New HC:

Draco has short hair because he doesn't want to look like Lucius and Harry has longer hair because he wants to have something more in common with Sirius.

[serenefreakgeekao3]

Gravekeeper!Draco who just wanted to be left alone after the war, who takes a respectable job that no one could disparage, who ends up befriending ghosts who have nothing to fear of him, who ends up forgotten to the world because the news can't drum up anything to blame on him, who has forgotten the warmth of the human touch,

Gravekeeper!Draco who takes his job so seriously that he keeps each tombstone looking pristine, each grave decorated according to their ghost's preference, who measures out the next plot with precision--- who, upon seeing one Harry Potter collecting grave dirt for whatever reason feels compelled to confront him. Because the fact that he's the saviour, the Boy Who Lived, the stupid Scar-Head who was somehow grown taller and broader, doesn't mean that he can just be that rude and not ask for permission first

Draco, who confuses Harry on multiple levels because, 'Wait, this is where you've been the whole time?' and 'Ask permission, how would I even begin-?' with a side of 'When did you get this pretty?'

(the ghosts in the background, gossiping and giggling and scheming of ways to push the two of them together)

i am very new to drarry!!! so could u share some of ur fav hcs? <33 pleaseeee

offf course!!! im always happy to spread the drarry agenda

-i like to think of draco as someone who always puts on a front, like very haughty and elegant and proper (which stems from his childhood) but the only one who can break it and reveal his soft inside is harry. harry is the only one w the power to reduce draco to a blushing soft mess, and whenever it happens he melts <3

-draco endearingly calls harry an idiot

-practiced casualness draco and touch starved harry. draco will be like “merlin harry, your hair truly is hopeless” just as an excuse to run his fingers through it, and harry js closes his eyes and falls into bliss because he adores draco’s touch

-harry is the biggest simp outwardly, like he constantly compliments/gushes about draco just to see him blush while draco is more private with his admiration. draco likes to show his love in the pockets of alone time they find, whispering sweet nothings in the dark for only harry to hear.

-harry is soo clingy. he will come home from a hard day at work and search the house for draco, just to plop on top of him & curl himself around like a koala. draco doesn’t even flinch, just huffs and pulls him closer

-draco is bratty in bed. next question

-harry sometimes gets jealous of theo no matter how many time draco assures him that they are just friends, and theo never misses the opportunity to tease harry relentlessly by jokingly flirting w draco & pushing harry's buttons

i have so many more thinky thoughts abt them but im tired and need sleep, i will continue to yap abt these two in the future!!

the entire plot of harry potter could have been avoided if Sybill Trelawney would’ve just kept the gossip to herself chismosa

[highonincense]

hey guys, so I have a quick question for y'all, how do you guys envision harry? like we know he has messy jet-black hair, almond shaped green eyes, but apart from these, what are the other defining features you think he has?

So, I kinda collected a couple of pictures that I think come close to the harry I have in mind & I want to know which one of these pics do you think he most definitely resembles

Enjoy!!!

these are the best I could find which satisfy me, so tell me what you think.

Also please share any other fcs you have of him!!!

Something that's bothering me is, you all remember when Draco got a quidditch match switched so they did not have to play in the rain? After the Hippogriff incident?

It bothers me because, Madam Pomfrey seems respected around the school and on top of that a no bullshit woman, and Hagrid also said "you don't want to piss them off, it might just be the last thing you do" or something along those lines.

So I don't believe Draco was faking it. Maybe milking it a bit extra, yes, but I believe that it was bad and the milking was just a mask.

Cause Harry does not know and it was his point of view we got told. So he might just be wrong in saying Draco was faking it, Hermione even doubted he was faking it, as I remember it.

I believe Harry was just angry, maybe because Parkinson was all over Draco? Idk.

harry james potter who grows into himself: broad shoulders and thick arms and legs. wild hair everywhere; head, chest, arms, legs, stomach. hjp who takes care of himself, stretching, running, lifting because it helps with his mental health (he still cannot find a fitting t-shirt so they’re either too big or too tight which can be distracting). harry james potter who starts cooking and eating for himself. harry james potter who can bend draco in half even though he’s shorter

Someone should ask me about my Harry Potter ocs

[potterfan-66]

At A Hogwarts Party

Harry: (Drunk)

Random Gryffindor: (drunk) Potter! How's your girlfriend?

Harry: (Yells back, so everyone in the room can hear) Never had one, not into chicks

Random Ravenclaw: (Also Drunk) Do you like anyone, then? (interested)

Harry: (Yells in reply) Yeah, Draco, Draco Malfoy!

Everyone looks at Draco: ...

Draco: (Downs a drink, whispering) ... I like you to potter (yells) Why don't you confess when you're sober, scar head!

[ink-through-her-veins]

I need a crossover of Uther and Lucius commiserating over their sons’ totally inappropriate obsession with their dark haired boys. It may be the thing that makes them forget their prejudices.

Lucius: “It’s always Potter this and Potter that.”

Uther: “You should hear the things Arthur has done for that boy and all he ever does is whine about how horrible of a servant Merlin is.”

Lucius: “You should replace him with a house elf.”

Uther: “You should burn Potter on a pyre.”

They agree to meet for lunch once a month. 😂

Something we should acknowledge more as a Fandom is that Uther has never forgotten Merlin's name. I always read fics where he gets Merlin's name wrong but in canon he has that man's name engraved in his brain. You can't tell me Arthur doesn't bring Merlin up in almost every conversation.

Drarry Headcannon:

After Draco was given the dark mark, he used to SH where the mark was on his arm. So now, every day at breakfast Harry wraps his arm in pretty silver bandages and giving him little kisses, reminding him that every part of him deserves to be loved.

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

Let me start by saying that I adore your meta. It's some of the most thorough, well-reasoned hp analysis I've come across & you have a talent for tenderly mining and polishing canon connections I've never considered. You've put into words so many of my feelings about drarry, hinny, and the characters as a whole -- why I love them, why I struggle with them, and why they still compel me after all these years. I'm slowly chipping away at your blog and won't stop until I get to page 1 I've found myself very taken with the Slytherins lately--especially characters like Millicent and Daphne, who are either offhand names or caricatures, as well as some of the older Slytherins we see mentioned, who seem to stay largely out of the war (or at least aren't important enough to it for a mention). There are a lot of widely accepted fanon personalities/interpersonal dynamics for the Slytherins, and they're always fun to delve into. But I often find myself struggling to separate canon from fanon. Do you have any thoughts on what we can extrapolate about the Slytherins in canon (apart from "mean, ugly, & stupid/vapid" as jkr describes nearly every Slytherin but Draco)? And if not, do you have any blogs/posts to recommend on the topic?

Wow. What can I even say. I've been staring at this ask since I received it feeling so warmed by your words. Thank you very much for such high compliments. It always thrills me to hear that people get some enjoyment/mental stimulation out of this blog and that my little ramblings are of interest to others.

To some extent, since the other Slytherins aren't that well developed (due to the fact that Harry was too busy constantly staring at Draco to notice anything about them - I mean he literally doesn't even know Theodore Nott's NAME till he sees him spending more time with Draco) there's a lot of room for people to come up with their own interpretations of their personalities.

That said, there is some info in canon we can go off of. For example, we see Pansy hanging out with Draco a lot more than Millicent or Daphne. We also know that none of their parents were Death Eaters. And given that Millicent and Daphne seem to stay away from Draco more later, maybe their families aren't quite as into the whole blood purist stuff as Pansy and her family are. Especially Daphne does not seem to really participate in any of the bullying we see a lot of the Slytherins take part in.

Personally, I always headcannoned that Daphne never liked Draco very much and that while she did hold some anti-muggle and anti-muggleborn biases (similar to those held by most of the wizarding world), her attitudes were more on the level of those held by Fudge or Crouch and she never actually went in for any of the extremist blood purist beliefs or supported the Death Eaters or even had attitudes as extreme as Walburga Black (who thought the Death Eaters mostly had the right idea even if they went about it the wrong way). I also think she didn't much like the pettier behaviors Draco engaged in - the boasting, the bullying, the mockery, not to mention the weird Potter obsession - (or that the people Draco hung out with engaged in). I think she probably found him stuck up and arrogant and vaguely unsavory and tended to avoid him, even if she wasn't as horrified or enraged by him using slurs like Mudblood as someone like Ron or Harry would be.

I like the idea that after the war she and her sister changed their minds about their beliefs about muggles and muggleborns - even if they were never quite as extreme to begin with as those held by some. I headcanon that they two of them were both back at Hogwarts during Draco's 8th year - and that they actually ended up striking up a friendship - once the realized that he'd changed. After all, they were housemates for years. Plus they ran in similar social circles. And they all changed their minds, so that's a common bond. Daphne tells Draco point blank that she always thought he was a stuck up twat and Draco agrees that he was, which breaks the ice.

As for Pansy, I actually think she was more of a hanger on than a true friend. I thinks he and Draco drifted apart in 7th year. I don't especially like characterizations that whitewash the bad things she did - either the bullying or the bigotry or the "rying to hand harry in to Voldemort thing - or that turn her into some ooc mary sue girlboss with no personality other than being a genius who is great at everything and also getting to be mean with no consequences because she's so cool so no one cares I guess. That's not to say I don't enjoy fics with Draco/Pansy friendship if it's done right. But yeah, based on actual canon I see her moving on to the next person once Draco's fortunes were shown to have irrevocably fallen by book 7. Plus it's arguable that she always expected to marry Draco since he was the best match (thru book 6 anyway) but that she always secretly harbored feelings for Blaise. And after the war she got to act on that. After all, in the train scene in book 6 she seems awfully interested in what girls Blaise likes.

For Millicent we have even less. We know she was a bully. I don't like seeing that ignored or seeing her girlbossified. I do like the idea of her going thru her own little redemption arc and trying to make something of herself. I also imagine that she and Draco kind of drifted apart though. I think she ever became a completely nice person, but I like the idea of her apologizing to Hermione and them ending up at the Ministry together and kind of tolerating each other - just one of the many instances of strange, uncomfortable relationships that pop up in the post-war wizarding society as it tries to put itself together.

As for Crabbe & Goyle, I really hate how often fandom seems to forget or gloss over the fact that both of them were actively participating in torturing other students and seemingly very into it. I think the way Draco treated them - as henchmen/servants - always grated on them but they accepted it due to the relative statuses of their families. When the power dynamic between them shifts though, starting book 6 but really post book 6, they seem to revel in Draco's degradation and fall from grace (and we even see hints of that earlier, like them laughing when Draco gets beaten up by Harry in book 5 and not intervening). I find that super fascinating, and I think they are darker, more twisted characters than people tend to give them credit for. Given all this, I don't see Draco and Goyle staying friends post war and I never get why Goyle having been an enthusiastic participant in the Death Eaters' crimes (in a way that Draco never was) so often gets forgotten. Usually post war he gets reduced to a simple minded sad boi who Draco needs to look after. And I'm just like ??? Where?? Especially given that the alternative provides so much more interesting story fodder.

Drarry/HP headcanons - Pt2

Today I'm going to talk about a headcannon of mine that is a bit different from the most common representations I see in the fandom, and I'll try to explain why I think it would make sense! I got some questions about this in the comments of my fic (DMATAC), so I'll leave my full view on this matter here!

Headcanon #2 - Draco and Harry's relationship with food/cooking It is common to see two scenarios in the fandom: Harry loving to cook and Draco being clueless in the kitchen, or Harry developing an eating disorder (I haven't read fics like this, but I know they're out there). And for me it would be neither of those options... I do believe that Harry would not have a very healty relationship with food/cooking after what he went through at the Dursleys, so Harry loving to cook never really made 100% sense to me. It's not something that bothers me, but I just thought it could have developed the other way around. But I wouldn't go as far as developing an eating disorder mostly because of Molly Weasley, and the role she played in Harry's life. Harry was underfed, and sometimes forced to cook in order to eat, so that's something that leaves emotional scars. But the Weasleys and Hogwarts changed this for Harry to some degree, and I think it could have made Harry actually like to be given food, instead of preparing it himself. He would see it as an act of love and care for him, that would fulfill a need of his 'inner child'. So I believe Harry would dislike cooking, but he would love to eat, and be given food. I like to believe that in his daily life he would mostly eat take-out food from restaurants, and in general he would melt down for anyone that cooked for him. As for Draco, he grew up in the oposite situation and not once in his life he needed to cook, and always had food served to him, as a regular pureblood/rich child. So he would naturally develop into some spoiled 'picky eater', that would always complain about food that was given to him. But I believe this would change after the war. Draco would be broken and emotionally scared after all he went through, so discovering himself capable of small achievements in 'lesser' and 'simpler' activies, such as cooking a dish that he liked, and managing to get the taste that he wanted, and that pleased his picky palate, would give him a sense of satisfaction that could develop into a love for cooking something 'perfect', for his own standards. I like to stand by the idea that Draco is good at potions, and cooking is somehow similar, so Draco could develop great cooking skills. After having his beliefs challenged during the war, Draco might try to cook even as an act of 'rebellion' that would go against who he used to be. Now, you can see how this can work out perfectly for Drarry in a post-war scenario, right? 🤭😏😌 That's my version of their relationship with food/cooking, and the reason why I wrote them like that! 😝
