drarry from ages ago, (somewhat) inspired by maurice denis’ paintings of the legend of saint hubert:

Every time I look up a fanfic writer on tumblr and see them using ai art to promote their fics I die a little inside. Put together a shitty graphic in photoshop or befriend an artist like god intended

I'm working on a Drarry story (in my mind ofc) but I'm stuck between wanting to make it a fic, a comic, or just saying: "fuck everything" and make it a short animated show/movie. But I'm too lazy...

There is also the option of making a visual novel but all of the latter options take too much time and work 😭 Why can't I just manifest it magically into reality😔

I love villains that are the reverse of the idea that the absence of love makes you evil. Villains that love to the point of paranoia and obsession. Villains whose love for someone corrupts them. Love being used for awful, evil things. Using love to justify horrific actions. Anything that breaks down the toxic idea that people who don’t feel love are monsters and those who feel love are always pure and heroic and morally right.

The brattiest thing Draco ever did was to respond to Snape saying "I made the Unbreakable Vow" with "Looks like you'll have to break it, then."

Snape must've been facepalming so hard like 'how did I end up sworn to protect two teenagers who I lowkey want to throttle?'

“A teenage boy with a pale, pointed face and white-blond hair appeared from behind the rack, wearing a handsome set of dark green robes that glittered with pins around the hem and the edges of the sleeves. He strode to the mirror and examined himself; it was a few moments before he noticed Harry, Ron, and Hermione reflected over his shoulder. His light grey eyes narrowed.” (HBP, 112)

There are four things that I like about this passage:

the adjectives Harry chooses to describe Draco

the fact that it says that it was “a few moments” before Draco noticed Harry, Ron, and Hermione, implying that Harry was watching Malfoy check himself out in the mirror, waiting for him to notice him

this scene takes place in Madame Malkin’s. Where they first met. And there’s that crucial message in Harry Potter, the one that goes, “I open at the close.” Draco’s seeing Harry again in Madame Malkin’s five years after they first met, and after this scene Harry notices Draco acting suspicious and convinces Ron and Hermione into following Malfoy into Borgin and Burkes. This scene opens a new chapter in the two’s dynamic—the part where Harry gets suspicious and obsessed with him—and ends the part of their relationship where Draco seemingly lives for no other purpose than to bother Potter, because now he has other stuff to do and the stakes are higher.

the thing where Draco looks over his shoulder in the mirror and sees the Trio. You know another time where he sees someone over his shoulder in the mirror? The bathroom scene.

I’ll be good, I’ll be good (I’ll be good, I’ll be good)

Totally agree!! I mean there is a reason why in the books, most times, when Harry fails at something or something embarassing happened to him his first thought is: Did Draco see it? I hope Draco did not Draco see this, If Draco saw this... etc

Harry regards Draco as an equal, because Draco regards him as an equal. Not someone superior or extraordinary.

He also sees Draco for who he is: smart, cunning, powerful (beautiful with shiny hair haha). He's the only one who actually respects Draco in a way that Ron and Hermione don't. Ron and Hermione who both see him as "not worth it" that they brush off Harry's theory about Draco being a DE because they don't think Draco is.. well "worth it" enough to actually go with it. They see him as inferior to them as Draco sees them as his inferiors (althought not in the same bigoted way he sees them but they see him as less because he's a "coward" mostly"

Ok I got off track but yes I agree

guys, guys, hear me out.

i dont think draco would care that harry was powerful.

think about it. draco knew full well harry destroyed voldy as a toddler and still bullied him. then he lived with one of the most powerful wizards of their time and was afraid yes but also incredibly unimpressed by voldy as a whole.

the only way he would care about harry being pwerful is that it would give him incentive to become just as powerful if not more. he wouldnt care to look at harry with starry eyes bc he would be like “psh, i could do that if i tried. obvs i just haven’t tried yet.”

ex. harry uses wandless magic, draco: i didnt know we could do that… bet i could do it better than you. how long did u practice for? i could probably do it half that.

like, did i cook, chat? do u get it?

it’s drarry season every season but it slaps hardest in the last few months of the year. there’s just something different like eating in-season produce at the right time. trying to let go of being too clean and go ham on textures and shapes instead. what’s your favorite detail?

full wips & process work as well as discord & more on our patreon! it directly supports us & our rescue!

Thank you!!!

I need a fanfic with Draco as Muggle studies professor. How come there isn't one? Imagine 10 years later: Harry, after he quit being an auror, a fresh out DADA teacher hears about this MS professor who everyone loves and then he finds out it's Draco. lol.
