Chaperoning the Yule Ball -WIP

I'm challenging myself to write this one shot story at 10,000+ words! So far my longest one shot is a little over 8,000, and I have longer stories in the works (read: in my head lol). I want to gain more confidence with the one shot formats before I really tackle the bigger world-building stories.

This one shot has Malfoy being the world's best dad to his very gay son lol and I'm totally here for it! Happy Pride my fellow LGBTQIA+ fam ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎🩷🩵🤍🩶

Excerpt:

“OW! Dammit Granger you really do have to stop hitting me. What?”

“Look at your son, Malfoy! It’s happening! Albus laid a peck on his lips just now. Poor Scorp is frozen up and hasn’t moved for a whole 60 seconds.”

“Salazar’s saggy balls. He gets kissed by the boy of his dreams and he just freezes?! And with a kiss this public, it’s not just a kiss. It’s a public claim. Fucking hell boy, MOVE! Kiss him back!” he whisper-shouted. 

As if he could hear his father’s words from across the room, Scorpius came out of his shock and smiled the dopey-ist grin Hermione had ever seen, then proceeded to blush all the way down to his shirt collar, probably even further if she had to guess. Albus took this as the obvious “yes” that it was and leaned up to kiss him again. Scorpius leaned down to meet him halfway but overcompensated the lean and ended up kissing the boy’s chin. “Did… did he just… Merlin, he just missed! I can’t watch this anymore. Granger, tell me when he finally kisses the damn Potter boy."

Dramione x Clintasha headcanon I don’t have time to write but has been stuck in my head all day long.

Post-war, Hermione decides to become an Auror and with her partner, Harry, they are tasked to track down the last of the Malfoys. Lucius was killed by another Auror years ago, Narcissa is in Azkaban, so they are looking for Draco. They find him, but he’s trying to take down a secret underground Death Eater group, and had to blend in with them to try and destroy them from within. Instead of killing him or taking him to Azkaban, Harry and Hermione decide to help him, and petition the courts on his behalf. Without Draco’s insider information, an uprising of old Hogwarts students might have resurrected the war that they had fought to end.

“Auror Granger was sent to kill me. She made a different call”

JUST. THE POSSIBILITIES. AGDJSJKS.

If I decide to develop it futher I will turn it into Dramione.

[slytherinsanctum]

real life peak behind the scenes: its weird to read about Snape and Draco for months, write about them, share in their communities. 

And then one morning, troopers on your door tell you the love of your life is dead. Now you are the widow. Now you get to wonder if you could have saved them for the rest of your life. Now they are the one dead in their thirties. 

And its just weird. Life imitates art in the cruelest of ways at times I suppose.

you are so right. the only good Draco is a Draco who is in distress. That man should be in pain at all times..

YOU GET ME!!! he was built to be in agony!!!! no happiness for him!! i want him to be a husk that can only hold despair and temporary joys 🫶🫶

[iamnmbr3]

Who do you think died first, Lucius or Narcissa? And did the absence of the spouse impact/change the widow(er)’s relationship with Draco?

why would u hurt me like this? I think Lucius dies first. Probably makes things a little easier later after the first grieving period has worn off because Draco has the most issues with his dad so with Lucius gone that removes a source of tension. Especially if we assume drarry is a thing. I mean. Lucius stood and laughed while Harry was tortured. Harry’s never going to be comfortable with him.

Chaperoning the Yule Ball -WIP

Divorced Malfoy (40) and widowed Granger (41) agree to chaperone the annual Yule Ball for their children's 4th year at Hogwarts. I kinda love writing for older versions of our childhood characters!

Excerpt: (Hermione's POV)

“I suppose I shall endeavor to be a better helicopter parent, shall I? Realistically though I’d say the odds of me learning the fine art of subtly at this point in my life to be less than zero. What if I watch out for your kid and you watch out for mine?” she asked.

“Twenty points to Gryffindor for your self awareness. Okay we can swap kids for this evening. Mine is not allowed to go into the gardens with anyone besides Albus. And he’s not to take a drink from anyone except Rose or Albus. What are your rules for Rose?”

“Wait, you’re going to allow him to go into the gardens with Albus?! Malfoy! They’ll end up snogging at the very least!” she exclaimed.

“It would be about time too. He’s wanted to kiss him for years now, though he thinks no one knows. I need for him to get on with it already so that I can stop seeing him make those ridiculous love-sick eyes at the Potter boy. But he’s not to leave the Great Hall with anyone else. Knowing Scorp like I do, he’ll end up in a kiss that he doesn’t want if he leaves with someone else. Well, except for your daughter. Neither of them are interested in each other in that way I suppose. Okay, he can leave the Hall with Rose too.”

“Kissing is just where it starts, Malfoy! If you let them go out there it won’t be long before kissing escalates to other things.”

“My goodness Granger, what on earth did you do in the Hogwarts gardens?!” Malfoy asked with a smirk and a chuckle. She rose up to the balls of her feet to get a better angle before swinging her hand at his shoulder. “Ow! Merlin’s tits woman, we’re not thirteen anymore. Stop hitting me!”

For an older version of Draco & Hermione I'm thinking of Tom Felton & Emmy Rossum

[hollowed-theory-hall]

Hi

I thought there was a time when jkr said there was a deleted scene where Theo and Draco talked at Malfoy Manor. Even though they weren’t friends, doesn’t this suggest that they had the most equal and respectful relationship compared to other Slytherin dynamics? What are your thoughts on this?

Hello,

Yes, she has mentioned a scene like that and I wish I could read it! Here's what she said:

Malfoy & Nott (Chamber of Secrets/Goblet of Fire) I liked this scene so much I tried to use it twice; unfortunately, it didn't work in either place so I finally laid it to rest in one of the cardboard boxes where I keep all my old drafts, notes, electricity bills and chewing gum wrappers. As in the case of Dean Thomas, I know much more about Theodore Nott than has ever appeared in the books. Raised by a very elderly widower and Death Eater father, Theodore is a clever loner who does not feel the need to join gangs, including Malfoy's. However, in this scene Theodore's father (the same Nott who was badly injured in the closing chapters of 'Order of the Phoenix') goes to visit Lucius Malfoy to discuss Voldemort-related business and we see Draco and Theodore alone in the garden having a talk of their own. I really liked the scene, firstly because it showed the Malfoys' home, and the difference between the place where Draco has grown up and number four, Privet Drive; then because we rarely see Draco talking to anybody he considers a real equal, and he is forced to see Theodore as such, because Theodore is just as pure-blooded as he is, and somewhat cleverer. Together these two Death Eaters' sons discuss Dumbledore's regime at Hogwarts and Harry Potter, with all sorts of stories that the Death Eaters tell about how this baby boy survived the Dark Lord's attack.

(Source)

She outlines pretty clearly that they aren't friends. The dynamic she describes actually sounds like they don't like each other and are forced to interact because of their fathers.

I honestly love everything about Theo she said in this above passage and really fits how I portray him and his dynamic with Draco pre-fic. A Matter of Chance's situation kinda changed Theo's character trajectory and therefore his dynamic with the other Slytherins, including Draco.

This scene paints them as equal in social standing (more or less) since they are both pure-blooded enough to be in the pure-blood dictionary (written by Theo's grandpa) and the Notts are probably rich enough that Draco can't posture with his money to Theo. But she also refers to Theo as "cleverer" (which is how I write him) which implies Draco feels a little inferior to Theo, and he is "forced" to treat Theo as an equal. He doesn't like that or Theo. And I think Theo dislikes Draco and talking to him just as much (or more), considering he prefers to be a loner rather than befriend Draco.

(Also I love how she says Draco and Theo talk about Harry in that scene. I really wish I could read it)

(Also also her stuff about ghost plots, scenes, and characters that just don't work makes so much more sense to me after writing and publishing my own novel. I love how it turned out and I'm really proud of Iridescent the way it is, but I had a lot of ideas and whole characters and subplots that got scrapped because they didn't work. There were scenes I loved that were left on the cutting room floor because they didn't fit and made the story and pacing overall worse. Though some of these scenes and one of the cut characters would make an appearance in the sequel if I get my way. It's a really interesting process, honestly, and I find it doesn't happen with fic the same way since the process of writing an original novel and writing a fanfic are a little different in that regard)

HARRY POTTER HOT TAKES

TBH I miss jily and all the sunshine gryffindor vibes. When did we start to romanticize death eaters like evan rosier and barty crouch like NOT EVERYONE HAS A TRAGIC BACKSTORY SOME OF THEM ARE JUST EVIL. I loveee regulus with all my heart but I absolutely DESPISE jegulus. Like did y'all forget james potter was the no.1 slytherin hater?!

Also I have a bone to pick with people who write jegulus fanfics with LILY SLANDER and WHERE JAMES CHEATS ON HER (I'm coming for yall)

DRACO WAS NOT A TRAUMATIZED LITTLE BABY HE WAS A SPOILED BRAT. He's definitely not better than harry or ron in any way possible. He did not have trauma. And don't even begin to whine about him having a sadder life than harry. FYI harry was orphaned and abused by the dursleys only to come into the Wizarding world and be exploited by Dumbledore and the ministry.

I HATE DRAMIONE/HARIMIONE. That's it. Stop it.

Snape was not a good person and neither was Dumbledore. Snape did not love Lily, he was obsessed with her. Like did everyone forget that he wanted to kill james and harry just so that Lily could be widowed for him? He chose to spy for Dumbledore because it was a safe and comfortable job. Dumbledore literally saved Snape from going to Azkaban and (edits cuz im in doubt) snape also wanted Dumbledore to fire remus because of his ongoing desire to expose remus' secret despite him literally taking snapes side in hbp. " For the greater good" true, but i will forever loathe them.

Despite Harry’s best efforts, Draco Malfoy has spent the last two years in Azkaban. Now that he’s set to be released, the Ministry doesn’t know what to do with him. With Hermione’s help, Harry is awarded custody of Draco. But what shape will Azkaban have left Draco in, and to what lengths will Harry go to to make him whole again? Will Harry find Draco or lose himself?

2. The Happiest Year by TheCrowCrone [T, 31k]

Draco, after being widowed and cursed and left alone with six-year-old Scorpius, stumbles into a life he'd never hoped to deserve: love, a real family, a home for his son. Just in time to die.

3. The Love You Let Go by SoulofBee [T, 5k]

He's been ignoring it for months, hoping it'll resolve itself, but a dream forces Draco to acknowledge the truth: after fifteen years of marriage, Harry is no longer happy.

4. A Most (un)Fortunate Accident by @thisbloodycat [M, 8k]

The storm rages around them, the wind howling like it wants to tear them apart, and that bloody ship, a silhouette against the tempest, is as real and solid as anything. So is Malfoy, standing beside him—impossibly warm, infinite beneath the night sky. And Harry wonders, could Malfoy be the one? Has it always been Malfoy, the one he’s been waiting for all along?

This is wartime/post Hogwarts though I had

MalfoySlytherin!reader is a spy for the order. No one suspects since shes a malfoy. Reader and regulus discover what LV is doing aka the hocruxes and the plotting to destroy them begins….

lightly changed a thing bc we love miscommunication that leads to the character's demise <3

all I think about now - masterlist

summary - the week following regulus's death

warnings - mention of major character death, !reader being badass!

read the part right before

Kreature had told you everything. From the tortures he endured at the hands of Voldemort he had not spoken about. How once he finally told Regulus, it had caused something in the boy's mind to explode. How from then on he decided to renounce the death eater ways and impulsively created a plan to destroy the Horcruxes, starting with the locket of Slytherin.

"He didn't speak to mistress to keep mistress and little master safe."

The words Kreature had spoken in between sniffles and panicked cries had been playing over and over in your mind as you clutched the locket with white knuckles.

Maybe it would have made the situation easier if he had been killed fighting for Voldemort.

"Kreature," you could barely see him over the tears in your eyes. "I have been working with Dumbledore since I left Hogwarts."

That seemed to bring a shock like a lightning bolt through the elf's spine, and you almost regretted speaking. You knew Kreature's loyalty lay with you, but you also knew where his political standing was.

But something sparks in your heart as you watch his ears lower, and his eyes realize--maybe he had changed sides after the horrible things the Dark Lord had made him endure.

So you had worked with him to create new memories. How Regulus died following a potential trail he had told no one about. How he was ambushed by the order and did not make it. With his consent you erased and stole his memories from that night, he assured you that his heart would know the truth.

From then on it had all been a blur of barely meant courtesies and condolences.

Your brother had asked Dobby to pack your necessities and force you to move back into the manor until all affairs were settled. He told you Narssica would take care of Perseus, to which you kept refusing as she already had a one-year-old to take care of. But Lucius had none of it, and in your grief, you could barely argue as he snatched your son away from your arms and placed him by Draco's side in the nursery.

And maybe it was for the best, because every night your eyes would barely close, and when they did they only flashed with the sight of Regulus, drowning as his body was dragged by those monsters risen from the dead.

A few days later you had a funeral without a body to bury. It had been beautiful though. Your brother somehow made an effort.

You were officially made a widow, although somehow, you didn't feel any different. Maybe it was because you had considered yourself a widow ever since Sirius had disappeared behind the curtains of your room that night two years ago.

Maybe because it felt like you were grieving your best friend rather than a husband.

Because you were.

And as you now sat by a windowsill in Regulus's study, that damned locket clutched in your hand, you felt abandoned, lonely, angry, and somehow cheated on.

You could have avoided all this. If he had just voiced his troubles. If he had just told you he did not want this life of darkness anymore.

You could have finally found a way out. Together.

That's all that played in your mind as you apparated to location twelve.

A well-kept office sat in the corner of the large room. Paintings of all sorts laid on the walls, and the chimney was crackling with warmth as your feet touched the brown and red carpet adorning the wooden floor.

The place felt so... homely.

"I have been waiting for you," Dumbledore's voice was calm as it echoed through the room. The tone of his voice only added warmth to the room.

You turned to meet his gaze. He was sat on a comfortable lounge chair by a big library with all sorts of magical books and artifacts.

"How have you been handling everything?"

His question took you aback. Did he know?

He seemed to have read your mind.

"It was in the daily prophet, just two days ago." He pointed to the journal lying on his coffee table by his side.

You took a few steps towards him, eyes finding the journal. You took it with careful hands, and suddenly you spotted the section in the left corner.

An old photo of Regulus was taking up much of the column's space, with a grim title that brought shivers down your spine.

'Yet another soul taken by the dark lord, read all about Regulus's Black tragic life.'

"Oh."

"Do not worry, they have only said good things about you."

"I was mentioned?" You bit your lip before dropping the thick newspaper back on the table.

He gazed at you from behind his half-moon glasses, and pointed to the seat in front of him, "you are very welcome to sit, Y/n."

So you did. You didn't know if it was the softness of the chair's pillows, the warmth from the chimney, or the sense of comfort that suddenly filled your senses, but a dam you didn't know you had placed suddenly broke, and before you knew it you were crying.

You told him everything. From the dream, to Kreature, to Reg's sudden change of faith, to the memories you had taken.

You were sobbing as you handed him the locket.

You only calmed down when he started picking the elf's memory from your mind, only to watch it for himself.

Dumbledore was pleased with the capture of the Horcrux. You could tell by the glint in his eyes when he placed it on his desk, and asked you to join him.

So the both of you stood in front of his desk, facing The Locket of Slytherin.

"You should be the one to destroy it."

"Pardon?"

"Regulus gave his life to find it, he would want you to do it."

"But- How?"

You barely finished your sentence when you felt something metallic shape itself in your hand.

You looked down, the air getting sucked out of your lungs when you saw the ruby-adorned sword laying in your hand.

Dumbledore almost smiled at the sight.

"The sword of Gryffindor..." You whispered in admiration. "I couldn't- I am-"

"You have proven your worth many times. The sword comes to any in need, even if they are... Slytherin."

So that's how you found yourself tightly gripping the sword of Gryffindor, swishing it with all your strength as you destroyed Salazar Slytherin's locket--forever sealing your fate in this war.
