucius. But Harry can see through that. And Harry is likely one of the very few that can. (On a side note, Tom Felton said that if Draco had been raised by Hagrid, he would’ve turned out much differently, even been perhaps a hugger. lol.)

Draco’s obsession, then, is even more incredible when you consider that he is actually really good at hiding how he feels. But with Harry, he just cannot for the life of him, hide it. You can’t help who you love, after all. Despite Draco’s obsession being more obvious because he’s just so damn aggressive with it, Harry’s tiny, shy expressions are utterly endearing…. like that time Draco was in the middle of an OWL exam and Harry merely *walked into the room*:

Harry distinctly saw Malfoy throw a scathing look over at him; the wine glass Malfoy had been levitating fell to the floor and smashed. Harry could not suppress a grin.

How adorable is that?!?!?! (from BOTH of them!!!! you’re really telling me that Draco went from getting an O to an E grade in his Levitation portion of the exam just becos of Harry lol. and Harry’s tiny little shy smiles aweee) *squeals* and what’s more:

Malfoy elbowed past Hermione to block Harry’s way up the stone steps to the castle, his face gleeful and his pale eyes glinting maliciously.

“Shove off, Malfoy,” said Ron, whose jaw was clenched.

Harry just stayed quiet. How gay is this scene? Like, a guy who’s blocking your path is a total romance movie trope LOL. I’m just imagining Harry standing there blushing. >///< Ron is often a cockblock, ngl (more on that in my analysis of DH). Harry’s personality in the books is pretty outgoing, and he most definitely has a temper too, towards others. But when it comes to Draco, it’s Ron that gets overly aggressive, even when Draco isn’t messing with Ron. In fact, often when anyone talks badly about Draco, Harry doesn’t. He does talk non-stop shit about Umbridge, Snape, or Rita Skeeter, but not Draco lol……. He hates Snape too, and often compares Snape and Draco, as he thinks about how he hates Snape far more than Draco lol.

Snape had emerged from the staircase leading down to his office, and at the sight of him Harry felt a great rush of hatred beyond anything he felt toward Malfoy…

Even though Draco messes with him far more than Snape does. He loves the attention he gets from Draco, so much so that once Draco has his own shit to deal with in HBP and stops messing with him as much, Harry takes to literally *STALKING* him with a magical map all around the school………….

Despite his determination to catch Malfoy out, Harry had no luck at all over the next couple of weeks. Although he consulted the map as often as he could, sometimes making unnecessary visits to the bathroom between lessons to search it, he did not once see Malfoy anywhere suspicious.

Lmao. Remember, at this point, he still had no concrete evidence Draco was doing anything sus. None of his closest friends who had both been witnesses to Draco’s supposedly sus activities agreed it was anything worth worrying over. But nope, Harry can’t drop it. It’s to the point where even Arthur Weasley knows about his crush……

“I think you missed something,” said Harry stubbornly.

‘Well, maybe,’ said Mr Weasley, but Harry could tell that Mr Weasley was humouring him.

lmaooooo. Arthur’s reaction to his baseless accusations towards Draco was hilarious. x’D It’s truly fascinating how the adults around them just know. Both Draco’s parents and Voldemort, just as Arthur knows for Harry.

The story of Harry and Draco is an accidental horribly tragic love story for both repressed gay boys who are too afraid to actually admit how they feel. :( Their untold love is truly the epic forbidden love story of the entire goddamn series. It had the best most perfect build-up and chemistry, and JKR just like, totally overlooked that due to her irrational dislike of Draco Malfoy for some reason. 😮‍💨

Welp, that’s it for now. I’m in the middle of getting through HBP with my notes. I’ll make a new post once I finish taking the rest of my drarry notes with the series. I still had a ton more to say about DH but i’ll leave it for once I’m actually finished with the DH notes.

Lucius Malfoy & Drarry Fans

I've read a lot of Drarry fic over the past few years and a I have an axe to grind about how the fandom treats Lucius Malfoy.

He is either killed off or imprisoned off-screen in most Drarry fic. It's such a universal trope among fic that I find it rare to find fic where Lucius is alive more often than not.

Why is this?

In the books it's extremely obvious Lucius loves Draco more than himself. He'll endure torture (see DH post Chapter 23) for his family and during the battle he's begging Voldemort to let him find his son. His only priority is Draco. Even before DH Lucius is shown as a father that spoils Draco rotten, similar to his narrative mirror Vernon Dursley.

Draco is shown to admire his father greatly, he quotes his father's opinion as fact to his friends. When he feels he is being mistreated (see Hagrid in, well, every book, and Moody in GoF) by a teacher or is scared his first thought is to tell his father. This is a kid where his dad is his hero. He models his behavior on what he observes from Lucius, values what his father values, etc. If I had to pick which parent Draco has the closest relationship with, it would be Lucius.

My point is, Lucius is a hugely important part of Draco's life. There are moments in HBP and DH where Draco is shown to make choices that conflict with his parent's, choices that result in Harry getting the wand that lets him defeat Voldemort, yet at the end of the series, the last scene we see of the Malfoys is all of them, including Lucius, huddled together on a bench.

I'm so curious (and irritated) why writers and the fandom are so eager to write Lucius off in post-DH fic. The canon has established that Draco's relationship with Lucius is one of the most important bonds of his life. When Lucius is being sentenced to execution or Azkaban post-DH, this should be devastating to Draco. We even have canon basis for this in OotP and the first half of HBP where Draco is reacting to his father being imprisoned in Azkaban to base this on!

I'm not arguing that Lucius must be alive in every Drarry fic, I respect that not everyone wants to explore Draco's relationships with his family vs. more established characters. To be fair, generally Draco is not happy his father is dead/imprisoned in a lot of Drarry fic, or he has complicated feelings. But I'm not here to criticize how Draco feels about his father being written off-screen.

I am criticizing that writing Lucius out (and to a lesser extant, Narcissa) you're really doing a disservice to the narrative and character. It neuters the character of Draco, similar to having Ron or Hermione written out as no longer Harry's best friends and primary relationship. Why is this trope so prevalent and what does it say about the ship? Can Drarry only happen if Draco's parents, his most influential and primary relationships, are cut from him? Can Harry, one of the most forgiving characters in the text, not have a relationship with Draco if his father is in the picture? Is the ship so weak that Lucius being a git to Harry (or not!) is enough to sink it?

I disagree. It's sad to me this trope is so popular. Draco and the Drarry fandom can do better.

Anyway, if there are any Drarry fic recs where Lucius is Alive (no Abusive Lucius please) I would appreciate a link.

[jjuuppiter]

picking up mum at pansy's muggle cafe

or draco's mood affecting the weather around him and pansy had enough of it or the kids used to their dad's dramatic antics or scorpius playing his phone too much and lyra setting her eyes on somebody or i wanna draw another old married couple dramione

ps: draco's mood affecting the weather is inspired by a drarry fic that read a longtime ago where draco had a rain cloud following him around because he was sad

[tantalizingdaydream]

the amount of wealth either drarry or scorbus kids will get is insane like draco has the malfoy and most likely the lestrange fortunes which scorpius would get all of and harry had the potter and the black fortunes and albus would get 1/3 (which is still pretty hefty) like ginny would have a savings mindset growing up how she did but those kids?? harry and james sirius would totally buy a golden cauldron just because it looks pretty! draco would spoil scorpius within an inch of his life! scorpius and albus as dads would mean scorpius would never say no to anything the kids wanted and albus would constantly have to be the voice of reason, which is a little scary

[gryfferin-gaybies]

More Drarry Headcannons

Harry and Ginny end up friends eventually (whether their breakup was messy or not) but Draco will always be at least a tad jealous of her

The friend groups collide, maybe they don't mesh the best at first but they do learn to get along and enjoy each other's company even if it's a frenemy situation

Draco is a worrier just in general about nearly everything but especially about Harry's wellbeing and their children

Draco would be absolutely appalled at hearing Harry tell their kids about his time at Hogwarts because don't give them ideas on how to misbehave

Harry is the fun dad while Draco is the strict dad so they have to balance each other out

Pansy is 100% the cool wine aunt

They were each others first boyfriend

People obviously weren't very pleased to find out about their relationship but Harry is always ready to go to bat for Draco (verbally or physically) but no one wants to upset the Boy Who Lived Twice

[solosolace]

because i can, i was looking through the ships the batboys are in and checking which ones i know, which ones are cannon, and which ones make me happy...

Dick - Kori/ Starfire, I love her she's fun.

(note; Babs does not date anyone in this Au she is just the random cousin at this point if you want to compare to a traditional family 'batman

is more her weird uncle that talks to her dad and sometimes says hi')

Jason- Most likely no one, or someone later on, some of his canon love interests don't feel right idk.

Tim- Bernard, Also love this man, and because @arandomao3user posts a bunch of Timber stuff and I like it

Cass- Also no one, maybe Steph later on when cass is fully settled.

Damain- I would say jon but he doesn't exist in this au and also clark is dating bats soo. no one tho this kid kinda needs to bond with his sibs first anyway

Duke- must bond with sibs, And some how has his gf Isabella.

Harry- I like drarry, but this harry is also just darkness and deals with damian on the daily so really im more worried about pre deatheater draco.

[lostdrarryfics]

It's been so long since I read this fic and I forgot the title, I forgot the number of words it had or the author but I remember the content so pls help me find this fic <3

It's a Drarry mpeg, Draco is the one who gets pregnant with scorpius, it's an 8th year fic.

When Harry kills Voldemort his animagus changes from stag into a wolf because of Voldemort's magic and harry's animagus absorbs it. There's some prophecy that there will be a wolf who will bring peace to the creature world and that's why harry is like royalty and everyone respects him and creatures bow down to him. There's also a scene where Draco gets lost in the forbidden forest and some centaurs (ig) finds him they they felt he is an intruder but harry comes and tells them Draco is his mate and parent of his unborn child and they all were like sorry.

Everyone knows Draco is pregnant but no ones knows harry is the dad, in the story the school believed that since Draco is now harry's friend that's why he protects him.

Ron and Hermione aren't happy with harry but I remember Hermione comes around on scorpius's first birthday, also scorpius grows faster than normal kids for first weeks because of harry's powerful animagus. And at first harry thought Ron would be scorpius godfather but because of how he behaved he made Blaise the god father.

Later Lucius finds out about Draco and he and a death eater (maybe he was a professor idk) but they harm Draco in front of the whole school by using cruciatus curse on him and harry turns into a wolf and kills the death eater. And here everyone finds out harry is the other father when scorpius calls him daddy.

Harry and Draco also have a hidden dorm which no one knows the location of but one day Hermione follows harry and that's when Hermione finds out, it was scorpius first birthday party when she comes there.

The story ends by the end of 8th year and they had to leave but scorpius didn't want to because he was born here and he knew Hogwarts as his home, but harry tells him that they all will always be together and they were just leaving one home and going to another and they then leave for Hogwarts express. Both Harry and Draco wake up from a dream in Snape's potions class where they shared a dream together and snape tells them to write a 3 foot essay on what they dreamt. Both Harry and Draco leave class and then Draco asks harry if he saw it all too with scorpius and harry said yes and both were very happy and satisfied.

Sorry, we could not find this fic. Maybe one of our followers can help!

[drarry!au "in my head everyone is alive": Draco sneaks into Harry's house on vacation]

James: Malfoy! What the hell?!

Draco: Oh, Mr. Potter! Nice to see you!

James: Get out of my son's bed immediately, you fucking animal!

Harry: Dad, calm down! You've got it all wrong...

James: Bloody hell, Sirius! Look at this!

Sirius, lazily entering Harry's room: It all makes sense to me. Another Potter unable to resist Black's charms.

James, rolling his eyes: You're not helping.

Regulus, taking the cigarette from Sirius: What kind of example are you setting?

Regulus: Draco, love, tea? Water? Leave?

Draco, smoothly climbing out from under the blanket: The last one, I guess.

Sirius: Come on, kid. Stay. Stay. As long as Jamie doesn't turn into a deer and point his righteous horns at you, everything is perfectly fine.

Two days later, Draco was in this situation again, but James had already turned into a stag, as he was able to see a suspicious red spot on his son's neck.

Harry: Dad, stop! Nothing happened!

Draco, sneaking out the window into the courtyard: Come on, it'll be fun!

Regulus, lighting a cigarette under Sirius' mocking gaze: Are you going to bewitch James with Petrificus this time, or am I?

Sirius: Let's not do it this time, shall we? I really wonder if James will follow through, or, as was the case with you, let the kid go, as Orion let Prongs go at one time.

Remus, stepping outside with a cup of tea: How about we don't check? I don't want to know if James remembers the spell Walburga launched at him that time.

[wolfpants]

Tucked between a greasy spoon caf and an empty retail space with boarded-up windows, Chariot Books makes absolutely no secret of the fact it’s a gay bookshop. It’s small, but mighty; Sirius and his business partner Fabian have only had it for a couple of years, and before then, their business had run out of both their flats, a mail order service that kept Sirius’s home stuffed full of boxes and paperwork. A clandestine but well-oiled machine, Harry always thought. Sirius took great pride in it too, always seemed to be working, always seemed to be taking delivery of a new title or import from San Francisco or somewhere else Harry has never been to.

Harry still remembers the day they opened, this tiny shop with its floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, wire rotating stands full of paperbacks, posters and notices tacked to the walls wherever there’s space, advertising everything from poetry readings to weekly interest group meetings to helpline and crisis information.

A riot of colour. A riot of community.

Back then, Harry had been fresh out of secondary school in the suburbs, wandering aimlessly toward UCL and a psychology degree he’s still not entirely sure he wants, two years down the line.

He’d gotten the train to London with his dad. A multipurpose visit: to catch up with his godfather, his dad’s oldest friend, and to visit the halls of residence for university because his dad wanted to sus them out before committing.

Nothing like my place at Cambridge, he’d said with an approving, delighted laugh as they looked around the common room together with its vending machines full of pop and crisps and sweets, and the groups of casually dressed kids listening to American pop music on a portable record player set up on one of the plastic dining tables. And later that night, before they went back home to Surrey, the launch party for the shop: Harry staring up at the pink triangle on the sign above the door and feeling a huge sense of pride and admiration for his favourite relative in the world, who had finally made it all happen, after all those years.

--

Today I got to visit one of my favourite bookshops in the world - Gay's The Word - the shop Chariot Books in Pages of You is based. It's a gem of a place, rich with history, with an amazing stock of LGBTQ literature, erotica, and nonfiction. I spent an enormous amount of time researching its history for this fic, my first ever Drarry fic. I haven't been back since before I even conceived that fic, so getting to browse the shelves today was amazing for me! So joyous to see places like this stand the test of time and display their legacy so proudly.

[oh-my-bindery]

Drarry when they about to start having kids, Draco worried to Harry: Just promise me our kids won't have to deal with the shit we went through.

Harry promises.

Drarry when their version of the curse child starts happening(a version that's better written and didn't mess up Harry's character) A angry Draco going to his husband: Potter!

Harry: In my defense they are our children. Of course they'd do something like this.

I live for domestic Drarry just being husbands, in love and at peace doing mundane shit.

Never read Cursed Child, never will. I have no clue what it is about and what happens 😂

But I can imagine if they had children they would be the most unhinged children ever!

“dad said it was okay to fly around muggle London as long as we had our concealment charms on us.”

“Well your father is an idiot and that’s why you should always go to me.” (Draco)

“In my defence, they had fun and left us alone for some ‘us only time’. You didn’t seem to complain when you thought they were just playing around outdoors.” (Harry)

“Obstructing truth is a horrible thing to teach our children!” (Draco)

“You didn’t mind when it meant keeping you out of Azkaban, Potter.” (Harry)

“You are only winning this argument because I like when you call me that.” (Draco)

'Come on, you two,' Lily sighed, rolling her bright green eyes and flicking her long white-blonde hair over her shoulder as she sank down into the seat at the kitchen table between her dads. The atmosphere in the house had been tense all month, and had finally culminated in a big blow-out row two days ago. Neither man had so much as looked at the other since. And Lily had had enough. 'There's only four days until term starts. Are you really going to keep this up after we're all gone?'

'You might tell your father that,' Draco drawled, as he stared down into the coffee he'd been stirring for the last five minutes. 'He's the one who started this whole thing.'

'I did not!' Harry barked, his hands balling into fists on the table top between them. 'It was you who -'

'Enough!' Lily cried, throwing her pale hands into the air in exasperation. The two men froze, glaring at one another across the table, and Lily sighed and rubbed at her temples. 'You've been having this same argument for literally days now. Why does this matter so much?'

'Because Jamie's brave and loyal and thoughtful,' Harry stated firmly, his eyes locking onto Draco's face. 'He's obviously going to be a Gryffindor.'

'Fat chance,' Draco scoffed. 'He's clever and quick thinking and logical. Of course he'll be in Slytherin.'

'Oh, what an absolutely load of -'

A resounding crack echoed around the kitchen, and both Harry and Draco turned to blink at Lily. She frowned at the pair, ignoring the flicker of pride that rose in her own chest. She'd been practicing wandless magic since she'd turned 17 last month, and she was very pleased with her own advancements. But she could try and re-create the effect later. For now, there were more pressing matters to address.

'This is ridiculous,' she growled, eyeing the grown men on either side of her with no little amount of contempt. 'Do you know the pressure you're putting on Jamie with all of this nonsense?'

Harry jolted at that, his eyes - so much like Lily's own - suddenly full of concern. She held his gaze for a moment before turning to Draco, satisfied to see a light flush of shame decorating the porcelain skin that she had also inherited from him. She had their full attention now, she knew. Any indication that anything was negatively affecting her baby brother was always a good way of making sure of that.

'Listen,' she murmured, reaching out to take Harry and Draco's hands in her own. 'Teddy was a Hufflepuff, I'm in Slytherin, and Scorp's a Gryffindor. Why does it matter which house Jamie gets sorted into? He might end up in Ravenclaw, for all we know.'

At that, Draco snorted, and at the exact same time, Harry muttered, 'Not likely.'

There was a moment of silence, and all at once the two men were chuckling, as though the very idea of one of their children being in Ravenclaw was too laughable to ignore. Lily had half a mind to scold them for the archaic inter-house bigotry, but the atmosphere in the room had finally begun to thaw, and she saw the lingering glance that passed between her parents, and decided not to push her luck. Carefully, quietly, she slipped from her chair and out of the kitchen, leaving the two to work through their differences.

Just because she'd rather have to put up with their disgustingly overt displays of affection than the frigid silence between them, it didn't mean that she had to witness it any more than was necessary.

Desperately Seeking... by @maesterchill (E, 34k)

Harry Potter is NOT desperate for someone to love. He DOESN'T need anyone's help to find a date. And he CERTAINLY doesn't want to go on a dating show!
