This is written for the song “Make It Sweet” by Old Dominion from @drarrymicrofic

Word count: 202

Drarry microfic: sweet lemonade

When Harry entered the kitchen, Draco’s head was buried into one of the cupboards above the stove. He was standing on his tiptoes, trying to look in the back of the cupboard.

“What are you doing?”

Draco jumped a little at the sound of Harry’s voice, though he didn’t turn to look at him. He continued his search for Merlin-knows-what.

“I’m looking if we still have some sugar left,” came Draco’s muffled voice from the cupboard. “It’s not looking promising, though.”

Confused, Harry raised an eyebrow. “Why do you need sugar?”

Draco pointed at a big batch of lemons standing on the counter. “Mother has sent some lemons from her home in Italy. I want to make sweet lemonade of them.”

Harry chuckled and shook his head fondly. He couldn’t deny that the thought of some fresh homemade lemonade made his mouth water.

In front of him, Draco sighed as he finally emerged from the cupboard, closing it softly. He turned to look at Harry, his long hair all dishevelled. “Could you go get some sugar from the store, please?”

With a smile growing on his face, Harry stepped closer and placed a loving kiss on his husband’s cheek. “Of course, love.”

ferret boy

Draco Malfoy x reader

A/n: this the 2nd oldest shi in my drafts I’m so done with myself rn

“Aw” you gushed over the cute white ferret you found by a tree on your walk.he was a bit jumpy a first but you calmed him down. And now that same ferret was in your arms,head on your chest. “Almost late for dinner” you mumbled to yourself as you *tried* to put the ferret down but every time you did he would get into your bag or on your shoulder.

“Fine,fine,fine I’ll take you with me” you said picking him again for The last time. You skipped to the dinner hall and sat at the Ravenclaw table instead of gryffindor to sit next to your friend Luna lovegood. “Cute ferret” she exclaimed as she put her hand down to pet the white fur. But the ferret bounced back further into your bag you heard lunas “Hmh” noise when he did.

“I know,when I was walking I saw him curled up by a tree” you said while shoving a piece of meat in your mouth “you should probably feed him to” Luna reminded you “oh!” You exclaimed as Luna giggled you reached to pull out the ferret when it climbed up you arm and on to the table. A couple people gasped others stared but gryffindor table started laughing and giggling while slytherin gasped a glared.Then the ferret took a piece of food from you plate and went back into your bag

Later that night as you were getting dressed the ferret seemed to have a starring problem when you took off your bra but it was an animal right? You just pushed it off the bed slightly so he would be facing the wall.laying down the ferret was on your stomach facing you curled up into a ball. “Aw..I need to find a name for you” you sat up knees slightly nudge him pushing him slightly.the. You hear him making him open his tiny grey eyes.

“Hm,you remind me of draco” you giggle out “but way nicer,but definitely way cuter then he already is” you gushed,then layed down. You felt the ferret squeeze it’s way into your arms as you slightly giggled from the feeling ‘night’

When you woke up you saw hair. It was the color of the ferret. “What the fuck” you pushed the figure out of your bed trying to wake up your roommate. She wasn’t even there,she was in the bathroom showering she probably didn’t even hear you. “Draco?!” You sat up looking at undressed boy on the floor “shit” you heard as he mumbled it to himself “uhm..”he was clearly loss for words you sighed then got up to your dresser and pulled out some boy clothes from your brother. “It might be to big” “it’s fine” he said as he stood up you where hoping he didn’t remember anything.. he stared at you while you were changing he would tell so many peo- “I’m sorry. I could make it up to you by taking you to hogsmeade?” He said with a mini smirk on his face

“Fine ferret boy” you sighed. But it was the start of something beautiful

Im do done with myself rn it’s to late for this😭I wish I got better

The Sacred Twenty-Eight

The Sacred Twenty-Eight are a group of elite pureblood families. They are the epitome of high society and act accordingly. Balls, gatherings, lavish clothing, expensive jewelry, castles, and manors. You name it, they have it. They're the textbook definition of pureblood Slytherins, exactly how J K Rowling imagined them. They're diehard Slytherins through and through and, most, are loyal to the Dark Lord (many of them bearing the Dark Mark to prove it).

They're definitely more of a dark academia, old-money aesthetic, so they have the newest and sharpest clothing. They all wear fancy jewelry and have perfect makeup. All of the children learn networking at an early age where they're forced to attend balls and meetings by their parents who expect the best behavior out of all of them.

Most of the children from these families are extremely loyal to their family as it's something that's instilled in them from a very young age. And, at Hogwarts, they act exactly as their parents do, expecting royalty treatment from everyone and attempting to keep everyone into submission. The Slytherin's bad reputation derives from them.

you fools. you blubbering baffoons. you naivetés. you boast about your 'orbs' and your 'sold off to 1D' memories from back in the days on the hellscape that was Wattpad. Whereas I had been there back when smuts were referred to as lemons. Witnessing titles such as "Harry Potter x Draco Malfoy lemon" was but an average day in the fields for me

Been lately on a Harry Potter fanfic binge, can't stop it only add to it, anyway

Hermione gets sorted into Slytherin, Draco into Hufflepuff

Chaos ensues when both are completely done with their (not for long) houses and as such join forces (with great effort and lots of mutual disdain) to get a resorting. (Of course for various reasons, Draco not fancying possible disownment - the faint memory of whispers about previous cases in his family giving him shudders - while Hermione got the memo immediately, mugglborn really not welcome, halfbloods already seeming to struggle, got it on the first day, hard not to see shit thrown into your face, got enough experience as a black person back in primary school). Anyway. Lots of bargaining, grumbling, school start and break downs (more on Draco's side, tis little drama queen and not writing letters - he ain't that crazy to break news to his parents cough father cough before resorting -, Hermione taking on a more seething cold rage befitting an scorned 11 year old)

Somehow this translates into near herculean effort put into academics making them the best of the best for the year (well half year, the resorting a work in progress) since veeeery long ("Ya sure they shouldn't have been sorted into ravenclaw" cue in dirty look from Draco). Also as last ditch attempt they try to poison the hat (charms don't work on hat) to get him manipulated enough for him to resort them into their proper houses (ravenclaw and slytherin) so later they can feign ignorance about how the hat must have made a mistake

Bonus: Draco murderous lil badger/duckling/snakeling on quidditch field with Cedric trying for head ruffles

Hermione working through her anger in being put in this shithole without options of transfer getting into very (passive) aggressive intellectual trade offs over boiling cauldron with Professor (mutters incompetent, can't get her resort out of racist snake pit) Snape

(surprisingly no bashing, everyone alive for more chaos, but fear not, Snape despairing and close to heart attack over Hermione's poison attempts on hat, Lily cackling over her besties karma "Hey, you were the one grumbling over the lack of promising students, see now you have one very bright Slytherin to teach")

Help me a find a Drarry fanfiction Please !! (tw: Rape/Viol)

Hey, I'm posting this to try to find the title of an old Drarry fanfic I read in college. I only have a few memories but I'll try to do my best to describe the fic to you.

In this one, there is a protection story (like some people, as soon as they are born, they become protectors and have to protect a particular person). And in this one, Draco is a protector and has to protect Harry, but Harry doesn't know it. That's the whole idea.

Then unfortunately, at the beginning of the fic', Harry is raped by all his "friends" (there is Ron, Seamus,… Neville too but he doesn't participate in Harry's rape but he observes without doing anything). Before being left for dead. Draco feels that something is wrong and goes to save him after having warned his father and Severus (because they are also protectors and are nice in this story). They save him and take him to a remote manor (in another country, I think. It's a very protected manor) to heal him and to keep him safe. When Harry wakes up, the three men reveal all this protection/protector stuff to him. Then Harry and Draco end up getting closer little by little.

That's it, that's the most I can explain! Thanks to tell me if this fanfiction tells you something! Love you !

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Hey, je poste ce billet pour essayer de retrouver le titre d'une vielle fanfiction Drarry que j'ai lue au collège. J'ai juste quelques souvenirs assez mais je vais essayer de faire de mon mieux pour vous décrire la fic'.

Dans celle-ci, il y a une histoire de protection ( genre certaines personnes, dès qu'elles naissent, elles deviennent des protecteurs et doivent protéger une personne en particulier.) Et là, c'est Drago qui est un protecteur et doit protéger Harry, mais ce dernier le sait pas. Voilà l'idée global.

Puis malheureusement, au début de la fic', Harry ce fait violé par tous ses "amis" ( il y a Ron, Seamus,... Neville aussi mais lui, il ne participe pas au viol d'Harry mais il observe sans rien faire.) Avant ce faire abandonner pour mort. Draco ressent que quelques chose ne va pas et part le sauver après avoir prévenu son per et Severus ( car eux deux sont aussi des protecteur et sont gentils dans cette fic'). Ils le sauve puis l'amène dans un manoir éloigner de tout (carrément dans un autre pays, je crois. C'est un manoir hyper protéger.) pour le soigner et pour qu'il soit en sécurité. Au réveil d'Harry, les trois hommes lui révèle tout cette histoire de protection/protecteur. Puis Harry et Draco finissent par ce rapprocher petit à petit.

Voila, c'est le maximum que je puissent expliquer! Merci de me dire si cette vous dit quelque chose! Bisou à vous !

Love me again in Paris

Angst dialogue prompt no. 5- "I don't want to see you hurt." "But you hurt me." // Angst // hurt/comfort//

I saw the love that was found in the heart shaped hand gestures or the dried rose in between a book or the sunflower turning to face the sun or a kid loving it's bike or the love between birds sitting on a pole. I saw all that love that glowed even the darkest of the days including the love all my friends found, but I was so stupid to think that love for me could be so simply last like a dried up rose between a book. I should have known better than to keep my heart out on the line and see my heart getting crushed. I should have known better before I surrendered my heart to you. I was such a fool to wish upon love but no matter how much I might hate loving right now, I can’t bring myself to regret falling in love with you. I saw your love in the ways you used to get out pictures printed for an empty frame and hang it above in the living room, or the way you had a photo of me on your work table, I saw the way you showed your love in the way you used to show me all your personal recipes even though we only 1 hour to spend together, or the way I was your screensaver on your computer screen. I saw your love in the ways you used to change our bed sheets without me even asking you to or the way you used to ready our bicycles on a random Saturday morning just so we could spend some time together in that serene times. I saw your love in the ways you used to give me your favourite t-shirt or in the ways you used to lend me your favourite ring even though you were very possessive of it. I saw your love in the ways that you used to annotate sentences in the book that used to remind you of us but forget to show me or the way you used to lean all across table just to kiss me. I saw your love in the ways that you used to write me love letters and send it to me randomly during work or the ways you used to call me up randomly at work and say that you missed me. I saw your love in the ways that you always had an extra orange juice bottle in your fridge for me even though you hated orange juice or the ways you had my box of cereals at your place just for the mornings where I stayed over. I saw your love in the way you used to say things and in the ways you used to make me feel special but I was a fool to believe we’d last, not because I would have given up on you but because my fate is written with the end of all the most beautiful things in the world and you were the most beautiful of them all. I don’t regret loving you though, I’d had fought for you till my limbs would’ve given up but I did and that perhaps is my greatest regret. My regret is not loving you, oh it was a mistake, loving you was a mistake but not a regret. A beautiful mistake it was loving you because I became a fool in love but never a regret because it was you.

But I hope in whatever godforsaken time we get together, again, that time we last. I hope then that we don’t say sentences like “I don’t want to see you hurt,” “But you hurt me.” I hope whenever the time is right and we cross paths again, I’m brave enough to love you again and not given up on you like I have today. I hope that whenever we cross paths again, we runaway to Paris and stay there for a week and let ourselves fall madly in love with each other that by the time we come back, we end up together, forever. I hope that whenever we do get together again, we sing and dance to all our favourite songs in the middle of the rain and fulfill our fantasies. I hope in whatever times we get back together again, we work that time and I start to believe in love once again, that in whatever times we get back together, we re-write our own book together and show it to the whole world.

Tagging a few people for boost, you can ignore if you like <3 (don't hesitate to tell me if it's a bother)

our old dead grass was never much but we've made the most welcome home- radical face

Dead Old Grass- Chapter One

When She Knew

Hermione Granger could not remember when she stopped seeing Draco Malfoy as a foul little cockroach who only enjoyed making her life a misery. She could not remember when she started taking note of when Gryffindor was playing against Slytherin during quidditch and started watching him during the games instead of Harry and Ron. She could not remember when she started calling him Draco and not Malfoy. She could not remember when she began defending Slytherins because they can not help what house they are sorted into, nor can they help who they are related to, and so are associated with some people with horrid reputations. She could not remember when she began seeking out Theo and Draco and Pansy and Blaise in crowds. She could not remember when she started liking Draco Malfoy.

It was in class when Hermione came to the horrifying realisation her feelings toward Malfoy had shifted. Slughorn had started a lesson on Amortentia. A love potion, he described, as incapable of creating true love, but only an extreme obsession or infatuation. But, if you smelled the potion, it would smell like the person you most desire.

For the longest time, it was assumed Hermione would likely end up with Ron. The two best friends of the Boy Who Lived. And Hermione surely was not about to date Harry. He was like a brother to her. Although, Ron was different. He never felt like a brother, and she had a crush on him when they were younger. He, however, lacked any emotional intelligence and was incapable of understanding her feelings when she was upset. Especially so when they had first met, but he had gotten slightly better. Possibly thanks to Ginny and Mrs. Weasley. Possibly thanks to all the nagging by Hermione. She grew comfortable around him and the idea of him. She knew she wanted to be with Ron and Harry until they were old and watching cars and trees grow on their porch. So rationally, she assumed her feelings toward Ron were consistent with a crush. Up until Slughorn’s class.

No, instead of thinking of Ronald Weasley with the notes of parchment and mowed grass, Hermione thought of Draco Malfoy. She thought of sneaking glances at him while in his practice uniform. The spilled ink on tables in the library. The sweets he would get from the owls at the dining tables. Late nights where she would catch him glaring at her in the library and wanting to change how he felt. She thought of his face and how tired he looked as of late. She thought of his arm. And it was in that class she knew she was fucked.

This is written for the prompt ‘pale’ from @drarrymicrofic

Word count: 89

Drarry microfic: pale and lifeless

Cw: main character death

Harry’s once warm, tan skin had now a sickeningly pale undertone. Though his hair was still a mess his face, which used to show so many emotions, was now slack and lifeless.

Tears ran down Draco’s cheeks, a sob wrecking through his body. He took one cold hand into his own, squeezing it and hoping it would squeeze back like it used to.

They’d had a long and happy life together. Eventually one of them would leave. It was inevitable.

“I will meet you again very soon, my love.”

Prompt from July 26th

Happy "polar express super happy magical fun time" anniversary to the greatest non-canon and best roleplay canon couple ever. Lily Luna & Draco. Thirteen years ago, a time-turner 'accident' brought 7th year Draco Malfoy to a post-Voldemort world where a fifteen year old Lily Luna took him under her wing and created the best and most tragic ship ever. Which led to her ultimately sacrificing her entire world for a vampire!Draco and the greatest AU love story ever. (I miss those days! Roleplay for hours and some of the greatest headcanon ever created.)

I might re-upload the old chats (none of them make sense but they are GLORIOUS) to the old NutsyBolts RP livejournal from back in the day. But either way, I'm putting on The Polar Express, making hot cocoa and popcorn, and dreaming of the utter perfection that is/was/will forever be teen!Draco & Lily Luna.

do you think james bullied snape because he was poor? do you think it had anything to do with classism?

Nope, I don't think so. When I first heard this version, I was really surprised. I think it comes from fanfiction? Some authors use the detail that if a child is rich, they will always bully the poor. That's not true.

We don't see any evidence that in the relationship between James+Sirius (why do they always forget about Sirius? He was very harsh verbally towards Snape and did it without much reason in his head) and Snape, there's anything related to Snape's poverty.

Here are a few reasons:

1. Sirius doesn't like the trappings of his family's wealth; he despises it. He's intentionally shown as the complete opposite of Lucius Malfoy (even their appearance, black and white, the most rebellious of purebloods and the most sycophantic, the one who values wealth and money and the one who despises it). Do you think he would love and be friends with someone who bullies others because of... money?! No way. It's actually pretty demeaning for the person themselves to brag about how much money they have. Considering how proud Sirius is, I doubt their bullying had anything to do with Snape's poverty.

And I think this Sirius's pride is partly seeded by his family. Because…

2. I think the Malfoys narratively were a bit the opposite of the Blacks in general. Their moneyed arrogance and bullying from Lucius and Draco - that's a pretty specific case, very similar to how some people think their money solves everything and defines who they are. The Malfoys are raised like that —they believe just having money makes them better than others. If we're talking about the old style upper class —it's not about thinking money makes you better, it's about how you're raised, what family you're born into, how you live, how you grow up – that's what makes you upper class, not your money. For wizards – their blood purity and loyalty to pureblood ideals. They might not even have much money, but they'd still be proud. Meanwhile, you might become rich, but you'll never become upper class. And it's pretty odd for this "class" to bully others based on money. The way the Malfoys do it is pretty crude and demeaning for themselves. In canon, it's well shown that the Malfoys are fixated on money. Whereas the Blacks aren't about money, but about their status. For the Blacks, it's all about status and primarily about blood purity. The Malfoys marry half-bloods, while the Blacks disown their children for wrong marriages.

3. I don't think wizards really have classes based on wealth.

(Also it’s pretty obvious but just in case, wizards don't have aristocracy in the traditional sense. After the introduction of the Statute of Secrecy, wizards don't have titles. Titles are purely a Muggle construct. Before the Statute, they existed, we know the Malfoys came with the Normans and were given lands. We know about the Bloody Baron. But there's no indication in canon of these aristocratic arrangements among wizards after the Statute (which, by its nature, implies service). The only lord among wizards was Voldemort. Because he called himself a lord. The fact that wizards deliberately don't use titles, even though the Malfoys had it, speaks only to one thing — the very idea of calling yourself by such titles is abhorrent to pure-blood wizards. It's a connection to Muggles and Muggle royalty. And being an aristocrat isn't just a privilege, it's also a duty.)

I think their upper class is pure-blood wizards. Their nobility is blood nobility. Their nobility was based on blood purity and loyalty to blood purity. They have a book called "Nature's Nobility: A Wizarding Genealogy." So all their nobility — it's natural, inborn, blood, or rather pure-blood. But it's nowhere regulated, except in the minds of those pure-bloods. Their society is inequality in minds, where some consider themselves better than others.

Your mother was Muggle-born, of course. Couldn’t believe it when I found out. Thought she must have been pure-blood, she was so good.” (Professor Slughorn)

Even "not-biased" Slughorn was biased against muggleborns

They take a very harsh stance against "blood traitors". And true blood purists are much more tolerant of poverty if it's truly loyal to pureblood ideals (even families like the Gaunts). Blood is more important than money. The Black family tree has many marriages to different families, but not all of them are wealthy; it's impossible in their small society. I think, given how small wizarding society is, only three families were truly wealthy — the Blacks, the Malfoys, and the Lestranges. And I believe the Malfoys mostly gained their wealth from dealing with Muggles. Pure blood and being on the "Sacred 28" list doesn't make a family rich. Why if someone's in Slytherin, they're rich? Where did this wealth come from? In the Muggle world, this is understandable (but that's not always true either). But in the wizarding world? So it's a pretty weird trope that all Slytherins and pure-bloods are rich.

Wealth itself also doesn't make someone a member of the "upper class" in the wizarding world. No matter how wealthy you are, if you're a blood traitor or Muggle-born, then this pure-blood upper class won't accept you into their society.

Therefore, I believe bullying Snape had nothing to do with Snape being poor and classism.

There aren't that many rich people in the wizarding world.

Not everyone in Slytherin was wealthy. Their "upper class" is not related to wealth.

Sirius certainly didn't show any interest in wealth or judging people based on their money. The Blacks probably thought their blood was more important than any money.

James didn't show that either. Remus and Peter probably weren't rich, and they all got along fine.

All we know about James and his attitude towards money is this:

James was amused by Vernon, and made the mistake of showing it. Vernon tried to patronise James, asking what car he drove. James described his racing broom. Vernon supposed out loud that wizards had to live on unemployment benefit. James explained about Gringotts, and the fortune his parents had saved there, in solid gold. Vernon could not tell whether he was being made fun of or not, and grew angry.

I don't see anything here that suggests James was intentionally trying to flaunt his wealth. It was a response to Vernon's assumption that they live on benefits. That wasn’t bullying. Sirius would hardly have said so, but James obviously didn't think talking about money was something embarrassing. But it's not bullying.
