I'm pretty sure I followed you a long time ago when I was in Marvel fandom and I'm delighted I found you again!
I remember that you had great fic recommendations and seeing that you're in hp fandom too just makes me so happy! I just finished the books (I would have read them long ago, but they were banned at my home) and I'm knee deep in drarry now and I completely understand the hype for those two idiots.
Do you have lists for long (I'm talking+80k) fics I could start with? Preferably gay/lesbian parring 🙏 and thank you in advance
Oh wow what a lovely ask! Thank you so much and welcome back!
You can check out my fic rec tag here for a ton of good recs. Here are a few good ones to get you started - mostly drarry with some other excellent ship and gen fics thrown in as well for good measure.
Running on Air by eleventy7 (words: 74,880 | rating: T | Drarry)
Draco Malfoy has been missing for three years. Harry is assigned the cold case and finds himself slowly falling in love with the memories he collects.
Amulette d'amour by The_Carnivorous_Muffin, Vinelle  (words: 105,428 | rating: unrated | Tom Riddle/Alphard Black)
Tom is commissioned to repair a magical amulet.
Nero su bianco by zuzallove (words 40,507 | rating: E | Drarry)
September 1997. Hogwarts is under the regime of Voldemort and the Carrows. Finding himself alienated by both his friends and his supposed enemies, Draco puts quill to parchment, and writes letters. He addresses them to the only person he can think of, as Hogwarts rapidly falls into chaos and ruin: Harry Potter. He goes to great lengths to ensure the letters are never discovered, and he’s pretty certain he’s done a great job. Until the day of his trial.
Ouroboros by Metalomagnetic (Words: 258,416 | rating: E | Voldemort/Tom Riddle)
A strange man adopts Tom Riddle and it is not his father, as Tom desperately wants to believe. Stranded in the past, Voldemort once again comes to the conclusion he's the only one he truly needs.
At Your Service by Faith Wood (faithwood) (words: 95,752 | rating: E | Drarry)
Hogwarts students are in danger; Harry is determined to save them all. There's only one thing he knows for certain: Draco Malfoy is somehow involved.
you've got the antidote for me by Kandakicksass (words: 20,730 | rating: M | Drarry)
When Harry Potter unintentionally severs their soulbond before it can fully form, Draco Malfoy resigns himself to a slow death and decides not to burden Harry with a soulmate he's made it very clear he doesn't want. He's never been selfless before, but for Harry, he can try.
The customer is always right by Metalomagnetic (words: 7,200 | rating: unrated | gen)
In the summer of 1945, Caractacus Burke hires a new assistant to help with the shop. His son doesn't know what to make of Tom Riddle, the young charismatic man that doesn't seem to mind working hard for just a handful of coins.
Your Friend, James by TedwardRemus (words: 5,330 | rating: T | Lily/James)
It is the summer before their 7th year, and Lily and James spend the entire holiday writing letters to each other as their relationship slowly changes from friends to something more.
Tea and No Sympathy by who_la_hoop (words: 70,045 | rating: E | Drarry)
It's Potter's fault, of course, that Draco finds himself trapped in the same twenty-four-hour period, repeating itself over and over again. It's been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco's getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always. At first, though, the time loop seems liberating. For the first time in his life, he can do anything, say anything, be anything, without consequence. But the more Draco repeats the day, the more he realises the uncomfortable truth: he's falling head over heels for the speccy git. And suddenly, the time loop feels like a trap. For how can he ever get Harry to love him back when time is, quite literally, against him?
of all my demon spirits by basketofnovas (slashmarks) (word: 1,730 | rating: T | Gen)
After the end of term, Ginny gets a new diary and struggles with the events of her first year.
War Paint by provocative_envy (word: 18,876 | rating: E | Tom Riddle/Hermione Granger)
It was small, slim, about the length of her hand; the leather cover was soft, the sewn-in binding was crisp, and the thick vellum pages were empty. 'Tom Marvolo Riddle' was printed in ancient, flaking gold leaf across the front. He had been a Slytherin, a prefect, and head boy in 1944. She had checked. [ ALTERNATIVELY - Hermione finds Tom Riddle's diary. ]
The Unwinding Golden Thread by The_Carnivorous_Muffin   (words: 50,260 | rating: T | Gen)
In his fifth year Tom Riddle discovers his destiny and meets the cold, alarming, and bizarre transfer student Harry Evans. But sometimes things unravel in ways we do not expect.
Denude by Faith Wood (faithwood) (words: 4,172 | rating: E | Drarry)
This is a HBP AU. It's set a few days after the Sectumsempra scene and takes the story in another direction, asking the question: "What if the Sectumsempra scene had a greater impact on Harry and Draco?" Harry and Draco are sixteen. In medias res beginning. Non-linear storytelling.

Hey, I recently got back into writing drarry. I never really found a community on here (or anywhere 😅) to share that writing with, get encouragement, maybe a beta or some help with difficult scenes - anything. Do you have any advice?
I have a very stressful work schedule, so being online/replying everyday is hard for me. Maybe that is necessary to find people?
Hi my friend! Thank you for reaching out! I'd apologize for my slowness in responding, but maybe that's a perfect answer to your question. The short answer is: you're welcome here, with whatever time you have to share. We all have robost lives offline, and some spend more and less time around online than others. You're welcome here, even when you can't be online every day or be as responsive as some other folks might be.
In terms of practical advice, here are a few thoughts:
join the large 18+ Drarry discord (invite here). You can find beta readers and cheerleaders there (that's where I found my first when I didn't know anyone). I also like "sprinting" (writing in short, timed bursts, while other people write their own projects) as a way to build a little bit of community. EDIT: new link here
Post on tumblr when you can -- you could put out a call for betas here too. I'd also just suggest interacting when you can, reblogging other people, asking when ask games come up, joining in for open tag games, whenever you see them. Of course, when you're on less frequently some of these will pass you by, and that's okay -- just do them when you can and when they feel like fun.
Don't be afraid to jump into someone's messages or askbox to say hello. Mine is always open, as long as you're okay with a snail's pace of responses. I know that can be intimidating, but people around here are generally very kind and welcoming, and willing to say hello to new people.
Comment on fics and art, if/when you have the spoons. It's a great way to become more visible with active authors -- you could also ask authors or artists or reccers about their published projects to start up a conversation.
Share your writing and your interests! Whether in snippets, or in little anecdotes, or by reblogging things that feel connected to it and saying so in the tags or comments. It's much easier for other folks to engage with *you* if they have something they can ask about!
A couple other little tips I have found useful as I've grown less active in the past months: don't feel like you need to apologize for inactivity -- we all have lives, use the queue function on tumblr to space out your posts during times when you're not as active, ask folks what they're working on & they'll often turn it back to you, at times when you have more time to spare, offer help to others and they'll often offer it back... and so on!
anyway, this is long and rambly, and I'm sure my followers have other ideas to share. please feel free to hop into my DMs to say hello too! welcome back <3

Daily Blog June 21, 2023
Hi! Welcome to my first day of fandom blogging! I'm very excited about doing this and hope you'll join in on the conversation and really hope that you might start one of your own!!! So on that note, lets get going.
What I'm reading:
I'm currently re-reading The Changeling by @annerbhp. It's a canon rewrite of sort, with a big twist. Here's the summary: Ginny is sorted into Slytherin. It takes her seven years to figure out why. It's 182K from Ginny's POV. It does follow canon to a point. I read this about 6 months ago and I still think about it when writing Drarry. I now have to give Ginny a positive break-up with Harry. LOL No dissing her because she's such a badass in this story. While it's listed as Harry/Ginny, it really is mostly a Ginny story for the main story. There's follow on stories after this one that are fab too.
It starts with Year 1 and the house sorting. Ginny is surprisingly sorted into Slytherin. She at first thinks its a joke done by her twin brothers, but then reality sets in. Most of her family is devastated and she feels completely isolated. This is a Ginny you'll recognize from canon and then so much more. If you longed for more Slytherin background and lore than canon gave us, this you will love. And if you think Slytherin is dominated by the males...well this will give you a headcanon that you won't forget.
What I'm writing:
The Azkaban Letters, which I'm so far behind on I want to cry. It's a 2007 WIP I started right before HPDH came out. So it's canon divergent after HBP. I did edit the first 7 to be more in line with canon and post canon. My issue is I have too much in my head and too many ideas to get down on paper...er on the computer. When I stopped writing it in 2007, I had posted the first 7 chapters on The Hex Files. It came over to AO3 during the transfer and has been staring at me in the face since then. I'm now up to 16 chapters, which sounds like a lot, but there's 4 sections to the story and I'm in the middle of section 2. sigh.
Tumblr Posts of Interest:
@xanthippe74 on her blog has reposted her 2020 fic, Follow the Water in honor of summer solstice. If you have not read this fic, you are in for such a treat. Perfect summer fic. Give her post a reblog and fic some love!
@julcheninred posted on her blog yesterday that it was the 5th anniversary of Draw Drarry badly. I so love her block H/D art, and so happy we've had five years of her sharing them with us. Make sure to reblog to share the Drarry fun!
3. HDMpreg2023 has posted the reveals on A03. TWENTY fics in all. I only got to read about 1/3 of them, but whoa there are some serious gems. (If I find the Tumblr post for this, I'll add it.)
4. @lcdrarry has also posted their reveals! My apologies to the fest and authors/artists. I've only read a few this round but plan on diving into the treasure trove of Drarry. This was a new fest for me to watch when I came back to fandom. While I don't watch many movies or watch tv much anymore, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to follow/understand the stories as well as I should. I was wrong. Most I have found I could enjoy without knowing the source.
Tumblr Drarry Fic/Art Resource:
I'm guessing most of you follow @drarryspecificrecsdaily, but in case not, you should definitely follow! They post Drarry completed fics which have been posted on AO3 for the current day. I have found some amazing gems from this resource. Fics I haven't seen discussed or recced anywhere else and authors I haven't been blessed reading before.
Okay, that's it for Day 1! Hope you found something interesting. I'll be switching around the categories on a daily basis. Tomorrow, I'll be adding in Fic Rec from the way past. Feel free to comment. :)

How about 16, 17, and 18? 🤩
Hey, lovely! What great questions, thank you!
16. What is your most underrated fic?
I'm not sure how to define underrated here. For instance, I really love The Glass Hearts but it's not a drarry (or any ship) fic, so it's not surprising that it hasn't been read as much as other stories. It did have some awesome comments, though.
If we go with a simple gut feeling, that undefinable ache about a fic we love that we wish it'd been read more, then for me that's The Boy Who Died. It has had a bunch of readers and some comments, but I'd like to share my love for that fic with more people. It's the one fic that whenever it appears in my kudos email, I always smile.
17. What fic are you most proud of?
Although I did consider mentioning dirtynumbangelboy, I'll have to go with 9 ½ Days. It's my longest fic, for one; it's a fic I was very close to abandoning but I managed to finish, which gives me a sense of relief and even triumph when I think about it; and it's one where I poured my thoughts and feelings about Draco in his canon years.
Also, in most of my fics I try to add something that we might not see a lot in fandom (like the treatment of the Shrieking Shack in Through the Looking Glass and What Draco Found There or Draco as an Incubus in Hush, darling etc). In this case, I wrote about magical Romani, which isn't something I'd seen before in HP, and some scary faeries. Finally, I'm quite pleased with the prose, esp in some passages.
18. What is a line/scene you’re really proud of? Give us the DVD commentary for that scene.
I've got a few in mind but let's go with the first kiss scene in 9 ½ Days. This is in Chapter 4. I won't copy the whole thing out, just parts. Under the cut:
Harry and Draco have spent a few days on the run now. They're starting to trust each and are getting closer emotionally but there's been no overt attraction between them. A great way to get them to think about sex (with each other) is to give them a reason to discuss sex in general, and Draco is the one who brings it up here.
‘You know what I‘m sorry about in this whole affair?’ Draco said, affecting nonchalance. ‘That I’ll die a fucking virgin.’
Harry’s mouth went dry. He hummed something indistinct.
Draco whispered, ‘Is sex as good as people say, Harry?’
‘How should I know?’ Harry asked, his hands sweating.
They talk about their experiences briefly. A paragraph follows that I quite like:
They hadn’t taken their eyes from the ceiling, as if this conversation didn’t involve them. Perhaps it was easier to talk about sex to the ceiling. Harry attempted to deal with this news as calmly as he could, even though his heart — and cock — swelled with the thrill of possibility. He’d had fantasies about Cedric and Bill Weasley in the past, but seeing as they were both straight, Harry’s fantasies had felt harmless; an idle exercise, a private unreality he liked to spend some time in. But now Harry had fantasized about someone who lay beside him and confessed to liking boys, too. Someone who Harry could reach out and touch, and who might — the idea made Harry’s blood simmer — welcome the touch.
Harry really should turn his back and go to sleep. Draco shifted and Harry caught Draco’s body heat very close to him, and his scent.
‘I’ve never kissed a boy,’ Harry told the ceiling.
I like the image of them side by side, looking at the ceiling, because this conversation is momentous for both of them but it's a bit too revealing and honest, and so it's easier to look somewhere else. To pretend that what you're saying doesn't matter much, exactly because it does matter. A lot.
Draco was the one who brought up sex earlier and then Harry is the one who comments that he's never kissed a boy. He gives Draco an opening. The subtext here is 'I want to kiss you but I can't bring myself to say it.'
I'm really pleased with the imagery in these two sentences:
Silence followed, but a pregnant silence, full of fluttering butterflies and words trapped in throats. A silence that held its breath, waiting to see where the conversation might lead.
Draco takes the opening and suggests what we all want to see. I have a soft spot for kissing or sex scenes where the characters give in to their attraction while holding back emotionally. The fuck buddies scenarios; the "this is a test kiss" like here, and so on. In those cases, although the scene is about relieving sexual tension, it still retains some tension and that is more interesting to me.
Draco gazed at him. He chewed his bottom lip for a moment, drawing Harry’s eyes there. ‘I know you hate me,’ Draco said, his voice low, ‘but seeing as we’ll probably die soon, you could… test it. If you want. With — with me. Just so you’ll know.’
‘I don’t hate you,’ Harry said with conviction. There were worse monsters in the world than Draco Malfoy.
Draco kept staring, wordlessly asking for a reply.
‘Sure,’ Harry said, aiming at casual and failing. ‘Just so I’ll know.’
Both stalled, awkward now that kissing was on the table. Harry didn’t know if he should make the first move or whether Draco would. Tense like a diver about to jump off a cliff, Harry shuffled and brought his face closer to Draco’s, his heart in his throat.
Draco cleared his voice. ‘Let me…’ He rose to his elbow. Propped over Harry, Draco gazed at him with enigmatic eyes, cupped his cheek and kissed him.
Draco here echoes the phrase "let me" which Harry said earlier in the chapter when cleaning Draco's wounds. The rest is the description of the kiss, which is very soft and sweet, if I say so myself. I don't know what people think but I'm happy with the way their first kiss has come about in this fic.

Drarry? Severitus? Random tropes and canon?
Severitus- The Dursley are scared that harry might lose it again after what he did with Marge and no amount of convincing from Dumbledore is going to change their minds. So he gets Snape to take him in. He may or may not had no choice.
Drarry- Draco will get a redemption arc because he is still a git. The romance part wont be until the end of 4th year or 5th year. They will be friends first.
WolfStarPrince- I like this ship. Planning on making it a gradual thing because I refuse to Obliviate the hatred. Sirius lets Snape live in the Grimmauld Place because he's taking care of Harry. Remus is helping Sirius get better and is the referee. (Ideas are welcome)
Werewolf! Harry- Harry gets bit by Remus during the full moon, he's in denial. I always thought it was weird no one got hurt when Remus forgot his potion so I changed it so now Remus will never think to forget his potion not just because harry as to take some too but because he is consumed with guilt about what he did to him.
Veela! Draco- You can not tell me the Malfoys didn't have Veela in them. Abraxas Malfoy is half in my fic but married a full Veela. Most Malfoy are half or less, They don't like people to know because even though Veelas are valued and such they are still creatures and that ruins their Pure Blood image.
Werewolf! Draco- Voldys fault. Lucius was suspected a traitor (he wasn't but is now because really) so Voldemort got Greyback to bite Draco where the dark mark was going to be. This happens before 5th year starts and only happens because Lucius didn't realize Voldemort was lying. (Said he just wanted to see who his new followers would be) Now the Malfoys can hold onto their views because Lucius is a lot of thing but he isn't going to get rid of his son(I think)
Voldemort finds out Harry is a Horcrux- I want to make him go more insane. He still hates and want to kill Harry but now he's trying to find a way to do that without hurting his soul. Since no one has ever made a human Horcrux because he can't look for information on subject but he can test on himself. Cue nightmares and visions. And some very messed up Voldemort giving up and just trying to kill Harry soul and all.
Harry has trauma- I wanted harry to realize what the Dursley did was bad (Not fanon things like beatings and SA but the starvation and locking up, the isolation) that he's safe now even if he can't fully trust the adult around him. He steals food and hoards it, He'll hide in corners and small spaces but panic in other. Mostly I'm writing how I reacted when I left a my relatives place because I was treated very similar to how Harry was.
Now important things I will not add so when I post the fic you know its not there-
Bashing- I don't like some the stuff Dumbledore did but if I'm going to hate him its for stuff he did and the Weasley are family and I love them.
Lordships- I think its kind of pointless.
Odd wizard language not in the books- I cringe when I read them I will not write it. Ex. So mote it be, On my magic, etc, etc.
Soft! Snape- God help those who think Snape is a kind gentle soul, He will be a strict parental figure who shows care in a questionable fashion, not a Molly Weasley 2.0

I just have to let you know that I am living for your newfound(?) love of hockey. I came for the Larry, stayed for the Drarry, am endeared by the 911, and I'd love to know how you found the hockey (if you're willing to share) 🌠
OMG anon, can I just tell you how HAPPY this made me? I do worry about like, the way I bounce all over the place (and then I remind myself people are very welcome to block tags or words or me or whatever!). You have to understand, I am, at heart, a super geeky math/stats/music (orchestra!)/theater nerd! I am active but I never played a team sport and other than hockey I'm not... that into team sports (which is literally anathema to the people where I live, the Local Sports Teams here are very good and VERY revered).
I actually grew up on college hockey - I grew up in a college town (my dad was a professor) so I used to go to games a lot (high school as well), and for some reason, I've just always loved it. I used to go to games all the time in college too. Then, I don't know... I just kind of drifted away from it - graduated, got a job, moved a bunch, went to graduate school etc etc. Life just took over.
I obviously found fandom years ago and I also obviously have been reading (and writing haha) fic for many years, so I have sort of a way I dive into a new fandom. A fic came across my email (an author I subscribe to on AO3 so someone I love as a writer) and I was like. HUH. Maybe I'll check this out. I've read a few hockey rpfs before but somehow this time it was different. I started reading ALL OF IT.
And then I started diving into the Tumblr fandom, followed some blogs, and got very caught up in how this fandom tags things - it's hilarious. And I started following games. Then watching them. Then I got ESPN+. My family is astonished. Who am I?? Having fun, for sure. But this is what my brain does - it gets absolutely fucking OBSESSED. I have not, I assure you, abandoned any of my former loves. I have a big heart, there's room for all! (Also I just had an idea for a little Drarry soulmates fic haha maybe I'll write that today.)
For me, there's actually a pretty strong divide in my head between the real world of actual people playing actual hockey and then the transformative works side of things, and both are kind of at play here, which is fun too!
Anyway, I'm sure this was FAR more information than you wanted! SO yeah, we're on hockey obsession for the moment. I'm working on some data skills as I job hunt (WHICH IS THE WORST OMG) and I'm building a database of the season's fights to help me learn SQL.

Hey Liv, I sent you a fanniversary message yesterday, but I was talking to my partner about fanfic and fandom and I realized something else that you've had a huge impact on. Before I found your blog, I felt so guilty whenever I'd read certain "problematic" pairings and tropes. I bought into the idea that some YA authors were "creepy" for writing about teenagers in certain ways.
Your posts and reblogs about SALS and similar really allowed me to find acceptance for myself and also gain a way better understanding of fiction and fantasies. I feel like I can not only freely enjoy these kinds of works but I can now intellectually talk to others about it!
The internet is just such a cesspool of hate and judgement, but our little section of the Drarry fandom is just so wonderful for its diversity and acceptance. Thank you for your part in that.
PS. I definitely had some squicks that I never imagined touching before seeing your recs. Lemme tell ya, I've definitely gotten over most of those now 🙃🙃
Part 1:
Tumblr media
Oh wow, this is truly one of the most inspiring and rewarding things I’ve heard ever since I created the blog! I don’t have words to express how emotional I got reading this, and realizing I might have had a small impact on something that speaks to me on such a profound level. Making people feel safe and welcome in their interests and kinks has always been my top one priority here. This blog is very much a 18+ space and I did my best to include in my recs a range of ships, ratings, kinks and tropes. I remember I had no expectations of getting any kind of buzz or overall support once people started noticing where I stood, or when they figured out I was a starker shipper lol 😂
As someone who consumes a lot of smut, and particularly the so-called “problematique” stuff - hello age gap my beloved! - practicing SALS and Kinktomato has never been a doubt, it’s more like a life philosophy at this point. It’s the one principle I knew I wanted to follow as soon as I decided to run a blog. And I’m so incredibly pleased to hear that my blog helped you work through all of that in a safe way, but I just can’t forget to mention the amazing work many talented authors - some of them quite big and popular in the Drarry fandom! - did and still do providing brilliant and varied kinky and rare pair content. I’m talking about lqt, shiftylinguini, bixgirl, ruinsplume, Writcraft and so many others. They certainly paved the way for new authors who at times felt unseen, insecure or afraid of backlash. So their courage fuels mine, and their passion for art and creativity inspires me to keep sharing appreciation for these works. Thanks again for sending such a special message and for staying around since the blog’s early days, I appreciate that so much! Honestly, this made my night 💜

It isn't all bad, facing no consequences for his actions can be fun for a bit.

Summary: Harry’s having it all, now that the unpleasantries of being treated like a loose cannon is gone: the war is well over, and Voldemort is long dead. He’s made the choice to stay in B, an unplottable magical town in Northern Italy, whose protection wards had kept him in one piece at the height of the second wizarding war, and whose seclusion provides him with the quiet, normal life that he now lives. Harry adores the grassy hills that enclose B like the warm arm of a mother; Likes playing the grand piano from dawn to dusk; Cherishes his current life, on the whole. He gets himself Mocaccino every morning and sometimes has dinner with the Weasleys at their cottage nearby. With the majority of his friends and family falling in love with B and gradually settling down as well, Harry feels like this is the last place he would ever want to leave. To say that the arrival of a certain wizard—a razor-sharp, infuriating blond—makes anything remotely different for Harry would be absurd, of course.

Prompt: "The Untamed", 2019, TV-Series Author: @outstandingmoralfiber​ Word Count: 83,399 words Rating: Explicit Warnings: None
Summary: Three notes, and yet they made all the difference. Draco could feel it, the slight magic and wavering notes, washing over him in a brief but calming wave that lit his soul and it was then that he knew that he was going to learn how to play this guqin no matter what. Little did he know that, like dominos, this one simple decision would diverge him onto a path he would've never imagined. - Wizarding world in the Untamed setting, (but you don't need to know anything about the Untamed). Drarry AU starting from Goblet of Fire. Rated E for the smut scene in Chapters 13 & 14, but is otherwise rated T.

Welcome!
I've got some new people showing up, and my master list got out of control, so here's a more basic pinned post for ya.
A bit about me:
I'm GB, a nonbinary geriatric millennial who predominately writes Drarry and Doctor Who fic but reads more broadly and can’t guarantee where my future hyperfixations will land me.
You can find me on AO3 as GallifreyisBurning or by searching “#my writing” on here.
90% of what I produce is fluff.
I also occasionally throw some analysis or a weird headcanon out into the world just to see what happens.
I feel like it goes without saying that this blog is anti-JKR specifically and anti-TERF in general? But here's your disclaimer, just in case.
Prompts are always open but I don't guarantee follow-through, because the muse is a fickle thing.
Also feel free to just message me about whatever!

an introductory rec list (that nobody asked for) for some of my favorite (platonic and/or romantic) pairings: severitus [2/10]
First fic I read for the pairing: Of Potions and Phobias by tt22123 [1k,G] Severitus story with nightmares [i stumbled on this fic on accident and it was short and sweet (and a little bittersweet at the end).]
Fic that really sold me on the pairing: Leo Inter Serpentes (Series) by Aeternum [746k,E,6 works] (WIP) Just one conversation between two eleven year old boys goes slightly differently, and the world changes. Just how much will be different with Harry being sorted into Slytherin, and how much will stay the same? [i will never not recommend this series: it’s amazing, it’s well-written, it’s true to all the characters and relationships and it feels more canon than canon (of course, it’s also significantly more gay than canon but i said what i said).]
Absolute favorite fic(s) for the pairing: Nobody Cared by etherian [360k,G] Harry is 11 years old and looking forward to attending Hogwarts. Why, then, does he miss the Welcoming Feast? (warnings for: child abuse, bullying, depictions of violence) [this fic is really well done (but has a lot of angst and definitely mind the warnings above (although the author doesn’t include warnings on the fic)).] Family Means More Than Blood by WingsOfADream [422k,M] A prophecy made in 1975 drastically changes the life of the boy who should have been known as Harry Potter. [this is yet another fic with a really well-written and fascinating plot with excellent characterizations and plot lines. i definitely would recommend it to someone with a lot of time on their hands.]
Most recent fic I’ve read for the pairing: Blackberry Tart by starknjarvis [33k,G] One year after Severus Snape offered to become Harry's legal guardian, Sirius Black shows up at Hogwarts. [the fic is a part of a well-written and pragmatic series and this fic also includes the development of a remus & severus and a sirius & severus friendship so that harry can have a larger and supportive family and i’m living for it (i believe the exact tag that the author used was “coparenting with your childhood nemesis” and i am living for it).]
Favorite AU(s) I’ve read for the pairing: Alternate Sorting AU (Slytherin!Harry): Malfoy Flavor by Vorabiza [199k,E] Harry’s ready to banish the Golden Boy image and take charge of his life. Unfortunately for him, or fortunately, there are surprises in store for him. [Slytherin!Harry but it’s not an entire canon rewrite like most of the alternate sorting fics i love so much, so that’s fun. also drarry and just the right amount of painful but realistic angst. oh and it has a delightfully fluffy little sequel.]
Favorite Series for the pairing: Forgiveness & Redemption by waitingondaisies [130k,T,2 works] Severus Snape was discovered as a spy mere days before the start of the school year. Thankfully, Albus had been working on a vague contingency plan for this possibility. It had been inspired by the question, “What would it take for Severus Snape to see that he was wrong about Harry Potter?” The answer? Force Severus to go undercover as Alfonse “Eli” Hopkirk, a sixth year Gryffindor. (that’s technically the summary for the first fic but i think it serves well enough in lieu of a series summary, which the author did not provide. also warnings for child abuse.) [this series is such an interesting concept and it feels very realistic in how it played out and i’m honestly here for it.] You're a Parent, Severus by acmparker [210k,G,6 works] (WIP) When Lily got home from her first year at Hogwarts, she found a new distance between herself and Petunia. As a result Severus and Lily became even closer to each other over that summer. The next year Lily found a book in the Hogwarts Library that describe an ancient ritual for creating a blood bond that would make two unrelated people kin. She convinces Severus to undergo the ritual with her and they become brother and sister. This means that when Lily dies there is another whose blood relationship with her is recognized by the blood ward Dumbledore places on Harry. To Severus Snape's chagrin he finds himself the last line of defense between Harry and the forces of the Dark Lord. (again, no series summary but i think this works well enough.) [i love a good remus and severus friendship plus severitus so this series really works for me. and it’s a canon rewrite (love those).] Bruised Words by starknjarvis [49k,G,2 works] (WIP) After Harry blows up Aunt Marge, Dumbledore decides it's not safe for Harry to spend the rest of the summer at the Leaky Cauldron, and instead sends him to stay at Spinner’s End with Professor Snape. It's tense, awkward, and teeming with misunderstandings...but it might be the best thing that's happened to either of them. They're both been without a family for a very long time. (apparently all my favorite series aside from Leo Inter Serpentes, which i’ve already listed above, don’t have series descriptions, but the first work’s description seems to work well enough. also warnings for child abuse.) [this is the series that blackberry tart belongs to and may i just say: it’s excellent and well-written and pragmatic and i would recommend it.]
Longest fic I’ve read for the pairing: A Year Like None Other by aspeninthesunlight [789k,T] A letter from home? A letter from family? Well, Harry Potter knows he has neither, but all the same, it starts with a letter from Surrey. Whatever the Durleys have to say, it can't be anything good, so Harry's determined to ignore it. But then, his evil schoolmate rival spots the letter and his slimy excuse for a teacher intercepts it and forces him to read it. And that sends Harry down a path he'd never have walked on his own. It will be a year of big changes, a year of great pain, and a year of confronting worst fears. It will be a year of surprising discoveries, of finding true strength, of finding out that first impressions of a person's true colours do not always ring true. It will be a year of paradigm shifts. And from the most unexpected sources, Harry will have a chance to have that which he has never known: a home ... and a family. A sixth year fic, this story follows Order of the Phoenix and disregards any canon events that occur after Book 5. (warnings for: graphic depictions of violence, self-harm, severe medical trauma) [the fic has some really dark parts but the plot is so intricate and fascinating and the relationships and dynamics are excellently written and the characterizations are spot on and i would definitely recommend it to anyone with a lot of time on their hands.]
Fic(s) with some of my favorite tropes: Sickfic + Hurt/Comfort: When He Called Me Dad by MarauderChaos [31k,Not Rated] It was only however as the end of his second year did Severus collect enough evidence and enough of his own courage to step in. The boy looked as though the world was ending when Severus brought him to his private quarters to see Madam Bones, and for a moment Severus felt the world was ending when someone recommended him as guardian. But that was how it ended, with Harry Potter becoming the ward of the Potions Master. It was kept a secret from the press and the students of Hogwarts – even his own Godson didn’t know, mainly because Lucius was bound to hear of it if he did and Severus didn’t want to risk their lives. They had their ups and downs, screaming and shouting, hexes and slamming doors, crying and hugging, laughing and actually having fun. But there was one moment that Severus would always remember, with its own fair share of good and bad, was the time he called him Dad. [i’m a sucker for hurt/comfort and accidental revelation of feelings, which in this case is the strength of harry’s platonic feelings, and this fic has all that so… yeehaw.] Accidental Bonding (but make it platonic): Love is... (series) by atiaahmed [133k,G,4 works] (WIP) This series revolves around how Snape starts to care about Harry because of a charm put on him by Ron and Hermione. The first story "Love is a charm" explores how their relationship changes because of the charm and what happens when it expires at the end of the year The second story explores how their relationship develops after the events of "Love is a charm". In "Love is a haven" other paternal figures, namely Lupin and Black will threaten Severus position with Harry. [i kind of like the platonic severitus take on one of my favorite hp tropes tbh and i like the way that their relationship develops and the realistic trust issues and such.]

Antidote
Tumblr media
Written for @gameofdrarry Exploding Snap 2021. My card was:
Write a Drarry fic of 987-1625 words following this prompt: Immediately after the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco and Harry are advised to go to therapy or to see a Healer to help them develop appropriate coping strategies. How do they feel when they run into each other unexpectedly?
Title: Antidote
Author: isamijoo
Rating: T
Word Count: 1612
Tags: Hogwarts Eighth Year, Talks about Healers and Therapy, Invisibility Cloak, Astronomy Tower
A/N: I did have some trouble with this. I'm not comfortable writing about therapies so you can see how I avoided that and instead focused more on the boys, namely Draco. I purposely kept it short because of the word limit. I included bits of what I wanted to include, so the fic ends up feeling like random scenes thrown together, which doesn't sound really appealing. But I feel satisfied with how it turned out. Thank you to @sky-is-torn for the beta!
READ ON AO3
~~~
After the Battle of Hogwarts, the administration wanted to ensure the returning students would continue their education feeling secure and safe in all aspects. Thus, at the beginning of term, staff noticed a new door next to the Infirmary. The door, the Headmistress explained during the welcoming feast, led to the offices of two Mind Healers, Healer Park and Healer Algot.
Every student was required to meet either one of the Healers at least once. The first session was marked on each student’s schedule; skipping the session would cost house points and incur detentions.
Draco Malfoy was forced to return to Hogwarts as part of his sentencing. He joined the other Eighth Years, though he kept mostly to himself. Draco rarely sat in the Eighth Year Common Room because it was often taken up by Gryffindors, who made up a majority of their year.
Harry Potter was always around, but Draco never knew what the Saviour was up to.
Potter had cut his hair short, though still untamed and unruly. He was clean-shaven and sported a new pair of round-rimmed spectacles. He had also grown since sixth year. Perhaps now that the Dark Lord was dead, he finally had time to eat properly.
Sometimes their eyes would meet during classes or meals — silver with green.  Potter would stare at him, unblinking. Draco was always the first one to look away.
~~~
When it was time for Draco to visit the Healers, he went without putting up a fuss.
He halted at the door when he saw Potter in the waiting room. Potter was seated in one of the two armchairs, slouched and flipping through a magazine. He hadn’t noticed Draco yet.
Draco walked to the registration desk, which was manned by a thin woman with greying hair. There were two white doors beside her, each labelled with the name of a Healer.
After registering, Draco was instructed to take a seat. The only available one was beside Potter, who now had his gaze fixated on Draco, magazine forgotten.
“Malfoy, how are you?” Potter smiled.
Draco lowered himself onto the armchair, back straight and hands folded in his lap. “I’m fine, thank you,” he said stiltedly.
“It’s good to see you here,” Potter said. “What are the odds of the two of us having a session at the same time? Maybe they arranged the timetable in alphabetical order."
Draco tilted his head and regarded Potter curiously, which made the other wizard chuckle nervously.
“You know, like the Sorting. I went directly after you.”
“The Sorting in first year? You remember that?”
Potter shrugged, mumbling, “I remember a lot of things about you.”
“Look, Potter,” Draco muttered wearily, cheeks warm. “Why are you talking to me?”
Potter rubbed the back of his neck. “We’re not children anymore, Malfoy. The war is over.”
Before he could retort, Draco was called to meet Healer Park while Potter went into Healer Algot’s office. Healer Park was a middle-aged gentleman with kind brown eyes. Draco wasn’t too forthcoming, so the Healer just asked him harmless ice-breaking questions. After an hour, the Healer gave him another appointment slip for the following week.
Potter got the same slip too.
Before they exited the waiting room, Potter suggested they grab some snacks from the kitchens. Draco grudgingly agreed; he was feeling bleak and could use some sweets to lift his mood.
As Potter led the way, Draco observed Potter’s gait. If Potter stood straight, he would be almost as tall as Draco. But now he walked with his shoulders hunched, as though the act of saving the wizarding world had also thrust its problems onto his teenage shoulders.
Draco wondered how much Potter knew about legends of the Greek Titans, of Atlas and the globe on his back. If Draco offered to tell the story, would Potter place his head on Draco’s lap and listen attentively, like Draco had done with his mother when he was a child?
In the kitchen, they sat together on a wooden bench, surrounded by treats and desserts. Potter talked openly and happily, as if enjoying Draco’s company. He remained this way — treating Draco in a friendly manner — until they reached Draco’s private dorm. He was the only Slytherin who had returned for Eighth Year so he had a room to himself.
“I had a great time, Malfoy.” Potter beamed. “I’ll see you around.”
Draco said nothing as he watched Potter walk away.
~~~
The following week, they met in the Healers’ waiting room again. Potter talked while Draco listened, basking in his attention and drinking in Potter’s bright green eyes and straight white teeth.
When Draco sat in front of Healer Park, he opened his mouth and, as though channelling Potter’s energy, shared his deepest regrets with a stranger with kind eyes.
~~~
The Healer had advised Draco to seek forgiveness.
Draco apologised to Potter at the Astronomy Tower, overlooking the school grounds while the cool breeze chilled him to the bones. Once the words were out, he couldn’t stop. His mind yanked at each of his mistakes, uprooting all his flaws from his first year, from the first time he spoke to Potter, from the moment he was born until he felt raw and sick.
He hadn’t noticed that while he spoke, Potter had gently guided him inside and sat them both on the steps. Potter was silent as tears streaked down Draco’s face.
When speech finally failed him, Draco wiped his face with a sleeve. Potter slid closer and engulfed Draco’s thin body in a hug.
Potter apologised for sixth year, for the scars on Draco’s chest, for failing to help when he could’ve.
Their first kiss, clumsy and laced with longing, tasted like rainwater.
~~~
Draco’s obsession with Potter was insatiable.
Potter was like an addictive potion. If you’d never had it, you could live and die happily, not knowing what you had missed. But once you get a taste, you’d want more and more and yet, it’d never be enough.
Draco couldn't count the number of times they dragged the other inside alcoves or empty classes for a snog. Potter’s lips were warm, delicious, sometimes even sweet. He kissed with a passion Draco envied, with his whole body leaning in and his hands all over Draco like a starving man.
Being the centre of Potter’s attention was like standing on the surface of the sun. Draco’s skin burned at every contact with Potter’s hard body, but with the heat came pleasure.
Draco was infatuated.
And maybe, just maybe, it was the same for Potter.
~~~
The first time Potter pulled off his Invisibility Cloak in front of Draco, the blond had yelped in surprise and accidentally banged his head against the headboard.
Potter climbed into Draco’s bed, clad in only a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. “Are you afraid of people finding out about us?” he asked, his warm body pressed to Draco’s side.
Draco shrugged. His father was in Azkaban, his mother was sentenced to home arrest for 15 years, his family name tainted, his family fortune would deplete quickly if he didn’t take over the family business once he graduated.
Draco didn’t want to think about the outside world. It was too scary.
But having this with Potter wasn't any less terrifying. Nobody would be pleased to learn that The Saviour was sharing a bed with a Death Eater. Any animosity would certainly be directed at Draco. He was a criminal, after all.
Potter had nothing to lose, while Draco would lose everything.
Suddenly his vision blurred and he found himself looking through a layer of translucent fabric. Potter had spread the Invisibility Cloak over them.
“There.” Potter sounded smug. “No one can see us now.”
Draco’s body shuddered with laughter as Potter rolled on top of him. The cloak cascaded down Potter’s head and Draco’s fingers brushed its velvety texture while they kissed under its cover.
Was taking pleasure in The Chosen One’s embrace a crime?
~~~
“You shouldn't have saved me,” Draco murmured one night, mouth pressed against Potter’s jugular as they both lay breathless, sweaty and sated. “You should have left me in the fire.”
Potter’s arms tightened around Draco's bare body, pulling him until his long pink scars kissed Potter's brown skin.
“I left you once,” Potter whispered, lips brushing Draco’s temple. “Never again.”
~~~
“Do your friends know about us?” Draco asked when Potter took his hand on their way to the Healers’ office.
“Er, yes,” Potter admitted sheepishly. “I’m bad at keeping this a secret. Are you upset?”
Draco glanced at their clasped hands pensively. “I’m not sure. I’m not sure how I feel about this. About us.”
“Maybe we should talk with the Healers,” Potter suggested when they reached the waiting room still holding hands. “Get their advice.”
“You want to ask them for relationship advice?” Draco said incredulously.
“Why not?” Potter grinned. “Although, I should tell you before we go in…" He stepped closer, and Draco couldn’t avoid gazing into his emerald eyes. “I really like you, Draco. I think I’m in love with you.”
Rasps escaped Draco’s throat as he struggled to respond.
Potter didn’t wait for any reply. He just smiled and kissed Draco's knuckles before entering his Healer's office.
Draco stood frozen for a good five minutes before he finally went into the other office and took his usual seat on the sofa opposite Healer Park.
"How are you today, Draco?" the Healer asked gently.
"I think…" Draco closed his eyes, picturing Potter's joyful smiles and hearing his own heartbeats loud in his ears. "I think I'm in trouble."
Healer Park appeared concerned. "How so?"
Sighing, Draco leaned back. "I'm falling… for Harry Potter."

Happy Drarry prompt! Harry and Draco are happily married to each other, no one dies. No one gets sick or injured either. Same if they have pets. No one's cheating, physically nor emotionally. It's also neither a dream nor hallucination, nor an AU they've stumbled into nor witnessing from a 3rd person perspective. I dare you to try making this angsty, as I'm pretty sure I've covered all the bases. Oh wait! They're only talking about wonderful and nice things. Now I'm sure it's impossible lol.
Happily Ever After
“We finally did it!” Harry said with a laugh as Draco struggled to open the door to their new flat. “We’re finally married!”
Draco huffed, but with a bright smile on his face as he carried Harry over the threshold. “Yes, we did. And you’re immediately going on a diet, Mr. Malfoy.”
“Hey!”
“You weigh a ton! How did I get roped into being the one that carries you, you’re the quidditch player!”
“Oh excuse me, Professor Malfoy, but you insisted!”
They both glared at each other, but with none of the coldness of their youth. There was nothing but warmth and affection in their eyes.
“Oi!” Harry suddenly exclaimed as Draco made it over to the couch and unceremoniously dropped him on it.
Draco just laughed and dodged one of the cushions as Harry pelted it at him.
“Come on, Harry. Help me get dinner ready.”
Harry groaned and feigned melting off of the couch, “Nooooo, you’re such a task master in the kitchen.”
“Food should be prepared with the same care and precision as a potion.”
“Yea, and I was always pants at potions.”
“That’s cause you didn’t have me helping. Up you get.” Draco reached down and pulled Harry up to his feet
“Yes, Professor,” Harry grumbled good-naturedly, letting Draco pull him to his feet and then dutifully following him into the kitchen.
————————-
Weeks later, Harry walked into the kitchen to find Draco sitting at the table, sipping on his tea and reading the Daily Prophet. A steaming mug of coffee awaited Harry in his usual spot.
“Welcome to the land of the living,” Draco chuckled, his eyes not leaving the paper.
Harry groaned and sat down, rubbing his sleep fogged eyes and taking the first blessed sip of liquid life, “You would be tired to if you spent all of yesterday doing bludger drills with some of the best beaters in the league.”
“You may do physically taxing, but I spend my days doing mentally taxing.” Draco set his paper down and rubbed his forehead, “With all those numbskulls in my classroom, I can see why Snape was so grumpy.”
Harry glanced down at headline on the paper Draco had been reading.
EX-DEATH EATERS. WHERE ARE THEY? WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
“Of course we all know about the infamous Draco Malfoy, and how he managed to steal away the famous Harry Potter (Malfoy). How did he do it? Our reporters now look into some evidence of dark magi—“
“Why do you even read that rag?” Harry asked in disgust, “It’s utter rubbish.”
“I like to keep informed.” Draco said simply, before standing. “I’ll get breakfast ready.”
“I can do it!” Harry protested.
Draco pointed a spatula that he had just pulled out in Harry’s direction, “After you tried to burn the kitchen down last time? You are no longer allowed in my kitchen.”
Harry just laughed and went back to his coffee.
After breakfast, Draco spelled the dishes into the sink to clean themselves and stood again, “I need to go prepare more for this year’s lessons. Have a good day training.” Draco gave a smile, leaning down to give his husband a kiss before sweeping out of the room and into his study.
“You too.” Harry said, draining his coffee and then heading out for another day of dodging bludgers.
—————————
Months later, Draco came in through the floo, home from Hogwarts for the Christmas Holidays. He was immediately pounced on and showered with kisses by a laughing Harry.
“I missed you!” Harry exclaimed.
Draco gave a small smile, “Yea, me too.”
Harry tilted his head, “What’s wrong?”
“Parents.” Draco shrugged, “They can be a nightmare.”
“Well, I know what will cheer you up!” Harry exclaimed, gesturing at a half put together Christmas tree and various ornaments littering the living room.
Draco arched a brow, “You call making a disaster out of my living room something that would cheer me up?”
Harry laughed and pushed Draco toward the mess, “No! Helping me put up the Christmas tree!”
Draco just smiled, sitting on the floor and starting to sort through the piles of way-too many ornaments “There’s no way we’re getting these on the tree.”
“Watch me!”
—————————
Harry woke up the day after Christmas and glanced over at Draco, still in bed. He frowned slightly, not used to being the first one awake. Brushing it off as Draco being tired from an all Weasley Christmas Dinner, Harry got up and went into the kitchen. He made himself a cup of coffee and then made Draco’s tea as he sipped on his coffee.
He had finished his coffee before Draco emerged from their bedroom, tossing the Daily Prophet into the bin as he came in.
“Welcome to the land of the living.” Harry teased.
Draco just waved Harry off and sat down to drink his tea.
“Want to make breakfast?” Harry tried.
“You can make it.” Draco said passively into his tea.
Harry nodded and got up to make breakfast.
—————————
“Draco?” It was the summer holidays now and Harry glanced into their bedroom, holding a hot cup of tea. Draco didn’t respond, only rolled over and drew the blankets tighter over himself.
“I’ll just leave this here for you.” Harry said with a smile, leaving the tea on the bedside table, “And I’ll make you breakfast.”
Again, Draco didn’t respond.
Harry shut the door and sighed. They had spent the whole year just fine... what had happened?
Harry walked into Draco’s study, a room he rarely visited. When he walked in he found stacks of the Daily Prophet. The paper Draco had stopped reading in front of him, and that Harry had never bothered to read. Going through the papers he found a years worth of headlines claiming deceit, dark magic, and other equally dark and ridiculous ways that Draco had managed to marry him. Articles about Draco’s family and his and their involvement in the war. Harry threw the papers to the floor and looked around the room some more. In Draco’s desk Harry found hundreds of letters from parents disgusted that a former death-eater teaching their kids, many mentioning the articles from the daily prophet. He found more from scorned people who felt that he had been stolen away from the wizarding world and telling Draco how much of an awful person they thought he was.
Harry crumpled the letters in his hands.
Why hadn’t Draco told him? Every time they talked by floo-call, Draco only ever told him about the good things, the happy things. He suffered alone. Hid his pain so as not to worry Harry.
Harry went back into the bedroom and sat next to Draco on the bed, noticing that his tea hadn’t been touched.
“Draco? You remember when we first moved here? You insisted on carrying me into the flat, then complained about my weight.” Harry gave a small laugh at the memory. “Then you forced me to cook with you. You’re so much better than me in the kitchen.”
Harry glanced down at Draco, he hadn’t moved, just continued to stare at nothing.
“How about when you would tease me about waking up late, but you always had my coffee ready for me.”
Harry glanced over at Draco’s untouched tea. “Of course you’re much better at tea and coffee than I am.”
Harry sat in silence, Draco only shifting to stare absently up at the ceiling. Harry shifted to lay next to Draco, wrapping an arm around him. “And on Christmas, when you told me I couldn’t get all those ornaments on the tree? I sure showed you.” Harry forced a laugh, watching Draco’s unchanging face, “You hated it and redecorated the whole thing while lecturing me that you can’t just ‘cram a whole bunch of stuff together and call it decorating.’ That was so much fun.”
Draco just looked at him, but stayed silent, his defense mechanism, the Malfoy Mask firmly affixed upon his face.
“I need to get to work.” Harry said, fixing a smile on his face. He leaned in and gave Draco a soft kiss before exiting the room.
As he shut the door, Harry all but collapsed against it, sinking to the floor as he felt tears sliding down his cheeks. When had this happened? How had he not noticed the bits of Draco’s soul breaking apart as he sank into depression, leaving him but a shell of himself. Every time Harry had asked, Draco had brushed it off and changed the subject to a happy one, or Harry himself had tried to make Draco happy by only talking about happy things. But Draco had been suffering by himself and sinking this whole time.
How could he not have noticed?
Why was he so oblivious?
And how would he get his happily ever after back...

can you do 7 and 14 for drarry from the winter prompts? also, I really liked all your autumn writings
Winter/Holiday Prompt #7: Visiting family that doesn’t know they’re dating.
Pairing: Drarry
Background: This is a world that didn’t have Voldemort so Lily and James are alive. It’s Harry’s sixth year and he’s been sorted into Slytherin. Draco and him have been friends since the beginning since Harry was given a hard time being a Potter in the Slytherin house. Please enjoy the chaos that will ensue ❤️
You can find prompt #14 for Drarry here. Thank you for your submission!
“Welcome home boys,” Lily’s bright smile sent warmth through everyone who had seen it. “Your father is in the sitting room with both Sirius and Remus.” Harry nodded as he tried to ignore the butterflies in his stomach. ‘Your being stupid,’ He thought to himself furiously. ‘It’s just Draco visiting for Christmas. Same as it is every year.’
But it wasn’t the same. Last year, Draco wasn’t his boyfriend. Harry’s eyes drifted to the blonde haired teen who was making his way towards the stairs with his luggage floating behind him. They started this tradition their first year, Draco would come for the first half of the holidays, then they would spend Christmas with their respective families and the rest of the time was spent at Draco’s home together.
Things, at first, were tense. But that was natural considering their fathers were enemies...or something. Harry didn’t really understand the feud, but decided not to get involved. He wasn’t a Slytherin for making stupid choices after all. Their mothers got along extremely well, which was a bit surprising considering Lily was a muggleborn and Narcissa was a pureblood. But it had been a pleasant surprise.
“Haz? You coming?” Draco’s voice snapped him out of his thoughts, he nodded as he grabbed his own bag and made his way up the stairs to his room. “Hey,” Draco gently touched his arm. “Are you okay?” Harry sighed as he spun around, “I’m nervous. They don’t know we’re...” His cheeks turned slightly pink as he looked at the floor. “That we’re dating?” Draco teased as he put a finger on Harry’s chin and lifted it, “Well we are and we have been for a few months now.” “I haven’t even told them I was gay,” Harry groaned as he flopped on his bed.
“It’s not like they won’t accept you. I mean Sirius and Remus are together,” Draco said logically as he sat on the bed in a more graceful manner. Harry shot him a glare, pushing the hair out of his eyes, “Yes but it’s different. I’m their son. Not their best friend.” Draco wanted to point out that it wasn’t really that different since they were accepting and open-minded, but felt like Harry just needed his panic moment. He wasn’t in the mood to argue anyway.
“Well,” Draco muttered as he leaned down and pressed a kiss to his cheek. “I think they’ll love you either way.” Harry blushed before pushing him away, “Come on. I want to say hi to Padfoot and Moony.” Draco raised an eyebrow, “Not your dad?” Harry shrugged, a slightly mischievous grin that was reminiscent of his father’s on his face, and bolted from the room. Draco sighed before following at a more relaxed pace.
“Padfoot! Moony!” Harry yelled out in excitement as Sirius immediately jumped up and was tackled into a hug, “Prongslet!” Sirius yelled, just as excited spinning his godson around. “I missed you. How was school? Classes going well? Pull any good pranks? Giving Snivellus hell?” Remus smacked his arm, “Pads. No name calling our godson’s professors.” He scolded in a tired way that suggested that this wasn’t the first time this conversation happened.
Sirius ignored him as Harry began to talk, “School is school. Although I am in the top five,” He said proudly as he was passed into Remus’s arms for a hug. “Classes are reviewing material still so it hasn’t been new. I finally pranked Mrs. Norris.” This was met with cheers as the Marauders knew how difficult that cat could be. “And Snape-“ A look was given by Remus. “Professor Snape,” Harry amended with an eye roll. “Still hates me.” “Childish bast—” “Sirius!” “Bat! I meant bat!” Remus shook his head before ruffling Harry’s hair, “I’m glad to hear you’re doing well cub.” He said warmly as Harry scowled and fixed his hair.
“What am I? Chopped liver?” James complained as he finally interrupted. “Where’s my hug, brat?” Harry tapped his chin in a thoughtful way before he was snatched into a hug much to his laughter. “I missed you dad,” Harry said quietly as he hugged his father back. James grinned broadly, “Missed you too mini-me. It’s so boring driving your mother crazy without you.” Harry snickered as he pulled back. “If Sniv—” Remus cleared his throat pointedly. “Snape,” James rolled his eyes in a similar fashion to Harry’s. “Keeps giving you a hard time, let us know. We’ll handle it like we did last year, and the year before, and the year before...” He trailed off as he and Sirius shared a grin. Harry laughed, “He always leaves me alone after you guys show up so maybe I’ll call in the reinforcements.” He joked.
“Leave my godfather alone,” Draco chimed in as he leaned against the wall. “He only hates you so much Harry because you won’t stop pulling pranks.” Harry gave him a look of disbelief. “Okay,” Draco admitted with a chuckle. “He would hate you either way. But still,” He said with a cross of his arms. “As his godson, I’m obligated to defend him a bit.” “And as your bo-best friend, you should be taking my side,” Harry said, flushing as he remembered they were in the company of those who didn’t know they were together. Draco seemed to realize this as he smirked at him in amusement. Remus’s eyes seemed to narrow and flicker between the two before Lily called for dinner.
“Something’s going on with the cub and Draco,” Remus murmured into Sirius’s ear as the two were the last ones walking to the table. Sirius gave him a confused but interested look as he studied his godson and his best friend, “I’ll keep an eye on them.” Draco gave them a calculating look as he noted the whispers but sat next to Harry without saying anything.
“This is so good Mum. I always miss your cooking at Hogwart’s,” Harry said delightedly as he filled his plate. Lily beamed, “I’ll pack you up some treats before you go back and I’ll have to send some more food during the year.” Harry agreed wholeheartedly as Draco chuckled at his boyfriend’s antics. “So Harry,” Sirius said casually as he ate. “Go on any dates lately? How’s that Cho girl you were into?” Harry choked on his bite before clearing his throat as Draco patted his back, silver eyes shining in amusement.
“Oh-Uh...we didn’t work out,” Harry’s eyes didn’t leave his plate. “What a shame. Anyone else you’re seeing these days?” Remus caught onto what Sirius was doing. “I...uh...no?” Harry said nervously as Draco bit his tongue to keep himself from laughing. “No?” Remus’s tone was the embodiment of innocence, “No one?” Harry shook his head and took another bite. “Not even a...boy perhaps?” Harry immediately dropped his fork in surprise. James paused in his eating as he glanced between his son and his friends. Years of friendship had given them the ability to communicate silently and with a few looks from Sirius, James was practically caught up.
“Oh Harry!” Lily said gently, “We don’t mind if you like boys or girls.” She noted how Harry’s eyes flickered to Draco and how Draco was radiating smugness. “Yeah,” James agreed as he leaned back in his chair. “You could date your best friend and we would be okay with that.” Harry’s mouth dropped open as Draco finally lost his composure and started laughing. “H-How did you-?” Harry stuttered before banging his head on the table. “Fine! I’m dating Draco!” The Marauders exchanged smirks of triumph as Lily squealed in delight.
Draco patted his boyfriend’s shoulder consolingly, “See it wasn’t that bad.” Harry’s glare was laced with a hidden viciousness that reminded Draco why his boyfriend was truly a Slytherin, “You’re right. Now we just have to tell your parents.” Harry said in a sweet tone that had Draco paling as he suddenly remembered that his parents didn’t know about them dating either.
