That bit of Deathly Hallows where Draco is missing and Voldemort immediately assumes he ran off to befriend Harry and when Lucius tries to insist Draco wouldn't do that Voldemort's just basically like "lol ok u tell yourself that buddy but I'm not buying it" just absolutely sends me.

Voldemort was really out there in canon like 'i don't believe in love except for whatever it is that harry potter and draco malfoy have going on because wow. even i can't deny that.'

Like look at this. this is wild. And the best part is HE'S RIGHT. Draco did in fact run off to find Harry Potter. And then becomes absolutely hysterical and completely loses his composure when faced with the fact that Harry might get hurt.

The reason why Draco bully him.

Hey! Stop bullying him!😡

This post reminded me of Snape and the Marauders bullying:

1. Their age was not an excuse for what they did (and really it wasn't just 'ordinary' bullying either, they pulled some genuinely fucked up shit)

2. There is no real proof that James ever changed (in fact we see in canon that Sirius never did and even Remus still downplays what happened)

3. Severus NEVER got an apology from any of them. He had life long trauma and as grown adults they still couldn't even fully admit that they did anything wrong.

And now these are my personal morals that you are free to disagree with and also just kind of a rant, but while I never would defend some of the things Snape said to students as a professor because yes, he was a bully aswell, I still don't think it's as bad as what was done to him. Snape was a mean teacher, much like ones I had myself as a student. But the 'bullying' he experienced included sexual harassment and attempted murder. I just can't find it in me to forgive characters for those actions, even if they were 'only' teens, because to me those are inexcusable at any age. And yes, to me, a teen pulling those 'pranks' is worse than a grown adult making mean comments to children. I have long since gotten over all those awful teachers I had. But what happened to Snape is not something you just get over.

Harry when Quirrel dies due to his actions: lmao sucks to be him

Harry when he forced Lockhart to go first into the Chamber of Secrets: should've made better life choices earlier and not tried to attack me and ron. close your eyes and hope the basilisk isn't hungry I guess

Harry when Death Eaters get killed or maimed due to his actions: sad it had to be this way but oh well

Harry when Umbridge gets carried off by centaurs: lol bye get wrekt

Harry when Draco is in danger or hurt: *crying, shaking throwing up.* THIS IS NOT FINE!!!!!

can u imagine if harry had been sorted into slytherin

6th year would've been insane

Draco: *gets up in the night for a drink of water*

Harry: oh. fancy meeting you here by the water jug at 2 o'clock in the morning. :)

Draco would've cracked after a month and been like 'FINE. FINE! Want to see my Dark Mark? HERE! Happy? Can I take a shower by myself in peace now?'

Blaise is hostile to Harry when they have the Slug Club lunch in the beginning of book 6 but he doesn't make Harry the center of his whole life or seek him out to pop up wherever he goes.

Draco on the other hand does do these things. He seems to feel a lot more for Harry than you would expect if this were a simple rivalry or dislike...

This parallels Draco and Harry's first confrontation on the train.

I bet James came to find Lilly’s compartment every year too.

my partner doesn’t use pet names nearly as much as i do, which is very funny because i will crack my gay little knuckles and say some shit like “good morning my sun and moon, my loveliest boy, my baby my sweetheart my darling dearest” and he will reply “hello adrian”

Harry: Let’s play rock paper scissors

Draco: Alright, but if we do the same attack then we have to kiss passionately on the lips

Harry:

Draco: Scared Pottah-

Harry: I’m choosing rock every time-

Draco: Yeah, me too

Road trip

“I can’t believe Pansy and Weaslette decided to get married on the other side of the world and now I’m stuck in this rust bucket with you.” Draco groused fiddling with the aux cable.

“It’s just France and you didn’t have to come with me, you could’ve taken a flight… Oh wait, that’s right, you’re afraid of flying!” Harry teased as Draco swatted his shoulder.

He winked at Draco who flushed and turned to stare out the window.

For the @drarrymicrofic prompt Road trip

just realized that when fred and george said "we're identical" after polyjuicing into harry in the beginning of the deathly hallows it was the last time they were

bc right after that george's gets his ear blown off

Harry shares only one class with Draco in book 1 but he knows all about the exaggerated stories Draco apparently frequently tells about his broomstick exploits.

Bet Draco probably told them loudly for Harry to hear. Bet as soon as Harry walks into a room he starts showing off.

And Harry's apparently paying attention bc he remembers the stories. And also knows what kind of owl Draco has and what it brings him from home. Even though they sit on opposite ends of the hall.

Haters will say that Snape is the worst person in the world for being bitchy to his class…And then say that Petunia Dursley wasn’t a bad person because she did love her sister.

……???????????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

So, one line of dialogue about how she’s sad her sister died makes up for abusing, starving and imprisoning a child?????? Keeping a child locked in a cupboard? Feeding a child scraps through a cat flap?!?!??!?!?

But Severus surviving years of abuse, being groomed by a cult, turning on said cult, protecting the children from Death Eaters and fighting for the light because of love, that means nothing to them because he *checks notes* “was a snarky meanie”.

remember the bit in book 1 when harry goes into a wizarding bookstore for the first time and immediately starts trying to find out how to curse dudley?

1) i love him 2) sorry not sorry but the Sorting Hat was right; he really was supposed to be in Slytherin lol

Draco: Harry Potter saw me crying. This is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me. I want to die!

*30 seconds later*

Draco: I take it back! I take it back!

Harry when bad things happen to Death Eaters who are chasing him: unfortunate but they brought it on themselves

Harry when there are casualties during the Gringotts break in: I wish it didn't have to be this way but the mission comes first

Harry when Draco is in danger: HORCRUX WHOM?? THIS IS A RESCUE MISSION NOW.
