------------------------------------
Narcissa dragged the crying, uncooperative boy into the study by the arm, tugging firmly when he squirmed yet again and redoubled his sobbing, digging in his feet on the carpet.
"Lucius, if you're going to punish him," she gritted out between her teeth, "you deal with it."
Lucius glanced up mildly from his papers. "Just leave him in his room."
"If that worked, I would have done it," she snapped. "It has been three hours. Either let him go or keep him yourself." She pushed Draco up beside the desk. He squirmed in her hands to try to turn away, but she held him firmly.
The look he gave her was indulgent; he didn't think this was necessary, but if she was demanding it... He turned toward the end of the desk and crossed his legs. "Draco."
Draco faced him with his head hanging, refusing to look, clumsy hands clutching and yanking at the front of his shirt, still sobbing. There were no actual tears, of course; he'd been 'crying' so long that he'd used them all up, and left just the emotion and the noise.
"Draco," he repeated severely, and the boy squirmed his face away into his shoulder. "Why are you crying?"
He yanked hard on his clothes. "It hurts!" he yelled.
"No, it doesn't," he corrected patiently. The boy didn't really have the words; he wasn't quite four, so it was reasonable, he supposed. A little disappointing, though. "It feels bad. That isn't pain."
"No! It hurts!"
"Are you talking back to me?"
Draco flinched and sobbed harder.
Lucius tapped his foot lightly. Draco squirmed to resist and when he figured out he couldn't, that his mother was still blocking him from running away, he flung himself down on the floor at his father's feet with a petulant sob.
"Why does it feel bad?"
"Because you're mad at me!" he wailed. Above him, Narcissa pressed her eyes closed and took a deep, sharp breath, rubbing her temple.
"No, I am not," he corrected calmly. "If I were angry with you, it would be pain." Not intentionally, of course; it wasn't as though he would be, say, Crucioing him. But the magic that bound them together responded to emotion. "I am disappointed."
"I'm sorry!"
"Don't beg," he said coolly. "You are a Malfoy." His disapproval naturally heightened the unpleasant feeling playing through Draco's nerves, and the boy shrieked and kicked at the floor.
"Lucius," Narcissa said tightly. "This is unbearable. You should have either activated this curse years ago, or waited until he was old enough to be reasonable."
"It isn't a curse," he said mildly.
"It is a curse to me," she snapped. "This is not 'handling it'."
"You have to be patient. It is a process. Draco." The boy flinched at the sound of his name, and he didn't care for that. "Look at me."
Draco shook his head wildly. Lucius patiently put his foot out to stop the motion of his head, then when he got him still, laid his toe under his chin and turned his face up to make him look. "Good," he said, the mildest of praise. "That feels better, doesn't it?"
"No," he sniffled petulantly.
"Yes, it does," he corrected. He knew it did; Draco was hardly the first Malfoy boy to be bound by this spell. It had existed in their family so long it wasn't even really a spell, per se, but some of that 'old magic' that seemed built into the fabric of the world. He knew exactly how Draco felt. But Draco was such a stubborn and wildly emotional child who seemed to revel in his sulking, he wouldn't even admit to relief. "Do you know why it feels better?"
"No..."
"Because you did as I said. Do you understand?"
Draco sniffled without responding.
"Do something I don't like..." he prompted.
He squirmed and tried to take his head back, but Lucius kept his foot under his jaw so he couldn't. "It feels bad," Draco finally said in a small voice.
"Good. And to feel better..."
"Do as you say..."
"Correct." He took his foot back. "If you ever manage to please me, it will feel good." It wasn't easy to obtain, but the feel of your father's pride was intoxicating. They'd see if Draco ever managed it.
Draco sat down firmly on his butt and sniffled again.
Lucius tapped the floor with his foot again for his attention. "What do I want you to do?"
"I don't know," he sniffled petulantly.
"I told you."
"I don't know!"
Well, he was young. He supposed he couldn't hold too many things in his mind for that long. "I want you to thank me properly."
It was a classic test. Moreover, it was a highly effective trial, for them. Malfoy boys were so proud -- as they should be, of course -- that they had to really commit to do any such thing. It helped them understand their place, and effectively demonstrated the possible rewards for doing what their father wanted instead of what their instincts were telling them.
Draco yanked at his shirt again, looking up at him with big, wet eyes.
"Say 'thank you'."
"Thank you..." Draco echoed.
"'Sir'."
"Sir." He tapped his foot on the carpet, and Draco looked at it, then back up at him. "Thank you, sir?" he repeated tenatively.
He didn't need to smile at that; the way Draco gasped when the unpleasant feeling abruptly transmuted to a good, warming tingle that couldn't properly be described said it all. The sobbing and sniffling stopped as suddenly as if they were an act he forgot he was putting on.
He was actually surprised, himself, at how satisfying it felt to be on the receiving end of that submission. He wondered for the first time if perhaps the ancient magic went both ways.
"Finally," Narcissa sighed. "I am going to have a nap. Don't make him cry again if you can help it."
"I doubt you have to worry." He turned back to his desk, and glanced down at Draco. He was looking up at him now with a sort of wonder. "You can stay," he said magnanimously.

Heirs of Hogwarts | part 1
Genre(s): Nuisance to Lovers / Fake dating / Fluff / No Voldy au
Fandom(s): Harry Potter
Pairing(s): Mattheo Riddle x Hufflepuff!Reader
Summary: After finding out your (now ex)boyfriend cheated on you with the girl he told you not to worry about, you decide to get into a fake relationship with the kid of another founder of Hogwarts. What could go wrong?
Warning(s): Cheating boyfriend (Matt could never) / Matt is a cheeky shit
A/n: Kinda tried something new with the notes. Lmk if you like/dislike it
[Masterlist] [part 2] [part 3]
There is a certain expectation that comes with having a well-known surname. People expect you to act in a way that befits a Malfoy, Abbott, Prewett or any other name on the Sacred Twenty-Eight list. And while there is no person left who carries the Gaunt name anymore, a Riddle is as good as a Gaunt in the eyes of the Pure-Blood community.
The one thing nobody realises that also carries on for the ones who are literally Wizarding World royalty. Like you. A Hufflepuff. No, not like the house. But your surname is literally Hufflepuff. Helga Hufflepuff is your great-grandmother many times over. And it sucks.
You're expected to be the embodiment of Hufflepuff House. Be kind, be ready to help everyone who asks, be patient, be humble, be just, be good at Herbology. You hate Herbology! The dirt under your nails. The smell of the classroom. The way magical plants are not really safe for children to be around. I mean... hello? Mandrakes? Yeah, didn't think so.
And it's not like you're not all those things. You are kind, you do help others when asked, you are humble, maybe not as patient as you should be, and just. Just not all the time.
Like right now. Right now you are not patient with Hannah and Susan for hogging the bathroom. You've slept like shit and you are hungry. So, you've decided to go to breakfast without them and have them join you later. You can always brush your teeth after breakfast
As you walk across the common room, you greet your Great-Grandmother in passing. "Morning, Meemaw."
"Good morning my little Badger!", she calls after you cheerfully, earning a couple snickers from your housemates. You choose to ignore them and make your trek up the stairs in silence, giving every student who greets you a polite smile.
You don't even know half the people who call out your name when you pass them. They don't even use your name. Just a variation of Hufflepuff. Huff. Puff. Badger. Queen Badger — you really hate that one. You nearly punched a guy for calling you the Top Notch Yellow One. But to be fair, you were in an abysmal mood that day.
By now you've got a pro at tuning out the stares when you walk into the Great Hall. It's mostly the first years who stare at you with wide eyes and mouths agape once they learn who you are.
You plop down at a free spot and start to plate up some food and pour in juice. Just as you're mid-sip, you feel someone loom over you.
"Good morning", gets whispered in your ear before your boyfriend takes a seat next to you.
You hum and slump against his shoulder. Malcolm pats your head as he knows that is the best attempt at getting a response from you before you've got a semblance of food in your stomach.
Malcolm Preece and you have been dating for almost a year now. He's a year above you and on the Quidditch team. Your friends don't really like him — and if you are completely honest with yourself neither do you. He's too possessive. He always needs to know where you are and with whom. It also drives you absolutely up the walls.
It has always been expected of you to be in a respectable relationship by the sixth year. Even non-Slytherin families have that kind of pressure. Surprising hmm? You needed your parents off your back and Malcolm was there. Do you feel bad for the guy? Yeah, of course. And it's not like you don't care about him but it's more an obligation; the kissing and the touches and the handholding.
"Guess what", you grumble, whipping your mouth. Malcolm hums as he butters his bread. "My first class of the day is Herbology."
Malcolm laughs and shakes his head. He places a kiss on your hair before saying, "I know. You've been whining about it all last evening. Is there absolutely nothing you can find to enjoy about the subject. Or why don't you ask Sprout if you can drop the course?"
You give him a look. "You know I can't do that. Everybody in my family graduated top of their class and I am not about to be the first one of my siblings to royally piss off my parents. Amelia came close when she almost dropped Meemaw's cup."
Your boyfriend laughs but doesn't say anything else. Because your hate for Herbology doesn't come from your general dislike of dirt. It comes from the first thing you see when you walk into the glasshouse.
You share many classes with other houses. You also share many classes with Slytherin. That also means you share many classes with Mattheo Riddle. He's a pompous prat who likes to make your days worse for absolutely no reason.
Normally you sit on the other side of the classroom and ignore him and his friends. He's not above pulling your hair or bumping against you in the hallways. It's petty. And you have no idea why or how it started in the first place.
Herbology is the only class you actually have to interact with Mattheo. For the others you usually sit with Hannah or Susan. But Professor Sprout wanted to hustle up the usual groups and pair random students with each other. That's how you got stuck with Mattheo.
"What is it, princess? Scared a little mud will ruin your manicure?", he says with a shit-eating grin as you put on gardening gloves. You shoot him a glare but continue to tend to you Fluxweed.
"Looks like your Fluxweed can use a little manicure." You give a pointed look at the sad sprig that used to be a plant and continue to do your own thing. "That reminds me, we have to finish our report on Fluxweed. Do you have any time this week? I mean, between your busy schedule of pestering first years and tripping up Neville Longbottom."
You hear a snicker behind you. Hannah holds up her hand to her mouth to stifle her laughter and you wink at her while Mattheo sends her a scalding glare.
"Sure", sneers Mattheo, "if you have any room between tea parties and snogging that sad sack you call a boyfriend."
"I don't have-", you want to interject but you know it has no use. Only if Professor Sprout wouldn't be hoovering around you all the time you would have 'accidentally' stomped on his feet.
You turn your back towards him and walk towards the supply closet, searching for a pair of shears. But Professor Sprout keeps them on the top shelf. As you want to grab your wand, a hand suddenly tugs at the ribbon in your hair.
With a gasp, you whip around and you are met with Mattheo's chest, his tie hanging loosely around his neck. He gives you a bored look before turning around and walking back towards his table.
You shake your head and turn around. When you want to Accio the shears to you, you see that they've been placed on the shelve at eye height. Huh.
Once your classes before lunch are finally over you walk out of the classroom with a smile as you spot Malcolm waiting for you. But your smile soon falters at the person standing next to him. Gladys Prescott stands way too close to your boyfriend. She's twirling a lock of hair with her finger as she laughs obnoxiously at one of Malcolm's jokes. They're great, but not that funny.
When you first started dating Malcolm you voiced your questions about his and Gladys' relationship. You were under the impression that they were dating because of how close they were. You and your friends were surprised when he asked you out on a Hogsmeade date.
The worst thing is that Malcolm swears nothing's going on between the two. That they're just friends. But the way he looks at her and treats her makes you glower. It's not that you're jealous. Just... you don't want to get berated by your parents for choosing the wrong partner.
"Ready?", you plaster on a wide smile, clutching your books in your hands.
Gladys and Malcolm look like they are snapped out of their little world before Malcolm registers that it's you and he returns your smile. "You don't mind if Gly joins us, do you?"
You turn to the girl, who gives you a fake ass big smile. "Of course not. The more the merrier! Now, tell me about your morning."
The two of them speak more to each other and don't bother to include you. Resting your chin on your hand, you look around the Great Hall. Susan and Hannah are doing their Prefect duties so they are unable to join you for lunch.
Tuning out Malcolm and Gladys, your eyes flicker to the other students who are enjoying their lunch. You suddenly make eye contact with Mattheo over at the Slytherin table. He raises his brows at you. You mimic his expression before continuing with your surveying. But when you look back he's still looking at you.
His expressionless eyes flicker towards your boyfriend and Gladys before back to you. He raises a single eyebrow at you, silently asking if you tolerate it.
You send him a pinched look back before zoning back into the conversation. Malcolm and Gladys are laughing loudly and Gladys has a hand clasped over his. The hold on your fork tightens and you swear you feel it bend in your hold.
You stand up abruptly. Gladys and Malcolm pull their hands away like they're burned and look up at you. "I'm... I have to ask Professor Slughorn something before class begins." You think up the excuse on the spot.
"Oh... Do you want me to walk you..?" Malcolm looks at you with big eyes.
But you shake your head. "No. I wouldn't want to pull you away from your fascinating conversation." You give Gladys a sickly sweet smile, which she doesn't return.
Instead of making a left once you leave the Great Hall, you keep on walking until you're at the edge of the forest. You survey if nobody's following you. With a deep breath, you crouch down and feel your bones and skin snap and pull.
One thing that nobody seems to know about Helga Hufflepuff is that she is a born Animagus. And she has given the ability to transform into a badger at will to all her descendants. The Ministry knows about it and every Hufflepuff descendant gets tested at age ten. By then most children are already used to the transformation.
And you love it. It helps you clear your head and release frustration. As of late you've been doing it a lot more.
Your little legs move easily over the forest floor towards your little burrow. You know, the Dark Forest isn't that scary when you're one of the animals. Mostly because you know which sides of the forest you need to dodge. Badgers are vicious but spiders are a paint in the butt.
The afternoon is spent frolicking in flower fields, munching on berries and nuts, and reinforcing the little stick bridges you made for your fellow badgers and woodland creatures over the many rivers that pass through the forest.
By the time you return to the castle, it's already dark and you're tired. You want to curl up in your bed and hear about Susan and Hannah's day.
But something stops you in your way when you pass a dorm. A whiney, feminine voice comes from Malcolm's room. Gladys. "For how long do you have to pretend to like that stuck-up brat?"
You inch closer to the door and peer between the crack. Malcolm and Gladys are on his bed, her between his legs and they're pecking each other's lips, naked. Your chest tightens at this display of intimacy Malcolm never wanted to show you. Too 'old-school'. Or so he claimed.
Malcolm hums. "I know, Pookie. But next year I'm graduated and I want a good job. If I manage to sit it out any longer Mr Hufflepuff might recommend me for a good position at the Ministry."
Anger bubbles from within you and you turn around, marching out of the common room. You ignore the calls of your name and keep on walking until you're outside and on one of the old defence walls of the school. Your thinking spot.
It doesn't hurt that he is cheating on you. You weren't blind. What hurts is that he is using you to get further in life. He's just like the others.
Your shoulders tense up at the sound of someone making them up the stairs and the smell of cigarettes. Great. You really need him to bother you right now.
Mattheo halts once he spots you sitting between the battlements, your feet dangling off the edge. He blows out a puff of smoke before sitting next to you. Out of politeness, he offers his cigarette. He doesn't expect you to accept it and take a drag.
"I didn't know you smoked", muses Mattheo as he watches you blow out the smoke mesmerised.
You glance at him while giving the cigarette back. "I don't."
The two of you stay silent, neither of you wanting or knowing what to talk about. Until it's Mattheo who breaks the silence. "What has the pretty Princess so stressed?"
"I'm not stressed." You opt to ignore the princess part for your sanity.
"Sure. And I can't talk to snakes. You're destroying your nailbeds", he points out and you look down. Your fingers are picking at the skin around your thumbnails. You've managed to make it bleed.
Sticking your thumb in your mouth to suck the blood away, you stare defiantly at the darkness that envelops the forbidden forest. "Malcolm's been cheating on me", you say after some contemplating, eyeing the Slytherin boy next to you.
Mattheo raises one brow unimpressed. "What?", he asks when you give him a look, "do I have to act surprised?" He dramatically fake gasps. "Oh, my Merlin! He did not!" He impersonates an American Valley Girl while covering his mouth with his hand.
You roll your eyes annoyed. Of course, you shouldn't have brought up the subject to Mattheo fucking Riddle. "Forget it if you're going to be a dick about it." You push yourself up and dust off your hands.
But Mattheo's hand around your wrist stops you and he leans back, his eyes somewhat apologetic. "No, don't go. I'm sorry. How did you find out?"
This time you raise your eyebrows. Mattheo Riddle never apologises. What in the...
Against your better judgment, you sit back, your hands folded in your lap. "I just came back and I heard him talk about it with Gladys. How he wants my dad to give him a good job when he graduates." You take a deep breath, the nicotine tickling your nose. "I had a hunch he was fooling around with her. But using me, that hurts, you know?"
He nods as you glance at him. Mattheo knows. He, just like you, is used to people only talking to or befriending him because they want something from him. They think getting in his good graces gets them somewhere. Absolutely not.
"You knew?"
You hum. Your fingers start to attack your nailbeds again as you think back to the many times you've had to bite your tongue. To keep face in front of the others at school. "I needed someone to keep my parents off my back. My parents expect all of us to have a steady partner by our sixth year. My siblings did it, but only the oldest actually had a girlfriend. The twins just told me to find someone to play the part."
A groan escapes you as you bury your hands in your face. "And now someone will rat to their parents about my break-up, who in turn tell my parents and then I'll get a stern letter about my future. This whole break-up is more an irritation than a heartache."
The Slytherin boy next to you is deadly silent. Why would you be so stupid to air your grievance to him? It's not like he cares. Standing up for real this time, you give him a curt nod. "Thank you for listening, Riddle. Best not to mention our meet-up with anyone, alright? Goodnight."
You make your way back towards your dorm and crash into your bed. Pressing your face against your pillow, you try your hardest to forget today.
But as suspected, sleep doesn't come easily. Or not at all. And you feel like a zombie walking towards breakfast, your friends giving you worried looks after you explained what happened last night — minus the Mattheo part.
"I swear if one more busybody comes up to you to say they're sorry", grumbles Hannah as she gives the students around you glares. She balls up her fists and punches the air in front of her. You and Susan chuckle while students around you look at her weirdly.
It's the worst when you enter the Great Hall. The general breakfast noise quiets as your peers start to whisper when you pass them. You keep your eyes focused on a far-off point until you are at your usual breakfast spot.
The three of you eat mostly in silence. Hannah and Susan try to engage you in a conversation but you just play with your food.
"Can we talk?"
You tense up and drop your fork. Slowly, you turn around and look up at Malcolm. He has a guilty look on his face and it angers you. "I don't know. Can we?" You cock your head condescendingly to the side.
You turn back around and start abusing the piece of toast on your plate. Malcolm lays a hand on your shoulder but it gets promptly ripped off by Hannah. "I strongly advise you to back off."
Malcolm scoffs, looking down at the girl who stands protective in front of you. "Or what? Can't I speak with my girlfriend?"
You slowly rise and turn around to face the prick. "Don't speak to her like that, you insufferable twat. You best believe my dad will make sure you won't get a job anywhere in the Ministry, not even as a wand polisher", you bare your teeth, your chest raising rapidly. The Great Hall has fallen silent, watching the exchange.
"You little bitch." Malcolm's jaw ticks and he balls a fist. But the voice of a teacher stops him.
"Mister Preece, I would strongly advise you to step away from Miss Hufflepuff if you don't want to lose your position on the Quidditch team." Professor McGonagall comes striding from the teacher's table, where they could have seen the interaction between the two of you clear as day.
Malcolm's eyes flicker from you towards the professor and back. "This isn't over", he grumbles before leaving the Great Hall.
"Thank you, Professor." You give the woman a small smile as you collect your schoolbag. She waves you away and you grab both Hannah and Susan's hands, dragging them out of the Great Hall, the stares the whole ordeal created starting to creep you out.
Hannah grumbles all the way towards Charms how's she going to 'beat his face in the next time he dares to look at you'. Susan and you share a look but you're glad you've got Hannah to look out for you.
It's again Hannah who sends glares around as the three of you take place at your usual spot — upper bench all the way at the end. That way the three of you can whisper among each other without bothering anyone.
The class goes as usual before a paper bird lands before you. You look surprised to the other side of the classroom. Mattheo Riddle is already looking at you and miming for you to unfold the bird.
You raise your brows at his note. He has such a chicken-scratch handwriting.
"What is it?", asks Susan in a whisper, leaning closer to you to read the note. A soft gasp escapes her and she looks over at Mattheo. Who's eyes are still trained on you, by the way. "Since when are you and Mattheo Riddle sending notes to each other?!"
"Since never!", you hiss, "what time are we done today?"
Hannah looks up from her book. "Three. Why?" She snatches the note out of Susan's hands and her eyes trail over the words. "He needs to fix his handwriting, my brother in Christ. Is 'Fluxweed report' some kind of secret code?"
You snort and swat her chest, earning a smug smile from the girl.
"I think it's rather romantic", says Susan, the hopeless romantic that she is.
A grimace forms on your face. "What is so romantic about finishing a Herbology essay?"
Susan sighs exorbitantly as she rolls her eyes. "You're officially single now! Free to go and explore and find someone who you really like! Mattheo obviously has seen his chance and took it!"
You and Hannah look at Susan as if she just swallowed a flobberworm. She gives the two of you an exasperated look. "What?! Isn't it like so romantic if the two descendants of Hogwarts founders end up dating? I bet ten galleons that he asks you out on a Hogsmeade date."
You huff out a breath. "Fine. But if he ends up humiliating me I'm going to enjoy those ten galleons with all my heart. Now, what do I write him back?"
"Oh! You should ask to meet at those tables at the back of the library where nobody really comes. That way you two could really cosy up."
You turn towards Hannah, feeling betrayed. "I thought you were with me on this?"
Hannah shrugs. "I'm always down for some drama. Besides, he has been staring at you and I always wondered when he would make his move."
"Since when has Mattheo Riddle been staring at me?", you ask genuinely shocked.
"Since like forever! He always manages to look away just in time. You were also too busy with him who we won't name. Bad joojoo."
You ignore Hannah's observation and pen an answer back.
You wait to send it towards him when Flitwick isn't looking before chucking the balled-up paper towards the other side of the classroom and hitting him in the face.
You clasp a hand over your mouth while you and your friends stifle your laugh. Mattheo unfolds the paper, his eyes following every letter you wrote before he shows a thumbs up.
"Dibs on being you guys' child's Godparent", whispers Susan with a grin and you elbow her in the ribs.
You try to bring your focus back to Flitwick, but you keep on glancing back at the curly-haired boy across the room. Has he some sort of plan to ask you so publicly to study? What is his motive? It can't only be studying, right?
Throughout the day you've grown quite nervous about meeting Mattheo. If it wasn't for your stupid friends and their stupid words you wouldn't have thought about this afternoon like any different from any other Herbology class.
For Merlin's sake! You just broke up with your boyfriend and your friends are already pushing you onto the next. You wanted to take it slow for a while and enjoy the rest of your year without the worry of having to please a guy!
You fix your hair and uniform behind a bookcase as you see Mattheo already sitting at the table. With a curt breath and nod to yourself, you walk up to the table and take place in front of him. "Hi. Sorry if you've been waiting for long." You send him a small smile as you grab your book and notebook out of your bag. "It takes more time than I imagined to get from Divignation to here."
Mattheo gives you a half-smile and waves away your apologies. "Don't worry. I just got here too actually. So... what needed to be in that essay again?"
The two of you work together surprisingly well. If Mattheo isn't throwing his snide remarks around anyway. You also don't feel the need to be as snappy as you usually are with him. It's actually... nice? For once.
As you're writing the last part of the essay, you feel his eyes on you. You look back up and raise your brows, silently asking what his deal is.
"I was thinking", he begins.
You let out a chuckle. "That's dangerous."
Ignoring your quip, he continues, "you need your parents off your back, right? And I imagine that you would like to smite Preece after that embarrassing stunt he pulled this morning."
You lean back with your eyes narrowed. "I wouldn't quite call it that. But continue."
Mattheo licks his bottom lips as he instead leans close to you, his voice softening. "Go out with me. Just a couple of dates so that you're seen with me. You know it will drive him nuts seeing you move on so quick."
You contemplate it for a moment or two. He is right. Malcolm always was a bit too paranoid for your taste when you talked with a boy.
He hums. "So you agree?"
"What do you out of it? This all is a bit too suspicious."
He laughs and he runs his tongue over his teeth. "You don't believe me that I'm just content with having a pretty girl by my side?" When you shake your head he grins. "Smart girl. Maybe by 'dating' you, it will pull Preece's attention away from Quidditch and they'll lose the cup."
"So I'm sabotaging my own house?", you muse, your eyes flickering between his own.
Something seems to falter inside Mattheo's eyes for a second before a teasing smile grows on his face. "Well, you can't have everything princess."
Huming, you fall back into your chair. "Sure. When and where will our first 'date' be?", you use air quotations when you say date.
"I've heard that Saturday is going to be a sunny day."
"Sure. Eleven okay? We could meet up in the Clocktower courtyard. That way a lot of people see us leave together."
And with that, quite casually, your totally not fake date with Mattheo Riddle is agreed.

Knives and the House of Black
You know who loves knives? Members of the Black family, that's who. In my newer writings, I've been exploring knives and what they can do for the Black family. This is based in canon - Bellatrix has her handy dagger, which kills Dobby and wounds Hermione (and who knows who else), and Sirius gifts Harry a knife that can open doors (until the blade is destroyed). Personally I love the idea of the Black family having a love affair with knives.
In my micro fic for the @ladiesofhpfest's mini yesterday in honor of Bellatrix Black Lestrange, I introduced a tradition of Black family witches and wizards getting knives on their 13th birthdays. This tradition came out of the world building I'm doing in my Tedromeda/Remadora AU, Supernova. I've pre-written a good bit of the work, which includes some knife head canons. I'm happy to share them here, and if you're reading Supernova, you'll see how they all fit into the story as it goes on.
HCs for Black family knives:
Knives are goblin-wrought and imbued with a ton of familial magic. Droplets of Black family blood are folded into the silver to create a particular blood magic that prevents Black family members from harming each other with their knives. The blade dulls if it touches another family member.
How related do you have to be? The magic holds with concentration, so once you get past grandparents, it's lethal. E.g. Scorpius Malfoy and Teddy Lupin couldn't hurt each other because their grandmothers were Blacks, but their children could hack each other apart if they wanted to. This also means that Black family members' spouses are fair game - e.g. Bellatrix can play with Rodolphus as much as she likes (and she really likes).
The knives have magic of their own: when they're 13, the knives have the basic Black family magic, but when they turn 17, the knives have gotten to know their owner enough that a new, unique type of magic is revealed. (See below for each of their magics!)
The knife *always* returns to its owner unless its magic is modified or the owner is deceased. If the knife is stolen or lost, it'll come back the next day.
Black family witches wear their knives around their thighs. The holsters are lightweight and barely noticeable. The holster is made of leather and the blade cleans itself within. Black family wizards keep them on their arms or in their pockets. The witches usually get daggers and the wizards usually get pocketknives. Either way, they're self-cleaning so they don't have to worry about dirty blood on their bodies.
The Black family magic can't be taken away, even if someone is disowned.
The knives are long enough to pierce the heart, or can be extended to do so.
The witches' daggers tend to be very ornate looking, with flowers, stars, or other patterns engraved in the handles. They're innocent looking until you're being stabbed and losing consciousness. Yay!
The wizards' knives are handsome and practical-looking. They look like ordinary pocketknives most of the time until you realize that they're about to shank you.
Now, for specific HCs on what the knives can do for each family member when they turn 17 (this is an incomplete list - it's what I have so far for Supernova, which is mostly centered on the Black family witches):
Walburga: her knife BURNS. If she's stabbing you with her dagger, it's going to scorch your skin and make your blood boil. Ouch.
Orion: his pocketknife is Walburga's opposite. It freezes, so imagine getting stabbed in the heart and then having your heart grow cold at the same time. Goodbye life.
Alphard: his pocketknife is a dual-purpose compass. It can give him directions as needed, but also points to what he most desires (think Jack Sparrow's special compass).
Cygnus: his knife temporarily blinds its victim. Not only can he stab you, but you'll be blinded for a hot minute, which makes it hard to escape.
Bellatrix: her knife ALWAYS leaves a mark. She can carve whatever she wants into whoever she wants. That scar is never going away.
Andromeda: her knife doubles as an escape. She can swish it around and create a quick bubble with which she can Apparate away as needed.
Narcissa: her knife changes shape according to her wish. This is useful with potions, but extra useful if she wants to inflict maximum damage on someone by using a serrated blade.
Sirius: his knife is the pocketknife that opens any door. He's clever enough to change the magic on it so he can gift it to Harry, because he's had enough of his family and Harry has more use for it now.
Regulus: his knife becomes invisible to anyone but him. It's an excellent way of being able to sneakily attack someone. You think he's going in for a hug or a handshake and boom, bye-bye life.
Nymphadora/Dora: this is particular to Supernova, my story, as she's being raised under different circumstances. Her dagger will heal her. When she runs her blade against a wound on her body (and her body alone) it will seal itself.
It's all fun, games, and knives, until one of them is fucking you up with their knife and having a fabulous time doing so.

HD fic recs - disability (physical) / illness
Here are a few drarry fic recs where either Harry or Draco is suffering from a physical disability or an illness, whether it is permanent or temporary. Listed in alphabetical order, as always.
All Life is Yours to Miss by Saras_Girl [114k]
Professor Malfoy’s world is contained, controlled, and as solitary as he can make it, but when an act of petty revenge goes horribly awry, he and his trusty six-legged friend are thrown into Hogwarts life at the deep end and must learn to live, love and let go.
All the Ashes Like Leaves by @firethesound [21k]
Nothing about being the Chosen One had prepared Harry for this. With most of the population blinded and man-eating plants running amok, he can only stay close to his friends as they make their way to safety. Not that he’d call Malfoy a friend, but the end of the world does rather make their ongoing feud seem trivial. And it just figures that it took nothing short of an apocalypse to make Malfoy seem like less of a git.
Balance, Imperfect by @bixgirl1 [91k]
When Harry sustains an injury in the line of work, he no longer knows how to navigate the life he loved, and finds help and solace from the most unexpected source.
Beds, Knobs, and Broomsticks by @fencer-x [46k]
A long-term mission to the Baltics that will take him far away from London sounds like the perfect time to cash in the embarrassing ‘Butler in the Buff’ coupon Harry received as a birthday gag gift—until Harry winds up injured in the field and sent home to recover three days into the mission, obliging him to endure one full month of inappropriate attentions from horny housekeeper Draco Malfoy.
Double Edged Sword by @romaine2424 [554k]
Harry thinks his life has been planned out, but the night he comes of age changes everything. Now there are decisions to be made and a path to be chosen, and the choices before him will change the lives of everyone he knows. But when destiny calls, Harry finds himself ready to listen.
This is an epic story of the love between Harry and Draco. Join them as they journey through their life together, through the good times and the bad, facing obstacles both external and internal, and see how they come to be who they were meant to be.
fly like paper, high like planes by @harryromper [47k]
Harry Potter, Head Coach of the Appleby Arrows, is very content leading a quiet life. He has a doddery old house-elf who makes his breakfast, a team of players who love Quidditch almost as much as he does, and a Kneazle that curls against his damaged leg at the foot of his bed at night. The absolute last thing he needs is a fit, tattooed, and wildly talented Draco Malfoy back from living his life on the margins. Soon he’s dealing with goblins for the first time since the war, traveling to Prague, eating dodgy squid, and maybe, just maybe, accepting that Quidditch, Malfoy, and even Harry himself are still capable of change.
A Fruit Tree in Winter by bryoneybrynn [29k]
After failing in his task of killing Dumbledore, life doesn’t go as Draco expected. Sometimes just surviving takes everything you’ve got. And sometimes healing is something you can’t do alone. Story goes AU/AR from the end of Half-Blood Prince.
Hades Paradox by @romaine2424 [32k]
For reasons unknown to most, Draco Malfoy came to Hogwarts soon after the battle and for five years had never left its premises. Auror Harry Potter comes to Hogwarts to deal with his psychological daemons, but soon realises Professor Draco Malfoy has his own magical and physical daemons to deal with. However, much to Harry’s surprise, Draco is coping well with help from the person Harry aspires to be.
The Homecoming of Harry Potter by @vaysh11 [5k]
Harry Potter returns to Britain after four years of exile. He is accompanied by his lover and friend, the young man who brought down Voldemort.
I dream of you, to wake by @harryromper [13k]
“Typically coma patients are made comfortable and left to regain consciousness in their own time,“ Draco points out carefully.
“Typically, yes. But when has anything about Harry been typical.” Hermione sighs, rubbing at her eye with the heel of her hand. “The Healer-in-Charge has consulted with experts at all the major wizarding hospitals. They all agree. Whatever’s happening inside of Harry’s head right now is killing him.”
Draco Malfoy is a world-renowned dream-walker, and he may be Harry Potter’s only hope.
Kaleidoscope by Saras_Girl [104k]
If Harry’s honest, the last thing he needs is a house full of Draco Malfoy, but partners are partners, and perhaps, the thing he wants the least will turn out to be absolutely everything.
Match Fit by @ravenclawsquill [25k]
After picking up a groin injury just two weeks before the Quidditch World Cup Final, star Seeker Harry Potter reluctantly agrees to seek help from world-renowned Magi-Physiotherapist, Draco Malfoy.
Cue sexual tension, naked sports massages, inappropriate erections and a healthy dose of acid-green lycra.
Merlin Works in Mysterious Ways by @lordhellebore [82k]
When Harry is forced to form a Blood Bond with Draco Malfoy under threat of death, he thinks his future will consist of a cold home and sexual frustration. But when a group of left-over Death Eaters decides to stir trouble, their lives change completely – and it takes them both some years to figure out whether it’s for better or for worse.
Oh, Sinnerman by @lou-isfake and @babooshkart [40k]
“I’m serious, Potter,” Malfoy said quietly. “That was some real bad luck you had, being there last night. They will come after you, and they will kill you—after torturing you for information on my whereabouts.” He pocketed Harry’s wand, but held on to his knife, twirling it between his fingers. Harry was distracted by its movement, the reflections of the bright, dawning sun on polished silver. “I’m not happy about it, either, but you’re stuck with me for the foreseeable future.”
He watched Malfoy’s face for a long time, in a staring contest he wasn’t sure he’d signed up for. Stuck with Malfoy, for the foreseeable future, on the run from a massive crime syndicate that had infiltrated the Ministry and was out for their blood.
It was all very familiar, except for the Malfoy part.
On One's Knees by pir8fancier [33k]
The war is over and to the victors go the spoils. If you are triggered by infidelity, this is not the fic for you.
Per Solum Lacuna: By Words Alone by Azhure [560k]
A set of enchanted journals bring solace to two very unlikely lost souls. Whoever said the art of penmanship was lost? This is a wizarding twist on the old fashioned art of correspondence (or the modern art of Internet chatting). What will happen when the mystery writers finally discover the identity of their counterpart? Join this star crossed pair as they obliviously chat to each other; along the way learning about life and love. Find out what will happen when their own voyages of self discovery lead them to the most unlikely of places. This is eventual HP/DM, but other pairings for the protagonists along their journey.
Renaissance by @dysonrules [33k]
Harry awakens after a long sleep to find things terribly changed. He’s not in an alternate universe… it just seems like it.
Turn by Saras_Girl [306k]
One good turn always deserves another. Apparently.
Unkissed Kisses and Songs Never Sung by @femmequixotic [12k]
I sit silently in the shadows, staring at the tiny, pulsing ball of light that tells me my Harry’s still alive.
Vale Sanare by RurouniHime [23k]
Draco’s world gains a new component, just when he thought he’d sorted everything out.
I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!

I just finished a great romcom and now Im wondering do you have Drarry recs that are romcom-y? It doesnt have to explicitly labeled as such but just a vibe...you know that after a serious of little hick ups and An Airport Run for True Love a pop banger playing in the background vibe :D
Hi anon! Oh that’s such an exciting ask, I’ve had lots of fun thinking about this one. I feel like I haven’t read enough romcom, would love to explore this genre further. I hope you enjoy these!
Mad Blood Stirring by provocative_envy (E, 3k) - Hockey AU
It's not like they've been angrily hooking up on the sly since meeting at a Juniors skills camp in fucking Manitoba four years ago, except that's exactly what they've been doing.
Burning Down the House by @peachpety (M, 4k)
Harry is happy as editor-in-chief of The Quibbler. From planning to printing, design to deadlines, he enjoys being in the hot seat. And after vanquishing Voldemort, managing fires is an easy part of the job. Until his scorching crush on his impeccably dressed fashion editor flares out of control, and he's forced to face actual fires.
Per my last letter (I hope you choke on it) by @fluxweeed and @lastontheboat (T, 10k)
Or: the one where Harry has writer’s block and Malfoy isn’t helping.
Love, Actually, is All Around by @punk-rock-yuppie (T, 10k)
It's Christmastime, and Harry has just started as the new Minister of Magic. It just so happens that Draco works in his office as well, a holdover from Kingsley's tenure. Naturally, love is in the air.
Title of Their Sex Tape by @cibeewastaken (T, 12k)
What are the Wizarding world's most elite law enforcers doing when they aren't catching criminals? It seems Auror Malfoy is often caught throwing food into Auror Potter's mouth when he's mid-yawn. This story isn't about Draco throwing food at Harry. What it does have is: Undercover! Heists! Draco pining for Harry! Harry being oblivious, but also can't help noticing how good Draco smells! Banters and jokes! That's about it.
Crash (Into Me) by @sweet-s0rr0w (T, 14k)
Harry’s done plenty of ridiculous things for charity over the years, but Robards’ latest scheme really takes the biscuit. Or rather, the teacake. Good job Malfoy’s there to suffer alongside him this time, eh?
Yours Truly by @skeptiquewrites (M, 15k)
Every single one of Harry’s exes has gone on to marry the next person they date, and with the upcoming nuptials of numbers six and seven to each other, Harry’s feeling exhausted by it all. It doesn’t really matter if he lets people assume Draco Malfoy is his boyfriend for a moment of peace. In any case, Draco’s been away for five years and there’s no way he would find out, right?
The Courting by the Pureblood Who Only Has Five Milligrams of Romantic Intelligence and Thinks He’s Real Smooth by @cibeewastaken (T, 19k)
Draco could grab Potter and shove him into a stall before proceeding to suck his soul out of his dick, but secretly, deep down, in the part of Draco that he will never admit to anyone, he is (everyone pauses to shudder) a romantic. Potter is not someone Draco wants a one-off with. Potter is — Draco’s beloved!
Jumeaux by VivacissimoVoce (M, 19k)
Draco and Blaise own and operate a luxury spa resort together, and the Ministry's Auror department has scheduled a full service three-day retreat. Guess who's on the guest list?
Little Red Courgette by @blamebrampton (T, 31k)
When this season's purple courgettes are woefully thin, Draco Malfoy thinks it amounts to small beans. Next thing he knows, the Department of Standards is over-run with leeks, Brussels sprouts all sorts of legislative difficulties, and somebody appears to have put a roquette under Harry Potter. Can Draco seize a marrow victory? Or will his plans for peas be squashed?
The Four Ds of Apparition (or: Destination, Determination, Deliberation, and Dicks) by eidheann, firethesound (E, 36k)
After transferring to the Apparition Department, Harry's life becomes one big dick joke. And all his friends are arseholes. So is Malfoy, but what else is new? AKA Harry Potter and the eighteen twenty dicks.
Soup-pocalypse and The Great Curry Cataclysm by SquadOfCats (E, 104k)
Eleven years after the war, Draco Malfoy leads a quiet, boring, and perfectly respectable life, thanks very much. Or, at least he does, until a sudden and very unexpected veela awakening causes him to throw soup all over Harry Potter in the middle of the Ministry cafeteria.

Hi!!! Do you know any fic where Draco join the Golden Trio in their Hocrux Hunting in 7th year? Thnx
Hello! I know some,
Horcrux Hunting
Temptation on the Warfront by Alizarincrimson (180k)
Draco Malfoy is forced into hiding with the Golden Trio and dragged into their search for horcruxes. What ensues is a journey of redemption, unexpected friendships and an unwanted, turbulent romance with Harry Potter. Warnings for swearing, sexual content, and dark themes.
Chronological Displacement by bookinit (89k)
In which Harry and Draco have a time-turner accident, and many things go wrong, but a lot of things also go right. Featuring: reptilian bonding night, canon-inaccurate animagus lessons, and a fuck-ton of pining.
aka the fic where Harry finds his family, and fights to keep them.
Consequences of Redemption by bobbirose (120k)
When Draco makes an impromptu decision to rescue Harry Potter from Malfoy Manor, the two find themselves completely alone and facing the looming climax of the war against Voldemort. Harry must start from the beginning with Draco–and starting over has more consequences than either of them anticipated.
Finite Incantatum by Alysian_Fields (153k)
What should have happened after ‘Half Blood Prince’! It’s the autumn after Dumbledore’s death, the Death Eaters are steadily gaining power, and Harry and his friends are desperate to find the remaining Horcruxes. But then Draco Malfoy arrives at Grimmauld Place, traumatised, starved and drained of all his magical ability. It falls to Harry to show the Slytherin how to adapt to his new way of life, never guessing that Draco has a few things to teach him in return.
The Sum of Your Scars by Tessa Crowley (4k)
Draco will never forgive Harry for making him a better person, and will never forgive himself for falling in love with him.
Earthbound Spook by cest_what (57k)
Two months after Draco Malfoy was reported dead, Harry and Ron found him tangled in Strangler Ivy on the grounds of Hogwarts.
The Serenity of His Rage by Lomonaaeren (152k)
AU of HBP. Narcissa never made Snape swear an Unbreakable Vow, and in the end, Draco decides to accept Dumbledore’s offer of sanctuary. But when Narcissa dies and Dumbledore declares his intention to create a soul-bond between Harry and Draco mainly to get rid of the Horcrux in Harry, Draco becomes enraged. He’ll use the soul-bond and the sanctuary Dumbledore gave him. But not exactly in the ways that Dumbledore anticipated.
Vulnera Sanentur by Zzzara (51k)
When Harry Potter fires a deadly curse at his "arch-enemy", he has no idea what the curse does. He has no idea he will soon beg Draco Malfoy's forgiveness and try his best to atone. He has no idea that the ugly bathroom incident he would rather forget will tangle and bind their lives together with no chance of escape. Navigating a treacherous path between Dumbledore's lies and Voldemort's orders, Draco is trapped and considered to be dead by both sides of the Wizarding War. Against the Golden Trio's wishes, he joins them on the Horcrux hunt. Except that he has no idea what he is hunting for. This is a love-story, a fight-story, very much compliant to the 6th and 7th 'Harry Potter' books and yet, very, VERY different. Because this time - after the Sectumsempra incident - Harry visited Draco in the hospital wing and tried to apologise.
Men Who Love Dragons Too Much by @fencer-x (522k)
[Extensive re-telling of Deathly Hallows] ‘Kill Albus Dumbledore’ is less a challenging task and more a suicide mission, so when Draco Malfoy is presented with the option to either dispatch his Headmaster or suffer an excruciating and most ignominious death of his own, along with his parents, he reaches deep into his black little Slytherin heart and manages to scrape together enough courage to go with option C instead: Spend Sixth Year secretly studying Animagecraft in the hopes he’ll turn into something sufficiently imposing even the Dark Lord himself won’t be able to keep Draco under his thumb. But just his luck, his Animagus form turns out to be a dragon, and a rather randy juvenile at that, intent on finding its mate: one Harry James Potter.
Speak (and may the world come undone) by @shealwaysreads (26k)
The war is on in earnest, and the hunt for the Horcruxes has begun. Harry receives help from the least expected person, and must decide whether he can trust the enemy he knows best. A story of grey-tinged loyalty, the silver of trust in the darkness, the agony of courage, the unexpected richness of secrets, and the vast unknown of survival.
Walking the Line by SilentAuror (179k)
Sixth year is over and Draco Malfoy is on the run. The war is on and an unwanted assignment is forced upon him by the only people he trusts - and a one-time arch-enemy just may be out to kill him.
Bad Faith by jad (224k)
Four years after Dumbledore's death, Draco Malfoy shows up on the doorstep of number twelve, Grimmauld Place looking for Harry Potter. Torn between his own self-preservation and his family's pride, Draco finds himself alone on a battlefield and has nowhere else to turn; and Harry has to learn that sometimes you don't put up walls to keep other people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.
The Eighth Tale by lettered (12k)
Draco Malfoy tries to fix the past, but instead mucks it up some more. For Harry, it all becomes quite clear.
The Hush of War by @lol-zeitgeistic (351k)
Voldemort has made a bargain with Harry to stop killing muggles and muggle-borns (when at all possible, of course) in exchange for Harry's cooperation. While Harry thinks he's using the time to find a way to defeat the Dark Lord, he will realize that Voldemort is always one step ahead, and so long as he isn't killing anyone...what's the big deal? He has bigger things to worry about now, anyway. Includes dementors, pureblood culture, the prophecy, what exactly happened with Lily's sacrifice, magical breakthroughs, children Death Eaters, and portraits of family. Final pairing: H/D. Sequel to Black, in the Smothering Dark.
Brave Though The Stars They Make Me by @dwell-the-brave (108k)
After the events at the end of his Sixth Year, Draco Malfoy has been kept all but prisoner in his childhood home, Malfoy Manor. Alone, terrified, and desperate for some way out, he begins to have strange dreams - dreams of Harry Potter. Are they a trick of his mind? Or are they a way to change his fate, and a chance at redemption?
A Slight Inclination by @jilliancares (48k)
When Harry Potter is ten years old he accidentally winds up in Knockturn Alley, where he runs into a man named Lucius Malfoy. Harry is thus thrust into the wizarding world and makes his first ever friend, Draco Malfoy. Years later, Harry is on the hunt for horcruxes with his most trusted friends, Draco, Ron, Blaise, Hermione, and Pansy. Still, being in love with his best friend is bound to make their mission a little bit more difficult, isn't it?
Paradox series by kerfuffling (84k + 34k)
Thanks to a clever bit of magic and the help of an old acquaintance, Draco is given the chance to relive his years at Hogwarts with the knowledge of what exactly is in store for the future. However, when things tumble out of Draco's grasp, he finds himself losing his memories of the life he's already led as everything takes a startling turn away from what he'd always assumed to be his destiny.
-
Just because Draco's somehow gotten himself involved in Potter's suicide mission to defeat the Dark Lord doesn't mean he has to go quietly and actually act like a Gryffindor fool. And sure, he and Potter have some sort of relationship going on, but Draco's still a Slytherin, and he's going to bring his own brand of cunning to this cockamamy fool camping trip Potter's gone and got himself stuck in trying to save the world from evil lockets, gingers, and badly cooked food.
Death Comes for Us All by @lumosatnight (5k)
Burying his face in Draco’s hair, he can smell the smoke from the cigarette, can taste the ashes lingering in his mouth. Harry finds it comforting, a reminder that Draco has seen his worst and still chooses to stay.
Secrets by Vorabiza (395k)
Beginning with Draco's unexpected arrival at the Dursleys, Harry's summer after sixth year becomes filled with activity and many secrets. As his summer progresses, Harry generates several unexpected allies as he finds himself actively becoming the leader of the Light side. H/D post-HBP ~~Complete~~

Drarry Fic Recs
All Magic Flows by hypata I Chapters 42/45 I Case Fic, Slow Burn, Redeemed Draco, Master of Death Harry, Auror Harry Potter, Unspeakable Draco, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Spoilers, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them Spoilers
Harry Potter, rising Auror extraordinaire, in charge of Unsolved Crimes at the Auror Office, finds himself in the middle of another mystery involving the dead Lord Voldemort and a quagmire of secrets from the House of the Black.When he is called to Malfoy Manor to consult about a strange bit of magic found on the grounds of the Malfoy Estate, he later wonders if the journey his magic takes him on was well worth the destination. Harry must learn to walk a line between protecting the magical world and protecting magic itself.or: A British soap-opera paced crime-drama with Western undertones.
Draco Malfoy and the Order of Ecdysis by Dayenu (Coffee_Scribbles) I Chapters: 17/? I AU-Voldemort Wins, Time Travel Fix-It, slow burn, Assumed Veela!Draco, survivor guilt, soft Draco, Magically Powerful Draco, bamf Draco
“When did you get so wise?” Pansy jokes weakly. Sniffling and wiping her eyes on her sleeve. Draco just shrugs. His school robes still feel off. Too tight in the shoulders. Too loose in the heart. “I didn’t." Then he smiles, like he’s referencing a private joke she’s not in on. “I just got old.” And that may very well be the most honest thing he's ever said. Maybe the world just feels simpler when you're his age; smaller when you’ve seen it die. Maybe, when you’ve seen how it ends, the fear of just ending at all is less scary. And the how becomes a lot more. (in other words: Draco Malfoy, Eight years post the 'war' at Hogwarts that far more resembled genocide, is sprung from Azkaban by a group of rebels, quietly fighting against a Voldemort controlled Ministry, in hopes they could send him back in time to before Voldemort wins. And it works... just not quite as well as they'd hoped.) In OTHER other words: Draco Malfoy had never, in fact, been a brave man. It was something he'd come to terms with. Something he'd learned to work around. He had, however, always been a rather... stubborn one
Missing Hearts by @ancientgreekwasreallygay I Chapters: 48/? I Slow Burn- I mean really Slow burn, Bamf Draco, Draco speaks French, Healer Draco, Draco redemption, Politics, Corruption, Blood and Violence
These violent delights have violent ends -William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
Yes, brother, I have killed him. It's weary work. -Joseph Conrad, Under Western Eyes
Harry Potter disappears – quiet, like a ghost done haunting – and with him the last hope for Britain's Wizarding World.
In an unexpected turn, Draco gets assigned with finding him. It's an impossible task he expects to fail from the moment he accepts, and yet he can't resist the temptation to use Potter for his own schemes. That Magical Britain is a toddler unable to stand on its own only solidifies his decision. But despite all his careful calculations, even Draco isn't prepared for what's to come. Thrust into the middle of politics in the name of survival, he has to take a path entirely foreign to him – one he never thought himself choosing.
Enemies become allies. Chaos takes over the country. An ancient struggle for power and control flips the world upside down.
And suddenly, Potter is in front of him.

He was in control
He wasn’t going to transform.
Not now. Not yet.
“Whatever happens,” Potter said, his words slurred by his own tiredness, “I hope you won’t ever forget me.”
If Draco knew one thing for certain, it was that forgetting Harry Potter was never going to be an option.
It's sixth year and Draco Malfoy has a secret. No one believes Harry when he insists that he is up to something and a Dragon is stalking Hogwarts. When Malfoy goes missing, Harry makes a startling discovery that changes everything he thought he knew about his rival. Draco must fix the Vanishing Cabinet, but he must also protect his darkest secret at all costs - he just never thought that Potter would be the one to help him do it.

Harry leads a team of Aurors disguised as Royal Marines into Syria. Their mission: to extract a former Death Eater who used to buy muggles in bulk for Voldemort and his cohorts.

While there, Harry suspects an "American" muggle mercenary may be Draco Malfoy, who had disappeared in a kidnapping fourteen years before.

In the Middle of the Night
Slytherin!nicholas x hufflepuff!fem!reader
• You 'followed' Nicholas in the middle of the night just to steal a 'look' at him, but you got caught by him...
• Warnings : Suggestive content, make out, a little insult, finger sucking, Leads to smut, PDA, grammar error, etc...
• A/N : Fuck, I'm completely obsessed with Hogwarts AU, especially Nicholas being a Slytherin ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
Maybe dreaming of dating a rich and handsome wizard but your status is not equal to him is just like a fairy tale. Yes, that's what Hannah said when you told her that you had a big crush on Wang Yixiang, or often called Nicholas, his English name.
Nicholas is the main heir of the Wang family, a pure-blood wizarding family that originally came from Taiwan, but moved to England in the ninth generation. The Wang family originally attended one of the prestigious magic schools on the Asian continent, but when the ninth generation moved to England and changed their citizenship, they automatically received an invitation to admission from Hogwarts. As a result, since the ninth generation, they have continued to attend Hogwarts.
Being the main heir to the Wang family made Nicholas enter the circle of popular guys, he was on par with Draco Malfoy. Many girls expect him to be their boyfriend, either because they genuinely like him or just want to build a family connection.
Nicholas is also known to be a bit of a brat and has quite a high temper, he sometimes gets into fights with some of the students who he says really bother him. However, somehow he managed to become a prefect even though he often caused problems. Maybe because of his smart brain.
Himself being the one that girls desire makes him become a playboy. Aka dating lots of girls. Any girl would bend the knee to him just to be with him.
And you? You do like him-no, you love him. You've had that feeling since your first year at Hogwarts. You were fascinated by his charisma and arrogant face. Typical Slytherin. However, you never had the chance to talk or get to know him better. Because of what? Because of the difference in status. Yes, you and he do have the same blood status, both are pure blood, but you are not equal to him in terms of wealth status. You were born into a middle class family. Meanwhile, Nicholas was born into an upper class family, almost aristocratic.
There were rumors that his type was like Selene Black, Regulus Black's only daughter. When you heard the rumors, you felt weak and seemed to be aware of the fact that you and him really couldn't be together.
However, that can't erase your feelings of love for him. You always secretly follow and watch him from a distance, watching all his movements like a stalker. Sometimes with a glimmer of hope that he will be able to love you even if it's only a one percent chance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At midnight, you secretly left your dorm to do something 'routine' on someone's patrol schedule. Nicholas' schedule. Yeah, Nicholas is the Slytherin prefect and this time it's his time to go on patrol.
You slowly walked down the Hufflepuff stairs after closing the house door and immediately walked to look for Nicholas. You tightened your robe because you were only wearing a short nightgown that was quite thin.
You turned down several alleys, but didn't find that Asian man. In fact, you were almost caught by several other prefects who were on patrol. You decided to walk towards the library.
A smile immediately spread across your face when you saw Nicholas talking to Michael Corner, you hid behind the wall and of course peeked. Even though the lighting around you is minimal, you can still see Nicholas' handsome, serious face. His thick, red lips moved seriously as he discussed some of the students who broke the rules tonight with Michael.
When Nicholas finished his conversation with Michael, he walked over to where you were hiding. You hurriedly hid your face before he caught you. He passed you without knowing where you were behind the wall, because he was walking straight.
You slowly followed him with light steps, hoping not to trip over anything due to the lack of lighting around the hallway.
As he turned towards the Slytherin house, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, making you hold your breath. Before you rush to hide, a deep voice immediately makes you feel like you're going to faint and startle. "Stop being a stalker, Miss Hufflepuff," you were in shock and of course you realized that Nicholas knew you were around him.
Nicholas turned around and he could see you clearly. He grinned and was about to approach you. Of course you immediately ran fast enough to avoid it, but unfortunately. Because his legs are longer than yours, he can catch you easily. He held your wrist tightly.
"Ah, got it," Nicholas chuckled and gave you a mocking look. Making you shiver in fear. "Nicholas please forgive me, I didn't mean it like this. I have no evil intentions towards you. I—"
""Being a stalker is considered evil, Miss Hufflepuff," Nicholas cut you off, he seemed to like seeing you scared. It's like there's satisfaction in itself. "I'm really sorry, I just—"
A clear step was heard, making Nicholas cover your mouth and take you to another hallway to avoid the person who was walking towards where you and he were standing before.
Nicholas pinned you against the wall, a mocking grin completely etched on his face. He placed his left arm on top of your head, stroking your hair playfully. Meanwhile, you are already hit by fear and tension. "Aren't you tired of being a stalker? That's the lowest and scariest way, you know," Nicholas insulted you quite sharply, you squeezed your robe, not daring to look at his face.
Nicholas forced you to look at his face. "Don't think I didn't know you were a stalker all this time. Luckily, I didn't curse you because you dared to have bad intentions towards me," You immediately shook your head and looked at Nicholas with pleading eyes. "I have no ill will towards you, Nicholas. Absolutely—"
"Oh wow, you dare call my name?" Nicholas cut you off again. “You really are too obsessed with me, miss. Aren't you aware of your middle class status? We are not equal, but you dare to be my stalker," He continued, which finally made you shed tears because you were too scared and hurt. Nicholas released your face from his hands, his hand suddenly moved to hold your left fingers.
A few seconds later, your cry was changed to shock again because Nicholas pulled your finger to his mouth. You immediately had serious goosebumps but your body couldn't fight it.
His wet mouth gently nuzzles your index finger, his tongue playing sexily there. Your fingers are wet with his saliva. It's crazy, but it's the sexiest scene you've ever seen.
Satisfied with playing with your index finger, Nicholas pulled it from his mouth. He could see your breath was short and your face was red. Your eyes were so glazed, and he looked at it with a look of...adoration (?)
Suddenly he pushed your wet finger into your mouth. "Suck it," You immediately didn't disobey him and sucked your finger like he did earlier. Nicholas felt a rush of heat seeing how beautiful you were doing what he said. Your lips stretching over your finger made a lust build within Nicholas.
Lust that coincides with a sense of overprotectiveness. He doesn't know much about you anymore, but he wants you only for him. He doesn't want to waste a girl as perfect as you.
"Fuck!" Nicholas pulled your finger from your mouth, then immediately pressed his lips to yours. Kissing you was rushed and full of heat as if you were going to leave him.
At first, you were very shocked but after a few seconds you were lulled by his sweet kisses. You put your arms around his neck and shoulders, occasionally squeezing and pulling his hair gently. Nicholas took off his robe, letting it fall down. He also pulled his tie tightly until it came loose and slowly opened the top few buttons of his white shirt.
His kisses became increasingly heated, making the oxygen you felt become increasingly thin. However, you couldn't deny that the play of his tongue coiling with yours was very intoxicating.
Nicholas brought your right hand inside his shirt, asking you to caress his firm and quite muscular chest. Of course you can't refuse. Isn't this what you want?
Feeling you were running out of oxygen, Nicholas immediately pulled himself away from you. He could see your face flushed, your chest rising and falling from panting, but your right hand was still in his shirt.
Not giving you much pause, Nicholas lowered the robe you were wearing, and now he could clearly see your body which was only clad in a fairly thin nightgown. He gulped at the sight before him. Your tits and satin panties were almost visible enough.
Nicholas immediately connected his lips to your smooth neck, he squeezed your waist tightly. One of his hands lifted your thigh to his hip area. Makes you stick to him even more. Without shame, you moan his name in a regular rhythm. Pressing the nape of his neck to deepen the action on your neck.
Nicholas licks, sucks and bites your neck area, causing red marks. His naughty hands also squeeze your buttocks, he growls softly feeling how hot his body is and the part beneath him feels increasingly narrow asking to be freed.
He pulled away from you, wiping his lips with the back of his hand, he smiled mischievously at the red marks he carved into your skin. Nicholas held your neck gently, to maintain eye contact with him, he didn't want your beautiful eyes to look at him. "Let's go to my room, I need you, Miss Hufflepuff," His hoarse voice makes your body move as if he is commanding you. As a result, you just nodded in response.
He smiled with satisfaction, picked up both of your robes and then immediately carried you to his private dormitory to complete the thing he really wanted from you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// Morning Breakfast Hours //
Everyone in the great hall was just shocked to see something they weren't used to seeing, and it made you uncomfortable. Oh of course they were shocked, they saw clearly how Nicholas was beside you looking like someone who was lovesick. And this was the first time Nicholas looked like he was lovesick. And it was on a girl they didn't expect. You.
Nicholas has been looking at you like crazy all this time, he didn't even touch his breakfast. Occasionally his fingers brush your hair or move to your fingers where in some places there is his ring. Sometimes, he still forces you to sit on his lap which you immediately refuse.
Your best friend Hannah couldn't even move when you told her that you were Nicholas' girlfriend now. She actually got a little goosebumps when he saw Nicholas looking so obsessed with you. She's afraid you're just being played by him.
"Y/N! You darned scoundrel, how could you snatch Nicho from me?!" A scream immediately shocked the entire hall. Hearing your name shouted like that, you immediately looked at the person who shouted at you like that. It turned out to be Samantha Xoviz. She is one of Nicholas' former lovers who is still very obsessed with Nicholas.
Seeing Samantha take out her wand and seem to be going to put a chaotic spell on you, Nicholas immediately moved faster. "DEPULSO!" Samantha was thrown quite far before she cast a spell on you, you were quite shocked by Nicholas' heavy spell attack.
Nicholas walked quickly towards Samatha, his eyes flashing with anger. He looks like he's going to 'harm' Samantha. "You blasted thing, how could you even think of laying a finger on my princess?!" Before Nicholas grabbed Samantha, Snape first pushed Mattheo hard away from Samantha who was in pain.
"To my study now, Mr. Wang!" Snape glared at Nicholas. "Oh you're going to give me detention because I defended my girl who almost got hurt? Use your brain! If I don't move quickly then my girl will be the one who gets hurt!" Snape glared when Nicholas acted impolitely towards him.
"Come to my study in five minutes or I will withdraw 50 percent of Slytherin's points?!" Snape threatened sharply. He ordered several students to take Samantha to Hospital Wings for treatment.
Snape left the great hall to go straight to his study. He would wait for Nicholas there. "Fuck!" Nicholas snapped harshly and ruffled his hair.
Nicholas looked at you who also looked shocked by what you saw earlier. He approached you and kissed your forehead lightly. "No one will try to hurt you again after this," he said softly as he removed his kiss from your forehead. He glanced at Pansy. "While I'm in detention, please pay attention to my girl, don't let anyone find trouble with her or your fate will be worse than Samantha's," Pansy nodded quickly to what Nicholas wanted, she didn't want to get into trouble.
Nicholas kissed your lips briefly before finally going to Severus Snape's study. He already knew he would end up getting detention, and that made you feel really bad for him.
However, you are also increasingly convinced that he is not playing with you and is not just lusting after your body. He really sincerely loves you. The look in his eyes strengthened the fact that he also really loved you.
"I love you, Yixiang,"

My fave marauders ships and dynamics as a multi-shipper !! Ok so, there are certain ships I like to imagine as canon in the canon universe, and there are other ships that I prefer in aus and such but still ship them so much!! So I thought I’d just ramble abt them here lol.
My fave ships that are canon/I think I should be endgame:
First off, Jily ofc. My loves. I’m generally not super excited abt str8 couples but they’re just too cute. My fave dynamic with them is that they’re academic rivals — well at least lily thinks they are, James is just hopelessly in love with her and enjoys competition lol. Lily thinks he’s an idiot, immature and a bit of a bully at first but slowly warms up to him as she sees his kind-heartedness and stance on justice. Plus, she’s always found him a little hot :)
Wolfstar, duh. I don’t think I have to go into detail coz I already do so much on my blog lol.
Dorlene — aaah I love my tragic, angsty lil lesbians. Sucker for the quidditch-rivals-to-lovers trope. Ooh and i headcanon Dorcas as transfem. But yeah if you’ve read ‘the hands that feeds’ by rollercoasterwords that’s basically how I see their dynamic.
Fralice — cuties and did not deserve the ending they got ;((
Rosekiller — ok, ok. I know I’ve ranted abt how I don’t like the fanonization of their characters in fandom,, but I will admit I do like them together. Especially when they’re depicted as the awful people they are lol. I like to think that they’re still hooking up in GoF on nights where barty’s poly juice wears off lmaoo. Also random but I hc Barty to be in ravenclaw.
Pandora x Xenophillius (idk how to spell his name) — I like to imagine Pandora as a goth who runs an underground magical weed business and Xeno as a hippie weirdo and conspiracy theorist. Both are bi/pan tho and have def hooked up with ppl of the same gender before.
Andromeda x Ted Tonks — iconic. Love them. Andy was the og rebellious black family child.
Emmary — love, love this ship. For context, I picture Emmaline as a little older than Mary (maybe 2 or 3 years) and they meet when Em’s at the order. Mary’s a bisexual girlie who’s predominantly been with men at this point, and Em’s a big Butch lesbian who loves Mary so much but isn’t sure if Mary likes her back, at first. Ofc they end up together after the first war but when Em wants to join the second war, Mary oblivates herself and retreats to the muggle world entirely because she cannot bear more pain.
My fave ships that I like to think are semi-canon, as in their unrequited, or right person wrong time, or both have feelings that the other doesn’t know — they just don’t workout for some reason:
First off, Marylene — my absolute fave, right person, wrong time ship. Love the whole, ‘Marlene loved her too early, Mary loved her too late idea’. I’m a sucker for best friends to lovers ahhh. I imagine that Marls had crush on Mary since they were eleven and came out to her later, and although Mary was supportive she didn’t like her back at that point. Then Marls got with Dorcas and maybe Mary got a tad bit jealous. And then Marlene was killed ofc so Mary moved on and went with Emmaline, but she never really stopped loving Marlene.
Nobleflower — bi narcissa and Alice rights!! I like to think that they had a bit of a homoerotic friendship back in their hogwarts years, but the fact that they were on opposite sides eventually pulled them apart. And so Alice gets with Frank and Narcissa with Malfoy. Aaah so tragic I love them
Lily x Remus — I like to think Lily had a little crush on Remus when they were younger but she got over it and they became besties !!
Bellatrix / Lady Zabini — Toxic murder comphet lesbians!! Tho I imagine they ‘broke up’ their fling coz Bellatrix was murdering with pure blood fascism in mind,,, and lady Zabini was just like,, why can’t we just kill ppl for the sake of killing them?? 🥺🥺
Jegulus — ok so I don’t like jegulus as a canon(ish) ship, buuut I love me some unrequited jegulus, specifically from Regulus’ side coz sorry I just personally don’t see James ever liking Reg in canon. I imagine Reg goes into hogwarts wanting to hate the guy who stole his brother but ends up falling for him just the same. He has internalised homophobia and hates the fact that he’s gay, esp for someone like James lol.
Bartylus — My hc is that neither of them liked each other romantically, but they settled and got off each other to pass time. It’s transactional, at least it’s starts off being..maybe barty’s a little more into it than reg thinks they are.
Peter/Bertha Jorkins — I like to imagine they dated for awhile during hogwarts — until Bertha got bored of him and dumped him. Peter never really got over it and was still bitter.
Peter/Sybil — oooh I remember this one was trending on marauders tik tok awhile back but I’m still not over it. Happens after Bertha/Peter. Sybil breaks up with Peter maybe coz she gets a prophecy that he becomes evil. Peter is confused and heartbroken.
Snily — ok hear me out!! I don’t care for their portrayals in a lot of fics coz I think the pro / anti Snape bias is always there — but I would be open to exploring the complexity of their dynamic in a fic when snapes actions aren’t justified or excused, but he’s not portrayed as a one dimensional bad guy. And I think it would be interesting to explore more of Lily’s character and why she stuck by him so long.
Ok, now onto ships that I only enjoy in aus:
Marylily/macevans — by far my fave ship in aus. Best friends to lovers >>>> also half the marauders edits saved on my phone are marylily edits lmaoo they’re just so cute!!
Jegulus — requited this time!! If it’s an au and James is not reduced to a generic sunshine people pleasing character, then they’re a little cute I’ll admit. Not the biggest fan of the 'best friend's brother' trope but the drama is entertaining at least.
Mary/Dorcas — I don’t think they’re a very popular on here but I personally like it. In a way they’re opposites but they’re motivations are a lot more similar than they realise.
Pandalily — so, so cute. Fanart is spectacular
Dorlily — so academic rivals to lovers coded
Prongsfoot — specifically in aus where James and Sirius are on opposing sides, for example, slytherin!Sirius au
Wolfstarbucks — James and sirius share everything!! Including their lovers apparently. Mostly enjoy it as a crack ship tho.
Well this was fun!! I love multi-shipping <33

((contents: emotional whump, child whumpee, child emotional abuse, domination, mind control / conditioning))
Promptspiration: @thebestieyoureinlovewith ask; same universe as this fic.
Whumpee: Draco
Whumper: Lucius
Caretaker: Snape
Fic type: Hogwarts first year, weird AU (Malfoy blood magic AU)
((words: ~2300))
-------------
The morning after the detention in the Forbidden Forest, Draco came to breakfast armed with a lengthy, caustic letter home, lovingly detailing the myriad failings and incompetencies of the staff and systems of the school, that they would send him to such an unthinkable, moronic punishment, for the mere crime of trying to make sure that everyone was following the rules. Even people who thought they were something special, but utterly weren't.
He accepted his mother's semiweekly note and care package from Hermes with less interest than he normally had, gave the owl a sausage for it to savage, and took immense pleasure in sending it back with his missive. His parents were going to be so outraged. His father was going to take this to the board of governors as more evidence of how incompetent Dumbledore was, it was going to be the final bit he needed to finally get him sacked like he'd always wanted...
The satisfaction of that was still hovering in the back of his mind when he went to class, and he didn't even mind that it was Transfiguration with McGonagall and the Gryffindors, and that carried him through the day.
It was easy for him to tell when his father read his letter, after lunch, because that feeling evaporated and turned into something that was almost pain. His spoon fell clattering against the side of his cauldron as he clutched at his chest with a quiet whimper.
The pain wasn't actually in his chest, of course. It wasn't in his body, but it was very real. For as long as he could remember, he'd felt these things that told him how his father was feeling toward him, so he always knew how to do what he wanted. Even across the distance between Scotland and Wiltshire, or London, or wherever his father was today. He'd expected the warm, giddy feeling of his father being pleased with what he'd done -- not this! It was like someone had grabbed hold of his heart and was pulling it out, leaving an empty hole that ached.
It actually hurt. His father was actually angry with him. But why?! Telling him how terrible Dumbledore allowed the school to be run was supposed to make him happy! What did he do wrong? How did he fix it?!
"Did you eat too much?" Goyle wondered sympathetically. "That's what makes me do that. Next time try to drink something between plates."
"No-- shut up..." He gasped and squeezed his eyes shut, willing the feeling to pass and his father to not be angry with him.
--
The only vaguely interesting thing first year Potions had for its professor was the many and various ways the little idiots tried to kill themselves, each other, or him. It was a very irritating combination of the height of tedium and constant, low-level anxiety as he had to be eternally vigilant for some new innovation in incompetence that would prematurely end two dozen very promising careers as manual labourers and petty bureaucrats.
A few minutes before the blessed end of his torture, as he patrolled the room to ensure none of the dimwits had created anything too poisonous, he picked up the always-troubling sounds of sniggering from the most disruptive table in the room. Potter's, of course. "Maybe Malfoy ate one of the leeches," Weasley was saying hopefully, and Longbottom chuckled nervously.
"Five points from Gryffindor," he said casually as he passed. "You don't have the time to be concerned about other tables when your potion is that shade of orange."
He could fairly hear them scowling at his back. He supposed these classes weren't all bad.
Weasley wasn't wrong about Draco, though. Draco was one of the perhaps four students in the classroom he would say showed any promise at all in the subject, and it wasn't like him to be standing blankly over his cauldron when he still had to turn in his work. He had his eyes closed under a furrowed brow and was holding the edge of his workstation with a white-knuckled grip, barely breathing.
Clearly symptoms of something, but nothing in their cure for boils should have been able to cause that. Then again... He must, reluctantly, admit that his own house held the worst offenders for sheer incompetence this year.
"Draco," he drawled. "Did you happen to taste Goyle's mixture while you were doing his work for him?"
"No..." Draco took a breath and bit his lip to stifle a barely-audible whimper.
Goyle looked quizzically at his noxiously steaming cauldron, and he could see on his face the moment he had the brilliant idea to actually taste it. He slapped the spoon out of Goyle's hand without a word before he could get it to his face. That child was a menace.
"Perhaps, then, you would like to visit the nurse."
"No." Draco opened his eyes and looked at him, then dropped his eyes. "I'm fine," he said stubbornly.
"Very well. You have two minutes to leave your potions on my desk, and then you may go," he announced to the class, sweeping away.
Draco brought up his potion and left the room with his station cleaned before most of the rest of the class, and he did not give it much more thought, though the situation remained in the back of his mind.
It did not escape his attention a couple hours later, however, that Draco did not come to dinner, and that fact made a connection he had not thought about in years.
He left the great hall without drawing attention to himself and let himself into the Slytherin common room. The only students there skipping dinner were a pair of seventh years cramming for their N.E.W.T.s, who barely greeted him, and he returned the favour.
He thought at first that the first year dorms were empty, but old instincts made him check further; he found Draco sitting on the floor beside his bed, knees drawn up, holding his hair. When he realised he was found he scrambled to his feet to try to pretend nothing was wrong.
"It's your father, I assume." He didn't bother with any preamble.
"I don't know what you mean," Draco lied badly, staring at the foot of his bed. That was telling; normally he was a very good liar.
"I am aware of your family's magic. I have known your father since he was a student," he reminded him.
Draco looked up at him quickly, his eyes wide -- it was almost a challenge not to see into his mind, but there was very little coherent there, at least on the surface. He was just desperately thinking about his father.
After a second, when he decided he believed him and could trust him, Draco crumpled onto the bed, hunched over and arms wrapped around his stomach like he was about to be sick. "He's angry with me," he admitted in a small voice. "I sent him another owl after classes but he hasn't read it yet..." His voice was miserable. "Or it wasn't right..."
This was... infuriating. Draco had done nothing worthy of actual anger; maybe some annoyance or disappointment, and his experience with Lucius told him neither of those would be so incapacitating. As far as he could tell, Lucius had no reason to be punishing him except for the pleasure of doing so; the boy's father was truly his friend, but he was also truly possessed of some very unflattering qualities.
"Go to the hospital wing," he instructed. "Tell Madame Pomfrey I sent you for a Sleeping Draught; you'll be able to sleep it off."
Draco hunched his shoulders and looked up at him. "I don't need that," he insisted. "I can apologise..."
Infuriating. "It's interfering with your classes," he said, instead of telling him his reaction, his desperate need to be forgiven for nothing he had done wrong, was disgusting. It wasn't his fault, he supposed, but that didn't mean he liked seeing it. "Sleep it off, and inform me if this happens again."
Draco hunched over further, expression stricken with shame, until he hid it.
He could hear more students in the common room; he thought about telling Draco that it was his father who needed to fix this, not him, but he didn't think he would hear it. He turned without another word and left before they could be interrupted by any of the other boys.
Then he used the floo fireplace in his office to throw a note into Malfoy manor, calling for Lucius to come meet him in person.
---
They took a corner table on the upper floor of the Three Broomsticks. He took a single whisky to nurse, largely because he knew it annoyed Rosmerta to no end when he did so, but also because he was still ostensibly on duty at the school. Her table would be well paid-for, anyway; Lucius was hardly chary with his wine.
Whatever Lucius was feeling that was being reflected in Draco, he wasn't showing it. Nor would he expect him to; Lucius' capacity for compartmentalisation was second to none, not even his own. He sat with all the poise and casual good humour natural to Lucius when he was in any situation he controlled, which was by and large all of them.
"Your blood curse is interfering with my teaching," he said, after all the niceties were out of the way.
"It isn't a curse," Lucius said with mild-mannered dismissiveness.
It most certainly was, but there was no sense arguing about it. "Regardless," he said with equal dismissiveness. "It's becoming a problem. I'm sure you don't want attention drawn to it."
Lucius thoughtfully swirled his wine. "He's acting out? He should know better."
He gave him a severe look, quashing his own irritation. Of course he expected the child to hide what was happening. "Not obviously, but he is eleven. He is going to show it when he is in pain."
"I'll have to work on that."
Severus carefully divorced himself from the hints of offended disgust that reaction engendered in him. He didn't know what else he had expected, honestly. "In the meantime, consider rethinking your approach," he said, rationally instead of emotionally. "You may find it satisfying, but leaving him with your anger and no explanation isn't teaching him any lessons; it's just torture."
"You make it sound like a conscious choice to be angry."
"As though you have had a sustained emotion you didn't carefully inspect and consciously allow yourself to indulge in the last twenty years," he said dryly.
Lucius chuckled into his wine and didn't deny it. "He knows what he did wrong."
"I guarantee, if he knew, he would be falling over himself to repent. He wasn't able to eat tonight; I'm sure you remember how that feels." He sipped his whisky for its warming glow. "Personally, I see no cause for your anger either. If this is about his detention, the infraction was minor, merely an instance of being out of bed after curfew. I wouldn't even have bothered with detention for it, if it had been up to me. I hope you're not so draconian you'd hold that against him to this extent."
"He should have known better than to be caught," Lucius pointed out. "But no, that's a learning opportunity. However, he's supposed to be making connections with Harry Potter, not antagonising him and making a fool of himself in front of him."
"Is that all? Draco has the right idea there; Harry Potter is a useless, arrogant little brat."
"That may be, but his actual value has yet to be established."
"None," he asserted, allowing himself a scowl. "There is absolutely nothing special about that boy. There's no point in dragging your name down by forcing your son to associate with him. Even if there were a chance he would be receptive, which there is not."
Lucius considered him thoughtfully over his glass for a long moment while Rosmerta dropped off another and continued until they were alone again. Then he gave a measured shrug. "I trust your judgement," he allowed. "It will be something of a relief if he does turn out to be unsuitable. It does remain that Draco didn't do as he was told, though."
He stared unblinking at him. The most infuriating thing about this situation was that he genuinely believed Lucius didn't actually mean anything by his behaviour. He cared for his son -- loved him, probably even liked him. It was just that petty sadism was his only real vice. Having power over people was intoxicating to him, and when he had it he simply had to flaunt it, sometimes even against his own interests. Even, apparently, when it was his own son. "You don't sound like yourself anymore, Lucius."
Lucius raised a very judgemental eyebrow at him.
"I seem to recall a drunken tirade about the cruelty of being enslaved to one's bloodline not so many years ago."
"A moment of weakness," Lucius said dismissively.
"Indeed." He sipped his whisky distantly. "I wonder what it is about becoming a father that turns men into monsters."
Lucius's eyes narrowed, and he sat his barely-touched glass in the middle of the table. "Well, thank you for the invitation, Severus," he said with bland, cool propriety as he stood. "It's been depressing as always."
"It has," Severus agreed, and didn't watch him as he left. He stayed there for a while, alone, to finish his drink.
---
The next morning, Draco came to breakfast energetic and apparently untroubled, with plenty of appetite, and that was good to see.

Hi, I read a fanfic where Draco saves Hermione during malfoy manner by giving her a necklace that reduces the effects of the cruciatus curse. It is discovered afterwards that she can't take it off, and it kind of binds Draco and Hermione together. They meet at Hogwarts 8th year. Know any fanfics similar to this concept? Thanks in advance.
Try these:
Out of Hand By: relativelypositive - M, 40 chapters - She was only trying to shock Ron. She didn’t mean for it to go any further. Instead, she made a faux pas that turned Hogwarts upside down. 6th Year AU. Dramione.
Soulfully Yours By: jamcreynolds - M, 34 chapters, Words: 163,290 - Draco saves Hermione when she and the other two-thirds of the Golden Trio are brought to Malfoy Manor, becoming fatally injured in the process. Hermione heals him and saves his life in turn, forging a soul bond between the two of them. Follow their story through the rest of the war and the summer that follows.
Bonded - lnscmn_t - E, 35 chapters - “You and Hermione Granger were accidentally married in a soul-bonding ceremony.“ "Right, and how do we undo that?” He asked, desperate. “You don’t undo it, Draco. You’re bound by souls now. Forever”. ___ Accidentally married in an indissoluble union, Draco and Hermione have to learn to overcome their own fears and prejudices to move on with their lives. Together.
Sacrifice, or How Draco Malfoy fell for Hermione Granger By: craaazyaboutMalfoy - M, 13 chapters - When she’s kidnapped by death eaters, Hermione Granger learns that her blood is a key ingredient in a potion to resurrect Voldemort. However, it only works if she’s a virgin. Trapped in the bowels of Malfoy Manor, can she convince Draco Malfoy to help her out? Post-war Eighth Year EWE.
Tethered - KoraKwidditch - E, 17 chapters - When Hermione discovers Sirius is still in the Veil, she sets out to bring him back by any means necessary. Unfortunately, those means involve Draco Malfoy.| An accidental bonding story that proves three things: Hermione Granger makes mistakes too, the Ministry isn’t as noble as she previously thought, and love really is the most powerful magic of them all.
Blessed Samhain by CosmicCthulhu - E, 4 chapters - “Granger,” he wrapped his hand around her wrist before she could completely leave. “Sorry for laughing, it’s just – Merlin, what a ridiculous idea that is…” “Malfoy!” “Do you have any plans for later in the night?” he looked at her. His silver eyes met her honey ones. Her mind conjured up old memories of their time together and she wondered if he was also thinking about their encounter, years ago. “Why do you care?” “It’s Samhain, Granger. We’ll be gathering on the castle ruins up north, at midnight.” “You should come,” Nott added with a pensive face, with a mischievous glint in his eyes. He was looking at her now as if he knew something that she didn’t and it disturbed her a bit. “The gatherings are great to attune your magic, and the more people, the merrier!” —- Or: The Slytherins invite Hermione to the festival. She might as well have fun there.
The Mirror Series: Forbidden Desire By: RZZMG - M, 5 chapters - Booking an appointment with the famous sex practitioner, Draco Malfoy, was not the sanest idea Hermione Granger ever had, but maybe now she’ll finally get the answers she’s waited 10 years for.
-Lisa

𝗔 𝗪𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗘 𝗧𝗢𝗡 𝗢𝗙 𝗪𝗜𝗭𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗟𝗗 𝗣𝗟𝗢𝗧 𝗕𝗨𝗡𝗡𝗜𝗘𝗦
So, I’ve been reading a lot of Wizarding World OC fanfics lately, mostly on Wattpad, and have since fallen back into a rabbit hole of thinking about this amazing universe. Harry Potter was one of the very first fandoms I was in, and despite everything and how much I despise and renounce She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named, I still love it and I don’t really think I’ll ever stop.
Anyways, as a result of my falling back into my love for this universe, I wound up creating a whole load of plot bunnies for assorted eras, and I thought I’d share them with you guys! I probably won’t wind up making formal intro posts for all of them or anything, but you guys are definitely free to ask me questions about any of them if you want, and I really hope you like my new babies!!
(Tagging my Wizarding World moots @luucypevensie, @dancingsunflowers-ocs, @manyfandomocs, @cecexwrites, and @ginevrastilinski-ocs - really hope you guys like these ideas!!)
FANTASTIC BEASTS ERA —
Charlotte “Charlie” Fairweather; pureblood, (former) Hufflepuff, poly Newt + Tina ship. Newt’s best friend from Hogwarts who shares his love of creatures and dropped out after he got expelled to follow him in his travels. Seen as the father of all the creatures while Newt’s the mom, and has a special bond with the Mooncalves. Total sassy sweetheart who has a heart of gold but also doesn’t take crap from anyone, and also a distinguished bisexual who’s very proud of herself for landing people as awesome as both Newt and Tina.
Amelia Jameson; half-blood, (former) Horned Serpent, poly Jacob + Queenie ship. American witch who works in the Wand Registration Department and is Tina’s only friend at work, and winds up getting pulled into the whole crazy adventure because of it. Incredibly intelligent and good at reading people, but never became an Auror because she was too scared to put herself into danger. Has had a work crush on Queenie for years, but never thought anything would come of it until she got to spend more time with her and wound up also developing feelings for Jacob (which causes her a great deal of panic for something that winds up having a happy ending).
Sylvia “Sylvie” Miller; pureblood, (former) Wampus, Bunty ship. Tina’s Auror protégé once she gets reinstated in the second movie who gets assigned to shadow her in her hunt for Grindelwald. Doesn’t see what Tina sees in Newt at all but then becomes a total hypocrite by falling head over heels for Bunty the moment she sees her. Kind of closed-off and over everything all the time, but also a secret lesbian disaster. Incredible when it comes to defensive magic and shield charms.
RIDDLE ERA —
Ptolemus Lovegood; pureblood, Ravenclaw, Tom Riddle ship. Exists in an AU where Tom never becomes Voldemort. Luna’s ancestor who definitely lives up to the Lovegood name, very dreamy and a bit odd, but an incredible artist who creates amazing magical paintings and sculptures. A bit naïve because he mostly lives inside his own head, and gets made fun of a lot by other students. Tom originally gets into a relationship with him because he thinks he can manipulate Ptolemus into helping him in his schemes, but he winds up actually falling in love with him, and Ptolemus slowly helps him overcome his anger and the darkness inside him. Basically this guy is Luna about fifty years in the future, and a bit of a manic pixie dream boy, but we love him anyway.
Sera Malfoy; pureblood, Slytherin, Orion Black ship. Everything you would expect a Malfoy to be - cold, cruel, and arrogant - but never to be made the heir to anything because she’s a woman, which she loathes. Plenty of people at Hogwarts desire her for her beauty, but she never deems anyone good enough for her. Has an on-and-off affair with Orion while he’s already betrothed to Walburga, which is super toxic and messy since Sera is mainly using him to try and get him to drop Walburga so she can be head of the Black household and Orion just wants to have the victory of sleeping with the girl everyone at Hogwarts wants. They actually wind up developing a sort of twisted connection, but break their affair off once Orion and Walburga officially get engaged. Eventually killed by Walburga after she finds out that Sera and Orion slept together one more time after they were already married and Sirius and Regulus were kids. After he moves back into his childhood home, Sirius finds a letter his father wrote to Sera but never sent, and a wrought-iron rose with a snake wrapped around the stem that she gifted him.
MARAUDERS ERA —
Orla Byrne; half-blood, Hufflepuff, Mary Macdonald ship. Daughter of a single mother who doesn’t find out her father was a wizard until she gets her Hogwarts letter, so she knows basically nothing about the wizarding world. Bonds with Mary over being Scottish witches trying to figure out this new world together, which eventually leads to them becoming cute girlfriends. Super sassy for a Hufflepuff and prone to using a lot of curse words. Also becomes besties with Mary’s band of other Gryffindor girls, but also becomes pretty tight with the Marauders, which annoys Lily before she starts returning James’s feelings.
Evelyn “Evie” Prewitt; pureblood, Ravenclaw, Narcissa Black ship. Middle child of that era’s Prewitts - Molly’s older sister and younger than the twins. Almost sorted into Slytherin and definitely showcases it - very ambitious and wants to be a politician. Meets Narcissa after they get paired together for a Charms project and start something of a more-than-friends thing, but they break it off after they graduate and Narcissa marries Lucius even though they genuinely love each other. Evie becomes a high-ranking politician in the Ministry of Magic eventually and never marries anyone else, and they wind up reconnecting and getting back together after Harry defeats Voldemort and Narcissa divorces Lucius when he goes to prison.
Nina Grey; half-blood, Hufflepuff, poly James + Lily ship. Daughter of a pureblood mother and Muggleborn wizard father, has been in ballet classes since she was really little, wanted to be a prima ballerina before she got her Hogwarts letter. Still regularly uses the Room of Requirement as a dance studio to practice her dancing, which is how she meets James when the Marauders run into the Room trying to get away from Filch after pulling a prank. Meets Lily after she sees James and Nina talking and approaches her to tell her to stay away from him, and they become friends, only for James to realize that he’s falling for Nina as well as Lily. Nina has already developed feelings for James and gains them for Lily as well the longer they’re friends, and Lily winds up realizing that she loves Nina about the same time she starts to return James’s feelings, so it’s kind of a whole mess, but they do all end up together in the end. Nina’s a total sweetheart who loves tea and reading and always wears ballet flats - basically she’s very soft-girl core and I love her.
Zachary Alonso; Muggleborn, Gryffindor, Remus ship. Son of Mexican-American Muggles/No-Majs who moved to the UK shortly after his tenth birthday, so he gets his Hogwarts letter instead of going to Ilvermorny. A bit of an outcast in his own dorm room for his first few years at Hogwarts since the Marauders are so close, but becomes friends with them in fourth year after he helps them pull off a prank. Becomes a lynx Animagus with the rest of the crew and gains the nickname Sharptooth. Only gets together with Remus towards the end of seventh year, but they’re a very sweet couple. Kind of a stereotypical Gryffindor - never backs down from a challenge, always wants to protect people, and would do very nearly anything for the people he cares about.
Clarissa Yeng; half-blood, Slytherin, Marlene McKinnon ship. Daughter of a wealthy wizarding family who are just outside of the Scared Twenty-Eight and who have sort of fallen from grace after her father married a Muggleborn witch. Determined to restore her family’s reputation, so she acts like a prime pureblood Slytherin, cold and ruthless and proud. Develops something of a rivalry with Marlene over outdoing each other in the Gryffindor-Slytherin shared classes that eventually turns to secret makeout sessions and, later, genuine romance. Naturally brutally honest and not very expressive, but also really touch-starved and craves genuine love and genuinely tries to be a better person once she and Marlene get together.
GOLDEN TRIO ERA —
Mariela Gomez; Muggleborn, (former) Thunderbird, poly Sirius + Remus ship. Transplant from America who becomes the new Muggle Studies professor in the Trio’s third year and winds up becoming very close to Remus. Winds up following him to the Shrieking Shack to help free Sirius and is kind of hurt upon seeing them interacting and realizing that they’re still in love because she was sort of developing feelings for Remus, but keeps in touch with him after he leaves Hogwarts and helps Sirius while he’s hiding out in his cave, and realizes she has feelings for both of them. Joins the Order once it gets back together and has a whole proper confession with her two boys right before the Battle of Hogwarts, and they officially get together after (because of course Sirius and Remus live, what do you take me for?). Incredibly caring and would do anything to protect her students, but also has no tolerance for people who are assholes to her or anyone else about being a Muggleborn - she winds up taking a lot of points off of Slytherin and makes an enemy of Snape because of it.
Lunella “Luna” Warbeck; pureblood, Ravenclaw, Marcus Flint ship. Daughter of the famous witch singer Celestina Warbeck, and is the exact opposite of her mother, very quiet and withdrawn. A very talented singer, however, and writes her own songs which are all really lovely. Meets Flint because she likes to sit in the Quidditch stands to write and winds up accidentally sitting in on a whole Slytherin team practice before anyone notices her. Gets accused of spying for Ravenclaw, which of course she isn’t, but Flint still invites her to the next practice as a way to show off and stick it to Ravenclaw, and then keeps inviting her and interacting with her until they eventually develop feelings. She winds up making him a better person and stopping him from joining the new Death Eaters after Hogwarts, and they actually get to have a happy ending together.
Hecate Lovegood; pureblood, Gryffindor, Fred ship. Luna’s older sister, but instead of getting bullied, goes mostly ignored by Hogwarts’s population. Autistic and only semi-verbal, so she rarely talks, and has a talent for creating enchanted jewelry. Makes friends with the twins after she lies to help get them out of trouble for a prank and abruptly becomes kind of a popular by osmosis, with a bunch of people wanting to buy her jewelry. Stays at Hogwarts after the twins drop out, but when they open Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes they offer her a whole section to sell her jewelry. She and Fred officially get together after the Battle of Hogwarts (because he lives, of course). Very much like Luna in terms of personality, but also a bit more snarky than her when someone’s being a bellend.
Zain Ahmad; half-blood, Hufflepuff, Oliver Wood ship. Hufflepuff Quidditch captain who has been Quidditch rivals with Oliver since they both started playing. Possibly the grumpiest and most sarcastic person to ever get into Hufflepuff, but still an amazing captain who’s loved by all of their players. Has the classic rivals-to-lovers thing with Oliver, but retires from Quidditch after they graduate and takes a job at the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office. Kind of an asshole with a heart of gold, doesn’t really show they care but always goes out of their way to do quietly nice things for people and would die for those they care about.
Nova Brackley; Muggleborn, Slytherin, Draco ship. A total outcast in Slytherin by virtue of being Muggleborn, but doesn’t really give a shit and can very often be seen flipping off their housemates. Incredibly talented at healing magic and sort of becomes Madam Pomfrey’s apprentice starting third year, and first meets Draco when they’re healing up his broken rib from a Quidditch game. The two of them bicker a lot because Draco feels like he has to be mean to them to keep up his reputation and Nova is not willing to take any of his shit, but they actually wind up falling in love eventually. They break up briefly after Nova can’t stop Draco from following his family into the Death Eaters (some of Draco’s angst in the sixth movie also comes from missing them), but they reconnect after the Battle of Hogwarts and eventually get back together, and Nova becomes a Healer at St. Mungo’s. Nova is basically Rosa Diaz incarnate, stone-faced and tough and not giving a shit what people think of them, but they’re also pretty funny and sweet once you actually get to know them, and they’re incredibly loyal.
Godric Marshe; pureblood, Gryffindor, Cedric ship. Named after Godric Gryffindor, of course, but very definitely doesn’t live up to his name because he basically has Neville’s relationship with magic, except his never gets better. Kind of an outcast and gets bullied a lot, and when Cedric approaches him after he’s been crushing on him for years, Godric definitely thinks it’s either a cruel joke or just the Hogwarts golden boy taking pity on him and trying to do the right thing. Rejects Cedric’s attempts at friendship for the longest time, but eventually they genuinely become friends and boyfriends later. Very quiet and insecure due to his lack of magic, but an amazing writer who slowly comes out of his shell thanks to Cedric and eventually becomes a novelist.
Allegra Pennyworthy; pureblood, Slytherin, Neville ship. Daughter of the Sacred Twenty-Eight but supports Muggleborns and doesn’t give a shit about doing what her family wants, and is something of an outcast from Slytherin because of it. Offers to help Neville in Potions since it’s her best subject, and falls him love with him through that. Eventually becomes Hogwarts’s new Potions professor when Neville takes over Herbology. A total badass, fierce and protective and cunning and never afraid to speak her mind; Neville both adores her her and fears her a little bit, and he’s basically the only person she lets herself be soft around.
Penelope Barker; Muggleborn, Gryffindor, Cho ship. A she/they partner for Cho because she deserved better. Technically Muggleborn, but was adopted by a wizard couple when she was a baby so they’ve always been familiar with the wizarding world. Much more focused on playing Quidditch than on academics, but is still best friends with Hermione and generally relies on her tutoring to pass her classes. Falls in love with Cho pretty much the very first time they see her on the Quidditch pitch, and spends years pining over her until they get to talking at the Yule Ball (Cho went by herself instead of with Cedric), and follows her into Dumbledore’s Army the next year until eventually they kiss after a meeting. Becomes a professional Quidditch player after Hogwarts, on the same team Ginny leads. Incredibly sweet but also super awkward and clumsy off of the Quidditch pitch, regularly tripping over her tongue and her own feet. Becomes a godparent to Hermione and Ron’s kids.
Aaaaand that’s all, folks! Holy shit, this is a lot (😅). As I said, not all of these babies are gonna get official intro posts or anything like that, but you’re always free to ask me whatever you want about any of them!! <3

Fic author self-rec
Rules: Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💙
Thank you for the tag @tenthousandyearsx a few weeks ago! I wanted to wait and get a couple of my WIPs ready and posted before doing it, but I'm now back to full time work so it's unlikely I'll finish those WIPs any time soon. 😢 So, here's 5 old fics of mine that I'm fond of. It's hard to choose a favourite, so I chose rather randomly, whatever popped in my head first tbh.
They're all drarry.
The Unquiet Grave (E, 21,5k, gothic vibes)
Quote: ‘What will happen is this. You’ll drag me to a poncy restaurant one evening soon, and I’ll complain about the number of forks and the size of the portions. Then I’ll drag you to my local and you’ll complain about the wine list and the clientele. This will be a recurring theme. But every time, every single time, we’ll end up in my bed — or yours — and I’ll make you forget your own name.’
My thoughts: I reread this yesterday after years, and I ended up really enjoying it. I particularly liked the dialogue in this read. I'm pretty happy with how this fic turned out. It's got a gothic mood and fits an autumnal mood; I often rec it for Halloween.
Sometimes a man needs (E, 5.5k, Flower Shop)
Quote: Harry knew what a huge mistake the whole thing was, but he’d already fallen for Malfoy, so what harm would a few more nights do? What harm would it do to kiss Malfoy some more and inhale his intoxicating smell? What harm was it that Malfoy spent almost every evening with Harry and whispered things in the dark that he never alluded to in the day? Harry was in love and in pain, but he might as well get what he could while he could.
My thoughts: I love the magical flower shop I created here, the types of flowers I came up with, and, craft-wise, I love Harry's voice. I remember I'd struggled with this fic, starting and deleting, starting and deleting, until I got a handle on Harry's voice and then it flowed in a morning.
The Gift (E, 29,5k, Captive Prince references)
Quote: Draco’s desires — at least where Potter is concerned — are a tangle, messed up like he is. A war of contradictions: Draco wants to please Potter, and he wants to hurt him. He wants to see Potter in ecstasy, but he can’t allow himself to be the one to do it. So, he’s chosen another way, a way that gives and takes at the same time.
‘You’ve been such a good boy so far,’ Draco tells Potter and watches with pleasure his instant reaction, the blood colouring his face. ‘I think you deserve a treat for being so good. So… obedient. Which is why Adam here will give you a… gift.’
My thoughts: Used to have complicated feelings about this one. I'd hidden it for years and only revealed it a couple of months ago. Draco is a writer here and channels many of my doubts and insecurities. It's not a fic that has a wide appeal, not cute or fluffy at all, but I love my prose here and I had fun with inserting CaPri nods and writing excerpts of a magical CaPri story.
The Boy Who Died (E, 26.8k, Voldemort Wins AU)
Quote: At times he thought he noticed his own lust mirrored in Malfoy’s gaze, like when he cooked and Harry sat on the kitchen table, mouth and fingers sticky with treacle syrup or brown sugar, or when Harry left the shower in his pyjama bottoms, his hair soft like a waterfall down his bare shoulders. Harry had taken to sleeping topless; he couldn’t get used to Malfoy’s fancy pyjamas, and although Malfoy had looked extremely put out the first time, he didn’t object.
My thoughts: I'm just so fond of this one! I thought of the reincarnation plot because of wangxian and I peppered some wangxian Easter eggs in this fic, but I didn't expect to fall in love with this dystopian, Voldemort Wins 'verse. It's a bleak world but somehow this fic has become one of my comfort reads and I've reread it often since posting it.
Through the Looking Glass and What Draco Found There (E, 17.4k, Mirror of Erised alternate dimension)
Quote: Getting to know Harry was to love him: hearing him laugh at Weasley’s jokes, watching him sleep, witnessing his passionate devotion to what was right and the ardor with which he supported his friends. He had butterflies in his stomach just at the sight of him; a sentiment he attempted to hide under a mask of cool detachment, because if anyone found out, Draco would be kicked out of Slytherin for incurable soppiness.
My thoughts: I love the Mirror universe I came up with, and am proud of the treatment of the Shrieking Shack in this fic, which I haven't seen elsewhere. It's one of my works I'm most proud of. I didn't expect it'd be emotional, but I've received a bunch of comments, some of them very recently, saying it made readers cry. oops?
I'm guessing many of you have done the latest round of this author game. So, tagging everyone who hasn't done it and wants to! Would love to see the fics you rec and why xx
