I know JKR is a terrible person and you won’t catch me defending her but making Harry’s best friends mirrors of his dead parents was a galaxy brained move if ever there was one.

Title: Crossfire
Pairing: Romione
Rating: General Audiences
Summary: Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived Through Ron and Hermione Planning a Wedding
🔹🔹🔹🔹
“Dorian with the save! The score remains 30-20.”
“Good,” mumbled Harry from his seat on the couch. If the Arrows lost today, the Harpies would be in the playoffs with a win tomorrow.
His peaceful afternoon of Quidditch on the wireless was interrupted by the whoosh of the Floo.
“Harry!”
“Mate, we need you.”
Harry groaned and rubbed a hand over his face. “What is it this time?”
When Ron and Hermione had announced their engagement, Harry had been thrilled that after all these years his two best friends were together and happy. At the same time, it was a little unsettling for him to officially become their eternal third wheel (at least when Ginny was away).
Unfortunately, their engagement meant Harry found himself reluctantly thrust into the role of Ron and Hermione wedding mediator. Last week, he had moderated a forty five minute fight about the salad they were serving even though Harry was fairly certain he had never seen Ron eat a salad.
Read the rest here!

I have a feeling that Harry writes romione fanfiction on Tumblr from an anonymous account when he can't sleep and Ginny says no to cuddling

Reagan: Ron annoyed me today so I told them that I can’t wait to see what they have planned for our special day tomorrow.
Brett: There is nothing special about tomorrow.
Reagan: But there is something special about watching the color leave their face as panic takes over.

The fact that Harry Potter was the main character and still was a third wheel 99% of the time makes me so happy

My favorite reclist of the year! It’s the best excuse to reread beloved fics and shout about them again. I couldn’t wait any longer to post it, so, without further ado: here are my personal favorites from 2023 and why I love them, along with a banner I’m really pleased with. 
Thank you, sweet writers, for giving us your wonderful stories. Wishing everyone a happy December and an amazing and soft new year!
I Fall On Grass by @tackytigerfic Drarry, T, 3.1k
I adore stories with mature characters and this one is no exception. It’s so charming: gentle pining over the years, throughout the realities of life and parenthood, written with such a light hand. And lovely worldbuilding of a slow life that they built for themselves, which left me smiling the whole day after reading it. It feels like a soft caress for my soul.
It’s Me or the Peacock by harrows Drarry, T, 4.6
Do you ever feel like reading a fun, lighthearted fic that will have you grinning all day? Look no further, this is the one. Picture this: established Drarry taking the plunge to move in together, except Draco is bringing his “avian third wheel” with him, adding a feathered twist to the mix. Harry can’t quite believe what’s happening and that’s not even the half of it. This fic is a delight!
Sun Shower by @moonmanatee Drarry, T, 6k
Meet Orkie (short for Snorkel), the delightful cat who loves his boy Harry very much. They share a special bond, silently understanding not to delve into the origins of their pasts. What matters most is their companionship and the comforting routine they’ve woven together. Now, enter Draco Malfoy, a fashion icon with phenomenal outfits, his mud-loving dog, Hubert, and a dash of mouthwatering culinary creations. Your heart will grow three sizes by the time you’re done reading; mine certainly did.
Birds Behaving Badly by @peachpety Drarry, E, 10.5k
Oh, this fic!! I swear my whole body was wiggling with delight when I read it – it’s hilarious and hot and so witty. Draco has a type, which leads to a fun case of mistaken identity, all artfully resolved with the intervention of a conniving seagull, Kevin. Brace yourself for some sassy Slytherin banter, side characters so vividly portrayed they’ll steal your heart (Goyle, I’m looking at you), and the enchanting backdrop of a magical Brighton in the summer. Cue the squeals of delight! 
A Saviour’s Guide to Manners and Decorum by @wolfpants Drarry, E, 13k
I have read every fic Wolf has written this year and, let me tell you, choosing just one feels like an impossible task – I wish I could include them all. But here is my pick, and it’s not because it happened to be my birthday gift. This fic is a gem, seamlessly blending humor with a soft, wistful touch (oh, and do I need to mention it’s also incredibly hot?). It resonates because Harry just wants to be accepted for who he is, refusing to change for anyone (as he rightly shouldn't!). Enter Draco, who is here to help, and not to “fix him”. Sprinkle that with a subtle hint of D/s dynamics, a generous serving of UST, and a sensual shaving scene, and you have got the perfect fic. LOVE!
I only want the ones I envy (I envy) by @porcelainheart3 Drarry, E, 13.5k
This fic is so stunning! A coming-out story with writing so clean and sharp it made me laugh out loud through (lots of) inevitable tears. It has a very competent magical inventor Draco, who wears sock garters(!). It has Harry on a self-discovery journey that feels so very real; with a heart-wrenching childhood flashback that will leave you shattered. It has the most supportive friends. It has banter and flirting and so many wonderful details (look closely at the newspaper in the fic for an extra dose of laughter). And let's not forget the most incredibly emotional blow job; talk about smut with feelings! It’s one of those fics that made me read the rest of the author’s catalog immediately (and trust me, you should too!).
A Time, Dark and Divine by @moonflower-rose Established Drarry, Draco/Ron/Harry, E, 17k
Oh boy oh boy oh boy, this fic is so scorching hot. And their dynamic is so complex: jealousy and possessiveness wrapped up in a delicious package of a boys' trip in Thailand. A stunning Ron POV filled to the brim with complicated history and tension, incredible characterization for all three of them, culminating, inevitably, in hot-hot-hot sex. I couldn’t get this story out of my head for days. If you, like me, like feelings with your smut, this one’s for you! 
Waking Up Slow by @sweet-s0rr0w and @ihopeyoubothstaysafefromharm Drarry, E, 22k
This story is so charming and whimsical! First of all, this Draco is such an utter delight that I fell in love with him right away. He’s so entertaining! The concept of Christmas in July gives the story a wonderfully atmospheric and slightly wistful tone. Add to it a very domestic and playful dynamic between Draco and Harry, top-notch dialogue, so many creative details, and an absolutely delicious and intimate sex scene. From beginning to end, this fic is so warm and touching; a gentle romance that feels as if it was enchantingly sprinkled with a cheering charm.
the first in line by @oflights Drarry, E, 29.5k
This fic is hilarious, mischievous, and sexy all at the same time. And also a little bit unhinged in the best possible way. It had me in its grip from the very first sentence: “When the clock strikes midnight on his 25th birthday, Harry is having a threesome with a werewolf and a vampire.” (chef’s kiss!) and it didn’t let me go. We have a reluctant and grumpy Veela Harry, an over-the-top Draco, summer vacation vibes, a magical yacht, wooing with a hot air balloon (and more!), plus an absolutely delightful non-monogamous background Romione. Gah!!!
Of Magical Beings Being - Magic by @rockingrobin69 Drarry, E, 30k
What’s actually magic here is Robin’s writing. It’s… wait, I don’t think I have words for how rich and full this world is, how special! There’s pining and soft angst and an unreliable narrator and exes to lovers, but somehow all that doesn’t even begin to describe what this story is. It’s witty and fascinating and soft and playful. It’s about loving the other person so much that you do the wrong thing because you think that’s what they want, even though it hurts you. It’s about manifesting them in everything you do until they come back. It’s about Love, about Happiness. It knocked the breath out of me. It’s unbearably lovely.
Winner takes it all by @skeptiquewrites Drarry, E, 41k
This fic is absolutely devastating in a sort of gentle way. My heart broke a million times for this wonderful, hardworking, cornered Draco – who’s looking after his mum – as well as for a whole bunch of beautifully written side characters. The story starts with a bet, and from there, it unravels with Tee's razor-sharp writing, infused with nuance that makes the narrative incredibly rich and undeniably real. If you're in the mood for a cathartic cry, followed by a sweet, happy ending, don't walk – run to this fic!

People often bring up JKR saying she considered putting Hermione with someone else as a reason to not ship Romione, or even as a reason to dislike Ron entirely.
However, this reasoning doesn't make sense because even if Hermione was with Harry or Fred or Draco, it still wouldn't change anything about her dynamic with Ron.
Ron would still be protective over Hermione. He defends her, just like he does for Harry. He stands up for her. He fights in her honor, even when she doesn't need him to. He's a great friend.
They would still bicker like a married couple. Harry's annoyance at this was only met with confusion from Ron and Hermione because to them it's fun. They match each other's energy.
They would still spend time alone together. This fact is especially significant because even Harry has expressed on multiple occasions how weird it feels to hang out with just Hermione.
They would remain immensely important to each other and to each other's growth regardless of who she dated.
And it especially would not have changed their roles in the story and in Harry's life. Fred wouldn't replace Ron as Harry's best friend. Ron wouldn't become the "bad guy" so Draco could be good. And Harry and Hermione being together wouldn't make Ron the third-wheel.
Even without the romantic angle, they are still a great representation of a healthy female-male friendship.

The Lifeaters (III.3)

III. Your greatest fear
MASTERLIST
Chapter Summary: Your classes test you in unimaginable ways 
Pairings: Draco Malfoy x Fem!Reader (platonic)
Warnings: Cursing, magical objects, Mugglephobia, classism, charms and curses, might miss some warnings
Wordcount: 3,4 k
Notes: I’m adapting a lot of parts of the books… hehe…
Have you seen Brooklyn 99? if you have you’ll now this
If you see something say something, come on and party tonighttttt wooooooo
Tumblr media
Tuesday nor Wednesday Draco went to classes, his arm still tightly taped to his side, you helped him in what you could, no, actually, in what he would let you help him, you offered to carry his bag but he made Goyle do it, he wouldn’t let you personally carry his things or help him up, nothing that would require strength, you wanted to feel insulted, but what he truly meant is that he did not wanted you to “trouble” yourself
Also he was enjoying the attention you and Pansy were giving him, letting you fix his hair and robes, and even help him eat
It felt nice to help a friend
So Thursday you had potions, and Dray could not miss that.
Most classes would put aside one block, one hour and a half of your schedule, but not potions.
Many took too long to prepare, so once a week, you had THREE consecutive hours to brew potions and be almost tortured by Professor Snape
Even though they were almost on the same floor, the potions classroom was nothing like your common room. It was stuffy, damp and the various smells from the potions made it really hard to breathe or have a nice time, on the contrary, it also depended on the potion that was being brewed, sometimes they made the air lighter, so every class was everyone’s guess.
All eyes where on you when you arrived with Draco to the potions classroom, you shared the class with the Gryffindors, and many of them looked annoyed when they saw Dray’s grimace 
Pansy wouldn’t leave your side either.
You didn’t know how to feel
You liked her, she was your friend, but you were not used to a “third wheel” in yours and Draco’s relationship, before there was Vince, Greg and even Matthew near him, but they couldn’t get that close to him
Pansy was managing to do so, and it made you a bit queasy 
Draco whimpered when you settle in your places and Pansy was on him on a 
"How is it, Draco?”, she asked, in a tone a bit sweet for your taste, "Does it hurt much?"
“Yes”, he said, trying to show himself brave, but as soon as Pansy looked away, he winked at Greg and Vince, you slapped his good arm, annoyed, he looked back at you apologetically
Your attention was called by Snape, the class was going to start
You were a bit late, but your professor didn’t say anything, you enjoyed more… freedom… with the head of your house than with other teachers, it almost made you a bit embarrassed
But then you remembered all teachers who were heads of houses had a soft spot for their students, Snape had a soft spot for you lot, his house.
“Today were going to be making a Shrinking solution”, snape Introduced, “please take out your ingredients” 
You were sharing one of the big tables with Potter, Granger, Longbottom, Weasley, Greg, Vince, Draco and Pansy
"Sir," Dray called, "sir, I'll need help cutting up these daisy roots, because of my arm…", you looked at him, wanting to offer your help, but Snape had other plans
"Weasley, cut up Malfoy's roots for him"
“I can do it”, you whispered to him, but he shook you off
“He told Wesley to do it”, he said with a smirk, oh how he was enjoying this
"There's nothing wrong with your arm," Ron accused him
"Weasley, you heard Professor Snape; cut up these roots”, he demanded, and Weasley started to masacre those poor roots
“Professor!”, called Draco, “Weasley is mutilating my roots!”, Snape even seemed happy with this arrangements
“Weasley, change roots with Malfoy”, he demanded, and you could barely choke in a giggle
So the redhead had to spend double time trying to fix his roots for himself to use, you tried to focus on your own ingredients, but Draco had you a bit on edge.
Don’t misinterpret this, it was fun to pick on Potter and Weasley, but not in the middle on the potions class, when many things could go wrong
"And, sir, I'll need this shrivelfig skinned," said Dray, pushing his luck, you actually liked working with the plant
“I can do it Dray”, you offered, and you felt Pansy’s heated gaze on you 
"Potter, you can skin Malfoy's shrivelfig," was the response
“It’s no trouble”, you insisted
“He said Potter to do it”, Draco said with a smile
Potter was quick to skin those poor plants, and slided them over the table at Draco as quickly as he could. Draco’s face was one of victory, he seemed pleased with himself. 
Oh but not yet
"Seen your pal Hagrid lately?", he asked them with a mean smirk
"None of your business," responded Weasley.
It was a sore topic, you did not like the turn it had taken
"I'm afraid he won't be a teacher much longer," Said Draco. "Father's not very happy about my injury… he complained to the school’s governors and all", he said, sighing, “And a lasting injury like this…who knows if my arm will ever be the same again?". You wanted to tell him to drop it, you did, back in the common room, but he wouldn’t listen, the horrible gash in his arm looked terrible.
“So that’s why you are doing this!”, said Potter, “you want to get him sacked!”
“Well, maybe”, teased Draco, “Weasley, why don’t you slice up my caterpillars for me?”
The Redhead was about to throw his cauldron at him, when Professor Snape walked by the table, looking into Longbottom’s cauldron
"Tell me, boy, does anything penetrate that thick skull of yours? Didn't you hear me say, quite clearly, that only one spleen was needed? Didn't I state plainly that a dash of leech juice would suffice? What do I have to do to make you understand, Longbottom?", his potion was the wrong color, and Neville looked like he was about to cry. 
"Please, sir," said Granger, there was something about her tone that you really found annoying, "I could help Neville put it right…", you couldn’t help but rolled your eyes, and Draco at your side snickered 
"I don't remember asking you to show off, Miss Granger," you couldn’t help but smile, Snape always saw right through the golden trio, "Longbottom, at the end of this lesson we will feed a few drops of this potion to your toad and see what happens. Perhaps that will encourage you to do it properly.", now that made you raise your eyes from your cauldron up to Neville, who’s hands started shaking
"Help!" he moaned, looking at the entire table
"Hey", said Seamus Finnigan, a Gryffindor who no matter what he was doing, he always managed to provoke an explosion, "Sirius Black's been sighted”, he said, you and Draco shared looks, “it’s all over the daily prophet”
"Where?" asked Potter, all the table were listening
"Dufftown," said Seamus, who looked excited. "It was a Muggle who saw him. By the time the Ministry of Magic got there, he was gone."
"Not too far from here... " said Granger, then Weasley catches us looking
"What, Malfoy? Need something else skinned?", he asked
But Draco was looking at Potter with malice, and you knew exactly was he was about to say
 "Thinking of trying to catch Black single-handed, Potter?", he teased "Yeah, that's right," responded Potter, ever the petulant fool 
You knew what was coming, you had discussed it at length, Sirius black was the one that betrayed Harry’s Parents, causing them to die in the hands of the Dark Lord
"Of course, if it was me, I'd be out there looking for him.", said Draco, “I wouldn’t be staying in school like a good boy”
"What are you talking about, Malfoy?", asked Weasley. And you looked at Potter’s face, looking for any clue, but now it dawned on you… he didn’t know. He didn’t know what Black had done, of course you did, because uncle Lucius didknow, he was deep in the Ministry. 
But Potter didn’t know what Sirius had done to his family, and why he was out, probably looking for him.
"Don't you know, Potter?", asked Draco, truly surprised, but he looked like he did on Christmas mornings
"Know what?". Draco laughed cruelly, it made your skin crawl.
"Maybe you'd rather not risk your neck," he said. "Want to leave it to the dementors, do you? But if it was me, I'd want revenge. I'd hunt him down myself."
"What are you talking about?" asked Potter angrily
You were going to tell Draco to stop, but Snape did it for you, calling the attention of the entire class 
"You should have finished adding your ingredients by now; this potion needs to stew before it can be drunk, so clear away while it simmers and then we'll test Longbottom's... "
Neville stirred his cauldron miserably, with his mouth twisted in agony
You put away your things and Draco before he could say anything, you were somewhat happy that your potion was the right shade of color
A few minutes later, Snape was standing next to Neville, Theo and Matt stood by your side, to watch
"Everyone gather 'round," said Snape, “and watch what happens to Longbottom's toad. If he has managed to produce a Shrinking Solution, it will shrink to a tadpole. If, as I don't doubt, he has done it wrong, his toad is likely to be poisoned”, you grabbed onto the hand that was closest to you, it was Theo’s, he looked at you alarmed, but you only watched as snape with a special instrument took a bit of the potion, while he held Trevor on his other hand
“Professor…”, you couldn’t help it, you were not thinking, Snape looked at you with those dark glistening eyes, “Trevor will… die?”, you asked fearfully, “we understand the consequences Sir, I don’t think it’s necessary…”
He seemed truly surprised 
“Hush your mouth Basilik, unless you want your points removed”, he said angrily. The Gryffindor seemed truly surprised as you intervened 
Theo didn’t released you, you squeezed his hands waiting for the inevitable, if that was Umbra instead, you’d be crying, as Neville shed a single tear of his trembling cheek 
Snape fed Trevor a spoonful of the potion…
You could drop a pin on the classroom and it would be heard loudly, everyone was looking expectantly… and then, with a pop, Trevor had become a tiny little tadpole.
You released Theo, taking a deep breath, relieved… 
Snape, who seemed like he didn’t get any presents for Christmass, took a vial from the insides of his robes and turn Trevor into his normal size again 
"Five points from Gryffindor," said Snape, which wiped the smiles from every face. "I told you not to help him, Miss Granger. Class dismissed." 
You never walked out of potions so quickly, dragging a laughing Draco with you
You went to the great hall to have lunch, not before you sneaking out to the inner courtyard to take a long breath of fresh air, Winter was looming in and you could already feel the chill in the air even though the trees were already turning orange
You weren’t alone
“Hey, ppssttt”, you heard a shushing noise, you looked to your side and saw Theo and Matthew, hiding under the threshold of the castle’s door. Theo was hiding something on his robes
“What?”, you asked, coming near them, they clearly wanted to show me something, but you thought better of it, “I swear for Merlin’s fluffy robes that if I look into something remotely inappropriate I will tell Snape…”
You heard a croak, and your curiosity got the better of you and you looked inside
Theo was hiding a toad, and not just any toad
“Is that Trevor?”, you asked them both who started laughing
“Maybe”, he giggled
“You stole him?”, you asked them, scandalized, and then you looked into both their eyes, “no…”
“What?”, asked Theo
“Please don’t hurt him”, you begged them, honestly scared for the poor familiar
“I will not!”, Theo said, he seemed offended that you believed he was going to hurt him
“Why did you steal it?”, you asked them
“Longbottom didn’t have the guts, he was going to let Snape poison him!”, he said, taking Trevor out of his robes and caressing his tiny head, he was cute… for a toad… 
“So what’s your plan?”, you asked the pair, and they shared looks
“We are going to keep him…”, said Theo
“Yeah, and share custody”, muttered Matt
“What are you three doing with Longbottom’s toad?”, you three freezed at the unmistakable voice of Severus Snape, you three turned slowly, and shaking
“Stealing is not tolerated at Hogwarts”, he said with his dark, dragging voice, “Miss Basilik you interrupt and question my teaching methods and then you steal a classmate’s familiar, this is unacceptable”
“Sir! but…!”
“And furthermore you send a request my way to drop the divination class… not so fast… Gaunt”, he said, grabbing into Matt’s robes who had tried to escape. You looked up at him with wide eyes, “well, lucky for you I found a way to solve your little problem, and… give you and Mister Nott and mister Gaunt a lesson…”
“Which is?”, asked Theo fearfully
“Ancient Runes as Arithmancy are full… but not Muggles studies…”
“No…”, you all whimpered at the same time 
“Congratulations, you three are the very first Slytherins in taking the class”, he said with a smirk that was going to haunt your worst nightmares for years to come.
You didn’t even dared to tell Draco, Matthew, Theo and you looked like you just had seen a ghost, you barely ate… you were so… frighten
It did not help what Professor Lupin had in store for Defense against the Dark class after lunch…
“Boggarts!”, presented Lupin, as he stood in the middle of an empty classroom, with a huge cabinet that was moving like it had something inside it, and it did, “can anybody tell me.. what a Boggart looks like?”. he asked
“No one knows!”, said Granger, “boggarts are shapeshifters, they take on the shape of what that person fears the most, that is why they are so…”
“So terrifying, yes…”, he looked back at the cabinet, “Luckily, there is a very simple spell to repel them, everyone says it with me, wands away… Riddikulus!”, he pronounced in a way that was a bit contrary to what your minds told you to pronounced it
“Ri…di…kulus”, you practiced
“This class is ridiculous”, mocked Draco
Once you had practiced the spell, Lupin put you all in a line
The boggart turned into cobras, spiders… many things… and then… you were standing in front of a turning mesh… a cloud-like creature who was reading your mind to find whatever frightened you the most…
You thought about many things that frightened you, total darkness, being completely alone, death? many, many things, but then… something came out on top
The boggart started taking shape, and the result was a huge mass that almost touched the ceiling with his ugly head…. or rather… lack thereof
Trolls were huge, and this one wasn’t the exception, except… it didn't have a head!
A headless troll, with a bloody stomp where his head should be, was standing in front of you
You couldn’t help but whine in fear, wanting to take a step back
“Well, I have to admit, this is an unusual one”. laughed Lupin
“I can’t believe it Basilik!”, said Draco behind you, and you couldn’t stop looking at it, “still?”, you heard laughs behind you, and that only made you whimper more 
“Wand at the ready Basilik”, said Lupin, who seemed ready to jump, it wasn’t until that thing tried to hit you with his wooden club that you snapped out of your stupor
“Riddikulus!”, you said, in a second the headless troll became a big voodoo-looking doll, that fell to the ground as it was filled with sand
You kept hearing laughs behind you, and Professor Lupin applauded
“Very good Basilik! very good! Potter, you are next!”
Everyone was expectant of what Potter’s boggart was going to be, and you feared the most
A Dementor showed itself in front of you… well… at least it wasn’t the Dark Lord
Lupin stood in front of him, casted the spell, and… he dismissed the class despite the complains of the res of the class
Potter had the tendency of ruining things 
But if the first class was any indication, finally you had a competent Defense against the Dark Arts teacher, and you were excited, despite hearing Draco talking very rudely about Lupin’s appearance.
He did look like he had been attacked by a pack of Wampuses
. . .
The rest of the week, and for the weekend you three were acting as you were guilty of committing an awful crime and everybody was suspecting you. Draco was too “angry” at you for dropping divination that he didn't even ask you what you were going to take instead. Theo and Matthew were as skittish as you, avoiding the subject altogether 
You didn’t even know how everyone else was going to react when you told them, nobody of your house had taken that class 
It wasn’t until the very next week on Monday that you had your first Muggle Studies class
“I can’t believe this is Snape’s idea of a punishment, Longbottom haven’t even noticed that Trevor was missing”, muttered Theo
You had to admit you were somewhat excited… you didn’t even know what to expect, it was a complete mystery of what was going to happen inside that classroom
“An entire year with Muggle studies”, muttered Matthew, “I bet that if we bother that professor enough, she will let us switch”
“I don’t think we should play along with that, it was a miracle they let us change and… Arithmancy and Ancient runes are full”, you muttered, “and we HAVE to take two electives”, you whispered 
That Hufflepuff girl thought you were trying to prank her when you asked her where the muggle studies classroom was.
It was in a part of the castle that you weirdly had walked through a bunch of times, but never took the time to actually tell. 
You walked into the classroom, looking everywhere with surprise in your eyes, the room was filled with… unusual things… muggle things, in the corner, there was this… round transparent object that was glowing! What was that about? they couldn’t use magic!
You then noticed that a complete silence had installed in the room and when you looked around you realized that you were being stared at by the entire class. Some of them even had their mouths wide open at the sight of the three of you
Let’s just say that you would have more luck experiencing a 31st of February than spotting a Slytherin in a Muggle studies class, let alone three, let alone Matthew Gaunt that by this point… had a certain reputation inside the school. 
In front of the class, there was a sweet looking woman, wearing what you guessed was  muggle clothing, she was wearing some school pants, bluish ones, they look so comfortable
“Is this another joke?”, she asked shakily as she saw you three coming in, “Snape is my friend you know, and I’m allowed to take points from Slytherin as well as any other teacher”, she said, she reminded you of Neville 
“Please Professor, this isn’t a mockery”, you tried to explain quickly, your new classmates looked at surprised as the teacher to see three Slytherins in there, “we really want to take this class”, you said, it wasn’t specially true but… whatever 
“You three are warned! any funny business and I will talk with Snape and have you suspended!”, she threatened, and you nodded quickly, so you went and took a seat quickly in the back of the class, and you stayed quiet the entire lesson.
“I may or may not have… pranked her several times last year”, whispered Matthew to your ear 
Even so, both Matthew and Theo were in their best behavior for the first time.
And you had to admit… it was more interesting than you thought.

Reflections on Luna's Intro Chapters
Luna has to be my fav HP girl. I couldn't care less if the other HP girls died (especially Ginny and Hermione) but I just find Luna so adorable and entertaining. Just some book 5 snippets I find interesting.
“What are you talking about?” said Ginny, who had squeezed past Neville to peer into the compartment behind him. “There’s room in this one, there’s only Loony Lovegood in here —”
I can't believe there are people so desperate for HP femlash that they pair poor Luna with a bitch like Ginny. I can see where the appeal comes from but no, just no. Why are the female friendships in HP so shallow and nondescript??
She closed the door again, rather pink in the face, and departed. Harry slumped back in his seat and groaned. He would have liked Cho to discover him sitting with a group of very cool people laughing their heads off at a joke he had just told; he would not have chosen to be sitting with Neville and Loony Lovegood, clutching a toad and dripping in Stinksap.
Neville deserves better friends. Neville is so Harry's pity friend. I will never forgive Horrid Harry comparing sweet Neville to Peter Pettigrew.
“She didn’t enjoy it very much,” Luna informed him. ��She doesn’t think you treated her very well, because you wouldn’t dance with her. I don’t think I’d have minded,” she added thoughtfully, “I don’t like dancing very much.”
I don't ship Runa but Luna and Ron are so cute together. I wouldn't have minded this ship over Romione. At least Luna would not be prone to physically assaulting Ron and underestimating his talents. But I prefer Runa as a sibling relationship.
“Anything good in there?” asked Ron as Harry closed the magazine. “Of course not,” said Hermione scathingly, before Harry could answer, “The Quibbler’s rubbish, everyone knows that.” “Excuse me,” said Luna; her voice had suddenly lost its dreamy quality. “My father’s the editor.” “I — oh,” said Hermione, looking embarrassed. “Well . . . it’s got some interesting . . . I mean, it’s quite . . .” “I’ll have it back, thank you,” said Luna coldly, and leaning forward she snatched it out of Harry’s hands. Rifling through it to page fifty-seven, she turned it resolutely upside down again and disappeared behind it, just as the compartment door opened for the third time.
I love how Hermione is the only person Luna is cold towards. That's my girl!
“Yeah,” said Harry, “but you, unlike me, are a git, so get out and leave us alone.” Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Neville laughed. Malfoy’s lip curled.
Druna crumbs! Luna is the only person who did not laugh. Maybe because she is the only one with good enough humor to recognize a lame joke. You can do better than that Harry!
“Did everyone see that Grubbly-Plank woman?” asked Ginny. “What’s she doing back here? Hagrid can’t have left, can he?” “I’ll be quite glad if he has,” said Luna. “He isn’t a very good teacher, is he?” “Yes, he is!” said Harry, Ron, and Ginny angrily. Harry glared at Hermione; she cleared her throat and quickly said, “Erm . . . yes . . . he’s very good.” “Well, we think he’s a bit of a joke in Ravenclaw,” said Luna, unfazed. “You’ve got a rubbish sense of humor then,” Ron snapped, as the wheels below them creaked into motion. Luna did not seem perturbed by Ron’s rudeness; on the contrary, she simply watched him for a while as though he were a mildly interesting television program.
Oh Luna, I love you! Nice to see everyone outside the golden trio + Ginny are not brain dead Hagrid stans. What idiots.
Oh yes, another instance of Harry intimating Hermione to agree with him about Hagrid. It's so amusing how Hermione can lash out against Ron but Harry can subdue her so easily. Karma for how she treats Ron. It's so sweet! Pro Harmione! Gives me 'Taming the Shrew' vibes. People complain about Draco mistreating Hermione in Dramione when Harmione is right there in canon lol! Harry putting girlboss Hermione in her place haha!
Runa is so cute!
Ron, get yourself out of Hagrid's ass. At least Ron shows more common sense about Hagrid than dim wit Harry.

Harry Potter x Reader||Enemies to lovers
Tumblr media
You didn't know why you didn't like him. You just didn't. Maybe that wasn't true. Maybe it's the fact that he's famous and his ego is bigger than his d!ck. I guess we'll never know.
For care of magical creatures class , you were required to go on a field trip into the enchanted forest to get full marks for the class. This meant staying there , overnight. You had no idea you wouldn't be able to choose your tent mate, so you decided to go.
"Come on y/n we're going to be late!" Your best friend Hermione called, knocking on the bathroom door
"Ugh coming!" You replied, pulling over your Gryffindor jumper. You were also wearing: (photo reference sorry I couldn't find any other than fem)
Tumblr media
As you ventured down farther into the forest, you found yourself third wheeling Hermione and Ron, along with Harry. You tried to stay as far away from him as possible, but it was nearly impossible because of the narrow path. You kept peering at him through the corner of your eye only to find him staring at you. When you arrived at the campsite your jaw dropped when you heard Hagrid announce
"I'm going to assign tent mates since I don't want yer guys up all night urp giggling. Right so then erm Harry and Y/n , Hermione and .." Hagrids voice soon got cut off by his previous statement. He couldn't be serious. He was, and you soon found yourself in a tent on the forest floor next to a shivering Harry James Potter because he forgot a sleeping bag. Coming from a wealthy family, you had an enormous sleeping bag the size of a queen sized bed. You went camping a lot lot considering you mum and dad worked for the ministry. You eventually couldn't stand his shivering so you said
"alright stop your shivering and get in for the love of Merlin. Don't mention this to anyone." You heard him turn over and he replied
"thanks y/n. I know we don't have a great history but I mean it." Hearing his warm hot breath on the back of your neck make you get butterflies. Why were you falling for him now? You're not. You kept repeating this in your head until you heard a snoring Harry behind you. You laughed to yourself until you felt his arms around yourself. He was warm, and smelled of strong pinewood cologne. You allowed him to spoon you, because you felt a lot of comfort wrapped around in his arms. You felt safe, and loved.
