#but then when everything fell apart you hadn't even thought about harry potter for a good while and that fan stuff wasn't in your head

it’s not actually that weird that people are saying “harry potter was never good, actually” after joanne went full mask off, and no it doesn’t mean that we all secretly think harry potter is amazing but don’t want to admit it. it’s pretty simple actually: most people read harry potter when they were children, when they hadn’t read a lot of other books and therefore didn’t have a lot to compare it to. then every time you reread it as an adult, you’re looking through pretty hefty nostalgia goggles. then, after you’ve realized that joanne is a violent bigot that wants you and / or people you love and care for dead, those goggles are broken and when you attempt to look at hp again you’re more likely to see it’s flaws. it’s not rocket science.

your first night together, do hanse edition
summary: just as the tittle claims, this is how the first night sleeping together with him would be like.
g: fluff, smut. requested!
warnings/side notes: gender neutral reader x hanse. established relationship. handjob, no proper lubrication, cum eating. the nsfw part is under the cut. i've received requests for all of the members in this specific scenario, and I'm actually excited to write them all. for now, i hope y'all enjoy this. ><
Tumblr media
your relationship with him wasn't new, in fact you had been a couple for almost a year, but with his chaotic schedule and your own busy life, it was almost impossible for you two to spend time together outside form his studio and the sporadic coffee or tattoo dates.
that time was one of the very few occasions in which you were both free on the same day and so you offered to watch a movie at your place in hopes of helping him to leave behind his stressful week
of course he had been in your apartment before, not as often as you in his dorm but it wasn't an unfamiliar place for him.
soon enough you were both snuggled on your couch, popcorn on your covered lap and his arms securely attached around your frame.
recently he had been particularly excited about this harry potter movie, and even when you knew it was a bad idea (because you always end bickering and debating about which character is better), you didn't regretted your decision of bring it up one bit.
his hands on your waist holding you close to his body and your intertwined legs under the blanket as the movie unfolded in front of you were a bit too much of your liking, you didn't even complained when he argued about slytherin being the best house.
laughs, gasps and scattered kisses were shared for about three hours. it wouldn't ever stop surprising you but it was amazing how he could watch the movie for the nth time and still be amazed by everything.
after it was over he reached for his phone, and the bright screen made you both cringe in your place since the rest of the lights were off and it hurt your eyes momentarily.
hanse looked at you with pensive eyes at seeing the late hour, wondering how on earth would he get home.
you hesitated for a bit, but then
"you can sleep here, you know?"
he bit his lip, deep in thought because he didn't wanted you to feel forced to invite him or anything but he as well didn't want the boys on his back with questions and complains if he appeared in the middle of the night.
"are you sure? i can always call our manager"
"and having seungwoo scolding me on the phone first thing in the morning? no thanks"
you tried to joke to hide your nervousness, hoping he could get the hint and realize that your offering was sincere
he finally nodded, and you both got up
after tidying up and turning off the tv you headed to your room and he followed, suddenly quiet but happy on the inside because it was the very first time you would sleep together
despite the ease with which you moved around each other, it felt like a big step for him
you shyly handed him a large pair of shorts and a purple shirt and he chuckled, thanking your habit of buying oversized clothes that often were a bit too big for you
you entered the bathroom and after washing your face and changing into something more appropriate for sleeping you went out
hanse was laying on your bed, scrolling through his sns feed when you jumped on the bed and hugged him from behind, head on his shoulder blades
you stayed there for a few minutes, trying to ease your mind and calm your racing heart
despite of being in a relationship with him for quite some time now, he hadn't seen your bare face before so you were kinda nervous, not knowing what to expect or how would he react
your boyfriend was the type of boyfriend to remind you all the time how much of a beautiful person he thinks you are, speaking of both your looks and your soul so it wasn't really an insecurity of yours. however, the bubbly feeling on your stomach persisted
by the time he tried to roll on his back to hug your body, you held onto him tighter and mewled against the soft fabric of the shirt
"what is it, baby?"
"I'm not wearing any makeup"
you cringed at how high pitched your voice sounded, and he chuckled before untangling your arms from his waist and sitting on the bed with his back on the headboard
he attracted you to his lap and even when you tried to snuggle on the crook of his neck, he held your chin with the hand that wasn't busy on your hip and stared at your face
"i can tell"
you mouth fell agape, though you weren't offended. yes, he had a smirk plastered on his handsome face, but he was gazing at you in the most loving way, eyeing back and forth from your eyes to your lips, and his touch on you was just as tender as ever
you smacked playfully his shoulder and he broke into a fit of giggles
you were happy and you could tell by the way he couldn't stop smiling that he was happy too
his thumbs caressed your hip bones, and your hands gently stroked his short, black hair. it was a matter of time before he leaned on to peck on your lips, humming at your warmth
"let's go to sleep, you look tired"
he nodded at your words and dragged you with him until you were both under the covers and your head rested on his arm as a pillow
he insisted on being the big spoon, so you let him, easily falling asleep with his other arm around your torso and a goodnight kiss on top of your head.
alternative ending here.
let's say that when you told him "let's go to sleep, you look tired" he nodded, but instead of actually going to sleep he kissed you one more time
he bit on your bottom lip and your lips parted, giving him access to play with your tongues and deepen the kiss
you melted, sharply inhaling when he squeezed your thighs and ass, and just as your own hands reached his shoulders for support, you could feel the tension still latched on his body
it was true that after the wonderful evening you spent together he was far more relaxed than he would like to admit, but he still felt heaviness on his back. you understood his silent plead, and smiled against his lips
kiss after kiss, you tried to massage his shoulders to help him relax, loosing momentarily your balance though he was there to stabilize you
his lips lingered over yours for a few seconds, a choked gasp escaped his throat when you accidentally grinded on his clothed crotch and you murmured a soft "sorry"
you placed yourself on his thighs instead of his hips, playing with the hem his shorts and waited for him to nod before sliding them down his legs and throwing them aside along with his underwear
soothing caresses landed on his soft skin until your fingers finally wrapped themselves around his shaft and he threw his head back. your thumb rubbed his tip before stroking him, slow and gentle in order not to hurt him
you felt him grow hard in your hand with each minute that passed and as your wrist made all the job controlling the speed, your other hand collected the precum that started to spill
because of the position it wasn't possible, but you could see in his expression just how much he wanted to thrust into your hand and you chuckled, taking advantage of his sensitiveness to pump him faster
he was a mess, whimpering and growling under his breath. knowing of how much he loved when you complimented him, you kissed his lips without stopping your hand
"look at you, you look so pretty this way"
he whined, furrowing his eyebrows when your pace haltered before picking up again and adding pressure around the base with your other hand
he wasn't going to last much longer, and as you felt him on the edge, you lowered yourself to face his crotch with and idea to prevent making a mess on your bed
he moaned loudly, eyes shooting open in half of a second when he felt your lips and warm mouth around his length
your tongue around his head was sloppy because you didn't want to tease him too much, just enough to push his limit and make him cum
you sucked, hollowing your cheeks and not long after he came undone on your mouth
length twitching and heavy pants were all you could hear and see when spurts of white filled your mouth
his fucked out expression made you chuckle, and he tried to playfully glare at you through his heavy eyelids but you couldn't care less, standing up to help him dress up again
you rolled on the bed, giggling when his arms engulfed your figure and attracted you to his chest
"are you okay, love?"
you nodded, turning around to face him with a bright smile on your lips
"yeah, why?"
"you know, it was your turn"
"it's okay, we'll see tomorrow"
"but-"
you knew he wanted to return the favor, but you also knew how tired he was so you dismissed his complaints and kissed his jaw, hugging him back
"goodnight, baby"

Tomura Shigaraki x Oc Insert!
Warning ⚠️: Angst, gore, slight mention of sex. Enjoy! :)
Tumblr media
"If it makes you happy. Then I won't fight it."
It was ominous. The surrealness of it all. How she peered towards the chaos that once was a great city filled with people, villains and heroes alike. Now up in Smoke. The smell of blood filled her nose as she scrunched her face in disgust. The sounds of distant screams and people grieving rung through her ears like an air raid siren. Deafening.
Her Hazel eyes scanned the surrounding landscape. Seeing a mother and her child attempt to flee the area, before Toga came down on them. Killing the mother and child. Her manic laughter almost made Selim smile. But deep down her heart felt more sadness. Her eyes weren't filled with the excitement when the plan was set in motion. Her face fell into that of one whose already lost a battle within oneself. And sorrow soon filled her being.
This isn't what she thought she wanted.
She watched on rubble as she observed Togas glee filled dance as she consumed the blood of her victims, saving some for later. If only Selim knew that later will never come, for she saw in the midst of the chaos, a shadow lingering in the smoke from a crumbling building appeared.
Clad in black, the lanky male she had found herself smitten and so in love with appeared, regardless of what dread she felt, in the moment her heart fluttered like that of a school girl seeing her crush.
But this man was no crush. But Her lover. It had been 4 years since she had left her old life behind, since she left U.A. and joined the League. 4 years of mistrust, anger, finding oneself to make adifference in the world. Leaving her family home, if her mother hadn't gone from this world, then maybe Selim would've had a different outlook on life.
Maybe even continue on to becoming a hero her mother desperately wanted, for father was never the Hero they needed.
Selim so lost in thought, found her view of the burning city blocked from herself, her eyes soon traveled up the chest and found herself staring back at a vacant hand and blue hair.
Her smile grew, even if It wasn't on purpose. Of course it would never be on purpose for her to subconsciously smile at the man before her. The hand was removed, and soon peered into Ruby red eyes.
"Tomura." Her voice broke saying his name. Maybe she was confused.
She understood his goal. To destroy everything once and for all. For 4 years he spoke of it. Long before Redestro. The MLA. Overhaul. They were all pawns to help Tomura level up is all.
But was it really?
Was she blinded by childish love? Blinded by Society and what they demanded of those in it?
"I have something for you my pet."
Her eyes snapped back to his sickly pale face, and on instict her eyes traveled down to his right hand, he was holding something.
Pinky out, and all for the world to see, the head of her father.
The once mighty Beast Hero. Dead.
She would've seen it as Justice finally served for her, if her heart hadn't of felt more dread. She didn't say a peep. Her voice had left her again, and Tomura took her silence as unhappiness.
His smile fell all too quickly before she even registered it herself, and he tossed the head away from them.
"I will destroy everything. Once and for all."
And as quick as smoke in the wind. He was gone. Why destroy it all? There's nothing left to destroy.
Her legs began moving, following. Why? Even she couldn't answer that. A lump formed in her throat, as hot tears stung her dirty face. Deep down she knew this would happen, yet still. She choose to stay. To support him.
Like a bandit making out with treasure, Tomura seeked out his new victims. She watched in silent horror as Tomura soon began turning on the League. Compress, decayed and a pile of nothing. Toga, her eyes once showed excitement, turned cold with dread. her body language showed the fear. She fought back. "Tomura-kun. Y-you said we were an exception-". Decayed and a pile of nothing.
One by one he tracked down the members, one by one she watched as she choked her screams as Dabi, and Spinner were torn apart by Tomura's Quirk.
One by one, her heart finally shattered. Each piece representing the members he so ruthlessly killed without mercy. He turned to her in his manic crouching position, his hands covered in their blood.
His smile, crule and cold. His eyes staring back at her.
She knew this day would come. And yet she choose to stay.
He stood, walking towards her as if he was the Hunter, and she his prey.
She knew, that even with all they all had been through together, they never helped his itch. Not even her. Her soft Hazel eyes, her welcoming touches, her breathy moans and gasps. Hands desperately tugging his hair as he would bring her sweet release.
Not even her, could help his itch.
She found herself planted as he grew nearer. She could run. She could fight back.
But she never moved, never wavered. Feet planted. Because she knew deep down. It was bound to happen.
Her head fell, hair covering her eyes and she waited, time seemed to have stopped, the only sounds she can hear is his footsteps stopping before her. It was all too much for her.
Finally looking up, the expression he wore was hard to read. Fight. Before he kills you.
Everything building, all the noise coming back everything rushing at her so fast she could barely hear the desperate cries battling within, heart beating so fast it could burst. Tears flowing by the second before finally.
"It's okay." She said, throat scratchy and unraveling her deepest fear. Her fists loosened, her shoulders slack, the tears stopped falling. Her courage finally came, able to look upon his face.
For she knew it could quite possibly be the last beautiful thing she will see.
"You can do it. And it won't change a thing, Tomura."
She stared into his eyes. Lip quivering. But not of fear.
"You can do it, and it would still not change how I feel about you." She choked back a sob.
"Just know that I am sorry. And I wish. I-I wish I could've been there for you sooner. Everyday- I wished to change the past. So you can be happy."
His gaze never faltered as he let her speak. His hand twitching, staring down at her small frame. She felt at peace. Seeing in her peripheral, His hand moved towards her but she never stopped looking into his eyes.
"If it will make you happy."
His hand moved closer.
"Then I won't fight it."
She closed her eyes. Heart a soft hum, mind clearer than it had been for what seemed like ages. She waited for impact, is it supposed to be quick? Has he done it and that she was truly in the dark?. Never to see his face again?
Never to hear his soft chuckles? Before watching him turn away with a slight blush on his face?. Never have pillow talk of their lives and his past? To give him the comfort he desperately clung to?.
She felt something wrap around the back of her neck, before being forced into a warm chest, another arm snaked around her waist pulling her into the tightest, most secure hug she had ever felt before. Her body limp, she let herself be held, hearing soft warm breaths hit her bare neck, she found herself sobbing.
Uncontrolled tears fell hotter than before, her sobs became loud cries, her tears staining Tomura's bloodied black shirt.
Truth be told she didn't want to die. She wanted to grow old, live a life she desperately clung to. with him.
To wake up next to his peaceful face.
She found strength in her body to move her arms to wrap around his neck, her hands finding themselves tangled in his locks. Was Selim relieved? To be spared from his decay? Or relieved to know he did still have humane intentions?
Was she being selfish to expect him to go against what he truly wanted?.
Even for a little while longer, they can stay like this.
While the world burned.
I seen a couple people have theories that Tomura could very possibly when it comes to him hitting his goal of destroying everything that he would eventually destroy the League as well. And thought it'd be great idea to write about.
Hope you guys enjoyed it. Wrote it while listening to Harry Potter Ost Lily's theme.
I think I could get used to some angsty. Idk if I did good though lol .

Oblivious Part 2
Peter Parker x Reader
Summary: You start to realize that you maybe have new feelings for Peter
----
Days had passed since you found out Peter liked you. Seeing him after was awkward, neither of you really knew what to say. And you may have been blaming yourself for why it was that awkaward. 
Because as fate would have it. 
You had a problem.
A big problem.
Since that night 7 days ago, you couldn't get Peter off your mind. It was like a switch had been flipped and you were suddenly noticing him. Like really noticing him. Like the way he blushed when he did something mildly embarrassing. How humble he was in every sense of the word, he was a genius and he knew it, but not once had he ever looked down on someone for not knowing something. The way his eyes lit up when someone talked about old movies. And then you noticed how attractive he actually was. He had a cute face, you've always thought that, and you knew he was strong. But now you were beginning to find yourself becoming increasingly attracted to him (MJ had even found you checking him out on more than one occasion). So you couldn't help but make things feel increasingly awkward around him. You were starting to figure out your own feelings towards the boy and then reality hit.
"Holy shit." You hissed, once Ned and Peter got up to get lunch, leaving you and MJ.
"What?"
"Tonight's my date with Jason."
MJ raised an eyebrow, "And you forgot?"
"Yes! Oh my god." You continued to panic.
MJ shut her book, "Okay, let me get this straight. You forgot you had a date with Jason, when he's all you've been talking about for months now, after Peter tells you he likes you."
You narrowed your eyes, "I feel like this is a trap." 
"F/N."
"Alright! Fine, I don't really know what I feel anymore. I've completely forgot Jason even exsisted because all I can think about it Peter, and I don't know what to do anymore."
"...I don't know what you want me to say. This sounds like something you need to figure out on your own."
"Ugh, thanks for nothing." You muttered. "...Okay, this is what I'll do. I'll go on the date and then I'll just break it off tomorrow."
"So, you're still gonna go out with him?"
"Yeah, he-"
Peter and Ned had come back and sat down across from you and MJ. Peter had a frown on his face, and you instantly knew he overheard part of your conversation. The rest of the lunch period was uncomfortable. Peter hadn't really said anything, MJ almost never speaks anyway, so the period consisted of you and Ned trying to make things less awkward. But thankfully the period eventually ended and you all went to your respective classes.
~~
You sighed as you threw your backpack into a corner of your apartment. School had been exhausting to say the least. It's funny how just last week you felt like you were on the top of the world. The boy you had been crushing on had asked you out, but now you felt like a dumb teenager trying to sort out her feelings for her best friend.
And now you had to get ready for your date.
You and Jason had agreed to go to the mall. Where you'd probably just grab dinner and shop around together. You weren't as excited as you were a week ago so you decided you'd just change into just casual clothing. What was the point of looking your best when you were just going to dump him the next day. You felt bad, of course you did. Jason liked you but now you had Peter consuming your thoughts 24/7 and it was getting really tiring. You weren't sure if you wanted to be in a relationship with him, but you wouldn't say no to dating a little. Coming to that conclusion was tough because picturing yourself actually being romantically involved with him was very different, he'd always just been your dorky best friend. But the longer you thought about, you started to like the idea more and more. You just needed an extra push. You walked into your living room and fell on your couch, and let out an exasperated sigh into a pillow. Your mom, who you didn't even notice, sat in a chair with her laptop on her lap and started laughing.
"What's got you all worked up (N/N)?" Your mom asked.
"Life." Came your muffled reply.
"I thought you had a date with that boy tonight, why are you upset?" 
You usually told your mom everything, but you couldn't bring yourself to talk about Peter, it just felt weird to get all your thoughts out in the open about the topic. "It's hard to explain."
"Try me."
"I don't wanna say."
"It'll make you feel better, plus who am I gonna tell?"
"Ughh fine." You sat up on the couch. "It's about.... It's about Peter."
"Did you guys have a fight?"
"N-no, he- he kinda told me he likes me."
Your moms eyes widened, "When did this happen?" Your mom had been you and Peter's biggest shipper. You never quite understood it.
"Last Friday."
"And you didn't tell me!?"
"No cause I knew you were gonna be weird about it and I had to think about it."
"What did you tell him."
"I told him I wasn't interested, but I dunno anymore..."
Your mother raised her eyebrow, "You don't know?"
"N-no. I mean yes he's cute, and yes he's nice, and we're both nerds and we get along so well together but..."
"But?" Your mom urged.
"He's my best friend!" You exclaimed, frustratedly. "I grew up with him and what if we do go out and we break up, then I would've lost my best friend. And we've been friends for so long and I don't know how I'd even go about starting a relationship with hi-."
"(F/N)." Your mother cut you off, "Your problem sounds similar to a problem I had in high school."
You looked at her confused, "You liked your best friend."
Yes."
"What'd you do?"
"I married him." A look of realization crossed your features as you waited for your mom to continue. "Falling in love with your best friend is a weird experience. I didn't know if it'd work out at first either, but once we got past the awkward stage it was so easy. We already knew everything about each other and we just understood each other so well. So, if you like Peter and he likes you, try it out. And I've seen you two together since you were 5, I don't think there's any way for the two of you not to be friends, even if it doesn't work out."
"So you think I should give him a chance."
"Of course, he's a good kid. So go cancel your date, because I haven't heard you say a single word about him all week so i doubt he was that important to begin with, and go talk to Peter."
"Okay.. thanks." You mumbled.
Your mom smiled in return and went back to work on her laptop as you walked to your bedroom. You pulled out your phone and texted Jason, and after about 30 minutes of trying to think of the nicest way of letting him down you came up with.
'I'm so sorry, but Im not sure if we should go out. Something came up.'
After about 5 minutes your phone vibrated.
'Is it Peter?'
You furrowed your eyebrows in confusion and typed back.
'Yeah'
'Then I understand, good luck.'
Okay, you definitely weren't expecting that, but whatever, you'd take it.
You then decided to text Peter.
'Can we talk tonight?'
A reply came seconds later.
'Sure, but don't you have a date?'
'I'll explain everything later, just come to my apartment at 7. My mom and dad will be out.'
'Alright'
Your heart was racing as you typed the messages. It was only 5 now so you had 2 hours before he would show up. You decided to figure out what you'd tell him, you rehearsed it in your head over and over, and before you knew it there was a knock at your front door.
You swung the door open, revealing a nervous Peter.
"Hey," you greeted and opened the door wider to let him in.
He nodded his head slightly at your greeting and headed to your living room. You shut the door and followed after him. "Soo, what did you want to talk about." Peter asked nervously as he sat down on your couch. You pulled a chair over so you were sitting across from him.
"I wanted to talk about what happened last Friday."
He sighed, "Listen (F/N), I get it that you don't feel the same, I don't know if I can handle being rejected twice."
"No it's- it's not that Pete."
Peter furrowed his eyebrows, "Then what is it."
"I've been thinking a lot, and I've come to realize that I'm not completely opposed to dating you." 
Peter stiffened and his eyes widened, before he relaxed and said sadly, "Seriously, it's okay, don't force yourself to like me if you don't, neither of us want that."
"No!" You exclaimed, "I'm not kidding Peter, you're the only person I can think about right now. You've been consuming my thoughts 24/7 and I'm freaking out!"
Peter chuckled a little, "Now you know how I've felt for 6 months."
"See! And you say things like that, and i don't know what to do. I like you, I'm really sure I do but I'm just so confused and I don't know how to deal with these feelings, because we've been friends for so long."
"Well what do you want?"
"I want to give us a chance, but I'm scared."
"Would it help if I told you how I feel about you?"
"Yes, please I need help."
"Okay, well." Peter grabbed your hands and held it in his. You looked at Peter with a blush on both your faces. "I p-panicked at first too. It happened after Liz left, and all through October and November was when my crush on you really started to grow. I started to notice every little thing about you, the way you stuck the tip of your tongue out when you were concentrating or like when you would bite your thumb nail when you were nervous. I started to admire e-everything about you. You're determined and your strong a-and I could easily list off a ton of things but it'd take too long."Peter chuckled before continuing, "I knew that it was more than a crush one night in December. We were having a movie night, and we were watching Harry Potter because you got tired of watching Star Wars and you were so insistent that we watch Harry Potter, I realized I couldn't say no to you and the way you smiled when I gave in just made my heart race." Peter smiled ear to ear at the memory.
You stared at him with puppy dog eyes, realizing more and more that you did want a relationship with the boy in front of you.
"And later that night." He said looking down at both your hands together before continuing. "It had to be about 1 am, Ned and MJ were passed out, and I had woken up from the TV, and I just found you curled up in my side, fighting off how tired you were trying to stay awake to watch Harry Potter, and I don't know, I just felt so weak for you. It was so simple but you felt so warm and you looked so cute, I realized that I wanted you more than just a friend and it felt so right. And then Monday came along and that was when-"
"Jason." You breathed out.
"Yeah, Jason had just moved here. And I remember the way you looked at him, you were like caught in a trance. And I knew I was screwed cause that was the same way I looked at you. I was so confused after, cause I thought that you maybe liked me back, but you didn't, so I tried to get over you but it just got worse, and I know we're young and don't really know what love is but I feel like I'm in love with you." 
Peter looked up but was met with your soft lips on his. Peter widened his eyes in excitement before letting them close shut. You were now standing up, leaning over him with one hand on his jaw and the other behind his neck. His hands went up to rest on your waist. The kiss quickly became deeper and a little rougher. He pulled you down so that you were laying on the couch and he was now above you. The kiss was passionate as both your lips fought for dominance, but unfortunately it didn't last long.
The door to your apartment was opened as both your parents walked in, you both pulled away quickly and were on opposite sides of the couch.
'Oh shit'
"Well I'm glad to see you two worked things out." Your mom said with a laugh looking at your disheveled forms.
Your dad looked a mixture between pissed but also very slightly relieved (probably because he trusted Peter). "I'm gonna go pretend I never saw that. Peter I like you but if I catch you with my daughter like that again you better run."
Peter gulped, "Y-yes sir."
"Um- I'll walk him out." You said quickly and pulled him along with you.
You stood outside your apartment door, and looked at Peter with a bright smile and hugged him. Peter wrapped his arms around you and held you tightly. "By the way I take it back." You said, "You are the sweetest and handsomest guy I've ever met."
Peter smiled back down at you and pressed a soft kiss to your forehead.

Try to tame a dragon, would you?
Pt.3
The next day, they had worked on it a little more, this time sharing words. They had also agreed to eat lunch together, just to make use of the time and to work on the case a little more.
And so, it is why the two were sited face to face in an indian snack/restaurant in muggle London. Draco stared at the crowd in silence while Harry observed him.
The prat had changed. His snarky, disdainful attitude had almost completely disappeared, making him somewhat of a decent human being. Harry was surprised; he didn't actually hate being around the ferret that much anymore. It was even fun, sometimes, when they both trashed whoever had written the papers required for the case. Most of the time was spent in silence, or sharing thoughts and ideas on the works they were doing. Harry didn't mind.
His eyes fell to Draco's fingers. They were distractedly touching his forearm, caressing the skin over the jacket he was wearing. Harry guessed what was hidden, scarring Draco's skin forever.
With a sigh, he decided to spark up a conversation. "How's your mother?" he asked. She had saved him from certain death and for that, he couldn't hate her. She had been released and was now there and abouts with her life, happily, Harry hoped.
Draco's eyes jerked back at Harry and a spark of surprise hinted them. "She's...she's fine. Why do you care?"
"She saved me, remember? Plus, sitting in silence is boring. What have you been up to until we met again?" he continued, unaware of Draco's uneasyness. He watched Draco's shoulders lift and fall back down in a shrug.
"Not much. Went to live in Paris for a while, studied a little. Then back to London, then to Romania and else. Studied dragons mostly, with Charlie Weasley. The only red head I'll ever tolerate." he finished with a small smile. Harry seemed a little surprised to see his old nemesis smile so gently. His own lips curled upwards and he nodded, encouraging Draco to continue. The young man took the invitation with joy. "I learned a lot through him. I found a growing passion for dragons. They're so great, don't you think?" he asked, his eyes tinkering with interest.
Images of the Triwizard Tournament flashed before Harry's eyes. "I mean...I was nearly killed by one at 16..." he started, shrugging. "But yeah, they're pretty cool."
Draco's reaction was surprising. A wide smile appeared on his face for a blink moment, before his cheeks took a gentle crimson colour and he dropped his eyes back to his menu. It made Harry chuckle and melt, just a little though.
.
Harry sat, in his apartment, against the sofa. His eyes wandered over the burning logs of wood in the chimney.
He was hungry but his body refused to cooperate. A glass of wine in his hand, he balanced it between fingers, unaware of the world around him. Him and Malfoy had been working together for weeks now. They had sparked somewhat of a friendship, just enough to spend decent time together.
The Golden boy enjoyed watching Draco light up at the sight of dragons, or animals, in general. He seemed to carefree and soft that Harry found himself wanting to wrap his arms around the blonde. Even more so when they walked past pet stores. Draco would stick his face up to the puppies, nose against the glass and his voice would go up a couple of picthes. And then, when he would realise where he was -and who he was with- he'd blush and stand straight and proud. It made Harry shake with laughter, everytime.
Tilting his head towards the ceiling, he sighed. Feeling his body slowly fall into slumber, he welcomed it gratefully and closed his eyes, just slightly. The world became a blur and he relaxed.
A rumble made him flinch, then a burst of smoke and the loud thud of a body falling. He stood, wand in hand and looked through the smoke and ashes.
A figure was on the ground, coughing. Harry pointed his wand at it, ready to attack when a voice, gentle but raspy, flew to his ears. "Potter?", it asked. Harry flinched once more and rushed towards the nearly motionless body. It was Malfoy.
"Malfoy? What are you doing here?" Harry brought his hand up to Draco. He shivered at the touch of the other man's warm skin.
"My apartment...trashed...had to get out...before hurt.." managed to whisper Draco before he fell inconscious. With a worried glance, Harry shook his partner's shoulders in an attempt to wake him up, but it didn't work. So, he brought his arm under Draco's back, the other at the curve if his knees and he effortlessly lifted the limp body to his room.
Harry took off Malfoy's shoes after proping him over the blankets of his bed. The moon was shining brightly, its rays gently reflecting on Draco's dewy skin. It seemed to glow. Harry wondered if he wasn't part veela, for he was gorgeous. Biting his lip, he allowed his fingers to brush a silver lock out of Malfoy's face. Surprised of his movement, he retrieved his hand and laid down next to the other man, at a healthy distance. He'd get more information later on.
.
His eyes fluttered open as the sun gently lapped his skin. Green eyes looked around, confusedly. It was now bright, the room was bathed in a golden halo of warmth.
With a groan, Harry turned to his side and fell face to face with a sleeping Draco. He hadn't been able to quite see him in the dark, but now, he could see the small scratch above his brow. His lips were curled upwards and his whole body rested, peacefully, with an air of contentment. He was truly gorgeous and Harry felt his heart palpitate.
"Observing me, Potter?" asked Draco's sleepy voice. His eyes hooded, he looked down at Harry with a smirk.
Harry felt his cheeks ignite and he shrugged. "Nah. I'm gonna make coffee." he said, in an attempt to leave the room -and to hide his growing erection-. Draco nodded and allowed his eyelids to fall back, relaxing once more.
A little later, he was presented with a cup of warm coffee. Siting up, he held it in his palms, the gentle smell flowing to his nose. Harry sat next to him, a little awkwardly.
"So hum, what was yesterday about?" asked Harry. He felt Draco's body tense and watched his eyes take a darker shade. Harry frowned, little worried. The only couple of words he had managed to get out of his partner weren't so useful, so he asked again.
Draco took a deep and long sip of coffee. His adams apple moved along with the movement as he swallowed and Harry found himself wondering what it would look like if the other man was swallowing something else than coffee. The stiffness in his pants told him that it would certainly be hot, very very hot. Dismissing these thoughts, he looked down at the bed sheets. "When I got home yesterday, my wards were off. The living room was absolutely trashed and I could heart laughter coming from one of the guest bedrooms. I freaked out and just had the time to protect my pets in a closed off room before they found me. I couldn't really see them, and suddenly, memories came back vividly and I couldn't do anything about it. I froze. It was horrible. I got in the chimney, threw the powder in and I must have thought of you then, I found myself coughing my lungs out in your apartment."
Harry's frown deepened. This kind of stuff happened a lot in the Ministry. He had to let the other Aurors know and they had to perform some tests and charms to ensure of the safety in the apartment further and to find out who had been able to enter such a protected place. Nodding thoughtfully, he let a smile appear on his face. "It's okay. You can stay here for as long as you want. It's big enough. I'll sleep on the couch." he said, without really realising so. Then, with a smile, he walked to the kitchen, leaving a blushing Draco alone in his room.
After a couple of minutes, Draco walked out, hands firmly gripping the warm mug. He found the kitchen without much bother and leaned against the door frame. The radio was on, flying about in the room. A muggle hit was playing and Dracp snickered. It reminded him of Paris, somehow. Harry hadn't seen him yet and he was wiggling his hips, swaying them to the rythm, a spatula in hand. Draco observed with an amused glare and sipped his coffee. The bacon was sizzling in the pan and the eggs were cooked, in a plate. Draco figured he'd help so he placed the mug on the table and walked to Harry. "Where are the plates?" he asked.
Harry stopped his dancing and blushed. Recoverring from the slight surprise, he pointed to a cupboard and then a drawer. Draco got two plates, two knives, two forks. Two of everything. He then placed them face to face on the small table and leaned against this one. "You've got some dancing skills scarhead." he teased, a smirk curling his lips.
Harry shook his head and pouted. "Oh shut up."
