Hi there,

can I request a Blaise Zabini x reader?

Reader is also a Slytherin who got partnered up with Harry Potter during potions and became fast friends with him. Harry asked for her help to make Ginny jealous but what she didn’t expect is that Blaise would also be jealous and ended up confessing that he’s been in love with her this whole time? (Blaise and reader are close friends).

Thank you!

Glitch

Blaise Zabini x reader Summary: Helping Harry make his crush jealous unknowingly made your best friend jealous as well,I think there's been a glitch Warnings: Cursing , Sexual Innuendos -------------

I was supposed to sweat you out In search of glorious happenings of happenstance on someone else's playground But it's been two thousand one hundred and 90 days of our love blackout The system's breaking down

Y/N POV

Your brows furrow as you look up from your paper that you were busy writing your essay on before Harry sat himself down across from you and proposed a ridiculous idea

"Come on...Please..." He pleads as he stares you down

You stare at him silently before setting your quill down and leaning back in your chair "Let me get this straight, you want me to parade around as your arm candy so you can make your best friends little sister jealous in hopes she will notice you and go on a date with you?" Harry shakes his head as she groans "When you put it like that it sounds bad"

"No shit! That's because it is bad, it's actually horrible. In fact it's so bad I am honestly disgusted-"

He cuts you off with a dramatic roll of his eyes and a scoff "Fine, just forget it."

"Woah, woah, woah glasses. I never said I wouldn't do it."

"But you said-"

"I said it was a bad idea, not that I wouldn't do it." You shrug slightly before sitting up straighter in the chair "I'll do it, only because I know how much it will piss your little friends off that your associating with the enemy."

He rolls his eyes again but nods "Cool...Just- I'll meet you outside the greathall in the morning alright?" "Mhm. Off you go glasses"

With one last scoff he walks out of the library and back to wherever he came from and you just shake your head with a giggle as you watch him walk out the door

-------------

The next morning you roll out of bed and go about your morning routine. Taking a quick shower, brushing your teeth and hair, doing your skin care and getting dressed into your uniform for the day before making your way down to the common room where Draco, Theodore, Mattheo, Astoria, Daphne, Pansy and Blaise were already stood.

"About time you got down here" Astoria says with a smirk as you walk over to the group and took your spot next to Blaise

"Yeah, yeah, says the one who has to wake up four hours early."

With that we all have a little laugh before starting our walk towards the great hall. With a raised brow Pansy pokes your side and points over to Harry who was stood at the doors of the great hall

"Whats he doing?" she asks, ever the nosey and you giggle softly

"Waiting for me."

Blaise's neck almost broke from how fast he turned it to look at you. "Excuse me?"

"You heard me. Anyways, I will see you fine people in class" You blow them all a kiss before walking off and over to Harry who instantly laces his fingers with yours and leads you into the great hall

Blaise watches with a glare as you disappear into the great hall, your fingers laced with...Harry fucking Potters...Without meaning to I scoff and suddenly Draco's chuckle pulls me from my head and I look over at him slightly confused

Draco smirks before mockingly wiggling his brows "Watch it Zabini, you might be a Slytherin but green is not your color mate"

Blaise rolls his eyes and ignores the other teasing comments as he makes his way into the great hall and sits down to begin eating breakfast. His gaze travels from his plate and over to the Gryffindor table where you were sat, tucked into Potters side giggling at something he says

He can't be that funny and he sure as hell isn't cute- He pulls himself from his thoughts when you glance over at him and wink.

He rolls his eyes and turns his gaze back back to his plate, an action that shocked you as he always winked back...

Deciding to talk to him about it later you turn your own gaze back to Harry who was now talking to Ginny about godrick knows what. After a moment you fall into a surprisingly friendly conversation with Hermione.

-------------

Classes drug by. With Blaise seemingly ignoring you, you had no one to talk to or mess around with. The only good thing being that Harry successfully won over Ginny, something you were very surprised about.

Trudging into the common room you groan and immediately threw off your shoes before glancing around the room to see who was around. Seeing Blaise and Theo you smile and walk over taking a seat between both of them, your smile dropping instantly when Blaise stands and walks off up to his dorm.

Glancing over at Theo clearly confused he sighs rolling his eyes "He is so dramatic"

"Did I do something wrong?"

"Yeah."

Theos words shocked you and your eyes widened "Wh-What? What did I do?"

"You sucked Potters dick instead of Zabinins?"

While Theo's original words shocked you the sentence that fell from his mouth left you utterly speechless "E-Excuse me?"

Theo shrugs as if he just said the most normal thing ever. "You heard me."

You scoff shaking your head as you stand from the couch shaking your head "He doesn't look at me like that, you're crazy."

"Right, he totally isn't talking to you because he thinks you're screwing scar head. He is totally fine with it and just absolutely adores the idea because he totally isn't in love with you."

You were once again rendered speechless by his words, there was no possible way that Blaise, your absolute best friend, was in love with you-

Cutting your own thoughts off you dash up to the boys dorms, ignoring the teasing comment of Theodore who yelled "Go get that dick girl!"

After knocking on the door and receiving no answer you take it upon yourself to slam the door open finding Blaise, who now looked startled, laying shirtless on his bed with his phone in his hands

"Are you- What is happening with you? Why are you mad at me?"

He rolls his eyes with a scoff before muttering "Go away Y/N"

Shaking your head and walking into the dorm before closing the door behind you "No. Do you love me?"

His eyes widen slightly, clearly caught off guard by your blunt answer, he looks over at you then back to his phone "Doesn't matter, you're with Potter..."

Rolling your eyes you walk over and plop yourself down on the bed next to him causing him to shoot you a bewildered look "What are you-"

"I am not with Potter, I was merely trying to help him get with Ginny."

His bewilderment quickly turns to confusion as his body slowly relaxes from the tense state it was previously in and it slowly relaxed "Help with Ginny? How was you pretending to be his girlfriend helping him?"

You rolls your eyes "He made her jealous by pretending to date me since she hates me..."

"That..." Blaise mumbles as he lays his head back against the pillow "Is the dumbest thing I've ever heard..."

"I know!" You exclaim before rolling onto your side to face him "Now, tell me the truth. Do you love me or is Theodore lying?"

Blaise raises a brow as he glances over at you "Nott told you?"

With a groan you rather roughly smack his shoulder "Stop avoiding the question!"

He groans "Fine- yes... I do but it doesn't matter because there is no way you like me back-"

Rolling your eyes you cut his rambling off with a soft kiss, your hands gently cupping his cheeks as his hands shoot down to your waist as he instantly melts into the kiss

After a moment you pull away and rest your forehead against his "I do love you...I have for awhile..."

A smirk forms on his face as he pushes you onto your back next to him before climbing on top of you and kissing you again...among other things...

I think there's been a glitch, oh, yeah Five seconds later, I'm fastening myself to you with a stitch, oh, yeah And I'm not even sorry Nights are so starry, blood moonlit It must be counterfeit I think there's been a glitch, oh, yeah

Hi! I was wondering are there any other pairings that you would consider for Draco and Harry? What appeals to you about those pairings?

Honestly, the only other person I ship Harry with is Ginny. I'm not likely to read Harry/Ginny fic, but that's a ship I can really imagine being happily ever after in a way that lives on in my head. Meanwhile I will totally read Harry/Snape, Harry/Sirius, or the crossgen ships, but I do not ship them and mostly really just want some nice smut in those corners of the fandom.

But for Draco, I ship Draco/Hermione in a major way. But I'm really afraid of reading fic for them because I'm just kind of assuming the dynamic will be a lot of a) Hermione deciding Ron isn't her intellectual equal and therefore is a bad partner, which is something I cannot stand and makes me almost want to like Ron out of sheer spite, b) Hermione deciding Malfoy is her intellectual equal and therefore a suitable partner, when he's really not; no one is her intellectual equal and that really is okay, c) Hermione deciding Malfoy is really hot and fuckable, or d) Malfoy deciding Hermione's gotten really hot and fuckable because she's smoothing down her hair and wearing fashionable clothes, which I despise viscerally.

Meanwhile all I've ever wanted in my life is Malfoy growing up and being a bit more mature and having some regrets and then meeting Hermione again and absolutely losing his mind for her. Like she is so smart and so talented and so powerful and so honorable and so good that he just worships her. And he's like "well that's very nice; I've turned over a new leaf and can respect a Muggleborn; I am an improved member of society," except his dick keeps being inconvenient about it.

And slowly Malfoy realizes that Hermione with her bushy hair and bad clothes is perhaps the hottest woman on earth. And it really, really sucks because Hermione is infinitely kind to him and the only person in this new society who has ever really given former Death Eaters, and also him specifically, a second chance. And she's so warm to him and generous and good and laughs at his little jokes. And also she would never be romantically interested in him in like. Ever.

She's literally never thought of him that way, not even once. She mostly pities him and kind of thinks he's a funny little guy. And Harry is like WTF he called you slurs and you were tortured in his house, and she's like, "We must move beyond our past, Harry," and she really does, but it literally never occurs to her that Malfoy is a man. He's a human being who deserves a chance. And at some point maybe someone even points out that Malfoy is a man that may have some kind of romantic or sexual desires in this world, like maybe they think Malfoy's a hunk and wonder who he might be dating, and Hermione is a startled by this because she's literally never considered it and then goes right back to not considering it, she has so little interest.

This is really the fic that I want to read. Like Draco making heart eyes for hundreds of pages and meanwhile Hermione pioneers space travel and the cure for cancer. BUT I would also be fine if eventually Hermione did notice him and return his affection, but only after like, a RIDICULOUS amount of him pining while she is so completely oblivious that she makes Wei Wuxian look super aware.

Anyway, that's my other main Draco ship, though I quite like Draco/Ginny too. I'm not sold on a particular ship dynamic, though I somehow doubt fic about them is really focused on the shared trauma of Voldemort befriending them and using them and threatening them and throwing them away, which is what I would really be into for them. I also just think they're kind of hot, I guess, though honestly most Ginny pairings are hot because she's hot.

I'll read some crossgen stuff and I'd possibly read like, idk, Draco/Lupin or Draco/Neville and like it, but I think my heart is really set on Draco/Harry or Draco/Hermione, even if I'll never read the latter.

Hey!

Thanks for all the great work you do for the fandom! I couldn't go through the entire masterlist so not sure if this rec has already been answered.

Do you have any drarry fics which is just a complete emotional roller-coaster ride? Something very emotional and gut-wrenching?

Thanks again!

Hi anon, you’re very welcome! Sure thing, here are my favorites. This list has a focus on long fics but if you’re into shorts I also did an angsty rec list here. Happy Holidays!

(Un)wanted by @aibidil (E, 36k)

Ginny's pregnant, then she's not and Harry's single. Harry, again with no family, doesn't know what to do with this turn of events, or how to find a new life—post-war, post-Ginny, post-abortion—in which he belongs. He doesn't expect that life to include dancing to the Backstreet Boys with Hermione and Draco Malfoy. A story of finding belonging in the unexpected.

Stop All the Clocks (This Is the Last Time I’m Leaving Without You) by @firethesound (E, 44k)

Living with Draco was difficult; living without him is unbearable. But if there’s one thing Harry learned from the war, it’s that even when one life ends, the rest of the world goes right on living.

The Boy Who Only Lived Twice by lettered (E, 54k)

Harry Potter is an Unspeakable. Draco Malfoy is the wizard who shagged him. Adventure! Intrigue! Secret identities, celebrities, spies! It's all right here, folks.

Super Rich Kids by @thusspoketrish (E, 81k)

Draco Malfoy has become disillusioned by the glitz and glamour of the scandalous lives of the Post-Second Wizarding War Pureblood Elite. Enter: one existential crisis, one group of thieving cynical friends, and several terrible, terrible decisions.

Merlin Works in Mysterious Ways by lordhellebore (M, 82k)

When Harry is forced to form a Blood Bond with Draco Malfoy under threat of death, he thinks his future will consist of a cold home and sexual frustration. But when a group of left-over Death Eaters decides to stir trouble, their lives change completely – and it takes them both some years to figure out whether it’s for better or for worse.

Dwelling by aideomai (T, 83k)

Curses, James and Lily Potter ride again, several Ministry balls, a teenage Summer of Love, a grim young adult dystopian winter, a few different Draco Malfoys, secrets and the problems re: not having any, alternate lives, impossible lives, real lives, allusions to Dirty Dancing, and just because it's not called the Mirror of Erised doesn't mean you shouldn't know better.

I Am Not Who I Became by mab_di (E, 93k)

Draco left England after the trials and has travelled the world meeting wizards and Muggles from different cultures and with vastly different relationships to magic, each other, and the natural world. Now he's a fisherman in Finland on commercial vessels. Harry has been struggling since the war and has become a recluse while trying to write his autobiography.

Nor All That Glisters by @sweet-s0rr0w (E, 110k)

Lonely and frustrated on house arrest, with no prospects for the future, Draco begins brewing Felix Felicis in an attempt to improve his lot. Just in the short term, of course. He isn’t a total idiot. But before long he finds himself with a thriving business, a nice flat, some actual (albeit irritatingly Gryffindor) friends, and a very satisfying sex life. What’s more, no-one is hexing him in the street. And Harry Potter is single, and gorgeous, and giving Draco decidedly interested looks.

Far From The Tree by aideomai (E, 112k)

The arrival of Harry Potter’s children—snapped back in time, the children themselves guessed, twenty or so years—was the most interesting thing to happen at Hogwarts for years.

Another Mask Behind You by lettered (E, 116k)

Draco is a high-end prostitute who hides his identity. Harry unknowingly hires him. And then there is porn, questions about identity, domestic bliss, more porn, and truth as seen through a web of lies. (And then more porn. Seriously, if you don’t want sex scene after sex scene you probably shouldn’t read this. And please read the warnings.)

Grounds for Divorce by Tepre (E, 122k)

Malfoy finds a coin. Harry finds a letter. A story about histories, a story about families. A story about a lemon tree somewhere in Upper Egypt.

Away Childish Things by lettered (T, 153k)

Harry gets de-aged. Malfoy has to help him.

Twist of Fate by Oakstone730 (T, 302k)

Draco asks Harry to help him beat the Imperius curse during 4th year. The lessons turn into more than either expected. A story of redemption and forgiveness.

As her charity event draws to a close, Hermione is tired, but pleased.

The crowd is larger than she’d dared to hope for, and heavily engaged, friends and admirers cheering and whistling with each new announcement. The night has gone smoothly, no hitches or scandals. And with one bachelor left, the rest should be easy.

She smiles to herself from where she stands just off-stage as the inevitable crowd favorite is announced.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our final lot for tonight...Draco Malfoy!”

He walks onstage with faltering steps, handsome as ever but lacking his usual cock-sure attitude. The man is nervous.

She feels a flash of something. Is it…pity?

They’d come up with a strategy for tonight, and it’d gone almost exactly according to plan.

Almost.

Ginny had won Blaise easily, avoiding any need to share her boyfriend.

Theo had (dramatically) over-bid on Harry, happy to publicly embarrass his husband for a good cause. Plus, he knew the large sum would be good publicity for his firm.

But then Pansy, meant to protect Draco from misguided witches with delusions of betrothal contracts, had gotten…distracted.

Viktor Krum offering to participate had been a boon for Hermione’s Charity Bachelor Auction. The addition of such a high-profile celebrity brought in significant interest and advanced press coverage, and Hermione had known Viktor would be a good sport about the whole thing. It had been an easy decision with no foreseeable downside.

Until a glassy-eyed Pansy Parkinson had used all the galleons she’d brought to bid on Malfoy to secure a date with the international Quidditch star, leaving the tall, sought-after blonde on stage looking vulnerable and unsure.

Hermione offers him an encouraging smile.

He grimaces in return.

It’ll be fine, though. Right?

It has to be.

Her event can’t be the thing that forces him back into marriage dates after years of successful avoidance. Narcissa would be over the moon, of course. But Hermione would feel terrible.

She breathes a sigh of relief when Padma, a mutual friend with a known preference for witches, bids. A platonic date would solve all of their problems.

Her relief is short-lived.

The crowd parts to reveal a determined-looking Astoria Greengrass raising a paddle in response.

Malfoy’s panicked eyes find Hermione’s.

Please, he mouths. Desperate.

Her heart aches for him.

He’s a good friend, has been since eighth year.

He’s also a great backup date for functions, far more attentive than any of her exes. He has impeccable manners, grabbing her drinks and anticipating her needs before she has a chance to ask for anything. And he’s particularly great at subverting awkward conversations.

He’s gone to dozens of stuffy affairs, and he’s never asked for anything in return.

Until now.

Ron, who’d volunteered to MC when Lav refused to let him participate as a bachelor, calls for final bids.

Hermione sighs.

It’s not smart. Instead of the cause, this will be the story in tomorrow’s Prophet.

But he’s begging her with those sad, puppy-dog eyes.

Resigned, she steps onto the stage and raises her paddle.

A hush falls over the auditorium, a sudden blanket of near-silence.

Through the quiet, someone in the crowd actually gasps. Which is ridiculous; their friendship has been well-documented. Hermione suppresses the urge to roll her eyes.

Astoria keeps bidding, and so does Hermione. In minutes they’ve promised more than the event had previously earned twice over.

Hermione is going to murder Pansy.

When they hit a landmark sum, Astoria finally backs off, and Hermione is pronounced the winner to a tittering crowd.

She walks on stage, giving Malfoy a perfunctory embrace.

“You’re paying me back,” she whispers.

He returns it, gripping tightly, wrapping her in a warm embrace. A warm, friendly embrace. “Every knut,” he agrees, his voice a low growl. Not gratitude, but something else.

A shiver travels up her spine. Which is silly, of course. This is Draco Malfoy. Her friend.

“We don’t have to go on the date,” she says as they’re engulfed by the din of the applauding crowd. “I know the organizer, she’ll let it slide.” See? It’s funny. One big joke, nothing more.

“Granger.” It sounds like a warning, but he won’t let her pull back. “I’m taking you on the best date of your life.”

He kisses her then, swallowing her confusion, and it’s even better than she remembers.

Before they were friends, there’d been that one kiss that one night that neither of them had talked about after.

The one she thinks of sometimes after a bad day, or a bad date, or a particularly long dry spell.

Blood pounds in her ears as the crowd responds enthusiastically to the new development. Hermione looks around wildly–at Ron, in the announcer’s stand. Out at the crowd. Anywhere but Draco’s intense eyes, trained on her.

From the back of the room, Pansy gives her the kind of encouraging glare only she is capable of.

In fact, all of their friends are watching them, rather expectantly.

She finally meets his gaze, and finds him grinning. “I don’t understand.”

“Parks’s been hot for Krum for ages. She begged me to let her out of our deal,” he says, with a carefully practiced shrug. “Seemed like a good time to try something I’ve wanted for ages, too.”

“...And you just left it up to chance?” she asks, suspiciously.

“Of course not,” he scoffs, leading her from the spotlight as though she’d already agreed to the date. “Who do you think talked Astoria into bidding?”

A Malfoy always gets what he wants.

LOST FICS

I am looking for a fic that has harry potter going back in his eleven year old body after the second war (I guess?) Or he could also not be back in his eleven year body but some other year. I just know that he was master of death and he stood up to snape when he was being an arse to him. Harry time traveled back in time, I vividly remember the scene. Harry was in a potion class and snape as usual was being an arse and harry thought maybe he wouldn't be harsh on him or even change but no snape was still an arse to him and harry had enough so he called snape a Bastard who was pathetic and wouldn't move on from his gurge and he walked out and refused to attended the class unless snape apologized for his behavior and promise not to do it again. Hermione and Ron tried to pursue harry with other professors as well, but he was adamant about it and refused to attend potion class, at last Dumbledore called harry and snape in his office and tried to solve it but snape was still an arse.

i've been trying to find this fic for years now and have had no luck. it's a fanfic about how harry has 2 personalities (assumed it was from the horcrux but not explicitly stated) and he was so much smarter because of it. In it, harry is a ravenclaw, Hermione is a slytherin, and so is Fred but idk about George. Also snape gets eaten by a basilisk and the basilisk is named hedwing. Also, harry creates a potion to turn some boys into girls so Daphne doesn't have to marry Theo nort. Last I checked it was uncompleted and I'm pretty sure it changed its name.

Hello! I've been trying to find this fanfiction on Ao3 for a while with no luck. It is a Dark Lord/Harry fanfiction, and possibly completed. I remember it having a pretty high word count. Vaguely, I can remember that Bellatrix and Harry dueled in front of the Inner Circle Death Eaters and Voldemort, and though Harry struggled for the most part, I'm pretty sure he won. I vividly remember Draco yelling at him for talking to Daphne. Harry thinks that Draco has a crush on Daphne, but Draco kisses Harry instead. Harry pushes him away.

Hey! I'm not sure if you already have the fic here, but am anyways asking. I'm looking for fem!Harry/Tom fic. It's on ao3, multi-chaptered and completed. It's name is something like The Rise of _____ What I remember from it after her sixth year, Harry (I think her name is different) leaves Britain, goes to America with Sirius, studies in Ilvermorny, she's in contact with Death who helps her against Dumbledore (it's a bad!Dumbledore one) anyway before leaving I think she was in contact with Tom, who now kinda randomly shows up to 'woo' her, she's also good friends with Draco, Narcissa and Bellatrix (calles her Auntie Trixie) It's not a very old fic, completed sometime b/w 2021-23

the fic im searching for Harry gives Tom permission to do whatever he wants. It was multichaptered and finished. At one point there’s a Harry/Cedric bit but Tom admits that he would rather not see anybody touch Harry that way again and I think he obliviates Cedric? Also Tom and Harry get frisky on the side of the quidditch shed in a fit of jealously due to Ginny. At the end the order tries something and makes Harry’s cat sick and he gets almost kidnapped by leaving.

Hi there! This blog is AMAZING. I was delighted to be recced. I need some help looking for a fic on fanfiction.net that I highly suspect has been deleted, but am still hoping it may be my sub-par searching skills. It is a multichapter ongoing story, and had maybe two chapters up when I read it. The main characters are Harry Potter and Tom Riddle in a hospital setting (it may be St. Mungos). Harry is a star (like a literal celestial star) in the body of a child, which has a lot of problems containing him, and is hence in a state of near-death. He coughs blood. Tom Riddle's mother is also long-term hospitalized and he comes to visit her. This is how they end up meeting in the hispital. (And all I remember of the story). Pretty sure it was on ff.net between 2009 and 2012. I never could find it again.

Black Roses - Fourth Year - Harry Potter X Female (Slytherin) Reader

Title: Fourth Year

Harry Potter X Female (Slytherin) Reader

Additional Characters: Hermione, Ron, Pansy, Draco, McGonagall (Mentioned), Blaze (Mentioned), Cedric (Mentioned), Cho (Mentioned), Padma (Mentioned), Snape (Mentioned), Ginny, Neville, and Viktor (Mentioned)

WC: 4,378 (long chapter)

Warnings: Fighting, name-calling (nothing too bad), yelling, Ron being a jerk, slight angst, and fluff

You were walking towards your next class, potions when someone bumped into you, almost making you fall over. You quickly gained your balance and turned to see Pansy smirking at you. You looked down at her, glaring as you re-adjusted your over-the-shoulder bag.

"Parkinson... What a lovely surprise." You mumble, incredibly unhappy to have to deal with her.

Pansy just continued to smirk, crossing her arms. "Well, well, well... If it isn't little miss blood traitor."

You sighed, completely over her at the moment, "What are you going to do, Parkinson? Hang me in the gallows? I thought we went over this last week. Or do I have to teach you again?" You asked, before pointing to your tie.

"Mine is green." You then point to Pansy's tie, "And yours in green. See? Or have you become colorblind over the week?" You say snarkily with a smirk of your own.

Pansy smirks even bigger and you turn to walk away before you hear her speak up once more.

"You can't leave yet... I haven't finished talking to you, blood traitor." You stopped, turning to face the Slytherin.

"Oh! Did you not retain what I just taught you? I mean really, Pansy, honey, you're turning green with envy here." You spoke, shaking your head at her. "You're like a toddler in a teenager's body... and I thought you were supposed to be smart... I feel stupid now by just looking at you."

"Don't start something you won't be able to finish." She speaks, a bit of anger creeping into her tone.

"Please, Pansy, I'm a professional. I know what I'm doing." You spoke, looking down at her, quickly whipping out your wand, and pointed at her. "Now, I would suggest you be a good little witch and go to class, hm?" You say sickly sweet as you stared at her.

Pansy gulped as she stared into your eyes, she watched as they glinted and shifted, filling her with fear. She quickly glared at you and snarled at you before leaving down the hall with heavy steps. You humphed, pocketing your wand as you traveled back to potions. Opening the door, Snape looked up from his desk, giving you a knowing look to which you gave a small mischievous smile and shrugged, taking your seat in the third row. Opening your textbook, you flipped to the chosen page you saw a fellow Slytherin have their page on and began to take notes.

~~~

"Has anyone asked you to the Yule Ball yet, Y/N?" Hermione asked as she did her homework on her big canopy bed. "It wouldn't surprise me if tons of other students did." He spoke and you sighed, looking over at the girl from your own bed.

"Oh! Yes, Hermione. I've had to push them off me with my wand. They have been lining up to just ask me." You spoke sarcastically and Hermione nodded, "Besides, I don't really know if I want to go."

"But it's coming up soon! Why wouldn't you want to go?" She asked, getting up and walking over to you, pulling you out of your seat, and taking your hands in hers.

Hermione gently danced around the room with you, "Imagine the sight. Oh, it will be gorgeous. The Grand Hall’s engulfed in white, light blue, and silver. The dance floor filled with everyone dancing. Dancing under the falling snow and stars. It's so romantic." She spoke dreamily.

"I don't know." You said, shaking your head, "But, also... Says you! Viktor is taking you. He should be feeling very lucky." You added and Hermione shook her head with a giggle.

"I never would have thought he'd ask me... Or anyone for that matter." Hermione spoke up as she frowned slightly, and you knew why.

"Ron is an idiot. This is your special night to have some fun. Not always stuck in your books and work. Viktor really seems to like you. I'm so happy for you, 'Mione." You smiled softly at her and she blushed, nodding.

"Don't think I forgot about you." She spoke with a 'I caught ya' look, "You should go to the Yule Ball." She whispered, before letting you go.

You nodded at her, "I mean... I want to go... If I had someone to go with. Heh, I mean. I'd go with any of our friends just if they asked me. I don't care if they fancy me or anything. To just be asked 'Hey, you want to be my date to the dumb ball? Yeah, I don't want to go either.'" You joke in a deep voice, making Hermione laugh.

"Don't you like Cedric?" She asked and you felt your face flush.

"Yeah, but he's going with Cho." You muttered, feeling the heat of embarrassment rise to your cheeks.

"Oh, I'm sorry..." Hermione spoke and you shrugged, turning away from her.

"Nothing's wrong with it. It's just... I don't know. Didn't really have too much hope for that. I've only spoken to him twice." You spoke, rolling your eyes.

"Ah, you're jealous." She stated, and you scoffed, "There's nothing wrong with that."

"How could I not? He's cute." You spoke as if it was a fact. "He's a man of quality."

You sigh, shaking your head, "He's perfect. He's smart, charming and funny. He's popular, and he's a great Quidditch player. There is nothing wrong with him." You spoke, trying to convince yourself as much as Hermione.

Hermione hummed, a small smirk on her face, "I guess so. Sounds like you’re talking about Harry." She trailed off and you looked at her with furrowed eyebrows.

"What are you saying?" You spoke, hoping she didn’t clue together that you also liked Harry.

"C'mon, Y/N... Harry's the kindest person I know. He's sweet, caring, and handsome. He's got the most beautiful green eyes... And he's kind to everyone." Hermione spoke, smiling gently at you.

You laughed awkwardly, "Sounds like you like him a bit, 'Mione." But she wasn't having it.

"I know you like to avoid this, but you need to understand and know these things." She insisted, waving her hands about.

"I know those things about Harry." You spoke, and she sighed, shaking her head.

"I'm saying, you should go with Harry. I heard he doesn't even have a date at the moment. And don't you dare try to say you don't fancy him too. I see the way you look at him and how highly you speak of him." She spoke, and you sighed, shaking your head.

"No. I'm not going with him. I just... I don't know if I can." You spoke, shaking your head again.

"Why not?" She questioned.

"Because... I don't know. I just..." You trailed off, sighing. "I mean... He would have to ask me." You say quietly, and Hermione looks at you, tilting her head slightly.

"You won't ask him?" She asked and you shook your head.

"I don't think I could live with that embarrassment if he rejected me." You told her sadly.

"What if it’s mutual?" She asked and you scoff, folding your arms.

"I don't know..." You spoke up, shaking your head. "I doubt he'd ask me."

"I don't understand you sometimes, Y/N." Hermione spoke and you groaned softly.

"Sorry." You apologized, sitting down on your bed.

Hermione frowned, "I'm sorry... I wish I could convince you."

~~~

After you talk with Hermione, you went out to the next Hogsmeade on your own to get yourself a dress. Stepping into the dress shop, your eyes immediately were drawn to one in the back center of the shop. You moved past the other shoppers swiftly, reaching the dress with ease. You picked it off the hanger and placed it against your figure, it looked perfect. Love at first sight. Scouting out an employee, you asked for a dressing room.

Stepping in, you placed your over-the-shoulder bag on the small bench before trying on the dress. Opening your eyes, you turned to the full-length mirror, in complete awe of yourself. You looked stunning. Perfect. You took a step forward and touched your hair, pushing it behind your ear. Looking back at your reflection, you giggled.

"This is perfect." You breathed, standing up and admiring yourself again in the mirror. Your eyes then dropped to the dress, marveling over it. It was tan in color, made of chiffon, and slightly see-through on the skirt. The fabric perfectly hugged every curve of your body. The bodice was a light creme color overlayed with a layer of tan slightly see-through chiffon. It was similar to a mermaid type of gown, though the skirt flowed out at the tops of your hips. You were pleasantly surprised to even see a small train behind you. Taking a look at the top of the dress, you caressed the soft chiffon sleeves and ruffled turtle-neck collar; whilst admiring the intricate gold floral embellishments along the top of the dress down to the middle of your thighs.

"I'm getting it." You whispered gleefully to yourself before getting redressed and checking the price tag. It wasn't too much, but it was more than you would usually spread on a dress.

You left with your dress perfectly wrapped in a white box, even paying a little extra for a matching pair of shoes to go along with it. With a pep in your step, you traveled all the way back to Hogwarts.

~~~

Passing a hallway, you heard someone calling your name. Stopping, you turned and watched Harry run up to you.

"Harry?" You asked, watching as he bent down to take a small breath before straightening up.

He gave you a shy smile, rubbing the back of his neck. "Hi... Uh, I was wondering- wait... What's that?" He asked, pointing down to the brown paper bag in your hand.

You glanced down at the bag, looking back up at Harry. "Uh... Nothing. Not like it's a Yule Ball dress or anything." You laughed nervously and Harry furrowed his eyebrows.

"Dress? Did someone ask you?" He asked and you sighed.

"No. But, I have a sneaking suspicion that Parkinson had something to do about it. Maybe she's been turning all my potential dates into frogs." You sarcastically pondered and Harry chuckled lightly.

"Yeah, sure, she missed one then." He spoke and you frowned slightly.

"What do you mean?" You asked, feeling your face heat up as Harry let out a breath.

He cleared his throat before speaking, looking everywhere beside you. "I'm actually glad no one asked you- wait... No! I'm not glad. No, I mean I am but I wanted to ask you, so..." He nervously rambled, fidgeting with his hands.

You couldn't help but smile at how adorable Harry was being.

"What I mean to say is... Do you want to go with me?" He asked, finally looking up at you.

You felt your heart flutter as you replayed his cute rambles in your head; and watched his anxious expression. "Of course, I'd love to go with you, Harry." You spoke, smiling fondly.

Harry grinned and nodded, "Great! Thanks! Um... Well... I'll uh... I'll leave you alone now." He stammered and hurried down the hall, disappearing out of sight.

You stood there in shock, but quickly recovered and began heading toward your dorm.

You were so excited to show Hermione your new dress.

~~~

Night of the Yule Ball and you were in the Gryffindor common room with Hermione and Ginny, getting ready. The two in question were almost finished, Hermione finishing up Ginny's hair, while Ginny moved nervously in her seat. The two of them looked so beautiful in the dresses.

'Aren't you going to get ready, Y/N?" Ginny asked, looking at you through the mirror.

You nodded, sliding off your bed and grabbing the white box from under your bed. "I'll be back."

Ginny smiled and closed her eyes as Hermione put down the brush and placed her matching hair clip into her long red locks.

"Lucky you, going with a gentleman like our little Neville Longbottom." Hermione sighed, brushing Ginny's hair down with her hand.

"Yes, yes, he's nice." Ginny said, giggling.

"He's extra lucky, going with you." Hermione spoke, as the bathroom door opened and she turned around.

Hermione's eyes widened as her jaw dropped, "Y/N?" She gasped, staring at you with wide eyes.

"What is it, Hermione?" Ginny asked curiously, turning to see you in your dress.

"Oh my goodness! Y/N! You look stunning!" The young girl squealed as you brushed your hand down the fabric skirt shyly.

"Stunning? You mean real-life goddess." Hermione complimented making you blush.

"Guys, stop. You might make me cry." You lightly scolded as the two girls scurried over to you, in awe of your dress.

"We're serious, Y/N. You're drop-dead gorgeous." Ginny replied and you clasped your hands together before you.

"It's nothing compared to the two of you. You both look like royalty." You replied with a chuckle.

The two women turned to each other, whispering excitedly.

"Can you believe it? Y/N wearing a dress that could rival a princess on her wedding day?!" Ginny asked, grinning madly.

"Oh yes, that dress is absolutely stunning." Hermione agreed, and you couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm right here, you know?" You shook your head.

The two turned back to you before Hermione spoke, "As we said, you look beautiful. Now, let's get your hair done." She spoke, leading you to the desk Ginny was sitting at before.

~~~

You watched as Ginny walked down the stairs, taking Neville's hand with a smile on both their faces. You were getting nervous. There were so many people down there.

"You'll be fine, Y/N/N." Hermione spoke, placing a hand on your arm as she gave you a reassuring smile.

You nodded, letting out a breath, before snapping your fingers and letting a small smirk of determination appear on your face.

"Good. You got this." She spoke once more before heading down the stairs. You watched as you peeked behind the wall, watching as everyone in the room paused what they were doing to watch Hermione walk down.

Hermione then took Viktor's outstretched hand and walked off to dance, glancing over at Harry and Ron. Ron's jaw dropped as he stared at Hermione. You narrowed your eyes with mischief. Hopefully, he'd realize his feelings for her now and ask her out already. Ron really needed to man up soon. Hermione might stop waiting for him, and he'll lose her forever.

Slowly, your eyes slid over to Harry beside Ron. You couldn't help but take a double-take. He looked so handsome in his slightly oversized robes. You could tell that he tried to do his hair, but you knew it was pointless, nonetheless, his shaggy hair looked great. He looked so perfect. He was biting his lip periodically and looking at his shoes, and you couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking.

Letting out a breath, you shook yourself a bit, letting out your nerves as you brought your light smirk back and took a step out behind the wall. Slowly stepping down the stairs, you made eye contact with Harry. His green eye widened slightly as his own jaw dropped before he ran his hand through his messy hair.

Once you got to the end of the steps, you watched as Harry just continued to stare at you. Ron nudged Harry on the shoulder, snapping him out of his daze as he cleared his throat. His face and the tips of his ears were a bright red as he made his way to you, offering you his hand.

"You look beautiful, Y/N." He spoke, voice shaking slightly.

"Thank you, Harry. You look rather handsome as well." You replied, your cheeks growing hotter.

Music began to softly sway and Harry looked at you curiously, yet nervously. "Do you want to dance?" He asked, offering you his hand, which you gladly accepted.

"I would love to." You answered as you stepped out onto the dance floor.

You didn't have to lead very far because Harry was right beside you. He seemed like he was in awe of you, looking at you with such adoration in his eyes. You wished you could hide your blush, but as Harry took your hand in his and put them beside you in the air and his other was placed on his waist; you forgot about your flushed cheeks. You placed your free hand on his shoulder before Harry led you into a waltz.

You were pleasantly surprised, Harry was a pretty good dancer. It reminded you of the dance practice McGonagall had taught. Ron danced with her, and Hermione and Harry were partners. As soon as McGonagall let the others practice, Draco grabbed you. He didn't want to dance with Pansy. You get it, you wouldn't either.

But, that memory faded away as you looked up into Harry's eyes, holding his gaze as he held yours. Your feet moved gracefully in time with his and his strong arms kept you steady. You couldn't help but sigh softly as you danced. You wanted to hold his gaze longer but you couldn't. Looking around, you tried to calm your racing heart. You weren't exactly used to dancing, but you could say that you really enjoyed this one. Especially with Harry.

Being so close to Harry was an amazing feeling. His hand intertwined with yours, his warm hand on your waist. You felt like you were floating on cloud nine. All the stress and anxiety that you were under vanished when Harry took you in his arms and held you close. You could smell him, and it sent a wave of warmth rushing through your body. You felt his arms tighten around you, squeezing you tighter against him and your stomach flipped over.

"Everything is so pretty." You murmur softly, and Harry nodded.

"Yeah, very pretty." He muttered and you turned to look back up at him, noticing he was still looking at you.

You smirked slightly, conjuring up a sneaky prank on your date. You looked around the room once more, draining awe, "Even the ceiling is hot dog." You spoke quietly to Harry, causing him to blush lightly.

"You're a hot dog." He muttered before his eyes widened and he heard what he had said, making you burst into laughter.

"Hot dog?" He questioned, "Why did I say that?"

You giggled, "I got you good. Seemed that you were so in awe of me that I just had to have fun with you." You teased, your smile turning into a smirk.

Harry was speechless, which was rare. "Huh?" He asked after a few moments, and you shake your head with a chuckle.

"You're adorable, Harry." You whispered.

"Well, thanks." He spoke, and you leaned in closer to him, kissing his cheek quickly. You pulled back, giving him a wink as the song slowly ended.

Before you or Harry could say anything else, Draco walked over to you. He looked at you before looking at Harry with a glare.

"Potter." He said with disdain.

"Malfoy," Harry replied with annoyance. "May we help you?" He asked.

Draco smirked and nodded, "Yes, I would like to ask the beautiful Y/N for a dance." He spoke, turning to you with a raised eyebrow.

You turned to Harry with a sorry smile, as he reluctantly let go of you.

"I would love a dance, Draco." You said to the platinum blonde before looking at Harry once more. "How about you get us a drink? I'll be right back." You wink and Harry nodded as he watched Draco take your hand and lead you onto the dance floor.

Harry sighed as his eyes dropped sadly, along with his shoulders as he found his way to a table with Ron, who was ditched by Padma. Ron was watching Hermione dancing still, eyes glaring at the young man in her arms. Harry looked to the dancing couple and to Ron, "You should be happy for her, Ron."

Ron frowned, "It's not that easy." He muttered and Harry shrugged.

"Sure it is. She looks happy doesn't she?" Harry asked and Ron nodded, giving him a small smile, "If you really like her, then you'd want her happy no matter what."

Ron shrugged, "She's just so pretty though. I should've asked her."

Harry chuckled, "Yeah, you should have."

"I just..." Ron trailed off, shaking his head with a sigh. "Don't know if I even have a bloody chance now."

Harry hummed as his eyes landed on you, dancing with Draco. You were spinning around and back into his arms with a laugh. Harry couldn't help but get jealous. He sighed heavily as he glared at Draco before his eyes focused on you again, your beautiful hair was pinned up perfectly, and small stray strands fell free; framing your face perfectly. Harry had a crush on you since the second year, and he was never able to admit it, and he wasn't sure if you felt the same. Getting up, Harry walked over to the punch bowl, grabbing two glasses for you and him. Hopefully, no one spiked it.

As the song ended, you said your goodbyes to Draco, waving a quick 'hello' to Blaze before wandering over to Harry with a smile on your face. Harry couldn't help but copy you, handing you your drink once you stood beside him. You sighed, taking a small sip from the glass. You loved the atmosphere of the ball, so soft and elegant.

"Did you have fun with Draco?" Harry asked, taking a sip of his drink.

"With Draco?" You asked, thinking before answering, "Yeah, he was fun to dance with. Why? You want to dance with him?" You teased, nudging him in the arm gently with a grin.

Harry sputtered in surprise, looking at you with his wide green eyes. "W... What? No, I was just curious." He mumbled before finishing his drink.

You side-eyed him, also finishing your drink; setting it beside you on a table. "Mm, well, you are obviously not jealous whatsoever." You taunt, watching the lovely couples dance around.

"It's hard not to be." He muttered, so quiet you almost didn't hear it. "I mean, you look amazing, Y/N. I don't know why you'd go with me." He spoke, running a hand through his hair.

"Why wouldn't I?" You questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"You could've gone with Draco. He doesn't seem to like dancing with Parkinson." He murmured, watching as the young woman laughed and Draco rolled his eyes with a deep frown.

You smiled softly, "Well, Draco didn't ask me, did he?" You taunted, looking back up at him.

"No? Yes? No." He corrected himself, earning a giggle from you.

Turning your body around to face him, you raised your hand to try and fix Harry's hair. Why was his hair so freaking soft? You were quite proud when his cheeks darkened. "And you asked me. And I said 'yes' 'cause I really like you, Harry." You smiled happily.

"You like me?" Harry asked, a small smile appearing on his face.

"Mmhm..." You murmured, dropping your hand from his hair. "Very much."

"So..." He trailed off, looking down at his nervously clenched hands before meeting your gaze again. "You wouldn't be mad if I asked you out on a date to Hogsmeade after the holidays?"

Your smirk slowly slipped into an adoring smile, "I would be angry if you didn't ask me." You joked as you nudged him again, your face feeling like it was on fire.

Harry bit his lip, fighting the smile and fidgeting with his fingers. You noticed, slowly reaching out with your hand and taking his hand in yours. Harry looked up at you with wide eyes, mouth hanging open slightly. You smirked at him, before turning back to the ball before you.

~~~

After noticing Ginny and Neville on the sidelines a ways away, you turned to Harry to let him know you'd be back before rushing over to them. Both Ginny and Neville had a frown on their faces and you too, frown; mostly in confusion.

"What's wrong?" You asked as you stopped before them.

"Ron said something rude to Hermione. She ran off crying." You immediately glared down at the ground before looking up at the two.

"Where is he?"

Ginny pointed to a table where Ron was sitting all alone. His arm propped up on his knee as he leaned his cheek on his palm. At this point, you were seeing red. You stalked over to him, Harry noticing as Ginny and Neville followed behind you.

"Ronald Bilius Weasley!" You raged, hand clenched tight as the young man in question looked up at you with wide, fearful eyes.

"How do you know my middle name?" He asked but you shook your head narrowing your eyes at him.

"I know a lot about you, Ronald, now what did you do to Hermione?" You seethed, and Ron visibly gulped.

"I didn't do anything, we just fought before she walked off." He tried to defend himself but you weren't having it.

"Uh uh uh," You waved your finger as a dark smirk crossed your lips, "She went off crying because of you, you git." You growled, stepping closer to him.

"I'm sorry, I... I didn't know I made her cry!" Ron pleaded with you, and you scoffed, "I bet you didn't even mean it, did you?" You spat sarcastically, and he winced, "Of course not! You just couldn't deal with her having a date who wasn't you." You snarled.

Ron's face paled, and he looked down, his voice low and quiet, "I'm sorry."

You narrowed your eyes, "You better be. You better apologize to her."

You huffed and pinched the bridge of your nose, "Really, Ron. You need to fix this with her." You said in a calmer voice and Ron nodded.

You then turned to Harry and gave him a sad smile, "I'm going to go and find Hermione. Thank you for taking me, Harry. I've had a lovely time with you." You kissed his cheek before turning and running off to find Hermione.

Harry smiled dreamingly, rubbing the place where you kissed him.

Rapunzel | Dramione

Pairing: draco malfoy x hermione granger

Word Count: 2.7k

Summary: stuck with the inability to meet with her boyfriend face to face on her own, hermione enlists the help of her best friend to get her there. meanwhile, stuck in a meeting of star-crossed lovers and nothing better to do, harry has a few quips for draco up his sleeve

Warnings: mild swearing

Masterlist | Ask/Tell/Request

A/N: my first work for dramione! i’ve loved this pair for so long and i'm so happy to have finally sat down and written a short fic for them. i would’ve never had the idea for this story without seeing this amazing artwork (shown in the header) by @fghartwork ! i saw it on my recommended and the idea immediately came to mind. please check out their page and the original art work here. they’re very talented and also very kind for letting me use their work in my header <3 i hope you all enjoy the story and lmk what you think! :)

“Harry be careful!” Hermione shrieks as she clings to the back of her best friend, her heart rate spiking every time he makes a sudden turn in the air.

She never did like flying.

“Hermione you’re fine, just hold on!” Harry replies with a chuckle. He can tell how frightened she is by the way her arms clutch tightly around his stomach each time he dips the broom.

“Oh trust me, I’m holding on,” she mumbles, squeezing her eyes shut as they swoop past one of the pillars on the castle. “This is so unbelievably terrifying and dangerous, I don’t get why you like it so much.”

“It’s thrilling! The wind in your hair and on your face. The way you can speed through the air and feel just like a bird, it’s brilliant!” He muses. There are few things Harry Potter finds absolute, indescribable joy in and flying is most definitely one of them. In a teasing tone he adds; “Need I remind you, you’re the one who wanted to do this.”

“Come on, Harry! You know I wouldn’t if it wasn’t my absolute last option. This is the only way I can see Draco before we leave for break. After tonight who knows how long until I’ll be able to see him again face to face.”

It was just their luck that the final day Hermione and Draco would be able to see each other, the Malfoy boy would land himself in detention. There wasn’t any way around it and no time to meet in the morning before everyone leaves. If the couple wanted to see each other one last time, this is the only way it could be done.

The only downside to the plan was that Hermione would have to travel by broom to get to Draco. There wasn’t a chance she’d be let in the room, so meeting in secret by the window was the best bet. Too bad Draco’s serving his detention in a classroom way at the top of the castle, which is how Hermione has found herself holding on to Harry for dear life as he takes her to see him.

“The two of you really can’t meet up during the break? This is honestly the last chance you’ve got to spend time with him before we leave?” Harry questions.

“Sadly, yes. With the way our personal schedules line up, there doesn’t seem to be a day we can have to ourselves. Any day I’m free he’ll be busy and any day he’s free I’ll be busy. We could always try to floo or apparate to each other during spare time, but considering how on edge everyone still is regarding our relationship, it doesn’t seem possible,” Hermione sighs. No matter how hard she tries to show everyone how much Draco has changed and grown, it doesn’t seem to change anything. Harry truly seems to be one of the only people who has somewhat accepted their relationship, besides Ginny.

Although Harry can’t see her face, he can tell Hermione is frowning behind him, wishing things could be different and still struggling with the heartache of the people she loves most not accepting the boy she’s fallen for. It took a long time for Harry to grasp the idea of their relationship, but of course with help from Ginny, he was able to come to terms with it and focus on the fact Hermione is happier than ever before. After the past few years they’ve had that’s truly all he could hope for, his best friend’s happiness.

Harry still doesn’t get how it even happened, but he guesses all of them coming back for an eighth year allowed unexpected relationships to form between people. It was weird at first, but he sees how much good it’s actually done and he’s glad he came back along with so many of his other classmates. In a way it’s been healing for him even if these walls have witnessed so much loss and destruction, and if Hermione finding comfort and love in being with Malfoy is part of her healing, then who’s he to judge her?

“Don’t worry, Hermione, I’m sure the two of you will figure it out. I can tell you both care for each other a lot and not being able to see each other in person for a while isn’t going to change that. There’s ways around your obstacles and if anyone will figure it out it’ll be you. Besides, I’m here for you if and when you need me again. I mean look at us now! If you would’ve told me a year ago I’d be helping you meet up with Malfoy I would’ve said you’re mad! Yet here we are.” The two Gryffindors laugh and Hermione fights the tears prickling in her eyes over Harry’s words. She truly doesn’t know where she’d be without him and she’s so incredibly grateful to have him in her life.

“Thank you, Harry,” she says softly as the raven-haired boy takes them around a pillar and begins to slow down as their destination comes into view.

“You’re welcome, Hermione,” he replies, lining his broom up against the side of the castle and slowly lifting the both of them up under a window that’s wide open. "Okay, now that we're here, climb up on my shoulders and I'll keep you steady while you 'talk' to Malfoy."

Hermione nearly falls off the broom over the statement alone. "What!? Why in the world would I do that when I can keep my little stability by just staying where I am, sat behind you!"

"No offense, Hermione, but I really don't wanna be sitting right next to you while you make out with your boyfriend." Hermione's face flushes fiercely and she does her best to try and gather herself before replying.

"Well, alright then. If you really want me to, I will." With a firm nod, even though Harry can't see her, Hermione decides the task won't be so bad. She's a witch for God's sake! She could handle a little challenge.

Grabbing onto Harry's shoulders, Hermione begins to lift herself up off the broom. With shaky hands, she grabs the edge of the window above her, using it to balance as she lifts one leg over Harry's shoulder, and then the other. Harry grabs onto Hermione's shins and allows her time to adjust.

"See, not so bad, right?" Harry grunts out. Hermione isn't heavy by any means, but he didn't think through all the added extra weight. Harry may be one of Hogwart's best seekers, but he's sure never flown a broom with someone sitting on his shoulders before. He'd get used to the feeling in a minute though, he's sure...hopefully.

"Right! This is fine, I'm steady, it's good!" Hermione doesn't know who she's trying to convince, Harry or herself, but it definitely seems more like the latter.

Looking up, Hermione realizes she's still a little under the window, not exactly head level with it. "Harry, can you fly us up a little bit? I can't quite see through the window."

In an instant, Hermione finds herself rising upwards. The sudden movement, although expected, startles her and causes her to let out a tiny yelp.

"Granger? Is that you?" Looking into the open window, Hermione smiles when she sees her boyfriend standing there.

"Draco!" She exclaims, leaning in closer to the windowsill and resting her arms on the ledge.

"What in the bloody hell are you doing!?" Rushing to the window, Draco leans out of it slightly, looking down to see how exactly his girlfriend has found her way up here. "Is that Potter?"

"Evening, Malfoy!" Harry grins while looking up and throwing Draco a peace sign. The blonde can't help the bemused smile that makes it's way onto his face. Of course it would be Potter to help with something like this.

"I knew we wouldn't be able to see each other before we left tomorrow, so this is the best plan I could come up with. It's probably not the best one I've ever thought of, but so be it, I'm here and now we can be together for a moment!"

Draco smiles at the girl before him. He doesn't understand how in the world he got so lucky to be with someone like her. If you would've told him when he first came to Hogwarts that he'd end up with the bushy haired girl from Gryffindor, he would've laughed in your face. But now, here he is, completely and utterly in love with her.

"Granger, you're brilliant! If anything this is your best plan yet, love." Draco reaches over and grabs one of Hermione's hands, rubbing his fingers over her knuckles and looking at her with those big grey eyes she's come to love.

A thought pops into Hermione's head, instantly sending her heart racing. "Wait, McGonagall isn't in there is she? I would hate to get you into more trouble!" The brunette tries to look through the window, but Draco immediately shakes his head, trying to calm her nerves.

"No, she stepped out for a moment. I'm not sure when she'll be back, though. We might not have much time, I-"

"You're both fine, don't worry. McGonagall's in her office talking to Flitwick. You've probably got loads of time," Harry says, leading to Draco and Hermione to look down at him questioningly.

"And how do you know that, Potter?" Draco questions, raising a brow at Harry's supposed fact.

Without speaking a word, the boy holds up a piece of folded paper he had in his pocket. Hermione hums and smirks when she realizes what it is. "Marauder's map. You've still got that thing, Harry?"

"Of course I do, it's useful, you know that." Harry goes back to looking at the map, definitely not keeping his eye on the spot of a certain red head girl.

Turning back to the blonde, Hermione leans her head on her fist, staring at Draco with nothing but adoration. "So, tell me about your day of solitude."

Laughing, Draco settles himself on the windowsill, ready to spend every possible moment he can with the girl who stole his heart and taught him what real love is all about.

*****

"You're lying!" Hermione can't help the laugh that escapes her lips. "There's no way she made you do that!"

"Granger, I swear she did! This detention is by far the worst I've ever received."

Hermione just shakes her head at her boyfriend's words. She loves how at ease she feels with him. That sounds ridiculous considering who it is she's talking about, but it's true. Draco makes her feel a sense of comfort she's never felt before. It took a long time for them to get to this point, but she wouldn't take any of it back. She's glad after all these years they found their way to each other, found healing and love within each other. It took everyone by surprise, even them, but it's perfectly imperfect, and that's enough for them.

"I'm going to miss you so much, Draco," Hermione says, barely above a whisper. She tries to give him a smile but it's weak. Hermione never was very good with trying to hide her emotions.

"I'm going to miss you too, Hermione." Draco reaches out and cups the girl's cheeks with his palms, swiping this thumbs lightly back and forth. "We're going to figure this out, don't worry. I won't allow anyone to keep you away from me. I mean c'mon, even detention couldn't stop us from seeing each other."

The Gryffindor girl lights up at the Slytherin's words, letting out a small giggle.

"There's that smile and laugh I love so much," Draco beams, loving the way Hermione gets shy at his words. Closing the distance, the Malfoy heir connects his lips with hers, and she wastes no time in reciprocating the action.

Almost instantly Hermione finds herself lost in Draco's soft lips and warm aura. She's reaching up and dragging one hand through his hair while the other grasps onto the front of his shirt, wanting him as close as possible.

It's when Draco softly bites down on Hermione's bottom lip that she really loses it. Her thighs move to rub together, wanting to create any sort of friction, but the action is immediately halted, rapid taps on her knees breaking her from the spell that is Draco Malfoy.

"Hermione!" Harry squeaks from below and Hermione's eyes go wide as she realizes what's happening.

"Sorry, Harry!" The girl rushes out, heat rushing up her neck and face as she quickly releases the death grip her thighs have around Harry's neck.

"It's fine," the raven haired boy coughs out. After rubbing his neck as best he can to soothe the dull pain, while simultaneously holding onto Hermione and trying to keep the broom upright, he says, "I hate to break this up but either tell Rapunzel to let down his hair and have you climb up, or we've got to go. McGonagall's coming."

Hermione laughs at the boy's joke, but covers it with her hand as she turns and notices Draco's confusion and hard stare.

"What did you just call me, Scarhead?" Draco's eyebrows are furrowed and even though he and Harry have long since settled their 'rivalry', the nicknames still pop up here and there, and Draco is quick to revert back to them when feeling intimidated, as is Harry.

Before her two favorite boys can begin bickering, Hermione interjects. "It's just from a fairy tale, Draco. It's Rapunzel, have you ever heard of it?"

Malfoy shakes his head and Hermione's left surprised. She knew the Wizarding world was different than that of the Muggles, but she figured at least the fairy tales would've been prominent in both.

"Basically it's a story about a girl trapped in a tower and she has incredibly long hair that she lets down for her lover to climb in order to reach her. I'm shocked you don't know it."

Draco shakes his head and relaxes at the fact it wasn't anything too insulting. "Never heard of it."

"Basically, it's a joke, Malfoy. You should learn to take one!" Harry teases from below and Hermione gasps before lightly smacking the side of his head.

"Harry! Be nice!" Hermione starts to make her way off her friend's shoulders, slowly settling back on the broom. Harry rubs the spot on his head, but continues to chuckle as he flies the broom up a bit higher, allowing Hermione to be able to say goodbye.

"Very funny, Potter. We'll see who's the one laughing when I beat your ass in the next quidditch match," Draco smirks and Harry rolls his eyes in return.

"We'll see about that one, Malfoy"

"If you two are done trying to one up each other, I'd like to say goodbye to my boyfriend before we get caught," Hermione says, side-eyeing the both of them. Boys.

Turning back to face Draco, Hermione smiles and leans in one final time for a kiss, this time not letting it get too out of hand.

After pulling away, Draco is the first to speak. "I promise to write to you as much as possible, even if it's about something boring. I'll write about it just so you know I'm still thinking of you."

The brunette girl laughs and nods her head. "I'll love every second of reading them, I'm sure. I love you, Draco."

The blonde's usual steel grey eyes soften as they take in every inch of the girl before them. Airily, Draco replies, "I love you too, Hermione."

A moment passes between them before suddenly the door to the classroom is being opened and the Headmistress' voice can be heard.

"Mr. Malfoy, what are you doing by the window?" The couple's eyes go wide. Draco immediately steps back and Hermione lightly urges Harry to take off.

"Nothing, Headmistress," Draco says, watching as his girlfriend begins to descend back to the ground. He winks at her and then says, "Just thought I heard something."

Hermione's stomach fills with butterflies at his action, she grins and waves at him before holding on to Harry for dear life once more.

"Thank you for doing this, Harry. It really means so much to me," the witch says, lightly squeezing Harry a bit extra for a moment in appreciation.

"You're welcome, Hermione. Anything for you and your Rapunzel." The boy laughs and Hermione gasps but can't help to do the same.

"Harry!"

curious about the drarry fic 👀

(also, heard re: the hp fandom — i fall on the side of 'queer & trans transformative (heh) works can be an act of defiance' but still have also been less eager to finish my own years-old drarry wips lol)

Ok, so thank you for asking and you may regret this because I've used it as an excuse to outline lol. And I definitely feel u. I also have other fandoms I'm more into right now, so I just don't have the incentive to pick this up again.

Background:

Canon divergence re: what happens to the Malfoys at the end of the series

Going with the version where Narcissa saved Harry's life by telling Voldemort that he was dead, and then Draco saved his life by giving Harry his wand for the final battle

The Malfoys get arrested anyway due to being part of a fascist cult that killed a lot of people

Harry vouches for Draco and Narcissa, but can't and doesn't want to do much for Lucius, so Lucius goes to Azkaban

The other two get away with massive fines that take most of their family wealth

Narcissa leaves the country and goes to live with some Durmstrang colleagues in Siberia, and it's widely assumed by anyone who knows/cares that Draco went with her

Preface:

Harry, 19ish, is working as an auror (acab, what is you doin baby dot meme)

His boss is a hardass who doesn't care who he is, so he's stuck writing traffic tickets, e.g., monitoring the Floo network

Narcissa comes in, and Harry gets called to his boss' office because she asked to speak with him

She hasn't heard from Draco in months and she's exhausted every effort to find him. Owls sent to him just circle and come back.

And now she's found his wand in a box in their vault at Gringotts.

Harry of course hasn't heard from Draco, either. It's heavily implied that Draco might be dead.

Months / close to a year later:

Harry's still working as an auror

He and Ginny have broken up because she's always traveling for work (Quidditch)

Conflict arising from Ginny's argument that Harry could totally get a spot on the Quidditch team if he wanted to or just travel around with her vs. Harry's argument that he very much doesn't want to live on his fame and just wants a normal life out of the spotlight

This has made things awkward with Ron and by extension Hermione, who are now married to each other

Harry also lives in Grimmauld place to save money because the money his parents left him does not stretch as far when he has to pay for his own food and housing

People keep telling him that he should write a book. He would rather die.

Mostly, he apparates to work, apparates back, and goes to the muggle world for groceries and when he wants some fresh air

Meeting Draco:

On his weekly grocery run, Harry nearly gets into Draco's line at checkout because he's now working as a cashier at fucking Tesco

Harry, convinced that Draco must be involved in some sort of devious plot, abandons his groceries and follows Draco when he leaves work a short while later

Follows him on the tube and all the way to a big tenement block building, where Draco disappears around the side

When Harry goes after, Draco hits him in the head with a brick and takes his wand

Harry dips in and out of consciousness and wakes up on the couch in a very small but serviceable one-bedroom flat upstairs

"What are you doing here?" "What are you doing here?" "What are YOU doing here?" "What are--?"

"Ok, seriously. Why are you living in muggle London and working at fucking Tesco?"

"I don't know, because everyone in the wizarding world hates me and I probably deserve it? What else was I supposed to do?"

"How are you shielding yourself? We've tried to find you, and--"

(Next part assuming aurors have some sort of band or mark on their wands that allows them do some extra shit, so Draco knows what Harry does for a living)

"Potter, you're an auror. You know how magic is tracked. You can't find me through magic because I stopped doing it."

It's horrible, like an animal chewing through its own leg to escape a trap. But it makes sense.

Harry leaves agreeing to keep Draco's secret--he won't tell the aurors, and he'll tell Narcissa that Draco is alive and ok if she asks him again, but won't say where he is

Narcissa:

Harry does get word to Narcissa because he'd feel awful otherwise

She demands more information, but Harry won't tell her anything

"Listen. He's trying to figure out who he is and how to be a better person. Do you really think the way you and your husband raised him helped with that? Let him do this, and he'll talk to you when he's ready."

Astonishingly, this works.

The next time:

Of course, Harry can't leave it alone

I'm thinking the catalyst is something like a stilted dinner with Ron and Hermione, and he just needs to get out

Goes over to Draco's not even knowing if he's there, and runs into him on his way out

Draco's wearing skinny jeans and a mesh top. It's for a gay club. He's gay. He's so gay that you can see it from orbit, but Harry (oblivious) does not

Since Harry's there, Draco goes to change and asks how long he has before the rest of the aurors show up

Harry says it's just him and he just wanted to check up and see how he's doing

Draco starts to argue back that he doesn't need to be checked up on and he's not hurting anyone and Harry's putting him at further risk by even coming back here--

And there's a knock at the door, and they both jump

It's Draco's neighbor, a giant Scottish guy named Mick

Mick has saved his life more than once by dispensing sage wisdom such as, "ye cannae put metal in the microwave, ye daft twat"

Mick invites 'Danny' (Danny?) and his 'new friend' (wink wink, nudge nudge) over for pints and football (soccer) with him and the lads

Draco goes very pink in the face. Harry Does Not Get It

The lads are. Such lads. Very normal muggle boys with very normal muggle jobs for early twenty-somethings

At the end of it, Harry and Draco go back to Draco's flat, and Draco starts going into a whole "they're my friends and I'm not a threat to anyone" speech

Harry says he believes him and that he enjoyed the football, but it's not quite as exciting as Quidditch

They end up talking about Quidditch for another 2 hours before Harry goes home

You fucked up! You're friends now:

Harry gets Draco's work schedule, and they meet up about once a week

Usually at Draco's, but sometimes they go for lunch or something or hang out with Mick and the lads

Irony of the person who was once your worst enemy being the only one that understands you

Draco got whatever the UK version of a GED is (don't look at me I'm American) and he's taking some college courses

He's actually fascinated by history and science and literature and maths, and he's reminding Harry of Hermione in a way that would piss both of them off if he ever said as much

He gets some benefits for food and housing, but he's very closed off about how he got that or how he set up in the muggle world in the first place

Draco always wears long sleeves, which Harry doesn't think about until he walks in on him doing dishes one day and sees the scars

We get some answers (cw suicide attempt):

When Draco left his wand in his family's Gringotts vault and walked into muggle London for the first time, he did so planning to kill himself

He woke up in hospital, and spent some time there and some time in the psychiatric ward dealing with insane levels of culture shock

They thought he was a religious nut that grew up in some weird cult, which isn't too far off

Draco did have some interaction with muggles growing up...in the parish church right off his family's property where he was expressly forbidden from going, so of course he snuck over there all the time

He's read King James cover to cover and thought the God part was rubbish, but clearly Moses was a wizard and muggles are just too dumb to realize it

So, when he meets new muggles, he talks a lot about Jesus and drops Bible quotes left and right, and of course he doesn't know the first thing about technology--any technology

"What's that number mean?" "That's your blood pressure, love." "What's blood pressure?"

"What's that?" "The telly?" "How do you make the people in it move for so long?"

There's also no record of him anywhere, but he's very clearly British (and being extremely white definitely helps)

Draco does not want Narcissa to find him, so he tells them his name is Daniel because he read that in King James and it's the first thing that pops into his head, and that's how he becomes Daniel Black

They eventually come to the 'conclusion' (due to Draco being vague since he can't tell them the truth) that he grew up in a rural cult with no technology

Once he's been 'deprogrammed' and 'assimilated' to modern society, he gets moved into a halfway house, and after that, he gets a job and starts living on his own

"Ok, but," Harry says. "If you lived in a rural cult, wouldn't they expect you to know how to farm? Or care for animals?"

"Yes, but anything I didn't know, I just said was women's work."

"So, you were training to be a cult leader and someone else did all the work for you? They must have wondered why you'd ever leave."

"That's easy. I just told them I was gay."

"Oh. You really shouldn't lie about that sort of thing, but under the circumstances..." Harry says awkwardly.

"Potter," says Draco, looking at him funny because has he really not noticed? "I actually am gay."

And that's how Harry's stupid, inconvenient crush on Draco Malfoy comes back with a vengeance

The actual drarry part:

Harry can't stop thinking about it. He's acting weird. He knows he's acting weird. Draco knows he's acting weird. He cannot stop acting weird.

Draco eventually confronts him about it and Harry admits it's about Draco being gay

Draco gets super offended because for fuck's sake, it hasn't changed anything and he was gay this whole time--

Backtracking furiously, Harry says no! He's not worried about it, he's, uh. Interested?

Which Draco cannot believe at all because he was so fucking awful for their entire schooling and friendship is already more than he deserves

Still backtracking, Harry says that Draco wouldn't like him anyway...and comes out as trans

"Of course I still fancy you, don't be stupid."

"You fancy me?"

SHIT

They hook up and start dating

Suspicious activity:

Conflict time because I wouldn't leave it there

They're dating, and save for the part where Harry can't tell any of his friends, it's going good

Harry goes over once when Draco's not expecting him and finds him leaving in the middle of the night

He's wearing a long coat and hat and Harry almost doesn't recognize him

It's suspicious, so he follows

Draco goes to a bar that's still open and pays a man some money to go into a back room

Harry sneaks in and finds that Draco is using Floo powder he purchased from the man to go through a fireplace

He feels super betrayed because Draco said he wasn't using magic, and here he is, doing that and hiding something

The next time Draco goes, a few days later, Harry's ready with his own Floo powder

He uses that to spy on Draco after he goes through and finds him in a room with no windows and what look like thousands of glowing bottles on the wall

Draco is sitting at at able in the middle of the room with his head in a Pensieve, and Harry realizes that the bottles are thousands of memories

When Draco comes up, he turns to a bucket next to the table and pukes. He's crying a little, but pulls himself together and starts taking notes on a piece of paper

He looks up and finds Harry's head floating in the fireplace, and runs over and makes it back into the room in the back of the bar before Harry can escape

They have a fight, and Draco says he's sorry for keeping it a secret--it's a room connected to the Black family vault, so old that he doesn't know if anyone alive knows it's there

It's history. Hundreds, if not thousands, of years' worth of first-hand accounts in the form of memories, mostly lost

He's learning that what they were taught in school was a very sanitized and deliberately obfuscated version of history and he's started cataloging it because he thinks it's important

Harry asks why Draco didn't tell him, and Draco essentially says that he lost everything, and he might have deserved it, but--this was his, and he wanted it, and he didn't want to share it yet

But Harry's right, and Draco should have told him. Draco says that if nothing else, Harry is Sirius Black's sole inheritor and probably has as much to a right to what's in the vault as him

Kind of a weird reason, but Harry will take it

History lessons:

Draco's found out a lot of stuff already

Several poorly explained events or mysteries in wizarding history that he's solved by cross-referencing muggle history from the same era

There's a lot of grey areas between 'muggle' and 'wizard', and they used to live together and openly a lot more recently than people think

Witch hunts were not really a joke where fire got reduced to a tickling sensation with some wand magic. What really happened was that they murdered a lot of squibs, who could and did brew potions and talk to ghosts, but couldn't save themselves

House Elves were magically/genetically engineered from Goblin babies, which was only one of many atrocities committed towards Goblins

He's also working on genealogies

They talk about how to disseminate this stuff when it's done. Draco says that it wouldn't be credible coming from him, so Harry agrees to do it

At this point, it's probably the only thing actively keeping him in the wizarding world--he wants to leave, too

They argue about whether muggles should know. Harry thinks yes, and Draco has studied enough muggle and wizard history to be terrified of them ever finding out

Sure, most people are nice. Mick is nice. But all it takes is one national leader or extremist political movement to start rounding people up in camps and performing experiments

Muggles have done it. Wizards, evidently, have done it to Goblins. He does not trust anybody, and Harry grudgingly lets this go

Friends! And genealogy:

Harry gets invited over to the Weasleys' house for dinner. It's nice, but Ginny's there, so it's a little awkward

After dinner, Ginny tells him that she's retiring from Quidditch and coming back home, and it'd be nice if they could, y'know, go out sometime

Harry panics and says he's seeing someone

Word of this of course gets to Ron and Hermione, who corner him to ask about his girlfriend

He panics again and says she's a muggle so no, they can't meet her yet

Before Harry can tell Draco that they might need to be more careful, Draco does something he's never done before--show up at Grimmauld place

He's been doing genealogy, and he's found something that can't wait

It's Harry's family on his paternal grandfather's side. Second or third (or removed? Idr the difference) cousins, but still. They're his family, and they're alive, and they're living in America

Harry is overwhelmed (of course) and then basically jumps on Draco right there in his living room and they're making out on the couch

Which is when Ron and Hermione, who both basically still have an open invitation to his house, apparate into his front hall and very quickly find them like that

Ruh roh

A lot of yelling later--yes, this is Harry's 'girlfriend'; no, Draco's not dead; yes, he's living in muggle London--they sit down at the table

Ron's in shock, but Hermione's preoccupied by the genealogy chart. She looks at the chart. She looks at Draco.

"You did this? You did this how?"

They're never going to be friends. There's a potential they might be colleagues

But first, Harry has some family to meet

Distant cousins:

So, kind of going back and forth on this, because I have mixed feelings on race bending--when it's appropriate, when it's done right, when it's not, etc.

But in this case, I'm thinking it would be interesting if Harry is white passing and finds out that his paternal grandfather, who came over from America, was black, and he's just finding out now

James was light enough that his skin color isn't really obvious in those black and white photographs that are all Harry has, so he never really noticed

Harry asks Arthur and Molly (because a lot of other people who knew his parents are dead) why no one ever told him that his dad was black

They don't get it and ask why it matters

What can he say? That it matters and it doesn't, that it changes nothing and it feels like he's 11 years old and finding out he's a wizard, his identity shattered all over again?

He makes plans to go over to the United States and asks Draco to go with him for moral support

Draco spends most of the time hanging out in the background and playing with the kids while Harry talks to the older adults

(The kids seem to like him. Would he be a good dad? Harry's already having a crisis and saves that one for another day)

His American family practices magic in a way Harry's never seen before. It's a fusion of practices from the Ghana/Ivory Coast area of East Africa passed down through the generations and other practices incorporated in the past few hundred years

They also don't live separately from muggles. They live in muggle society and go to work or school, and the magic is something they learn from older relatives when they're kids. More advanced stuff gets learned in after school or summer programs rather than as a replacement for muggle schooling

The main points here are (1) the value and importance of history and continuing knowledge, and (2) a way of living as part of a magical/wizarding community that Harry didn't know was possible

It ends with him going back home, but with plans to visit again soon

Discovery:

It's a relief that Ron and Hermione know. Harry missed talking to them

Hermione starts helping Draco with his history project, which is making better progress as a result

Meanwhile, Harry's spending more time in muggle London and is thinking about some schooling so he can get a job there

He's playing a game of either football or rugby with Draco and Mick and the lads against some other guys at a park

When they win, Harry kisses Draco because they're just normal people here, and it's safe, and no one's going to see

Someone does see. It doesn't matter who, but I'm thinking some muggle-born kid that went home for the summer and was just wandering around with a wizard camera

The moving picture of them kissing makes front-page news on the Prophet, and suddenly, there's nowhere they can hide

Harry gets fired for 'withholding information on an active case', and Draco gets arrested and held for a couple of days before Harry can get him out, even though neither of them have actually done anything illegal

They flee to Grimmauld place because Draco's has been sacked and Harry locks it up tight with magic, where they try to figure out what to do next

The history project:

They have a lot of reports written up and ready to publish already

Hermione is in favor of going through with it, and Ron supports her. They need to fight back and give the vultures of public opinion something else to devour

If it were coming from anyone else, the type of shit they put out about wizarding history would probably get dismissed and buried, but their fame means it gets read and disseminated

Lucius gets out of Azkaban and nearly attacks Draco in the street for "ruining the family name" after everything else he's done

Narcissa shows up and defends Draco and wins a short-lived duel with her probably soon to be ex husband

Draco just goes, "Father. Fuck you. Mother. You're still on thin fucking ice."

Which Narcissa accepts because it took her until her son might be dead and Voldemort didn't care to realize the horror she was following, and she's grateful her son learned better before he wasted so much of his life

Harry and Draco move the history project into Grimmauld place and secure funding, and it becomes their full-time job

Epilogue:

Timeskip to an unspecified point in the future.

Grimmauld place has become an unofficial refuge for people who don't neatly fit into one world or the other

Squibs who still want to learn what magic they can, magic people who want to learn something but not give up their whole muggle life, muggle parents who want to learn more about the world their children have entered into, etc.

And. Dudley shows up. His daughter's ten, and she's been showing signs of magic, like Harry used to

(Her name is something like Heather or Daisy to go with the flower theme of Lily and Petunia)

He's so afraid of losing his daughter, of only seeing her in the summer and then having her go into a world where he can't follow

Harry says that while it should be up to her, no one is going to forcibly take her away or make her go to Hogwarts, and that he can offer some training here to help her control her abilities and learn the basics

And that's how, in addition to running a historical institute, Harry and Draco officially open a school

Draco says Harry is going to drive him insane, and Harry says he wouldn't have it any other way

The end! If you have made it this far, thank you so much, and I hope you enjoyed the ride lol. This might have someday been a fic with a six-digit word count if JKR didn't suck so much, but as it is, I've gotten something out of my head and onto (digital) paper.

#asks #harry potter cw #drarry #I probably won't ever actually write this but at least it lives here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#this got very long and I'm very sorry as I'm sure it was WAY more information than you were asking for #so please don't feel pressured to read the whole thing!

The Perfect Match

Draco Malfoy walked down the long corridor in Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. His two buddies, Crabbe and Goyle, were at his sides.

Up ahead he noticed Harry Potter and his gang of Gryffindor friends: Hermoine Granger, Ron Weasley, and the twins Fred and George Weasley. Draco smirked as he, Crabbe, and Goyle got closer and closer to the five Gryffindors.

"Taking a walk with your little pals, Potter?" Draco said when they finally came face to face in the hallway.

"Just leave us alone Malfoy," Harry said, stepping to the side. Draco stepped over and blocked him.

"Where're you headed? The Forbidden Forest again?"

"No. Now move."

"Why don't ya' make me?" At that second another Gryffindor girl with flaming red hair stepped out from behind Harry. Draco stared at her as soon as she revealed herself. Crabbe and Goyle also stared at her in amazement.

"Where'd she…how'd she…huh?"

"Shut up Crabbe," Goyle hissed at him. "That's not important right now."

"Move Malfoy," she sneered. He kept staring, then he remembered what he was supposed to do.

"Make me Weasley!"

"I have Harry Potter on my side Malfoy! I don't think you want me to make you!"

"Aw, using little Harry here for a shield. How precious!"

"Shut up Malfoy!" Harry screamed.

"Yeah! And stop being mean to my sister!" Ron yelled next.

"Your sister, Weasley, is just a little brat!" Ron instantly brought out his wand and pointed it at Draco.

"Take that back! Take it back now!" He yelled.

"What're you gonna' do with that piece of crap? Go pick up some owl poop? And you know Ginny is a brat. And you are too, Weasley."

"Hey! Don't talk like that to my brother!" Ginny yelled and brought out her wand also. Draco snickered.

"Now, now, let's not get into any trouble here. I've had my fun, I'll move. But trust me, next time we come face to face in a deserted hallway Potter, it won't be pretty." He stepped aside and let the six Gryffindors past. He watched after them and saw Ginny looking back at him. He pointed to the ground where he was standing and he saw her head nod. He nodded indicating he got her answer and smiled. He saw her lips curl into a small smile too, then her and her group walked around a corner and she was gone. Draco then turned to his buddies.

"Come Crabbe, Goyle. We have business to attend to." And the three Slytherins walked down the hallway.

Ginny sat in one of the chairs in front of the roaring fire in the Gryffindor common room. She looked up at the clock and it read 11:23pm. She looked over and saw her older brother, Ron, and Harry still up playing Wizard Chess. She sighed heavily and slumped back in the giant chair.

Finally, after what seemed like hours, the boys went up to bed, leaving Ginny alone in the common room. She looked up at the clock again and saw that it read 12:04am. She gasped and jumped out of the chair. She walked over to the stairs that led up to the boys' dormitory. To her luck, the door was unlocked at the top. She quietly turned the knob and peeked inside.

Light snoring traveled out of the now-open dormitory door. Ginny saw that there was a body in every four-poster bed. She creeped inside and made her way over to Harry's four-poster bed. She had heard so much from Ron that she knew which one was his and that he kept his father's old Invisibility Cloak underneath.

She reached her hand under the four-poster and felt around for a soft, silky surface. She finally brushed across the Cloak and she grabbed it and pulled it out. She was smiling but it instantly faded away when there was a stirring noise from Harry's four-poster bed. She ran from the room, closing the door behind her, and was glad that no one followed her.

She cautiously went back down to the Gryffindor common room. Once she was there she flung the Invisibility Cloak around herself, checking in the mirror to make sure that her whole body was out of sight. When she was sure that she was completely covered, she made her way over to the portrait hole entrance. "You're going out again?" Said the Fat Lady in the portrait. Ginny didn't answer and kept walking. She walked down many hallways until she came to the exact spot where they had met up with Draco earlier.

She was late. Draco was already standing there, foot tapping impatiently. When his foot was tapping, Ginny had learned, it meant he wasn't that happy.

"Sorry I'm so late," she said, dropping the Invisibility Cloak to the ground. Draco looked over at her surprisingly.

"Yeah, I was beginning to wonder if you were ever gonna' show," he said, smiling weakly.

"Yeah. It took forever for my brother and Harry to stop playing Wizard Chess and go to bed."

"Yeah. Crabbe and Goyle were just sitting there waiting for me to go to bed. I finally just had to tell them…actually demand them…to go to sleep. And being them they-"

"-instantly went up to the dormitory and to bed," Ginny finished for him.

"Well…yeah. How'd you know that?"

"Lucky guess." She smiled and Draco smiled back. Then she gulped nervously.

"So…um…Potions class was…interesting today," she staggered. Draco frowned.

"Oh, don't talk about school," he said. "Don't talk at all." He then grabbed Ginny's arms and pulled her in close to him. As soon as she was close enough, he laid a passionate kiss on her lips. At first, Ginny's eyes were wide and she was surprised, but then she closed her eyes and kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck. When they parted they were both smiling.

"Wow," Ginny said. "That…was amazing."

"Yeah," Draco agreed. "It…was." They smiled even wider and kissed again.

This time, when they parted, Ginny had a look of concern on her face.

"What's wrong Ginny?" Draco asked.

"We can't tell anybody about this you know," she said. "I know we meet every night and we've discussed this before but, we've never kissed before."

"I know. This is big," Draco said.

"Exactly. We have to keep this a secret. We're supposed to be mortal enemies, not kissy kissy lovebirds."

"I know, I know. My lips are sealed. And I'm assuming yours are too?"

"Of course."

"And you especially can't tell your brother or any of those other Gryffindors."

"I know. And you especially can't tell Crabbe or Goyle or any of those other Slytherins."

"Ok, case settled. Now, can we cut down on the chat and continue?" Ginny smiled and let out a sly laugh.

"Alright Malfoy," she said. Moonlight streamed in through a window as they kissed yet again. They parted again and Ginny looked up at Draco with a cocked eyebrow.

"What?" Draco said, looking at her weirdly.

"Oh nothing. But next time…" She lightly tapped Draco on the tip of his nose, escaped his grasp, and picked up the Invisibility Cloak from the ground. "…don't call me a brat." Draco's eyes widened and he blushed slightly. Ginny smiled, flung the Cloak around herself, and walked down the hallway towards the Gryffindor Tower.

THE BIG FIND: DAY FOUR

Welcome to the fourth day of our anniversary celebration!

The Big Find is a 10-day long Drarry fic-finding marathon to celebrate the blog’s first anniversary. Below is the Day 4 compilation of lost fics, both old and new, that we’ve been unable to find. Our aim is to get as much attention to these lost fics as possible, to help people finally find their missing fics! Anyone can participate by reblogging, reading through each list, providing additional fic details, and informing us the title, author, or link of a fic, and their respective number in the comment section. Happy finding!

4.1 Time travel au where Draco goes back in time before the start of 1st year. He gets into Hufflepuff with Neville and they become best friends, they have a quite affectionate friendship; always hugging. Harry kept getting jealous of their bond and stuff. I remember this one scene they’re in fourth year and fake Moody was doing unforgivables in class, Draco got angry and defended Neville and left crying. Also Harry and Ron kind of treated Draco badly at first but Neville put an end for that. It was kind of a like a slow burn for drarry. Either on A03 or LJ. (original post)

fic is not dear cousin, love regulus by xx-thedarklord-xx • the most powerful magic always by minnietex

4.2 Harry and Ginny have a twin bond. They aren’t related, it’s a magical bond and they can feel each other’s pain I think. I think Percy was dark in that one. Well I’m pretty sure ONE of her brothers tortured her. (original post)

4.3 It’s a relative short fic, Draco and Harry have been together for a while and they go to celebrate Christmas at the Burrow. Everyone has a huge pile of gifts except for Draco, I think only Bill and Fleur made the effort of getting him sth. He didn’t get a Weasley jumper because the rest of the family still hates him. When Harry proposes to Draco, they all start yelling that he made a mistake and Draco goes home crying thinking that Harry will leave him. Harry shows up later saying that he told the Weasleys off for how they treated Draco and that he chooses him over them. It was either a single chapter or two chapters at most. (original post)

4.4 Post-war and Harry sneaks out of hogwarts to safe houses I think? To help Survivors or something and he gets cursed. Some order members rescue him and he wakes up in the hospital wing. Curse works like this: in Harry’s dreams, a mysterious figure hurts him and the injuries also appear on his actual body. I’m not sure how Draco gets involved but I think he helps Harry somehow? The person who cast the Curse was Lucius Malfoy. (original post)

4.5 8th year, Nott attacks Hermione in hogsmeade and Draco throws himself in front of her and ends up in st mungos. Harry attacks Nott for that and puts him in the hospital too. I think only his friends holding him back and reminding him that Draco is the priority is the only thing that stops him from killing Nott. Narcissa is dating Kingsley and she finds out Draco is injured because he receives news about it while they are having lunch. Kingsley sends aurors to guard Nott in case he wakes up and tries to flee but Harry doesn’t trust them and keeps watch himself in case he tries to attack Draco again. Draco wakes up and someone sends a patronus to Harry and he runs back and I think kisses him in front of everyone in the room. I think Draco was mute/silent for some of the story and talks to Harry using legilimency and he uses that on Hermione when he wakes up to tell her he cares about her because he found it impossible to say it aloud. I remember Draco thinking that Hermione ranting at him for being reckless is amazing because that means she considers him a friend. It was a longer fic and on ao3. (original post)

FOUND! 4.6 It was on LJ, there was an important person who was like a wish granter or something, he definitely behaved as shopkeeper offering his wares. So Draco goes to the wish granter, and he says that he wants Harry Potter’s love. And the shop keeper says something akin that he doesn’t have that in stock, so he gives Draco a substitute. I can’t remember the names of all the things the shop keeper gave him, the one thing I can remember was that affection was one of them. At the end of the story, Harry goes to the wish granter, and he asks the wish granter for Draco Malfoy’s love, and the wish granter is like “I can’t sell to you what you already have” or something along those lines. (original post)

FOUND! 4.7 harry is dating ginny but he’s not attracted to her? she tries to ride him but he can’t get hard or something? i think i remember harry had to go to the doctor for it im not sure. But he does go to draco instead and finds draco attractive. (original post)

FOUND! 4.8 Everyone is at Hogwarts and Draco wants to get closer to Harry so he gives him a potion to lower his guard and trust Draco for short amounts of time. Draco feels so guilty he self harms himself by cutting his leg. (original post)

4.9 I can’t remember if it’s an 8th year fic or a rewrite of sorts. Draco is at hogwarts and befriends the golden trio + luna + Ginny and for some reason I have this memory that in the midst of it all they decide they want to become animagi? And that at some point they come to the conclusion that they’re avatars (for lack of a better word, I guess heirs) for the original founders of hogwarts. (original post)

4.10 George throws a life celebration for Fred at the Burrow and Draco is there. At night Draco and Harry sleep together at the Burrow and Draco wakes up in the middle of the night to Harry missing, he goes downstairs and Harry is talking with Ginny in the kitchen and Draco gets jealous. (original post)

FOUND! 4.11 I’m looking for a fic where Draco tells Harry: “the Prophet had a lot to say about certain Chosen Ones who snuck off with his best friend during the Yule Ball.” And Ginny asks Dean (this is a group convo) if he ever experimented and Dean says no. (original post)

4.12 Draco quit the aurors to become a potion master/unspeakable because the aurors treat him wrong? And there’s this scene where ron asked harry something like “so he won’t come back to the aurors then?” And hermione says something like good for him because the aurors wasted on him or something. It’s very vague, but I think ron said he used to be partners with draco too! (original post)

FOUND! 4.13 Harry and Draco are hiding during the war at Andromeda’s house? Little by little more young people start to arrive, among them several Slytherins. English is my second language, I remembered that this story had a difficult word (for me) in the title. It was some synonym for rebel or renegade. (original post)

Taylor's (Main) Hogwarts Verse: Detailed

(Creative liberties, long post ahead)

Taylor is the third child and last born daughter of Catherine Khalil and Alessio Borelli; her elder fraternal twin sisters Heather and Ruth are a good six years older than her, and she's about five minutes older than her own fraternal twin, Tyler. All four of the children are direct descendants of Isolt Sayre, the founder of Ilvemorny, through one of her own twin daughters, on Alessio's side of the family, and Alessio died of dragon pox when Taylor and Tyler were only four years old.

Being born in America, the Borellis were content to stay, allowing Heather and Ruth to attend Ilvermorny all their school years and graduate. But after Taylor and Tyler completed their first year, Catherine was offered a job by the British Ministry of Magic and the pay was good, so she packed her kids all the way to the UK and had their papers transferred before second year; the twins were with the first years in their Sorting, with Taylor going to Slytherin and Tyler going to Hufflepuff.

Taylor has vague Seer abilities in which she had visions while she's dreaming, but often cannot recall explicit details in her dreams unless there's danger approaching. So she has nightmares about big yellow eyes after the Chamber of Secrets is opened, and she reveals she's a Parselmouth the same time Harry Potter does, resulting in the school regarding the two of them with heavy suspicion. It's also how she befriends the Golden Trio and becomes outcasted by many of her Housemates. Despite being a true Slytherin descendant, Taylor is not regarded very highly by many in her House, but she doesn't care. If anything, she often beats up people who try to be bigoted around her and she always gets away with it.

Tyler is one of the Petrified victims that year, and so Taylor travels with Ron and Harry -- and Lockhart, briefly -- into the Chamber of Secrets itself in order to help control the basilisk long enough to rescue Ginny Weasley. She helps to stab the Diary with the basilisk fang, and she earns friendships across the rest of the school for her efforts.

In third year, Taylor becomes fascinated with the concept of Animagi, and she works that entire year to become one herself. During her efforts, she helps Hermione in trying to help Hagrid save Buckbeak's life, as well as trying to keep Harry safe from Sirius Black, not realizing that he's an innocent man. She also figures out quickly that Remus Lupin is a werewolf, and keeps his secret, often leaving high quality chocolate outside of his office after full moons. Before the end of the year, she succeeds in becoming an Animagus; her form is a little black fox with white spots all over her back. She reveals this when she helps the Trio try to save Sirius from the dementors, and she chased after Peter Pettigrew when he turns into a rat to try and escape them, unable to catch him, but she does manage to cause some damage before the dementors cause her to faint. No one else knows that she's an Animagus, and she remains unregistered.

Fourth year, Taylor is one of Harry's supporters after he's named a Fourth Champion in the Triwizard Tournament, even making new buttons to counteract the Potter Stinks ones. She's even Harry's date to the Yule Ball, even if she was a last resort option for him. She helps Hermione capture Rita Skeeter in the woman's beetle Animagus form, and she even keeps the jar on her during the summer, only releasing her once she's sure Rita is too traumatized to retaliate.

Fifth year, Catherine, Heather and Ruth have officially joined the Order of the Phoenix, so the Taylor and Tyler are at Grimmauld Place when Harry's brought there. They become even closer to the Weasleys, and Taylor is named the girl prefect in Slytherin House, which annoys her since she has to work with Draco Malfoy. For every time Draco abuses their position to abuse others, she willingly docks points from Slytherin in retaliation, until he knocks it off. She gets on Umbridge's nerves so much that she earns a scar on the back of her hand through those "detentions" that says I Must Not Challenge Authority. She wears the scars like a badge of honor, even joining Dumbledore's Army; the Patronus she produces during these lessons is a thestral, one of the rarest forms a Patronus can take, while Tyler's takes the form of a sparrow. She has horrendous nightmares during the year, various visions coming through, and at least three days before Arthur Weasley is attacked by Nagini, Taylor begs Ron to write to his father and ask him to not "take unnecessary risks". Due to this warning, Arthur's injuries are less severe. At the end of the year, Taylor and Tyler join Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny, and Luna to the Ministry of Magic to try and save Sirius Black, something Taylor succeeds in doing by pushing him out of the way of Bellatrix Lestrange's curse. She also chases after Harry when he chases Bellatrix and battles Tom Riddle one on one for a brief time before she's almost fatally injured and rushed to the Hospital Wing after the Battle concludes. Her feelings for Harry have started to turn romantic (she's in denial).

Sixth year, things are quieter, though Taylor's nightmares persist. Her Amortentia smells like Harry -- treacle tart, with the Quidditch pitch, fresh air, leather gloves and broom handle polish -- and she becomes quietly obsessed with wanting to know what Harry smelled, though she never asks. She also notices Draco becoming sicker over the year, and tries to corner him about what he's doing, but he always shakes her off. It's during this year that she either gets close enough to Harry that they start dating, or they become very close, but he tells her at the end of the year that he can't risk putting her in danger and doesn't want to start anything lest Riddle figure out that Harry has a more severe weakness, meaning his feelings for Taylor. When Dumbledore dies, Taylor's the only one who doesn't care because she hated the guy, and she only attends the funeral for Harry's sake. She also starts looking into Horcruxes on her own.

Seventh year, the Borellis are invited to Bill and Fleur's wedding. Taylor and Harry dance and share a kiss, before the Death Eaters attack and the guests either flee or fight back. Taylor and Tyler manage to flee before they're captured, and Catherine, Heather and Ruth are tortured for information on Harry's whereabouts. As a pureblooded family, they're not killed, especially since Catherine's from a powerful ancient family of her own back in Lebanon; it's during this year that Riddle finds out about his blood ties to the Borelli siblings, and he instructs his Death Eaters to not spill their blood, imagining that they can be brought around to "the right ideas beheld by their noble ancestor".

Tyler is the only one to return to Hogwarts for their seventh year, when attendance for all students becomes mandatory. Taylor instead flees, and she begins hunting Death Eaters on her own, wearing a cloak that covers all identifying features, and a mask covering her face. She monikers herself The Banshee, as she whistles before every attack on Death Eaters and Riddle supporters, leaving a bloodbath in her wake. She's slippery enough to not get caught, and she knows better than to contact anyone in the Order, but she reverently listens to her radio every night for Potterwatch, waiting for news on Harry and feeling relieved every time there isn't any. Heather and Ruth also flee by Christmas, as Catherine refuses to go into hiding unless she knows where Tyler is, and then the entire family goes underground. They all return for the Battle of Hogwarts, and Heather dies to protect her siblings during the fight. Thanks to Taylor killing as many enemies as possible, Riddle's forces have dwindled to less impressive numbers, and she cheats by giving as many allies as possible Felix Felicis right before the fight, so the Fallen Defenders are also dwindled; she's still devastated by Heather's death, even if they were never very close.

Taylor and Harry marry a few years after the wars' end, and they have several children. Harry becomes the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, while Taylor and Hermione Granger band together to create a magical primary school called the Magical Academy; it's to give a learning space for all magical children, including Muggleborns and halfbloods who only live in the Muggle world, being taught alongside their magical world raised peers, in order to stop the bigotry that the pureblood ideology upheld.

Some Erised Recs…

I wanted to post this yesterday but fell asleep while reviewing my blurbs lol so here’s my first 2023 reclist! Just wanted to do a lil something to celebrate these authors and artists as I did not include any Erised fics on my 2022 reclist. Hope you enjoy before the reveals, don’t forget to give these some love. You can find more lovely recs here by @thehoneybeet and here by @epitomereally

Check all Erised 2022 works!

Fic:

🍺 everything you should say by @candybarrnerd (E, 7.4k) - lush rebound fuck buddies to something else, hot and tentative, love the uncomplicated matter-of-fact tone here, sexy and refreshing!

They're not friends. But when Draco offers help, Harry takes it.

🐺 Service Bell by @shiftylinguini (E, 8k) - est relationship but make it complicated, obsessed with this nuanced pining wolf!Draco with his sharp edges and soft heart

Draco is: a werewolf, living in a cabin in the woods, minding his own business, and never going to buy plaid because he's not that much of a fucking cliche (yet). He's also counting down the days until he sees Harry again.

🎤 Meddling, Menswear, and Magic by @writcraft (M, 19k) - I’m utterly besotted with their voices, the superb level of banter oh my god. I wanna live inside this fic’s dialogue and have it for breakfast thank

Draco Malfoy is working in a job he hates and avoiding the magical world entirely, but he really is fine. When a bequest from Severus Snape brings Draco back to a much-changed magical world, he must find his place within it and navigate his growing attraction to Harry Potter in the process.

🐍 In The Company Of Serpents by @corvuscrowned (E, 25k) - an instant fave, fabulous characterization, perfect slow burn, top notch ust and some of the hottest smut I’ve read lately, so satisfying yum 🔥

There’s something wrong with the serpents at the Greengrass Ophidiarium. Luckily, a certain Parselmouth just might be able to help.

⛷️ Historians by @oknowkiss (E, 30k) - fake dating goodness with holiday vibes, the right amount of angsty pining and a gorgeous Swiss background. Just what I needed to cheer me up on a snowy day

It’s the Dumbledore’s Army Reunion Holiday, and Harry’s found himself in hot water with his friends once again, after telling them he has a boyfriend he definitely does not have. In an attempt to fix things, he’s made it his colleague on Level Nine, Draco Malfoy’s problem too. Featuring a ski chalet in Switzerland, a pair of bunk beds, and an agreement that should’ve been simple, were it not for all the bloody feelings getting in the way.

🏉 All Things Go by @sorrybutblog (E, 32k) - an enchanting 8th year romance with strong Heartstopper vibes👨‍🍳💋 our boys are so wonderfully awkward and young and lovely, my heart is melting! And the scorching UST? Superb

Draco’s back at Hogwarts by court order. Harry’s back for no particular reason at all. Some things change, some stay the same. Neither expects to spend eighth-year living in close quarters, playing rugby (poorly), staying up late, sneaking around, and finally figuring it all out.

⏳Everything is Relative to You by @thehoneybeet (E, 43k) - really brilliant take on time travel/multiverse, inventive concept exploring star-crossed lovers dynamics. It’s about the yearning!!!

Potter was supposed to have lived. Draco is certain of this. That Potter would no longer walk the earth was tantamount to the sun moving west to east across the sky. If only he could have stopped this from happening, if he’d have known… It comes to him as ideas often did: too late.

Art:

🦉Birdwatching for Beginners by dustmouth (G) - so very warm and sweet, I love the cozy vibes, the soft flirting and the ultimate Wizarding fashion as per this artist’s usual

Draco does his best to sneak out early from Ginny and Luna's Christmas party, only to be cornered by a drunk Harry Potter.

🦄 Light in the Dark by @creeeee (G) - stunning art, romantic and evocative. I love the palette and detailed outfits, want those capes in my wardrobe right now

Draco and Harry find themselves encountering more than they anticipated while performing a divine blessing within the deep thicket of the Forbidden Forest.

👔 Routinely Yours (G) by @apriicat - the softest domestic bliss we deserve, gorgeous characters (long-haired Draco!), tender intimacy, lots of cozy cuddling and boyfriending stuff

Morning routines are the best with you.

❄️ Snapshot of Moments by @drarrydoodles (E) - stunning illustrations from daily life scenes, so rich in details and full of emotion. I love how each scene comes with a short description, and the nsfw one is!!!!! 😳🔥

A snapshot of moments in Harry and Draco's relationship.

🎹 The sound of your heart by @pato-roldnart (G) - a charming and moving musicians AU, great storytelling and the prettiest boys finding inspiration together 🎵

Harry is requested to perform a musical piece for a Great Serpent, it can’t be that hard, right? What he does not expect is having to work with an annoying, distracting, good-looking Draco Malfoy.

🛌 Two Wizards, One Bed by dustmouth (G) - soft, hilarious and adorable as usual, this made me giggle the whole night! Draco’s grumpy blushing face is my fave

Harry and Draco are trapped together in a safe house. Fiery discourse ensues (intercourse, more like...)

🪢 This time, tomorrow by @bluebutter-art (M) - talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique etc etc when I tell you my heart missed a beat seeing this beauty, I’m!!!!!

Two souls, bound by fate, destined to meet again and again and again.

RAB fics I read 18-30 Dec

Harry Potter and the Prisoner(s) of Azkaban by Trex_patronus Regulus survived the cave and went to Azkaban, got cell-mated with his brother, made friends with Kingsley and now Harry has to deal with 2 escaped azkaban prisoners :D Love the Black Bros interactions, as always TRex delivers phenomenal siblings dynamics!

You, Me & Everyone Else by ygmoony Remus and Regulus become friends, somehow, and everyone somehow comes to the conclusion they must be dating :D

The Bureaucratic Error by Iniga sooo Regulus is pretty much very very dead but he gets a great angsty subplot within Sirius' journey. Anyways Remus dies in Battle of Hogwarts, runs his mouth at Death and is sent back to 1993! The only other "Remus time travels to the past" fic I've read so far was the one where he time travels to 1970s with Hermione (that one slapped too). It's Romadora, but I thought it was pretty nicely done.

Domestic Fluff (literally) by Zoya1416 cute one shot about Regulus and his girlfriend buying fabrics!

Waters Run Deep by knight_bus_of_doom ♥♥♥♥♥ They pull 19yo Regulus out of the cave, the catch? It's been like, 16 years. His (already older because of time travel) boyfriend Severus is married to his brother (for reasons) and dating his friend Remus (Reg is very okay with this). It makes more sense if you read the first part of the series, but you don't have to. But I do recommend because aaaagh my heart

Sky Full of Stars by TowardTheStars Severus/sirius modern hollywood au heavy themes of child abuse so keep an eye on warnings

The Journal of Regulus Arcturus Black by gokioh Regulus is dead. When Narcissa decides to disown Draco in order to distance him from the freshly ressurected Voldemort, Draco becomes the title of Lord Black and with it Kreacher's services - and Regulus' journal. It means Draco learns about the reality war and the Horcruxes early on and does everything he can to protect fellow Slytherins (and other students) from it.

This Is Why I Hate Mondays by AtomicMint funsies ♥

Teenagers Scare The Living Sh*t Out Of Me by LimeOfMagicLimo re-reading my own WIP so that I don't write something totally contradicting. Regulus is such a haughty little shit, boy get a therapist i beg you. also crookshanks. and ginny and tonks and aushldaush Bill/Fleur are CUTE

Kiss (While Your Lips Are Still Red) by LimeOfMagicLimo Regulus who has been sentenced to Azkaban for murdering Walburga receives a Dementor's Kiss but he Kisses the Dementor instead. To cope, teh Universe yeets him to Another Universe, where he's like... I guess... time to kill Voldemort again to keep Kreacher safe

What could have been by Phantomwriter2182 harry time travels and recruits regulus, snape and severus to hunt horcruxes with him

career goals: tyrant by justwhatialwayswanted :D :D :D I love supportive-of-their-politically-ambitious-son parents walburga and orion :D also Regulus' crush on Evan alfhlů

melodrama by moonymoment jegulus were a thing yada yada stuff happened, James survived Voldemort, pulled Regulus out of the cave and now they're about to fuck some shit up

Whatever happened to the young, young lovers? by georgia_sk *laughing maniacally* Regulus went lonely gunfighter at Voldemort's ass and then set his dead body and destroyed horcruxes on fiendfyre in front of Dumbledore. Then he made up with Barty, rescued his bestie Evan from Azkaban, started mending his relationship with his brother and developed a crush on James bloody Potter. Dumbledore is trying to be meddlesome and continue his game of chess but Regulus is not having it ♥

Let’s make the most of this by jelfulry trans single mama sirius texts wrong number (remus) and Regulus is an overprotective little brother

No Tears to Damn You by tenrousei_kuroi motherfuckerrrrrrrr this was DARK. Regulus hears rumours that Sirius is going to be expelled (because the Prank) and goes to sort it out because their parents would flip the fuck out. Turns out Dumbledore is willing to let it go... if Regulus sucks him off. Slughorn sees and continues the sexual abuse. And then Sirius finds out.

my breath rips out in rags by ScreamingFae sexy jegulus times

Drugs and surgical scrubs by anauro modern au doctor Regulus recovering addict james ♥♥♥♥♥

With Regulus' knowledge of souls and tethers they do a little push and pull act and force their way back to the land of the living. They're now forever connected by their souls in unexpected ways, but they don't mind at all.
