Word Count: 1k
Summary: “Wait, is your mystery guy an Auror? Damn, do we know him?” His hand went to his chin as he pondered who it could be, Ron added bashfully, “I thought your mystery guy worked in a library, to be honest.”
Both men looked at her in earnest as they awaited her answer when the sound of a door opening dragged their attention to the hallway. ~ Harry and Ron find out about Draco and Hermione.
Characters: Draco Malfoy, Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley
Date written: July 27, 2022
Hermione was walking on air that morning. A sleepy, satisfied smile on her face as she made her way to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. As she put the kettle on her mind was drawn back to the certain wizard who’d she left showering in her – their bedroom, as of last night it he was officially moved in. She still needed to tell her friends that her and Malfoy were in a serious relationship, but alas, she’d never found the right time.
The first time she almost told her friends were a few weeks after their third date but then Harry had announced his engagement to Ginny and Hermione thought it best to wait. Then a month after at a friendly quidditch match for ministry workers she’d intended to tell Harry and Ron about her and Draco, but the boys were bitter about losing to Malfoy and his team, so it definitely wasn’t the right time. Harry and Ron would sometimes get suspicious of her when she would disappear on them for days, but she’d quickly cover it up with her having to work extra hours as a healer in training. Coupled with the fact that Harry was busy with Ms. Weasley and planning his wedding and Ron being occupied with Auror work things worked out.
Even if she hadn’t found time to tell her friends it had nothing to do with her being ashamed of their relationship because she’d met with his friends more than enough times. Hermione wasn’t going to lie to herself and not admit that keeping their relationship to themselves – for the most part made it all the more intense. Fuck, just thinking about the way Draco claimed her after some poor ministry bloke had been flirting with her the other night had her blushing scarlet. Hermione was snapped out of her more than welcomed daydream when the sound of the floo activating had her pulling Draco’s white button up closed. As if now realizing she’d been naked underneath aside from some underwear, she turned away from the floo and hurriedly buttoned it up.
“Hey, Mione!” Harry called out as he and Ron entered the kitchen matching excited grins on their face, “Morning!” She said with a frazzled smile, “Harry, Ron, what are you doing here so early?” They each pulled a face, noting her frenzied state, “Uh…Hermione, it’s three in the afternoon.” Ron said cautiously brows furrowing, “Are you feeling sick?” Harry added, “Yeah Hermione you don’t look so good, your hairs a mess and you look a bit red, are you getting hot flashes?” Hermione resisted the urge to roll her eyes as they mothered her.
“I’m fine. I just slept in is all. I had a long night.” She bit the inside of her lip as she remembered just why she was up so late when her eyes caught on an Auror badge thrown haphazardly on the counter beside her. Trying to get the attention off her she said, “So, what brings you both here?” She said, slowly creeping her hand closer to the badge trying to keep her bottom half behind the kitchen island that separated her and the boys. Ron perked up saying, “You’re looking at the new Auror of the month, turns out with all the days Malfoy skipped I’ve finally beaten the git and got the position.” He boosted with a proud smile on his face and though Hermione should’ve felt guilty about being responsible for the days Draco missed she couldn’t. “Congratulations! I’m so proud of you.” She beamed at him, genuinely happy for her friend. When Harry hadn’t said anything, she turned his way to find his stare trained on the movement of her hand and she froze.
“Did I leave my badge here the other day?” Shaking his head as he tried to remember if he ever misplaced it, he moved forward to grab the golden badge when Hermione quickly snatched it to her, “Sorry, no, Harry this isn’t yours.” She said with a hesitant laugh, Ron added looking at his friend oddly, “Mate you badge is on your belt,” he paused before adding, “wait, Hermione why do you have an Aurors badge here?” Both men's eyes widened comically as Harry said, “Wait, is your mystery guy an Auror? Damn, do we know him?” His hand went to his chin as he pondered who it could be, Ron added bashfully, “I thought your mystery guy worked in a library to be honest.”
Both men looked at her in earnest as they awaited her answer when the sound of a door opening dragged their attention to the hallway. Hermione watched their reactions as she stood frozen behind the kitchen island as Draco Malfoy walked out in nothing but his towel resting lowly on his hips. Hermione licked her lips unconsciously as she watched water droplets trail over his chest, disappearing beneath the towel. Oh, how she wished Harry and Ron wasn’t here, but there were. “Malfoy!” They both shouted comically, and Hermione would’ve laughed if she wasn’t feeling so tense, “Potter, Weasel.” He nodded their way before walking the rest of the way to Hermione, ducking low her wrapped an arm around her waist and whispered lowly in her ear, “I was just about to come get you, but it seems you have your self-occupied at the moment, Granger.” Hermione clenched her eyes shut as she leaned further into him, before opening them and looking up into his grey ones, “I’ll deal with it and make it up to you later?” She bargained with a cheeky grin before pecking him on the mouth, but it seemed that he had other plans when his free hand swiped her thigh making her gasp as he slipped his tongue into her mouth, deepening the kiss. She melted into him forgetting about their audience, but he pulled away all to quickly for her liking and kissed her forehead leaving her panting to catch her breath.
Stealing herself she said, “Just let me grab some pants and I’ll be back.” When she returned she sat with her best friends who still looked to be in shock but she was ready to hear the onslaught of questions they aimed her way.

The shapes a bright container can contain!
Tumblr media
I. Since she’d come to Hogwarts, a favor to the retiring Headmistress, some non-contractual agreement about offering tutorials to a handful of gifted seventh years as if she were an Oxford don and finishing a long-postponed renovation to the Astronomy Tower the official explanation for her return a good fifteen plus years after the Final Battle, Draco found Hermione Granger was everywhere, all the time. And never there when he turned around. When he might have offered something beyond his initial formal greeting, some rejoinder when she corrected him he needn’t call her Domina Nimue Granger, that Professor would do well enough and she wouldn’t be taking or granting House points. 
She was reliable and efficient, her initial projects moving along briskly, the additional ones she developed becoming less notable as they accrued. The general consensus was that Professor Granger was capable of managing everything and was unlikely to refuse any request, unless it was to do with brooms or Quidditch. She was even-tempered and patient, always the consummate professional but subdued, which the students found unremarkable. Draco, who’d been on the other end of her right hook when they were thirteen, who’d watched her over a thousand meals in the Great Hall, smiling, laughing, squawking when someone tried to grab her quill, who’d seen her tortured, who’d witnessed her duel, was concerned. 
He became more concerned after chatting briefly with Neville, who couldn’t get her to have a drink at the pub or to linger over the coffee she preferred with her breakfast. That’s our Hermione, Neville had said with a degree of wistful affection that made Draco sure the our was both aspirational and hopeless.
He didn’t say anything though. Not to Neville and certainly not to Hermione. He asked his son what he thought and Scorpius shrugged.
“She might not be someone who cares very much how she looks to other people, Dad.”
That was him put in his place. He still watched her. And worried.

@a-fangirl-08 i just saw you liking the posts and had the urge to write this. Hope you like it! Also, this is a voldy actually died with Jily AU.
"Are you sure about this?" Draco asks nervously, not for the first time in the past couple of hours.
"Yes, love. It's just Pads and Mooney. They know I'm bringing home my partner tonight."
"Woah, wait! They don't know I'm coming?" Draco asks incredulously.
"I just said they did."
"Harry, love. Have you specifically told them it's me, Draco Malfoy, son to Narcissa Black-Malfoy?"
Harry just looks skyward, avoiding his eyes.
"Harry James Potter! I will kill you and then resurrect you to kill you again if you tell me that-"
Before he can finish his sentence, the door to Grimmauld Place opens. Behind it, Sirius Black, his cousin and Harry's Godfather stands, with an eyebrow raised.
"Are you going to come in? Or do we need to listen to this some more through the charms?" He asks.
"Oh.. we just- yeah let's get inside." Harry stutters out and takes his hand before entering the Noble House of Black.
Sirius doesn't say a word, until they are seaten in the living room, across Professor Lupin.
Before Draco gets to greet the them two formally, he looks at Harry to find him with his eyebrows scrunched up and he then says,
"What charms?"
"They are the opposite of privacy charms, so my lovely ancestors could hear what was going outside their door. It's never been removed, as I got to know a few minutes back." Sirius shrugs and looks from Harry to Draco.
"Oh, okay. Well, er... This is my partner, Draco Malfoy."
"We know." They say in unison and what?
"You know...? How?"
It's Professor Lupin who answers, "Because Harry, he is all you talk about. Have since fourth year. And now, Draco, tell us how were you thinking of resurrecting Harry after killing him? I have some ideas if you want."
"He is teasing, mate. Don't take him seriously," Sirius says before he can muster up any kind of reply, "I'm sure you have heard about us, not as much as we have about you of course."
"Yes, Mr. Black. Harry talks very highly of you both."
"Moons, help me. He is making me sound like some old pureblood man!" Sirius pleas dramatically, or he thinks so?
"Pads, you are an old pureblood man. And Draco, call us Padfoot and Moony if you're comfortable. Or Sirius and Remus would do as well. Let's ditch the formalities, please."
"I am old-" Sirius starts again and Draco smiles softly at them three when even Harry joins in on the banter. There was nothing of this sort at the Manor ever, to make it feel happy and safe.
So he just sits back and enjoys, sometimes commenting about Harry's this or that but otherwise just content to listen to his boyfriend and hopefully soon to be fiance be himself.

Could You Tell a Lovegood from a Malfoy if One Appeared in Your Best Friend’s Living Room? (Drarry)
Harry is hanging out with his friends and Draco makes a silly little guest appearance.
So so so short, all fluff, featuring shocked to silence Hermione and Ron (will make a part 2 with their reactions if I feel like it!).
“Right, so then the kid get’s up, says Professor Potter, I heard some of the other professors gossiping in the hallways, and—“
Harry is cut off abruptly by Draco stepping into the room. Seeing his boyfriend all dressed up and ready for some big, important meeting or visit to an upscale bar renders him stupid every single time. Black over black over black—Draco looks particularly dashing tonight, which could’ve been on purpose.
He always loved putting on a show.
This, though, should not be enough to justify Hermione Granger’s sharp gasp and Ron’s eyes popping out of his head the way they do (unless, conveniently, Potter and forgotten to tell them the bloke he’s been seeing the last few weeks was actually Malfoy).
Maybe Harry should have warned them. But this is much funnier.
With little decorum, Draco wanders over and puts a foot up between Harry’s knees, at which point the Chosen One’s fingers nimbly tie the laces and fold up the cuffs. This is he and Draco’s routine, and Harry loves it—he loves doing this mundane and simple task for his boyfriend, loves how it makes him feel useful and like he’s part of Draco’s plans no matter how small the part. He would be upset if Draco didn’t do it on account of his friends, and he’s glad he didn’t have to ask.
“I am simply going to lose my mind if you tell this story one more time,” Draco says, all posh and nonchalant, smoothing the cuffs of his jacket and easily snapping on these incredible silver cuff links that Harry is supremely jealous of, even though his are solid gold. Nothing quite does Harry in like silver jewelry on Malfoy—when he looks up, he’s delighted to find these dangling silver earrings he had purchased the other man and melts accordingly.
“Longbottom and Weasley wouldn’t know a Niffler from a Bowtruckle, which is why they can’t tell a Lovegood from a Malfoy.”
He glances back at the silent couple, gripping each other and watching on with what seems to be abject horror. Harry slips a hand up Draco’s calf and fights the urge to drag him to the bedroom there and then when he flashes an easy, shameless smile in their direction.
“No offense,” he says pointedly towards Ron, “All they saw was blond hair, so who can really blame them?” He drops his foot back to the floor and smooths his suit. This is where Draco would usually bend to kiss him and he’d end up thirty-odd minutes late to wherever he was headed, but the blond refrains.
Harry doesn’t love this, but he understands it.
“How long will you be?”
“A couple hours—Pansy and Blaise are insatiable.”
“Still trying to find you a suitable mate?” Harry teases, and Draco scowls.
“As if such a thing exists—why do you think I had to settle for you?” he responds, sounding serious, but meaning fuck all of it. Harry smiles widely up at the man, who can’t help but answer him with another, softer.
“All bark,” Harry says, and he wishes he could pull Draco in, but his friends are already having heart attacks, so he leaves it be, despite how much he aches for a little more Draco before he has to leave.
“I’ll be off, then,” Draco announces, moving towards the door, “Don’t go into my study—your birthday present is in there—and you two—“ he points a finger at Ron and Hermione, and though it’s subtle, Harry can see Draco fighting laughter at their current state, “—don’t let him get wine drunk. He’s get’s terribly whiny and my patience is already thin.”
“You love it,” Harry accuses, and Draco rolls his eyes.
“I love you,” Draco corrects, which throws Harry for a loop—but an extremely welcome one. He hadn’t expected Draco to say it in front of Hermione and Ron, but there he went, loudly and without hesitating, “Not your ridiculous antics.”
Harry’s heart swells with something fiery.
“I love you, too,” Harry says, “Now get on with it.”
And then Draco is gone, and Harry is left to deal with the children all on his own.

dhr drabble // prompt "just a little"
"daddy can i have just a little more" Scorpius sheepishly asked his father holding a bag of crisps
Draco didn't even look up from his copy of the daily prophet. he had already heard Hermione tell him no.
"what did you mother say?" draco asked with a chuckle
"mom said no but it's because shes making dinner!" Scorpius whisper yelled.
this caught Draco's attention. Hermione cant cook, every time she does its either burnt or undercooked. Draco looked up at his son who had pleading eyes.
"okay heres what were going to do. your going to put the crisps back and we order a muggle pizza. how does that sounds?" draco asked scorpius quietly.
"what about mum? i dont want to make her feel bad..." scorpius said sadly
"ill handle your mother scorp" draco said winking at his son. now to go talk to hermione. this is not going to end well for him but neither will food poisoning.

Toffee Pt. 3: Professor
Tumblr media
You were walking the platform, having agreed to watch the students, specifically the first years get on the train. You were talking to a familiar face when you saw a ginger-haired and a dark-haired pair of boys, you did a double take. 
"Ronald Weasley!" you said, smiling. 
"Professor! How're you? You get to teach Fred and George, good luck."
"Aw, those two are my favorites! I am excited to see you around, Ronnie. If you and your..." you looked at the boy that was beside him and a million memories flashed into your mind. Her laugh, his laugh, his hair he combed with a little too much gel, her eyes that glowed hot with hope, her smile, his smile. You smiled, "Your friend ever need anything, do not hesitate to ask!" 
Two ginger suck up behind you and screamed making you, turn around and swat at them. "Oh, you two! Always causing issues, aren't ya?"
"C'mon Professor Show Harry the bird!" Fred said.
"Unless you've gotten rusty, that is! You're what 3-" George stop when he saw you pull out your wand and a coin, "George if you know what's best for you, you will not finish that sentence." You threw the coin into the air and smiled as you swished your wand, turning the coin into a bluebird that fluttered up to the light to roost. You looked at Ron and Harry.
"You will learn a lot of magic at Hogwarts. You should have fun but," you thought about all the trouble James got into, "try not to get in trouble, dearies."
And one of the first things they did was get in trouble. Alerted by your students looking out the window, you watched from your tower in bewilderment as Harry seemed to be taunted by a blonde boy. Along with your students that were now crowded beside the windows, you watched as the blonde threw a ball of some sort and he flew and caught it with skill no first-year-first lesson should have taught. You would have a talk with him later but as he landed, Professor McGonagall walked out and took him off. You knew Gryffindor was searching for a new seeker and you grinned as you thought about him on the quidditch pitch. 
You silenced your students before returning to face the blackboard, "Alright alright, shows over! Back to your seats, you have an ess- George, put that can opener down."
"You got eyes in the back of your head Professor."
Eventually, your class was over and you were walking to the Great Hall, book in hand. You stopped when you came to a certain window: It was where you and Remus would meet and sneak up to the astronomy tower. You smiled as you thought of your husband but scowled, he should be here teaching instead of doing hard labor that made his hands calloused and cracked. 
You would return to him over the holidays as it was your rotation turn to go home. All the teachers had agreed to draw lots years ago that were marked with numbers between one and three and whichever you drew, that was your group. Having drawn a two, you had to stay last year but you would return to your quaint little house for Christmas. It was very early to be thinking about it but you grew excited. You were so caught up in thought until you heard your voice, you jumped and looked to see a short-haired girl in a Gryffindor robe. 
"Apologies, Do you need something?" 
"I have a few questions about your class and what it includes." 
You were confused since the girl had to have been a first year, "Oh I don't think you ne-"
"I know a lot about muggles, being muggle-born, will that make it to where I can't take your class?"
"Oh, no, it won't. "
"Okay! Thank you, Professor. I'm Hermione Granger." She extended her hand and you reached for it. Something about her reminded you of yourself. 
"Don't worry about my class, Miss Granger. It's two years away. You need to focus on the ones you have and enjoy your first year." 
"I will! I will, Professor Lupin, I will." 
You and the girl walked to the Great Hall, talking about her classes and how you'd be willing to tutor her during your free period, which she gladly accepted. You saw her to the Gryffindor table before smiling and waving bye to her as she sat down and you walked to take your seat at your table. 
"Oh my god, Professor Lupin is just amazing! She offered to tutor me!" she shook with excitement. Harry looked at Ron.
"Isn't she the one we saw at the platform?"
"Yea. She is a family friend"
"You know her?!" Hermione asked Ron. 
"Yeah, She always gives Mum Christmas cards and cookies."
The Twins nosed into the conversation, "Yeah, Ron used to have a crush on her." Fred said, queuing George to speak as well, "You cried for days when Mum broke it to you you couldn't date her"
"I was like four, I didn't know any better!" Ron justified. 
You giggled and shook your head as you overheard the conversation, you sipped from your cup before turning to Severus, "So... I heard you fussed at Harry." 
He looked up from his food with an irritated expression, "He's just like his father."
"Have you even talked to him?"
"No. You haven't either." 
You rolled your eyes at him, "Hating him won't hurt James." you scoffed.
He just stared at his cup, you sighed, it was hard for him especially since you, him, and Albus had agreed not to talk about it with Harry and not seek out conversations about his parents and what you knew about them. You both thought it was a great disservice but agreed. Your job, with all students not just Harry was to keep them safe. But Harry seemed to have trouble following him.
You held your hands tightly together as you watched the Slytherin versus Gryffindor Quidditch match. It was the first match of the season and Harry's first-ever match. And it was not looking good for Gryffindor, they had lost their Keeper, Oliver Wood, and two of their chasers. You didn't like preferring one house over the other but you were loyal to Hufflepuff first and Gryffindor second so you were cheering them on and wearing Remus's Gryffindor scar from your school days that he had sent when you wrote to him about it in advance.
Suddenly, Harry's broom seemed to be acting weird, you looked at the people beside you, and questions of how and why were floating about. You pulled out your wand, subconsciously readying yourself to cast a spell to grab him before he hit the ground but you smelled burning from a few rows down, you saw that Snape's cloak had lit ablaze and he was stomping it out. It distracted the people in your stand from the fact Harry was now on his broom chasing the Golden Snitch. You watched as he dipped to fly just above the ground and crashed. You let out a yelp and an Aw. Harry stood up, dirty and looking as if he was going to hurl but instead of his breakfast, it was a golden sphere. Cheers erupted from everyone. Except for the Slytherins.
You were sipping your drink when Qurriel ran in, screaming about a troll, in the dungeon until he reached the end of the house tables and fainted. You stood up and grabbed your wand but Dumbledore erupted with a 'Silence'. He ordered the houses to go back to their common rooms. You hurried to the Hufflepuss tables to count heads with the Prefect and Professor Sprout. You walked with them until you noticed a pair of boys running off to the girl's bathroom. You alerted Sprout and went to get your fellow Professors.
You were packing up your personal items when you heard a knock on your door, "Come in!" you chimed, your voice rich with excitement. You had received a letter from Remus and you missed him terribly. In stepped your favorite not-yet-student, she seemed as if she too would be returning home from the holidays judging by the bag she was were and trunk you could see just outside the door. 
"Professor, can I ask you a question?"
She was a very curious girl so she was going to ask whether you said yes or no, "Of course, what is it?"
"Say... Hypothetically, if someone got caught in the restricted section, how much trouble would they be in?" 
You were surprised, "Well, Most of the time it is detention for two days but every case is different. Things such as who caught them, their reason for being there, and whether or not they broke curfew often increase or decrease the punishment. A lot of things need to be taken into account." you swished your wand, locking a few cupboards. You looked at her and saw an odd expression on her face. 
"What is it, Miss Granger? Were you expecting me to go authoritarian on you and tell you that you will be strung up near the Whoomping Willow?" 
"Sort of."
You laughed, "Oh dear, I did all sorts of things and I have a personal rule that I will not greatly punish a student for something I did unless they are doing it to purposefully cause harm to themselves or another student. What do you need from the Restricted section?"
"It isn't for me, well it kind of is but it's for Harry Potter." She said, "I won't have time to read it before time to leave." 
You sighed, "That is a problem. I am also leaving for the holidays, you know, got to get home to the family."
"Do you have kids?" she asked, looking at the picture of you and Remus on your desk. It was taken when you were at Hogwarts during your graduation. You and him were hugging and laughing because minutes before 
"No, No I don't." 
"Is he your husband?"
"Yes, he is."
"Why don't you wear a ring?"
"I have a deep fear of losing it. It was his grandmother's ring and it is a size too big for me." you pulled the necklace from under your robe. You pulled it from your neck and handed it to her.
She gently held it and looked at it before returning it to you, you put it back on and reached for your tote bag. "Well, I must be off. Have a Happy Christmas, Hermione."
"You too, Professor."
You had a gift to deliver to a special someone.
You stomped your feet off on the outside mat before knocking on the door. Your face was hurting from how hard you were smiling, you were happy to be home and happy to see Remus. You heard the door unclick and it opened to reveal your man: Remus John Lupin. You practically tackled him, squeezing as if you let go he'd slip away. You pulled back to grab your suitcase and shut the door.
"Where are the cookies?" you asked, smelling gingerbread in the air. You looked at him and noticed a weak smile instead of his iconic 'missed you' one. That meant one thing. He seemed to be in slight pain as well. You sat your suitcase down and put your hand on his forehead. 
'I am fine. They're in the oven." he said, trying to perk up. You shook your head. 
"Please go sit down at least."
"But-"
"No buts. I will finish up the cookies and I will make us dinner." You took off your coat and slipped on your house slippers that stayed by the door. He reluctantly hobbled to the couch and sat down, feeling more tired than he thought he was. He felt so guilty for being this way and depriving you of a normal holiday season. Luckily, it was almost over and he'd be all better by Christmas Eve. 
He sighed gently as he looked around the living room: It was painted by both of you, you had put up pictures and he'd organized the several bookshelves. You both had disagreed about the furniture layout at the start but you had eventually agreed on two comfy armchairs on either side of the fireplace and a three-person sofa further away, separated by a coffee table. He loved it because it was shared between him and you. Almost twelve years of memories, love, and happiness were in this house. 
He stood up and went to the kitchen to see you mixing up the icing and coloring it. He just watched for a minute until you notice him. "Rem, I thought you were going to take a rest?" 
he smiled as he walked to the plate of undecorated cookies that were cooling, "I would but fresh out of the oven gingerbread calls me." he said picking one up and blowing on it before he took a bite. You rolled your eyes. 
"We could take a small break while they cool. I really need to unpack, wash my clothes, clean up and fix this disaster," you said, pointing to your hair. He fanned his mouth as he went to the fridge and grabbed the milk, "You better n-" he popped off the cap and took a swig. You have him a look that made him and he flashed his smile, making you huff but grin. 
You and he walked through the kitchen and the living room, grabbed your suitcase, and went up the stairs to your bedroom. When you got to the bedroom, you sighed happily. It was your favorite place in the house. It was a very personal place and it was a safe place, you and he decorated every room but you took extra care with it. Remus was skilled at woodworking and made the bed frame, chest of drawers, and wardrobe. He was so good at it that he sold pieces that the house didn't need. You walked to the end and flopped down face first on the quilt your mother and you had made. You were so happy to be home. 
"So," Remus sat down beside you, "I think you should get changed into pajamas and take that nap with me. Dinner time is a social construct, we could eat at eleven at night."
You lifted your head off the bed, "I would love that but-"
"Nope, we are going to talk about your day, get cozy and take a nice long nap."
You rolled over on your back, looking up at the ceiling. "Fine. Pajamas, here I come." 
"I washed a pair fresh. They are up in the wardrobe on the right side." 
You smiled, he and you had grown accustomed to both of your quirks. He had to sleep near the door, he couldn't stand the smell or taste of uncooked tomatoes and had to cut his own hair because no one else could do it right. You had to have matching dishes, had to wear your earrings so you could fiddle with them, and couldn't stand cold floors so every room had a rug of sorts. 
You opened your wardrobe and pulled your yellow chemise-style sleep dress out and went behind the folding partition to change. Remus, having been home from work for a few hours, had already changed into his sleep clothes and house robe. He simply untied the robe and hung it on the back of the door and slipped off his slippers. He returned to the bed and folded back the covers before getting under them. You were changed at this point and were making your way to the bed, he folded back the covers for you and you slipped under them, exhaustion filling you. You had been up for hours since you were too excited to sleep, the long train ride didn't help and it was always comforting when you laid on your own bed, in your own house with something better than a pillow to snuggle up with. Speaking of that, Remus had looped an arm around you and pulled you closer.
"How have you been? Despite what your letters said, I know it's stressful."
You sighed, "It's very stressful but I love it. I love the students and my fellow staff though some of the students drive me up the wall. I had to save Draco from a pit, Harry nearly died during a quidditch match, Ron falls asleep in the halls, Hermione is going to go grey by the time she's sixteen, and my poor boy Neville is terrified of his own shadow." 
He laughed, "Sounds like a fun group. Picked a favorite?"
"I don't pick favorites."
"It's Hermione, isn't it."
"Don't tell a soul but yes. She reminds me of myself at her age."
"Oh dear lord, she must be insufferable."
"Aw, shush! You decided to marry me so I couldn't have been that annoying and she is a very nice kid!" you swatted at him, making him laugh again. A comforting silence fell over the two of you. You missed him so much that just being around him seemed to ease the stress and make you feel as if nothing in the world could ever be going awry. You missed when it was like this and you wished it could stay like this forever.
You were calmly sitting in the infirmary, gently whispering a story to Harry. You got intense flashbacks to you rocking him and re-telling him Rumplesteelskin. You smiled to yourself as you also thought about James and Lily. You brushed some hair out of the boy's eyes to keep him asleep a while longer. 
"You should not do this to yourself." you heard a voice say. You raised and straightened up. 
"Albus, You know that I have to. He will need those memories to know he was loved. They are precious and I have so much to tell him." You looked at him, "I was lucky enough to have known them and now, I have been trusted with the ones he'll need and I will protect him from the ones he won't." 
The old man's eyes grew soft behind the half-crescent moon spectacles. "I understand but it is important that Harry, the best he can, has a normal life."
You laughed sarcastically, "We are wizards and he is strange even for one of us. Normal isn't in the cards." 
He grinned, "Let us walk. He needs rest." He turned and you stood and strode to him, turning to make sure the boy was still asleep. You closed the door gently.
"You miss them, dear friend. I know. You feel an obligation to be just as friendly with Harry as you were with them." He said.
"Obligation? No, not really. I see it as a courtesy. I, in a way, feel as if I stole their time together." you said, looking sadly at the ground.
"No. You gave them more with what you did."
"Tell us where you bitch!" one of them called out, blasting you with another painful beam. You cried out in pain. It was the third time and you felt as if you were going to break your bones from how violently you were thriving about like a trapped snake. 
"I- No! Nev-" The spell hit you again and you let out another ear-piercing scream.
"I don't like to think of that." you said, feeling a certain word they cut into you and let scar down your back. 'Mudblood.'
You were sitting in your chair, to the left of Severus when Dumbledore stood to announce the winner of the House Cup. You smiled as you looked to the Slytherin table; while you hadn't been a Slytherin, you loved some of the students in the house, and your work best friend and actual friend, Severus was the Head of Slytherin. Of course, you weren't expecting Dumbledore to begin awarding last-minute house points. You couldn't help but laugh, which you covered politely with your cloth napkin when Gryffindor stole it right from under them. 
"Professor?"
"Yes, Miss Granger?" You said, walking with the class to the train with Hagrid as he had a habit of trailing after lost pets and not watching students. 
"Do you think I could take your class next year? I heard you can make special recommendations."
You laughed a little bit, "Not two hours since your first year ended and you are already thinking about your next one." 
"Well, I miss it already." 
You smiled, "I know. I call it First-Year Syndrome. Had it myself. "
Harry looked at you, "What were you like as a first year, Professor?"
You sighed, pleasant memories coming back. "I was a very studious girl but I had my fair share of mischievous irks. I also was a sucker for a bribe, which I would not recommend you all be." 
You looked at the three children and you seemed to get a premonition about them. You knew you'd see them again, yes but you knew they'd been seen together a lot. Harry is brave, and caring but has a thirst to know who he is and be who he wants, not caring about anything else. He reminded you of Sirius. Ron, although he could be stirred onto a different path, he was always here. He reminded you of Peter. So did his rat, kind of. You watched them get on the train and watched as it pulled out of the station, leaving you and Hagrid. 
"You know what?"
"Whot?"
You felt as if James and Lily surrounded you and waved goodbyes well.
"I am getting a slight feeling of deja vu."
"I personally think it's a stupid idea," you said at the staff meeting. 
"No one said it was ours nor that we get a say. It's what we, as a school, have been asked to do." Dumbledore said. 
"I am with Professor Lupin. Why should we be expected to implore the aid of those creatures? If we need more help, Albus, we should do some more measures to protect them, yes but those things have a mind of their own. We could increase night duties, and protective spells and strictly enforce the curfew and maybe a buddy system!" Professor McGonagall said. 
"I know. I really do have my hands tied. I rather not have them here but I fear what would happen if they aren't. We must return to our classes, students will arriving soon. We will talk about this next free period." He said. With a mixed grumble of approval and disapproval, they walked out, leaving you. 
"Albus." you said, walking to his desk, "You know-"
"Professor Lupin. I can't do anything more." 
You frowned "You know he's innocent! Why have you not said anything!" you said. 
"Because of reasons."
You huffed, "An innocent man spent years in a literal hell for your reasons!" 
He just looked at you, the look that let you know you weren't going to get anywhere with him.
"Professor Lupin, let's change the subject." he said with a smile, "How do you feel about having another Professor Lupin teaching here?" 
You sighed, "We'll talk about Sirius later and I am," you paused, smile growing, "Rather excited." 
You were in the Great Hall, watching the Sorting Ceremony. You glanced at your husband, who was fiddling with his shirt. He knew DUmbledore was going to make him stand. You gently touched his thigh, making him look at you. You gave a comforting smile and a thumbs-up under the table. He gave a scribbled smile as the last name was called. 
Dumbledore told the students of what you and several other teachers were despising, The Dementor Division. They would be guarding the grounds of the castle but would not interfere with activities or lessons. You clenched your jaw, 'Of course, they won't...until it suits them."
He then introduced your lover, He awkwardly stood up and leaned a little bit. He hated being pointed out to a huge crowd. You clapped as he sat back down. Finally, dinner had begun, your eyes caught that of your favorite set of Twins, they did a kissy face at you and you raised your eyebrow at them. You then saw Hermione who was looking at you, then to her friends. You smiled to yourself as you raised up your cup. Remus leaned to whisper something to you, making you laugh. 
"Aww! They're so cute!" Hermione said. 
"Do you think he's a good teacher?" Harry asked, ladling out some of the soup. 
"I think he will be. Apparently, he was up for Head Boy when he was here." Hermione said. 
"He's been here less than an hour and you already know everything about him!" Ron said, eating a chicken leg. 
"She told me about him. They really love each other from what she told me." 
Fred decided to join the conversation, "The Lupins are very sweet, even on their own so it makes sense that they would be perfect for each other. Though, Remus is a lot more reserved than his lovely wife."
"It's gonna get confusing calling them both Professor Lupin, innit?" George said. 
Nevile, who was overhearing this, chimed in agreement "What if you mean on Lupin but you mean the other?"
Harry shrugged his shoulders, "I guess we're going to have to use their first names too. Professor Remus Lupin. She gets plain 'Professor Lupin' privilege because she was first." 
You were cutting a piece of cake from the black forest cherry one that had appeared, you handed it to Remus. He thanked you as he raised his fork to it and cut a piece off of his slice and held it up to you, you ate it and smiled. 
"We will need to thank the House Elves later. All of it was lovely," you said, watching the student's dishes slowly disappear as they finished. 
You and Remus finished your cake and stood up, he held out his arm for you to take. You did so and you two walked out the side door and out to the small foot path that took you around to the courtyard. You softly sighed as you both walked. 
"Did you miss this place?" you asked. 
"I did. I am happy you talked me into this."
"I told you my ideas are always good." 
He rolled his eyes lightly. "Not always. But most of the time." 
You laughed and he just looked at you, your sweet smile and lovely laugh. He looked into your eyes as the two of you walked. Enjoying each other. You looked up at the moon, it was Waning.
You and Remus had agreed to walk with a group of students to Hogsmeade. Remus had recovered from a full moon and finally felt like going out places. His chocolate stash was running low and you were going to get ingredients to make toffee. 
"Draco!" You yelled, "Leave that boy alone!" 
He was bothering Neville. You sighed as you walked to the boy, Remus following you. 
"Thanks Professor." 
"No problem, Where are your friends?" 
The nervous boy rambled on about Honeydukes and how everyone always hung out in there instead of going to other places as he walked back to it. 
You watched him go before looking at Remus, "Well, a little someone told me about the Boggart incident." 
"Harry-"
"No, Neville. What you did was sweet."
"What did I do?" He said, grinning.
"You know."
"He is a good student and I was merely showing him that."
You looked at Remus, a gentle snow falling around him. "You are so sweet."
"You would've done the same." 
You and he talked a little more until you stopped and pointed at the ground, mysterious footprints were appearing in the snow. You were about to run to the footprints when Remus grabbed your shoulder and pointed to two familiar students: Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. You stilled as you watched them try to follow the cause of the footprints. You looked at him, "You don't think that he has the," your voice lowered to a whisper, "the cloak?" 
"It's the only thing I can think of that would allow him to do that." he said, watching the door attentively.
"Out of all the bloody possible heirlooms." you groaned lightly. 
Remus looked at you, "Well, I guess we wait out like how they are. What on earth could he want from in there?" 
"Your guess is just as good as mine." 
You both waited for about fifteen minutes, talking with each other about all the things you both got up to during your days with the cloak. You stood up when you saw Ron and Hermione stand and follow what Remus guessed were the footprints. You followed the group until Remus tapped your shoulder and pointed to the path you guys used to take to sneak to Hogsmeade. You both ran up the path and by the time you got to the edge of the treeline on the other side, harry had taken off the cloak and was talking to Ron and Hermione. 
"He was their friend!" the boy yelled out. You looked at Remus and saw on his face that he knew exactly who the boy was talking about. Sirius. 
You were brushing your hair as Remus paced the room. His thoughts were radiating out and you could almost feel anger, confusion, and a drip of helplessness. You turned away from the mirror. "Remus. You're going to make holes in the rug." You stood up and walked to where the man had now stilled. 
"I am sorry." 
"There's nothing to be sorry about." 
"It's unfair. How are we expected to just sit around and listen to all the rumors about our friend! He wouldn't take it if it was one of us." he grabbed his cardigan and walked to the door. 
"Remus? What are you doing?"
"I am going to tell Dumbledore exactly what needs to be done."

I absolutely adore your characterizations in Lionheart. Who has been the ‘easiest’ or most natural character to write, and conversely which character have you struggled the most with?
ooh, a fun one. so the answer's actually changed! right now, the most natural character to write is easily Draco (thank GOD, right?) i've developed the kind of intimacy with his brain in that special way that only spending 500,000 words and five years with someone can. it's at the point where I can basically just go, "what would Draco do here?" and have an immediate gut-check answer, which is great, and really speeds up the writing process. but in the beginning, he was much harder! I knew I had to sell people on this version of him that was already very far removed from canon, but couldn't be too OOC, or he'd just feel like some random pureblood Gryffindor OC. specifically, he needed to be bratty, cowardly and cruel, and yet also the kind of person the Golden Trio would conceivably befriend. all this had to happen while also being an eleven-year-old boy.
Hermione, in contrast, came much easier when she was younger. Baby Granger is nothing more or less than the world's nerdiest, bossiest, try-harding-est twelve-year-old, which i found fairly easy to write because i happen to have held that title myself. in later books, inversely, she's been much harder, because i have to convey more with less. Hermione hates talking about her emotions, for one, and even though draco knows her well, there's a lot about her he doesn't and can't understand, so i as the author am limited in my toolset for expressing what she's thinking. like, one of my biggest frustrations in book 4 was that hermione is almost assuredly having insanely complicated feelings At All Times about the Ministry of Magic and her muggle-born identity, but because draco's main coping mechanism for the situation is Don't Think About It. while we get some of it — get as much as I can cram in, frankly, without just dumping hermione in a therapist's chair and forcing her to digress — we don't get nearly as much as I would like. but hey, you know, at some point you have to throw in the towel and admit your story can't do everything. gotta leave something for the other writers, greedy.
the hardest character to write is and ever was Narcissa Malfoy, because she walks this fine line of sophistication and brutality, domesticity and professionalism, meticulous control and helpless madness. she's a woman of contradictions, and trying to weave that all together without losing sight of her, or making her flat, is a pretty draining exercise. i find myself procrastinating scenes with Narcissa, even though i love writing her, just because i know she's going to make me work for it.

Halloween Fics 2023:
Adoration by flowerfem - E, 31 chapters - Hermione needed time out of Wizarding London and a move to the English countryside in the Fall was just what she wanted. Upon discovering Draco Malfoy was her neighbor, running an apple orchard next door, she realized she had no idea what she wanted. The season was sure to hold rainy days, carved pumpkins, and of course some magic. Buckle up for some fluffy, cozy Dramione goodness. Brief appearances by our favorite Slytherins and Gryffindors. This does get a little angsty in the middle, but rest assured this is HEA at its finest. (pumpkin) Spice throughout but chapters will be marked that have smut. Written for Flufftober Challenge 2023; new post every day of October

Pure fluffy humor and Halloween fun as Draco Malfoy is *forced* to attend a Muggle Haunted House with his son.

P.S. The way I talk about chronic pain in this is from personal experience. Not all of us experience the same thing. I assume those who suffer along with me know that, but for those who don’t/those without a chronic “issue”: please remember your experiences/ideas of what it’s “really” like are not universal. Be nice, thanks.
______________________________________________________________
That's a wrap! We want to give a HUGE shout out to our creators who worked so so hard to make this happen, we are so proud of you, and we hope you will join us again next year!

Hi Liv! I was wondering if you have a rec list already where either Draco or Harry struggle with alcoholism? I have read maybe like one before, but I couldn't find it again. I've been sober for almost 4 years now, but things are super stressful and that makes me stupid sometimes. Idk, it just helps, reading about my favourite pair. Anyways, thank you if you have any that you might wanna rec, and if not, thank you anyways, I really enjoy your blog, I always find some great fics through your recs💞 Hope you have a lovely day!🫶✨
Hi anon! Congrats on being sober for almost 4 years, you’re doing great 💜 I’m sorry things have been hard lately, I hope the recs help. I’m very particular about addition in fic so I haven’t read much or often, but I do have some recs for you. Maybe my followers can share more?
again, for the first time by @aibidil (E, 14k)
Five times Draco lied about why he wasn't drinking, and one time he gave an honest answer. Or, a love letter to sobriety.
War Wounds by SilentAuror (E, 30k)
Some wounds take longer to recover from than others. HP/DM, with background HP/GW. Themes of alcoholism, love triangles, and dubious fidelity.
Dreaming Darkly by @quicksilvermaid (E, 39k)
It's five years after the war, and Harry is not okay. He hates his job. He hates Robards. He hates Ron's promotions and Hermione's concern. He chases oblivion in booze and weed and quick dirty fucks, but it's never enough.
Take A Chance On Me by @mintawasalreadytaken (E, 41k)
There's a DJ on RareFM with a secret. Or: the one with all the ABBA in it.
Polar Night/Midnight Sun by toomuchplor (E, 54k)
Harry travels to arctic Norway on the trail of dragon egg poachers, only to find he's been assigned to work alongside the only NorMagPol Auror north of sixty: one Draco Malfoy. It's been ten years since they crossed paths, and Malfoy isn't exactly what Harry expected or remembered. For one thing, he wears a lot more hand-knits?
Lemon Colour, Honey Glow by @thusspoketrish (E, 67k)
Over a series of unfortunate pub nights at the Leaky Cauldron, Draco Malfoy falls in love. A story about finding strength and forgiveness in unlikely places.
Unhook the Stars by jad (E, 70k)
Seventy-thousand words of pornographic discourse between two boys-turned-men that still haven't learned how to communicate like normal people – with words. Guest appearances by Pansy Parkinson, Neville Longbottom, Hermione Granger, Blaise Zabini, Teddy Lupin, Gregory Goyle, the Weird Sisters, ex-wives, several Weasleys, a Boggart, and a Honey Badger.
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.
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.
Dwelling on Dreams by @the-sinking-ship (E, 135k)
Draco thought he could avoid Potter for the duration of his brief return to England. He’d stick to his schedule and be back home in Paris, where he belonged, in a few short months. No trouble at all. He had plenty to occupy him, what with the opening of the London branch of his successful apothecary, his innovative research, drinks with Pansy, a backlog of unread potions periodicals.
Number Seven by sara_holmes (M, 253k)
Harry already has small children, an ex-wife, annoying colleagues and an international crime ring to deal with. So when Draco Malfoy reappears after eight years AWOL in France, of course Harry is going to leave him well alone...Right?
Whatever You Want, Draco Malfoy by @dorthyanndrarry (E, WIP)
Draco lost his home and the only society he knew after the war. He ended up living in the muggle world, making new friends and new connections and maybe some sort of peace. Even if that peace was usually found at the bottom of a bottle. It was enough for him. He was content to just exist. Then Harry Potter decided to ruin everything.

I am delighted reading the answers to the ship name game. I am sorry for the number of questions that I have filled in your inbox with. What do you think about Molly/Narcissa, Fleur/Ginny, Hermione/Luna (you once mentioned that they both have a similar stubborness and can quite rigid belief systems and intellectual inflexibility and Sybil/Rita- love the idea of a office romance where Sybil does the astrology column of a pop culture spinoff of The Prophet
thank you so much for the ask, pal - and i love receiving these, so please don't apologise!
narcissa malfoy/molly weasley
so, i genuinely back this one - like lucius and arthur and ron and draco, narcissa and molly are narrative mirrors, and narrative mirror pairings always slap.
above all, one key area of their mirroring is that they're simultaneously central to their family's arc across the canon series, and yet also excluded from their family more generally by the narrative.
molly, for example, lacks the daring streak which characterises the rest of her family who appear in the main cast of the series, is much more interested in social convention, and is estranged from the child with whom she is most aligned [percy] for much of the series; she isn't a quidditch fan [there's no conceivable reason why she wouldn't come to the world cup if she was]; she doesn't seem to have any friends or connections that she doesn't also share with arthur [whereas he seems to be genuinely popular among his colleagues at the ministry]; and she is almost never seen outside of a domestic context - and when she is, it's usually while shopping or doing other activities which are adjacent to the domestic sphere.
narcissa gets less development because she's a more minor character, but she clearly lacks the rebellious streak which both bellatrix and andromeda must possess in order to defy the wizarding world's gendered conventions so openly; she's not a death eater, unlike her husband and son, and is therefore excluded from both lucius and draco's main social circle; she doesn't appear to have any friends outside of her family that she doesn't know through lucius; and she too is found in canon primarily in a domestic or domestic-adjacent context.
i think that both narcissa and molly must, therefore, be quite lonely, and i think that something really quite interesting can be done with that - especially in a post-war setting, with narcissa trying to come to terms with the fact that the defiance of voldemort she set in motion ended with molly killing her sister.
fleur delacour/ginny weasley
ginny spending most of half-blood prince acting up about how fleur thinks she's so hot and so interesting is definitely giving bisexual awakening.
fleur letting ginny wear a really low-cut dress at her wedding - and not being bothered in the slightest that this results in ginny's rack being given a shoutout to the entire congregation by muriel - is also giving bisexual and interested.
i back it.
hermione granger/luna lovegood
flopping - she'd never stop going on about that damn erumpet ["luna it is not a snorcack!"] horn.
rita skeeter/sybill trelawney
i really, really back this one as something genuine.
both rita and sybill’s lives are based in pure artifice. their careers hang on an ability to know things - sybill to predict the future, rita to be informed about the top news stories of the day - which neither of them actually possess. sybill is a fraud. rita is a hack.
and that must be very lonely. which means that meeting someone else who shares that experience…
plus, both of them are characters who fall foul of jkr’s loathing of women whose appearance and demeanour deviates from her extremelynarrow criteria for acceptable femininity - sybill because she looks spacey and gaudy, rita because she decks herself out in glamorous frivolities - her nails! her handbags! - which can’t mask the fact that she looks ‘manly’ […!]. jkr’s opinions on gender can get fucked, and the women she spends the series obviously loathing getting fucked by each other is one way to achieve this.
