I’m looking for a dramione fic that takes place in year 5/6. It was on AO3, and I think it is a part 1 of a series. The only scene I remember happens at the end when Draco is trying to leave Hogwarts after the Death Eaters invade it, and he’s knocked Hermione unconscious because he wants her to leave with him. They end up getting separated though.

Anyone?

Edit: Thanks!

“Granger… When a Slytherin offers you a favor, any favor, no questions asked… this is not what you do with it.”

After hearing a number of stories in the Eighth Year common room, particularly about Hermione Granger and her creativity, he had expected something more from him losing a favor to her. It had been done on a whim - he still had had coin to wager, alcohol, any number of things, but a favor… Those were hard won.

A part of him, perhaps, had hoped to have some grand adventure with her, like she had once had with Potter and Weasley, and maybe they could finally move past the awkwardness between them. He had expected some sort of midnight endeavor that righted the wrongs of the world, or at least of Hogwarts.

Instead, his promised favor, no questions asked, had resulted in him standing on the quidditch pitch, his broom and Theo’s both in hand.

“You said no questions asked,” she insisted, her voice reaching a higher pitch than normal, a sure sign that she was stressed. “So, ask no questions. Teach me how to fly a broom.”

A childish part of him, the boy that was still 14 and his father’s word was law, wanted to laugh at her, ask why she didn’t ask her friends, but for once, he kept his mouth shut, grabbing his broom from her and climbing aboard.

It took nearly an hour to get her confidently off the ground, and nearly another hour more to get her to turn right, left, and then feet back on the ground. It was certainly nothing exceptional, would be laughed out of a game, but she was off the ground, and, as evidenced by the dirt on her clothing, that was honestly an improvement from where they had started.

She was no longer stumbling with every landing, and after a little flourish with the end of the broom ( Draco would swear on his grave it was amazing but most would not have even seen it ), she now stood in front of him, clearly pleased at accomplishing what have must been a lifelong goal. He could still remember the little girl that had been unable to even call her broom to her in first year. And now… well, she was off the ground. That little girl should be proud.

Granger was taking a deep breath now, looking at him and he was prepared for some sort of Gryffindor heartfelt thank you, but instead- “Will you take me up with you this time?”

His brow immediately raised in question - the favor part of their exchange was done, but he was a Slytherin. If she wanted more from him, she had to earn it. 

“Only if you’ll tell me why you asked me to teach you how to fly.”

She looked almost embarrassed at his question, and then, it was like a cloud went over her. Her face sunk, pain clear in her eyes, and she withdrew from him, the broom she held in her hands falling to the ground as she rubbed at her forearm. He knew what was underneath her sweater sleeve there…

“In second year… I overheard you, when you said that I wasn’t a proper witch, that I couldn’t even fly.”

Draco couldn’t remember saying it, but it sounded like something he would have said… likely including the word that he would never allow to pass from his lips again. 

“And so, because of something my idiot twelve year old self said-”

“Witches fly.” She had interrupted him, but there was a sense of finality in her words. “That holds true, even in Muggle stories. Witches can fly, and I could not, all because of a stupid fear of heights.”

He felt as though she was not done, but the cloud was growing darker, so he interrupted it himself, climbing back onto his broom and offering his hand to her. “The only way to get over your fear is to face it. Come on.”

She didn’t hesitate, taking his hand immediately, and he helped her up onto the broom, in front of him. She should have sat behind, he knew that, but… well, maybe a foolish part of him just wanted her in his arms. He would think about that later. Right now, all he wanted to think about was kicking up off the ground and flying into the air.

They didn’t speak as he flew, not going too fast, weaving them back and forth, around the towers and the hoops, then over towards the castle as well. She was relaxed in his arms in minutes, but he did not slow. If she wanted to fly, if it was important to her that a witch could fly, he would help her to fly.

She was a hell of a witch. She needed to know that.

They were hovering near one of the towers when she finally looked back over her shoulder towards him. He kept them in place, not moving the broom forward, waiting for whatever it was she was building up towards.

“During the war… I flew during the war. And before, for that matter. Thestrals, a hippogriff, on a broom, on a dragon-”

“You flew on a dragon?” he asked, interrupting her.

The look she gave him told him to shut up, before she continued.

“The point is, I flew because I had to, because otherwise, people would die. I would die. And I was… terrified. I didn’t want to be afraid anymore. I spent so many years afraid, afraid all of the time, and now…”

She looked forwards again, and then down at her hands. He watched as one hand released the broom, and then the other. Her arms went out to either side of her, and he realized, in fear, that the only thing keeping her on the broom was her legs, wrapped around it. His own hand released the broom, arm going around her middle, and he held her to him as she started to laugh, something joyful and young and pure and clean.

She laughed until she was gasping for air, the pair of them just hovering above Hogwarts, young and free and brave and-

“You know the fear I felt. I know that everyone that stayed here, they… I’m not saying Hogwarts was easy for anyone, but my fears were death, torture, ra-”

“I know,” he said, cutting her off, and his arm tightened around her, his lips going to her ear. “Everyone says they know what I went through, but he was… he was right down the hall from my childhood bedroom.”

He felt a lump in his throat, but he choked it back. This wasn’t about him.

“I wanted a happy memory. I wanted to feel like a real witch, no pain, just joy.”

“You are a real witch,” he insisted, and his nose brushed against her temple, something intimate that he could not stop himself from doing. “You’re the most powerful witch I’ve ever seen.”

She was quiet in his arms, and he considered taking them back down to ground, when she turned to look up at him, her eyes big and full of pain… and then, full of trust. 

“You’re the only one I trusted to do this. The only one I wanted to do this with.”

He said nothing, just looked down at her. He had no words for that, no response practiced, no idea how to… the trust in her eyes…

Eventually, she returned her hands to the broom, and he brought them back down to the pitch. He expected it to be awkward, as he picked up Theo’s broom from where it had been left behind, but then she was reaching out, grabbing his hand, and he let her.

They walked together towards the castle, and when she looked up at him with a smile on her face, he smiled back down at her, squeezing her hand.

And she squeezed back.

Damerey Titanic OH MY GOOOOOOODNESS!!!! my day has been made!!!! (Christmas Eve who???) i’m excited! and happy holidays 💖💖💖

I am also VERY excited for Damerey Titanic (did I mention that it’s Setting Sail on January 1??). I’m sure you can very much guess who’s who in the fic hehehehe

Thank you, and happy holidays to you as well!!!

[intojennie]

hi! just wanted to say your gifs are ON POINT!!! they’re beautiful. thank you for sharing your content with us! 💖

omg 🥺 you’re so sweet. thank you so much!!!! this made me smile 💘

[fatenumberfor]

i’m listening to love is a lie rn and i’m just glad winner left it alone. taehyun’s parts in this song have always been the ones to stand out to me. i still think it was pointless to remake the other songs, but yeah i’m glad they left this masterpiece alone!

love is a lie is one of my favorites too! they didn’t leave it completely alone though- I found one instance of them performing it during their 2018 japan tour.

i got a feeling that winner has re-recorded every non-taehyun-composed winner song by now- however winner will prob never perform baby baby or sentimental ever again and I think I’m ok with that

[choaseyebrows]

omg hi you are so kind for sending me this!! yeah, i can't take credit for the idea for that fic (it was a super great prompt!) but i loved bringing it to life! i love ironwidow with a dash of them parenting peter, so i will probably continue to write it forever and ever haha

[xxlovendreamsxx]

just read the new chapter and it really made me emotional lmao. idk, just something about sakura doing things like making him lunch makes me have so many feelings. but yeah, i loved this chapter!!! AAAAAHHH i can't wait for the next! and i said this in my review on ff - don't worry, take your time! we love you and your writing, so we'd gladly wait an eternity if we had to! know what i mean? anyway, amazing chapter!!! (also the smut scene was A++++ lol)

Awe, I’m glad it made you emotional!! That was the point really 😊 because we all know it’s never just sex with these two. But I’m so, so glad you liked it so much ❤️❤️

[seyaryminamoto]

hey seyary! i know gladiator is your baby, but your other fics deserve love, too! so here goes... i think in the past you said your least fave is the reason? but it has so many cute moments! and it was a damn good job for your first fic. and omg the love advisor is prob my fave!!!! it has a special place in my heart. aaaah i love it so much! and let's not forget the one where sokkla do it during katara's wedding lmao. i really love all your fics! thanks for blessing us, girl! ❤

Why, thank you! But… I really hope I never said that x’D

The Reason is probably amongst my best, and I still love it despite I haven’t touched it in eons xD but at the time it was my personal best outcome for canon and tbh it’s still what I wish could happen with these two in canon. But what can ya’ do, right? At any rate, I do hope I never said it’s my least fave because it’s not… and it’s also not my first fic :’D

The first one was Origins! Yep, I wrote the sequel before the prequel, what can I say, that’s how much sense I make xD but alas, I wrote Origins after being inspired by a former friend to draw the ATLA cast doing probending (this was right in the LOK Books 1 and 2 hiatus, so yeah, I was a very innocent summer child at the time). I thought about the idea one day while on my way home on a bus… and the storyline for it occurred to me then.

Now, there’s a LOT I would have done differently if I had written OOPB a little later, once I had analyzed the show more thoroughly. I do hold OOPB in high esteem anyways, since without it none of this would have happned (seriously, I was mostly writing Sokkla for the fun of it, to see what would come out of it, and when I started writing actual romantic scenes between them my brain was whammied by the overwhelming potential they had as a couple… and that wouldn’t have happened without OOPB!), but there’s a lot of stuff about it that probably would be different if I wrote it nowadays. And, of course, my writing evolved a lot since then… so basically, in every sense, OOPB is probably the least impressive of my stories.

As for Bad Girl, ehehe, glad you liked that one so much x’D that’s the kind of thing that only happened because Gladiator was driving me crazy with all the UST. So yep, I went all out with it and it gave me a direly needed break from Gladiator’s hella long build-up xD

And the Love Advisor is your favorite? I’m surprised, but not in a bad way! xD it just doesn’t get a lot of love, but I’m glad you liked it that much. It was a lot of fun writing that one, I still laugh to myself when I remember Sokka trying to ask Mai out only for her to slam the door in his face xD dang Azula and her wicked schemes…

Thanks for the ask, really! xD makes me happy to get love for my work, all around. It’s no lie that pour my heart out into Gladiator, but my other stories are still important to me, even if Gladiator’s the big spoiled baby who pushes the others aside and steals all my attention xD But thanks! I really am glad you love them, and I sure hope you keep enjoying my stories! :D

[dramioneasks]

hi! i’m trying to remember a fic but i only remember a few details. D and H are hiding in the woods in a safe house (?). H doesn’t want to use the floo to communicate because it’s probably being watched by the death eaters but she eventually uses it to call harry. i think there was also a bunny or some animal in the woods that followed H around and helped D find her when she got lost/wandered away at some point. thank you so much and congrats on reaching 18k!

Anyone?

Also thank you! <3

Edit: Thanks!

hi! that time you were gone from tumblr definitely felt like the dark ages, so i’m glad you’re back and writing again (not bc i’m a greedy reader, but bc it’s so nice to see you gush about characters/stories that you really love, know what i mean?). i followed you long ago for rebelcaptain, got excited when you wrote dramione, and now i’m eager to start watching bridgerton so i can read more of your work. i hope everything with the move is okay and that you (and your family) are okay as well! ❤️

shut up ahhhh no. I mean yes I was gone a hot minute but definitely not the dark ages there are so many great RO writers, seriously. And like, I really did not like like half of what I put out for RC, because I wasn’t really practicing my writing the way I should have been. I’m definitely much happier with the things I put out these days.

I’m going to be writing more Dramione! I have lots of WIP in my google docs, just not currently publishing anything, but I will be soon soon soon!

Watch bridgerton ASAP. It’s totally bingeworthy.

[ikonis]

chanwoo looks so cute in that gifset (the one with the confetti flying everywhere). his chubby cheeks are adorable! anyway, your gifs always look so good! thank you for all that you do (having links, loving ikon, defending them, making gifs, etc.)! ❤

It‘s nothing T.T thanks for appreciating our work 😭♥️

[dracosollicitus]

hi, i hope you stay safe! 💖 1) what’s your favorite outfit to wear? 2) in many AUs, bb8 is a dog (corgi). if poe had a pet bird, what kind of bird would bb8 be?

Hi thank you!! Same to you and your loved ones

1) favorite outfit is my bright orange pleated skirt and my squirrel button down from Loft tucked into it with a pair of grey or brown boots!! I also love my cozy Star Wars sweatshirt that’s brown and goes to my knees and a pair of leggings.

2) BB8 would definitely be a cockatoo!! I think @aimmyarrowshigh and I kicked around the idea for a bird bb8 AU once!
