The Kitchens (My Sunshine - Part 2)

Word Count: 2000 almost exactly

Warnings: Swearing? (If it bothers you), mentions of sexual activity(barely)

Summary: You sneak into the kitchens for a late night snack, but you bump into someone on the way...

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6.

--------------------------------

It was around 2:16 am in the morning. You couldn't sleep at all. There was just too many things going on in your mind, this year you felt all the pressure coming back in a rush. You were a sixteen year old girl in Hogwarts, fifth year was something you weren't looking forward to very much, I mean you were only 2 weeks in so far. It seemed like this year would be full of boredom. I mean first year was great, everything was new and all, especially for a muggleborn like you, it was all an adventure. Second and third year was all about making new friends and mucking around, Fourth year was all about the excitement of Yule ball and the Triwizard tournaments. Fifth year needed to be real drama filled for it to top last year.

You glanced back at your clock again. 2:23 am. You groaned in frustration, it must've been your period or something, but you were suddenly craving those little French macarons you remember tasting when the Beauxbatons students had come over last year. Surely they would have some in the kitchens still?

You were about to find out. You couldn't sleep anyway, a small snack at this time of night wouldn't hurt?

You quietly shifted yourself out of bed, wincing as the cold air hit your warm skin. You quickly threw on your favourite blue hoodie that was oversized. You slipped on your fluffy muggle slippers that your parents had gifted you and headed out the dorm room quietly; careful not to wake Hannah up.

After you had exited your dorm room, you grabbed the claw clip inside the pocket of your hoodie and clipped up your hair. You slowly made your way up to the kitchens, your craving for any sweet little treats growing stronger with each step. Determination filled your veins as you quickened your pace in search of the kitchens.

Finally you arrived at the kitchens, you started searching through the cupboards and looking for anything that could satisfy your cravings. You sighed in content as you found the large cupboard full of your favourite muggle sweet treats, macarons, tarts, muffins, muesli bars, chocolate fingers. Grabbing your desired treats, you placed them on the counter and opened them, the plastic wrap making an awful lot of noise.

"Hungry?" You heard a voice behind you and you froze. It was a deep attractive voice.

You turned around, the warm candles of the kitchen illuminated his face perfectly. Draco Malfoy was talking to you. You stood there for a while, trying to think of how else to answer his question. You were usually a really talkative person who could give good comebacks, so seeing yourself tongue tied around him was odd.

"What the fuck do you want Malfoy?" You spat out shocked at how toxic your voice sounded.

"Woah, feisty." he chuckled. God why is his laugh so attractive. "I was just wondering what you were doing in the kitchens at this time of night" he shrugged.

"I could ask you the same question" you shot back at him without a second thought. You were quite good at that. "I'm just hungry okay? And my cramps are killing me." You said in a slightly whiny voice as your period cramps started to kick in once again.

"Cramps?" he said, and you swear you saw a flash of concern in his eyes. But as soon as you noticed it, it disappeared.

"Yeah. My period cramps." you said, not awkward about the topic.; it was normal

"So that's why you have a hoard of sweets in front of you. Mind if I have some?" Draco eyed at your treats. You defensively covered them with your arms. Why was he even talking to you? It's not like he has ever shown interest in you before. the only time you two ever spoke to each other is if you needed to in class. What was he even doing here.

"No. I found it, go find your own food." you retorted playfully.

"Alright, alright" He put his hands up in defeat and left to find something. He came back with two muffins in his hand.

"Walnut and coffee" he said as he handed you one of the muffins in his hand. You were feeling a bit curious, so you took the walnut and coffee flavoured muffin out of his hand cautiously. You took a few bites of it and furrowed your brows. Why does it actually taste really good?

"Like it? They're my favourite muffins" he said, as he inspected your facial expressions while eating the muffin.

You didn't answer him, you just looked at him with confusion.

"Draco why are you even talking to me? Don't you have this big thing about not talking to Hufflepuffs, let alone Muggleborn ones?"

----------------------------

Draco's POV

"Hungry?" I asked the girl as I watched her freeze in her place.

Y/n turned around, and stood there for a while. I'd never really talked to her much, I never had anything to say to her, but I did find it particularly amusing to find her roaming the kitchens at this ungodly hour, with snacks laid all over the counter.

"What the fuck do you want Malfoy?" she spat at me. I knew she didn't like me, but I didn't think it would cause such a reaction at just the sight of me. Sure I had made fun of her friends in the past, but I had never insulted her personally. I had respect for her, plus this year I've a change of heart, I want to be a better person, for many different reasons, I'm was just sick of being a stuck up prick.

"Woah, feisty." I chuckled. "I was just wondering what you were doing in the kitchens at this time of night" I shrugged.

"I could ask you the same question" she shot back at me with a glare. "I'm just hungry okay? And my cramps are killing me."

"Cramps?" I said. I was genuinely confused, and I must admit when y/n said that I did get a bit worried, though I didn't know why. I had no reason to care about her after all.

"Yeah. My period cramps." Ah, that made more sense. I knew a little bit about girls on their periods. They were usually moody, hungry, and had cramps often. That's what Blaise told me anyway.

"So that's why you have a hoard of sweets in front of you. Mind if I have some?" I looked at the treats that she was defending.

"No. I found it, go find your own food." she retorted. She's probably confused why I'm talking to her.

"Alright, alright" I went to the pantries to find some treats that I might like. Walnut and Coffee, my favourite. I grabbed two just in case y/n wanted to try some.

"Walnut and coffee" I said as I handed her one of the muffins. "Like it? They're my favourite muffins" I said. She showed no facial expression, so I wasn't quite sure if she was enjoying it or not. She wasn't spitting it our in disgust, so I figured that she found it tolerable at the least.

She was quick to change the subject.

"Draco why are you even talking to me? Don't you have this big thing about not talking to Hufflepuffs, let alone Muggleborn ones?"

Draco. I wasn't too sure why she was calling me that. It was sort of nice to have someone call me by my first name, most people usually just spat out my last name.

I thought about her question. Why was I talking to her? I mean, I could've just walked past her and carried on with my patrol, but instead I joined her. I did need her help though, but right now didn't seem like an appropriate time. She was having cramps and was probably really hungry. Plus I don't think I want to mess with this girl on her period. I was enjoying her company though, as much as I wish I wasn't.

"Well I guess my opinions have changed. I think you'll find that I don't mind people from other houses now. I think I'm quite fond of muggleborns now actually." I wasn't lying. I waited for y/n to respond. She just gasped dramatically.

"Draco? Fond of muggleborns? His father must be hearing about this!" And she burst into a fit of laughter. Her laugh was pretty, I can't deny, it's quite contagious too. I ended up joining in with her laughter. She was a nice person to be around, from what I knew she didn't have any enemies at this school.

----------------------

Your POV

You and Draco chatted for a while in the kitchens. You sort of forgot about how stuck up he was, and just started talking to him like he was one of your friends. You started to think that he actually wasn't that bad at all. I mean maybe he has changed like he said so.

You let out a yawn, and he yawned a few seconds after.

"I think I'm going to go back to my dorms" you giggled "It's like 3:30 am"

"Yeah you probably should go back to sleep" He paused for a while "Do you want me to drop you off to your dorm?"

You were a bit shocked by his kind gesture. I mean Draco being kind to you was a shock in itself, him talking to you was even more shocking, but walking you to your dorm? That seemed a bit fishy in your opinion, but maybe he was genuinely being kind. You hoped he was.

"Uhh" you contemplated what you were about to say next. "Sure I guess". He flashed you a small smile, and the two of you walked towards the Hufflepuff dorms in silence.

"I've never been to the Hufflepuff area of Hogwarts" Draco said, breaking the silence. "It's quite nice"

"Yeah I guess it is" You said.

"I've been to every other houses common room and dorm areas, but not Hufflepuff. It's probably because I've never slept with a Hufflepuff girl yet" He chuckled. He was probably hoping that you were going to laugh at the joke too, but instead he watched your face contort into a grimace. You didn't know how to reply to that, talking so openly about the girls that he has slept with was a bit disgusting in your opinion. Though it did make you wonder how good he was in bed.

"I don't do that anymore y/n" he said a bit quieter, he probably noticed that you found it a bit awkward "I used to, but I've changed". You believed him, he did seem like a different person now.

"I believe you" you stated. Then you reached your dorm room. "I guess this is goodnight then"

"Yeah, I had a good time y/n" he admitted, "See you around, goodnight". His kindness once again took you by surprise, and he smiled at you. Softly, but it was genuine. Smiles suited him well.

"Goodnight Draco" You said, and you closed the door as you walked into your dorm.

He found it odd that you were still calling him by his first name. He wasn't complaining.

You walked further into the dorm room, you were still recovering from your encounter with Draco. You didn't like him like that did you? Then why were you feeling hot all of a sudden? Gosh he was charming, and he was funny, but why does he all of a sudden have a change of heart? You were full of questions, hoping they'd be answered.

---

a/n: hopefully you enjoyed his chapter! I have been struggling to keep up with writing because I have so many ideas but not enough time due to my exams, sorry guys:)

Harry Potter x fem! twin! Reader

A/n: 5.8k words, couldn’t help but add some Draco fluff in there, no voldy au, Wolfstar has an adopted daughter whose older than the reader but her name isn’t mentioned, oh and I wrote more than I intended because as per usual I got carried away, there may be a few mistakes in this one and I am so sorry, I am happy with how this turned out as I was a little nervous with the story line I went for x enjoy!

Navigation | Golden Era Characters Masterlist

You fiddled with your jumper, pulling it down gently to make sure Draco’s shirt wasn’t visable in any way. Once you were happy you picked up your bag checking you had everything, your wand, your dads cloak and in particular the marauders map which you stole from Harry’s dorm earlier

As you were about to zip up your bag when the door to your dorm opened abruptly, hitting the wall as it did, revealing your brother being backed into the room by Ginny whist making out “Evening” you say amused, scaring them half to death

They jump apart, relaxing as they see you although Harry looks a little embarrassed “Hi y/n” Ginny smiles “I thought you’d be away by now sorry” she lets out a giggle

“Hey Gin, no worries I’m just leaving now” you say with a smile beginning to walk by them “I’m not ready to be an aunt yet so be safe” you nudge Harry who lets out some kind of noise looking mortified “Have fun” you sing as you close the door behind you, oh merlin did you love to tease your twin

Making your way down the stairs you wave at Neville as he sits in the corner with Seamus and Dean before heading to the door, but as you are about to exit you hear your brothers voice “Y/n!”

You spin around spotting him jogging up to you “Hey…wow you work fast” you jest wiggling your eyebrows

“Ha ha very funny” he deadpans but you can see the blush creeping on his face “I was wondering if you’ve seen the map or Ron and Hermione” he inquires

Fuck, you think, of course now he notices, it’s only been going missing for near 5 years “Nope” you lie before tilting your head “What does Ron and Mione got to do with it?” you question

“Me and Gin think they’ve started hooking up” he explains

“Finally” you say with a chuckle, relaxing a little knowing he’s not quite figured it out yet

He nods “I know long time coming believe me. Anyway, if you do see them let me know because I think they’re the ones nicking the map every week…I’m not mad just curious” he says genuinely “and...I may also have a bet on it with Gin” you giggle at that

“Sure thing and same, I’ve got one on it with Georgie…” and Dray “Nice chatnbut I’ve really gotta get going” you give him a smile before starting backing out of the common room

“Where you off to by the way?” your brother inquires

Merlin can’t a gal sneak off to see her boyfriend in peace anymore? “Just have some astronomy work I need to do because I fucked it last time…oh I borrowed the cloak so I can sneak easier on the way back” you quickly clarify “Hope that’s alright”

He seems to buy it “Yeah course sis” he gives you a small side hug “You want me to pack up some stuff for you if you’re going to be late?” he offers knowing you all have to get up early for the train back home tomorrow

You’re eyes light up but you also feel a twinge of guilt in your stomach “Yeah that would be great thanks” you reach out giving his arm a little squeeze before heading off

Sneaking into the Slytherin common room was almost second nature to you now, with Draco slipping you the password and your dads cloak it was a piece of cake. You pushed the door gently open to Draco’s dorm, you hated his father but the private room he got for his son undeniably helped with keeping your relationship a secret.

You and he had been dating since 5th year but had been friends long before that, unlike your brother your introduction to Draco was a lot nicer, even if it only happened to be around 5 minutes apart. You had walked right into him on the train, then asked if you had seen a boy matching your brothers’ description to which told you to away from him because he was a wanker and you replied teasingly ‘That’s kinda hard but I know what you mean, we did share a womb’

After that you didn’t really speak until you were paired together the following year, finding that you both rather enjoyed the others company and hence began sneaking around. As the years went by you slowly develop crushes on one another, the yule ball being the point you both realised it, seeing him with Pansy and you with George killed the two of you, of course neither worked out, both of you realising your dates were actually your best friends not potential lovers. After that night your hugs were just that little bit longer, touches lingering, talks deeper and the tension between the two of you only kept growing, so much it took less than a week into your 5th year before he finally kissed you

You dropped your bag lightly, smiling as you saw Draco’s sleeping figure. Pulling your jumper over your head you draped it over the chair by his desk, quickly slipping off your shoes along with your jeans before you climbed into bed next to him. You smiled as you cuddled into him, hand slithering around his torso and your head nuzzling into the side of his chest

He hummed in his sleep, stirring as you gently left a couple of kisses on his jaw “Evening love” you feel his voice vibrate from his chest, arms coming to wrap around you as he pressed his lips against the top of your head

“Hi Dray” you smile into his chest “You don’t mind the surprise visit, do you?” you check, tugging on your bottom lip

His lips turn up “Never when it comes to you my love” he finally opens his eyes looking down at you with the softest smile he reserved for those he loved most

You lean up kissing his lips tenderly “I’m going to miss you” you pout burying your head into the crook of his neck

“Me too” he replies with a sad smile “It’s only two weeks this time” he strokes your hair, heart aching at the thought of not being able to hold, let alone speak to you for so long

You nod gently into him before placing a kiss “Can I stay here the night?” you mumble into his skin

He nods “Of course baby” he squeezes you gently “Want me to dig out the alarm clock?” you pull back nodding but your face is sad “Love” he cups your face

“What are we going to do when we graduate?” you ask quietly, maybe it was the impending distance that brought this on but it was something you needed to think about

He shakes his head “I don’t know” his thumb strokes your cheek before tracing over your lips lightly “But we’ll figure that out together” he assures you before thinking for a second “I’ll have full access to my Gringotts account on my birthday so even if I’m disowned…” he says the last word quieter “…we’d still have money”

You mouth parts in a happy shock before you smirk a little “You realise I too am rich…not Malfoy rich but enough that I could take care of you” you assure him, bopping his nose

He chuckles “How about I buy us a place to live and you decorate it, you’ve always had the better sense of style” he kisses your forehead

You nod “Fine but it needs to be a cute cottage and pets count as décor, right?” you tilt your head a playful look painting your face

“Anything you want” he says truly, smiling at you in complete admiration “But right now we sleep” he places a lingering kiss to your lips

As he breaks away you pull him in again “I’m not very sleepy” you mumble into his lips

“I see how it is” he replies lifting your hips on top of him “Just here for one last shag eh?” he shakes his head pouting teasingly

“I can leave if you-” he doesn’t even let you finish before he’s sitting up and pulling you in for another kiss

The next morning was a blur, hurrying back from Draco’s dorm at 5am to try and grab some extra sleep and pack before you had to rush to the station. You used to sit with Harry, Ron and Hermione but after making friends with Neville and Luna you now sat with them, you loved it but as a twin you missed your brother dearly even on a short journey like this.

After saying your farewells to Luna and Neville, you find Harry, seeing him wave at Ron, Hermione and Ginny as they headed off “See you soon” you shout towards them as you approach your brother, earning a ‘byes’ and ‘miss yous’ from them before you turned to give him a hug “Hey” you smile into the embrace but something felt off “You aright?” you pull back looking at him with concern

“Yeah” he confirms but his smile is strange

As you were about to question it you felt someone bump into you “Watch it” they snap and your heart skips as you recognise the voice

“Me watch it? I think you need to get your eyes checked Malfoy” you clap back with a challenging smirk

“Of course out of everyone its the Potters that are blind as bats” he teases with his own smirk, eyes trailing up and down you in particular, you look cute in that lovely, he places the thought into your head, it was times like this you actually loved Snape for teaching him how to do that

“Fuck off Malfoy” Harry says harshly, grabbing your arm and your bags before pulling you away quickly

Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Draco looks at you surprised, sure he and Harry were enemies but your brother was never one to get angry for nothing.

You just shrug discreetly mouthing ‘love you’ seeing him return it before Harry dragged you out of his sight “Harry!” you hit his hand as you get out of the station “What’s wrong?” you weren’t mad at him just worried about him, did something happen on the train you didn’t know about?

He looks around “What’s wrong?” he repeats back to you before pulling out the map “What’s wrong is you lied to me” he looks at you betrayed, hand clutching the paper in what you can’t tell is either anger or disappointment, perhaps a mix of the two?

Your mouth parts, oh Godric he knows, you panic, breathing picking up “Harry…” you start but the confrontation is cut off by your parents

“Harry! Y/n!” your father calls out

You turn your head at them still processing while Harry quickly stuffs the map back into his bag “This isn’t over” he whispers to you quickly before turning to your parents “Hi!”

“Hey” you say with a fake smile, you were happy to see your parents but the thought that Harry knew made you feel sick

Harry didn’t know you had been stealing the map at first, he just assumed you had been borrowing it to pull pranks or for sneaking off to the kitchens after curfew. However, since you’d returned for 5th year he noticed it going missing more often and now he was dating Ginny this year he finally observed how you also didn’t return to your dorm some nights, the map always coincidentally gone every time. He thought maybe it was like him with Ginny, trying to keep a new relationship quiet until you figured it out but even then, he had told about his feeling for Ginny because he needed advice pursuing them, so it hurt that you didn’t do the same

He did try to figure out who the person was, he ruled out someone in Gryffindor pretty quickly, for a while he thought maybe it was Luna and you were nervous because it was a girl, but then he came across her hanging out with Ginny on one of the nights you were gone and that theory was thrown out the window. Eventually he decided to nick the map back, swiping it from your bag last night before you left, watching as you headed down to the dungeons. He then began to understand why you were so secretive and didn’t tell him, you were dating a Slytherin, but the bit that made his blood boil was the ones whose dorm you entered

The thought of the boy who was his literal nemesis and his sister together made sick to his stomach, he felt so betrayed and wanted in that moment to march down there, confront you both but more importantly beat the blonde to a pulp. He eventually calms himself, okay he realised you had the cloak and there was no logical way he could get in there but still baby steps. As Ginny fell asleep in his arms he lay staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep at the thought you, his sister, his twin spending the night with him, his enemy, his bully.

He always knew you were softer with Slytherins, a trait you got from Lily as you often gave the twins a piece of your mind when the targeted those just because they were Slytherin, and you defended some of them. But Draco? The boy that called Hermione a mudblood the first time they met, insulted Ron for his family’s situation, bullied him and many others countless times, that Draco, how could you?

He pretended to be asleep when you returned to your dorm, sneaking a glace he saw you looked tired, a little sad and had some purple marks on your neck. In that moment he didn’t know what this was, was it two enemies relieving the tension? Had Draco seduced you to get back at him? He was going to have a civil conversation but when he saw the way Draco’s eyes were on you at the station, the smirk on his face that now had new meaning and he just snapped

The following morning you and Harry hadn’t spoken, luckily your parents nor godparents had noticed probably just assuming you were tired from the train “So I was talking with Molly and thought that we could head the burrow for a breakfast on Christmas day? Maybe we could bring the presents with us?” Your mum suggests with a smile

Both you and Harry perk up at the idea “Can I invite Hermione?” Harry asks as she chops down on a bit of pancake

“She’s already coming, I believe Ron bet you to it” your father wiggles his eyebrows knowingly

“Will you be coming Uncle pads, Uncle moony?” you ask with a small smile whilst trying your best to avoid Harrys eyes

Sirius nods “Yup considering our little pup will be there” he grins at you

“Where is she anyway? I thought the shop was closed for the holidays?” James inquires

Your uncle hums “It is but there is some work that needs to be done” he replies shrugging while Remus and Lily let out small chuckles

“Mum? Uncle?” Harry eyes them as do you although you have a feeling you know what it’s about

Lily and Remus share a look before the latter turns to his husband “You’ve really not caught on yet, have you?” he says amused while you smile knowing for sure what’s going on

Sirius’ face drops “Caught on to what?” he asks baffled

“Oh!” you let out a small giggle as the penny drops for your dad “Which one?” he makes an F with his hands before attempting to do the same a G but gets confused with how to do it

Your godfathers’ eyes widen as his mouth forms an ‘o’ watching your dad still trying to make the letter “Oh no she’s too young for that” he shakes his head wiggling his pointer finger

“She’s almost 20” Your mum interjects “Besides Fred is a nice boy” she says

Remus nods in agreement “I mean he did take her to the yule ball love…all the signs were there” he places his hand over his husbands giving it a little squeeze

“I thought that was just as friends like y/n with the other one” Sirius sits back in his chair like he’s just heard she’s gotten married or something “Still…she too young and Fred is too similar to me” he huffs before eyeing you “You better not get any ideas” he points at you

Harry scoffs “Too late” he says but then his mouth drops, a flash of regret across his face before he looks at you apologetically, sure he was mad but that was nothing compared to if your parents and godparents found out

“Y/n, what is he talking about?” your father looks at you, the look he’d never given you before, usually his stare down was fake because as soon as your mother left he’d be wanting every detail of the prank or mischief you just pulled but right now it was real and it scared you

“Umm…” you flounder trying to speak eyes becoming glassy, your brother while interested in knowing all the details, okay definitely not all the details, felt awful seeing the sister, the sister that was never phased by anything looking so fearful

“Sweetie?” your mother gently prods

Your mouth must have opened countless times before something came out “I was going to tell you after graduation” you saw lowly, Harrys eyebrows knit together, tell you?

“Who?” your dad question, tone almost judgemental

“Jamie” your mum scolds but you can tell she’s eager to know

You stab at the food on your plate “Bit of a double standard guys” you say trying to avoid the subject of who you were dating “Harrys dating Ginny and you pat his back, but when the girls start dating someone we get the third degree”

“Don’t do that” Sirius eyes you “I know that tactic, I taught you that tactic” you knew he was right and now you were screwed

You stay quiet for a second debating your options but none seem great, only idea you could think of was throwing your pancake at him and apparating the fuck out of there “He’s in my year” you admit reluctantly

“House?” your dad inquires

You freeze, eyes flicking to Harry who looks somewhere between worried and disappointed before looking at your mother, giving her pleading eyes as she is the only one at the table that could maybe understand. She seems to catch on, closing her eyes for a second before a reassuring smile emerges on her face, your uncle Remus also catches on while Sirius and James take a few seconds but when they do you grimace at your fathers’ tone

“Oh hell no” your father shakes his head “There is no way you’re allowed to date a Slytherin…I mean I don’t want you dating anyone till your 30 but a snake oh no” he says a little melodramatically

“Are you mad?” your uncle adds earning a nudge followed by an annoyed whisper you couldn’t make out from Remus

“Leave her alone she can make her own decisions” your mother defends you but a part of you knew even that would be short lived once his name was revealed “How long have you been together sweetie?”

“Since the start of 5th year but we had been friends since around out 2nd” you elaborate, seeing your brothers jaw drop in your peripherals

“Since 5th year?” Harry says in shock, his brain trying to process it “Do…do you love him?” he asks warily

You nod “Very much” your eyes start to tear up

“What Slytherin?” your father finally asks the dreaded question and when you don’t answer he and your uncle begin guessing

“Nott?” nothing

“Zabini?” nah da

“Better not be Crabbe or Goyle” that earns a look of disgust “Thank god” your uncle sighs in relief

“Malfoy” Your father says jokingly, your uncle laughing with him but it quickly stops as they see your face “MALFOY!” he says furious

“Dad…” you squeak out

“No” Sirius shakes his head “You can’t be dating my cousin’s purist spawn” he refuses to believe it

You look at your other uncle who looks a little disappointed, your eyes then go to your mum who looks more conflicted than anything else “How could you love someone like him? I thought I raised better” that hurt, your father so enraged he couldn’t register the heartbreak on your face

“You aren’t to see him again” Sirius says your father nodding next to him

“Uncle Remus?” you look at him but he has a look that tells you he does agree with your other uncle and father “Mum” you turn to her, voice cracking

“Sweetie…I don’t...umm” she looks like she’s trying to process but the lack of understanding makes you stand up

“Where are you going? You aren’t leaving until we get to the bottom of this” your father points to the table “Don’t you-” he starts but you apparate away

Your family stares in shock for a few minutes before Lily speaks up “You knew, didn’t you?” she asks looking at Harry who nods slowly

“You told us Malfoy was a prick?” Sirius exclaims “Harry how could you let that ferret wiggling his way-”

“Love” Remus places his hand on Sirius’ back rubbing circles in attempt to calm him “How long have you known?” he then turn to the boy inquiring in a gentler tone

Harry sighs “I knew she was sneaking around with someone but I didn’t know who because she was taking the map with her every time. So last night I stole it and that’s when I saw her meeting Draco…I hadn’t had time with the train and things to talk to her about it” he confesses

“Saw her where on the map?” his father asks in a tone that makes Harry think he’s going to murder someone

“The astronomy tower” he lies

“Where Harry?” his father sees right through them

He closes his eyes “His dorm room” Harry days quietly and that was it for his father and uncle both standing

“Where are you going?” Lily stands up as well

“To get some answers” James replies before walking over, looping his arm with Sirius

Sirius pulls out his wand “And to kick arse” he states before apparating himseld and James

Lily and Remus barely have any time to react to them as Harry stands up “Hon-” she starts but he cuts her off

“Sorry mum but I need to go find y/n” Harry apologises before apparating himself

“Firewhisky?” Remus turns to Lily who looks like in all her years of dealing with four marauders, 3 children of marauders and the entire Weasley clan this is what was going to kill her, not because she was angry at you but from the stress of the situation

“Yes please” she nods quickly

“I’ll get the emergency chocolate too”

Draco sighed as he lay on one of the couches in the library, staring up at the ceiling, it hadn’t even been a day and he already missed you. His thoughts were interrupted by a bang, jolting up as he hears it again almost like someone is trying to break the front door down. Distantly, he hears how he assume can only be Dobby opening the door followed by muffled shouts

Standing up he walked over to the door, heart stopping as he recognised the voice “COUSIN!” Sirius screeched

“What is the meaning of this?” Lucius exclaimed as he greeted their uninvited guests

“Sirius?” Narcissa says completely bewildered as she sees them “Potter?”

Both of them had no idea how to react, even Lucius was concerned by the fury in their eyes but hid it well “Why are you here?” he asks clearly annoyed

“Your son seduced my daughter” James accuses

Draco felt like he was going to throw up, oh Salazar did he have nightmares about this day, it was a good run, he thought placing a mental bet of which of the people in the next room was going to kill him first

“That’s ridiculous” his mother laughs at the notion “The only think we know of your daughter from Draco is how annoying your son is”

“Besides our son already learned his lesson with dating Half-breeds from the Parkinson’s daughter” Lucius states,

Draco jaw clenches at the slur “Don’t you dare call her that!” Sirius speaks up “Where is he?”

Draco didn’t know if he should run, hide or just accept his fate but luckily his mother came to his rescue “He isn’t here” Narcissa replies quickly

“Bullshit” James mutters

“What makes you think they are an item?” Lucius asks sceptically

“Harry caught them and she revealed they’ve been together for over two years” Sirius informs them

He just has to ruin everything, Draco sighs leaning his head on the door not realising it was ajar, stumbling a little as he reveals himself “Oh shit”

“Oh shit is right” James replies

It was safe to say Draco getting your fathers blessing was most like off the table as he and Sirius bolted towards him and then proceed to chase him around the house and surrounding grounds for a good ten minutes before they were all spent, hunched over catching their breath outside in the garden

“Why” James puffs staring up at him

“Why what?” Draco pants brain not quite functioning from the impromptu workout

“Y/n” Sirius runs his hands through his hair, putting it into a bun as if he’s gearing to fight the boy “Explain to us how a bully like yourself manages to worm their way into my goddaughter panties”

“Mate” James shoves him “Terribly worded...” he points at him before Draco “...but you have 1 minute to explain before I catch my breath enough to run again”

“We worked on a project in second year and we became friends, in secret because me and Harry hated each other…” Draco begins explaining only to be cut off

“Why? Jealous of my son?”

“Yeah” Draco to their surprise admits “Harry is better than be at almost everything, he rejected my friendship which in hindsight was fair enough. I was a prick especially in first year but y/n’s friendship helped me realise that all those ideals my parents fed me were crap. And no, it didn’t happen right away and I still called people slurs but she never gave up on me…she never abandoned and I fell head over heels for her” he explains

“Why keep it a secret then?” Sirius asks with a scoff “If you love her so much why hide her like dirty laundry-”

“Pads mate, try to paraphrase in a way that doesn’t make me want to hit you too” James snaps at him before once more turning back to Draco “Again the question stands”

Draco could have laughed at your father and godfather if he didn’t hear the former say ‘too’ in reference to punching “For a few very good reasons” is all he could say

“State them” your father says crossing his arms as he and Sirius waited not so patiently

“Okay…” Draco takes a breath “First, we didn’t know how us being together would work out and…we knew it would cause a tidal wave of gossip…we also didn’t want everyone butting in and watching us constantly, having all of their opinions affecting and putting strain on our relationship” James and Sirius’ face soften as they quickly realise the boy makes valid points “Second when we knew this was real and we were in love we were scared that not only my family but hers would overreact…can you blame us considering…” he gestures to them “And third, we were going to reveal everything but after we graduated, got access to out accounts so if I was disowned or she was we would have funds to rely on”

The last point makes your father think “Wait you and her were planning on what running away together?” that was when Draco saw it hit him, the regret washing over his face, a similar one on Sirius’ as well

“That was plan B” Draco mutters “Hasn’t y/n told you this?” he asks confused as what exactly occurred before he starts to worry

“No…” James shakes his head before he curses “Fuck”

“Where is she?” Draco knew he had no right to ask but he needed to know

Sirius shrugs “We don’t know she apparated away and then we were so mad we came to kick your ass” he points at him

“What? I need to find her” he pulls out his wand racking his brain to figure out where you could be as he figures it out he hears his father

“Don’t you dare” Lucius stares him down with the biggest glare he had ever seen, if looks could kill Draco would be death about 3 times over “You leave and you are disowned” he says plainly “Cut off and never welcome in this house again” he gestures to the grounds

Draco looks at his father flicking to James and Sirius a moment before he smiles “So be it” and with that he thought of you and apparated

He landed somewhere in the woods, not quite sure why until he catches sight of a treehouse. You had brought him here once when you both managed to sneak out and see each other once over summer, you told him how you and harry built it and it was still your safe space even if Harry had long since grown out of it.

As he climbed the ladders he heard sniffles, heart clenching as his head popped up and saw you curled in a little ball crying “Love?” he says softly as he stands up properly but it still startles you

You stare at him for a second before launching yourself into his arms not questioning how he is here just happy that he is “Draco” you mumble as you burying your head into his chest “I’m so sorry, I was reckless and harry found the map and now my whole family…” you ramble

“I know” he cuts you off gently

You pull back moving to sit on one of the old benches “How?” you ask as he sits down next to you

He takes your hand in his “Your Father and uncle paid me a visit” he cringes but chuckles as your eyes comedically widen

“They didn’t…merlin I’m so sorry dray” you close your eyes as you lean your head on his shoulder

He lifts your head up smiling at you “Hey it’s okay” he brushes some hair for your face “It felt kinda nice to have it all out in the open…even if I thought I was going to get Kedavra-ed for a moment” he let sout a nervous chuckle

You giggle a little “How did they react? Your parents I mean” you squeeze his hand

He let out an empty laugh “Could have been better…” he hesitates before continuing “I’m officially homeless, disowned and only wealth is the clothes on my back” you mouth parts “But…I’ve never felt this free in my whole life” he reassures you

“Dray…” you didn’t know what to say

“You don’t need to say anything” he shakes his head like he read your mind “Although maybe help me convince your parents to let me stay with you…or failing that I could live here” he jokes to which you giggle nudging your nose with his

Your moment is cut short by your brothers’ voice “You really love her, don’t you?” he asks in a much softer tone that Harry was expecting

“Yeah” Draco answers without hesitation

Your brother nods “I don’t like it…” he points “And I might actually throw up if I think about the logistics too hard” that makes small smiles appear on you and Draco’s face “Oh and you bet your arses there will be a ban on PDA around me but…” he takes a deep breath “If you’re happy then I’m happy. I might not understand, or how all this…” he motions to the two of you “…happened but you’re my sister and I love you” he finishes

You both stand up and walk over “Thanks” you say giving him a hug, staying there for a bit before pulling away

Harry kisses your forehead before looking at Draco who’s standing rather awkwardly but Harry could see the visible weight that had been lifted from him, he looked genuinely relived…however even with that in mind “I’m not hugging you”

“Wouldn’t want you too” Draco replies with a small smile

“Lily, Moony you here?” James calls out as he and Sirius return to the house

“Living room!” they hear Remus distantly shout

Walking James smiles “Hey…” he greets before seeing the scene “Oh no the emergency chocolate is out” he mumbles to himself

“HI!” Lily cheeses at them from the couch

“Is she…” Sirius whispers at his husband gesturing

“A tad tipsy” James and Sirius nod “yes…I am too but just a little bit” he motions with his thumb and forefinger

James looks around as he seats a seat next to his wife, cuddling her back as she wraps her arms around him “Where Harry?” he wonders

“Went to find y/n” Remus replies, also becoming a little touchy and as he leans into Sirius, taking his hand “How did it go?” he asks sobering up ever so slightly “You didn’t actually kill him, did you?”

James shakes his head “No but he is officially disowned and homeless” he informs

“What?!” Remus look at them in shock while Lily seems too tired to register

“It’s true” your voice makes them jump, all turning up to see you, Draco and Harry standing in the door way

“Hi” Draco greets with a cringy smile and the most awkward wave known to wizard

“You think there’s room for one more at the table mum?” you look towards her

“Course sweetie…hello Draco I’m Li…lily” she says gleefully with a little hiccup

“She’s a little drunk” Sirius informs you

“Oh…” you let out a small laugh “Dad, can Draco stay with us?” you ask hopefully

“No” your expression drops

“But he can stay with us” Sirius adds, yours and Draco’s faces lighting up “It wouldn’t be right not to help you the way I was when I got disowned, besides we have a spare room now our daughter has moved out and…” he remembers the original conversation “…apparently seeing Fred Weasley…Moons I need to make another drop-in visit…” Sirius says standing up

“Oh no you don’t…” Remus pulls him down quickly before turning to Draco “But yeah sure you can stay with us”

“Thank you” Draco gives them a grateful look

“You’re welcome but if you hurt her I’ll kill you” Your father threatens

“And I’ll make sure it’s slow” Sirius adds

“And I’ll eat you…oh yeah those rumours are true…what?” Remus turns to Sirius who nudges him before laughing nervously “I may be a little drunker than I thought…the emergency chocolate is boozy” he confesses to which you, Draco and Harry chuckle

“Welcome to the family son” Your father says but scrunches up his face as soon as the last word exited his mouth “Nope too weird…Just welcome”

One Day

Summary: On the two year anniversary of her death, Hermione and Draco have a chat.

Word Count: 724

A/N: Inspired by episode 14 of One Day

The door creaks as Draco leans against it, his body heavy with liquor and despondency. It’s mostly empty, the shutters drawn, casting the room in a dim light. He spins in a slow circling, taking it in for a moment before he raises his glass tumbler to his lips and sips the bourbon.

It burns his throat as he swallows but he’s grown accustomed to it, and has even begun to favor it over fire whiskey ever since Hermione exposed him to it.

Glass in hand, Draco puts his back to the wall before he slides down, his neck cranked back as he gazes up. He’s tempted to rub his eyes as he reads ‘Granger's things’ written on the sides of the boxes but he can’t be bothered. His arms are too heavy, limbs too tired.

“I don’t mind, you know. If you just got rid of it all.”

Draco sighs heavily, turns his head to the right. “I’d never do that.”

His throat is scratchy from limited use, and he swallows as he stares at her.

Hermione’s legs are crossed at the ankles, her fingers laced together and she gazes at the boxes full of her old things. Her curly hair is loose, falling in waves over her shoulders, splatter of freckles dancing across her face like constellations.

“Keep the photos though,” She continues, then lets out a light laugh. “I was actually quite gorgeous, in our twenties. Though I didn't appreciate it at the time.”

Draco swallows again, grips the glass tumbler hard. “I did.”

“Sometimes you did,” Hermione turns, her eyes soft as she smiles gently. “Sometimes you didn’t.”

Draco gazes at her, feels the tears brimming at his eyes. She looks so alive in this frame of light, lips pouty and pink, brows arched as her brown eyes shimmer. Her face is sympathetic, lines over worry on her forehead. She always looks like this when he sees her now.

“It won’t always be like this.” she says softly. Draco bounces his eyes from her mouth to her hair to her eyes to nose, trying to commit the shape of her to memory.

“Why wouldn't it?” he asks, his voice cracking and he clears his throat. “What would change it?”

Hermione hums, shakes her head slightly. “Time.”

“Time,” Draco repeats. He turns his head to stare at the ceiling, licks his chapped lips. “No, thats…I can really feel the clouds parting, Granger.”

Hermione smiles, her nose scrunching in the most adorable way, the way he had loved so much and it makes him smile as well.

“Yeah, you’re funny.” She whispers, and Draco feels a tear slip down his face. They’re quiet for a moment, and then Hermione shuffles closer, leans her head against his shoulder and if he concentrates hard enough, he can almost feel her.

Raising a hand, Hermione touches his face, her own eyes wet and Draco lets out a shuddering breath, closes his eyes.

“Well,” Hermione says, sniffing lightly. “At least this year you can pass out on your own carpet.”

Draco chuckles humorously, recalling the one year anniversary of her death and how he’d spent it black-out drunk. Hermione shifts, moves her lower half so that she can lay her head on his lap.

“There's not nearly enough in this bottle for that.” Draco replies as he runs a hand down his face, and Hermione nods.

“Then you’ll go down to the offie, and you’ll buy a couple more bottles,” Hermione murmurs, her hair splaying to the side. “And maybe some cigarettes, and you’ll smoke them here which…you’ll regret, cause you’ll never quite get the smell out. And Ginny will call you later. And Astoria. But you won’t want to sound sad or pissed so you won’t pick up.”

“That so.” Draco says quietly, and Hermione nods again.

“Which means tomorrow you'll have to call them both, and say you fell asleep early. And your mum, because they would’ve called her too,” she says, her eyes focused on the boxes. “And you’ll feel guilty and hung over and just…shit. All day.”

Draco nods slowly, feels a tear run down his nose. He lets it, blinks and feels it fall. Another quickly descends, following its friend, and he sniffs, his jaw tight.

“And it’ll go on like that,” Hermione continues. “Until it doesn't. Because one day…it won’t”

Hi Liv!❤️

Could you please recommend a low rated fluff with a soft and gentle Draco in need of care and Harry coming to his rescue🥰

This might not really fit your preference, but if you know of any such fics I'd be very-very happy.

Have a great day!

Hi anon, of course I can share some recs! As you know I’m a bit particular about down & out Draco so this is my personal interpretation of your ask combining soft Draco and a protective Harry caring for him. These are mostly hurt/comfort, I hope they work for you!

Slow Hands by eleventy7 (T, 10k)

Blood, shadows, and paper hearts. The Shadow hunts students, but Draco Malfoy most of all.

Solve Us Like a Mystery by tryslora (T, 11k)

When Harry stops in at the bookstore where Draco works, they find a surprising shared interest in mysteries. Draco doesn't expect to see Harry again, and he definitely doesn't expect to become the subject of unexpected investigation that may endanger the life of his unborn child, and at the same time, may bring him the kind of happiness he never thought he'd have after the war.

Nobody by @dorthyanndrarry (T, 12k)

Junior Auror Potter runs errands, takes witness interviews, does paperwork, and gets the coffee. Rarely, very rarely, he's sent out on the most routine calls, such as when Draco Malfoy misses a meeting with his parole officer.

Said and Unsaid (or, The Value of Knowing When to Stop Talking) by bryoneybrynn (T, 15k)

When the Interrogator asked if he had anything to say on his own behalf, Draco shook his head, his lips pressed tight in a thin line. There was nothing to say that wouldn’t sound like an excuse.

Benevolence and Redemption by silvered_glass (M, 18k)

Draco's the most unlikely Auror recruited to the department in at least three centuries. Ostracised and unwanted, he's been on paperwork duties for the three years since he finished training.

you've got the antidote for me by Kandakicksass (M, 20k)

When Harry Potter unintentionally severs their soulbond before it can fully form, Draco Malfoy resigns himself to a slow death and decides not to burden Harry with a soulmate he's made it very clear he doesn't want.

Vortex by @xanthippe74 (T, 20k)

The idea of perfectly-matched soulmates feels more like a curse than a blessing to Draco. Who would want a soulmate who was a schoolyard bully, a Death Eater, and a convicted felon? Certainly not Harry Potter. And Draco is determined to take this secret to the grave.

To Hurt and Heal by cassisluna (T, 21k)

They say that everybody who gets out of Azkaban comes out a little mad. After the war, Draco Malfoy spends three months in Azkaban. He just wants to go insane in peace, but Harry Potter finds that he, inexplicably, still can't leave Draco alone.

With Great Yawns and Stretchings by sugar_screw (T, 22k)

The coffee is very good. Really. And the cats are so cute. That's why Harry goes so often.

UnKnown by @dorthyanndrarry (M, 22k)

Draco just wanted a second chance, he was willing to work hard, he was willing to do whatever it took, but no one would let him live down his past. But when he recklessly casts a spell promising a new life, he's not prepared for the consequences...

(You’re A) Revolution @stargazing-enby (M, 23k)

Eight years after the end of the war, Draco Malfoy stumbles into Harry’s shop in the middle of a storm—no wand, no backstory; no signs of having lived in the country since the Battle of Hogwarts. During their first encounter, Harry promises—and the words sound like an old mantra—that he'll figure out Draco's secrets eventually.

Safe As Houses by @xanthippe74 (T, 24k)

After five years abroad, Harry’s thrilled to be home and working at the most prestigious ward-building firm in Britain. But everything gets turned upside down when he's assigned to work for Draco Malfoy—who somehow grew up to be just the sort of sexy bastard Harry goes for. As if that isn’t enough, Malfoy seems strangely on edge, his wards are a mess, and Harry keeps feeling like he’s being watched in the garden. It’s going to take all of Harry’s ward-crafting skills—and self-restraint—to help Malfoy feel safe in his own home again.

The Last of What the World Left You by @xanthippe74 (T, 25k)

If the wizarding world won’t give Draco a second chance, he has a plan to survive: live in his Animagus form, a carrion crow, in the Forbidden Forest. Not only does Harry Potter come along and ruin it, he’s radiating a strange aura of power. With nowhere to go and a Life-Debt to his mother that Potter insists on repaying, Draco puts himself into the hands of the reclusive Boy Who Lived. Will the bleak corner of Yorkshire where Potter makes his home be another dead end or an unexpected refuge?

"Dad says" by GallaPlacidia (NR, 39k)

Eleven-year-old Scorpius starts writing to Harry. Harry starts to fall in love with Draco through his portrayal in his son's letters.

The Liars Department by @dorthyanndrarry (T, 103k)

This is a story about Harry meeting up with Draco Malfoy four years after the war. And a story about Harry, well, not hating his job per say, but it's not like he has much to compare it to and it seemed fine. His whole life seemed fine. Then Malfoy came along with and his flashy suits and fast car making everything seem dull in comparison, and Harry... Harry couldn't just leave well enough alone.

Silver Lining

f!reader x Draco Malfoy, a little bit of f!reader x Blaise at the beginning

Summary: Blaise Zabini is a dickhead, and you wish you would have seen it sooner. But someone else is here to help you through the damage he caused.

Warnings: Swearing, NSFW themes

A/N - Hello! If this post gets up to 15 likes a Chapter 2 will be posted! Please leave a comment if you have any suggests for this writing or other writings, I would love to hear from you guys!

In the beginning, everything was perfect. No one really knew how a Ravenclaw girl like you ended up dating a slytherin boy like Blaise, but you two didn’t care. He would take you out on dates to hogsmeade, give you small gifts, talk with you for hours, and even gave you the password for the slytherin common room. Not that you ever needed the password, because you always went there with him. He took pride in you being his girlfriend, showing his friends pictures of you two, calling you ‘his girl’, ‘darling’, ‘my love’. In the beginning, everything was perfect.

Until it wasn’t.

Slowly but surely, Blaise stopped hanging out with you. It started with fewer dates and less time talking together in his dorm, then turned into no dates. He stopped inviting you over. You two still talked in classes and the halls, but then he started ignoring you. Everywhere. “Hey Blaise do you maybe wanna hango—” you started, only for him to walk right by you. You were so upset that you turned around and ran away, missing the blonde boys head that had turned to look at you. “What?” Blaise said.

“Nothing.” The blonde one had replied.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

You were fed up. It had been two weeks of Blaise ignoring you, and you were done crying over it. At least knowing the Slytherin common room password would be useful now. You stormed to the dungeons and made your way into the common rooms. As you approached Blaise’s dorm door, a voice stopped you. “I wouldn’t go in there if I were you.” Ah. Draco Malfoy, one of Blaise’s friends you had mostly seen in passing. “Why not?” You asked firmly.

“You’re going to get hurt. If you walk through that door, your relationship is over.” You simply stared at the boy. You weren’t an idiot, you knew what he was implying was in there. But you weren’t going to let that stop you. “Maybe I want the relationship to be over.” You said, and reached for the door handle.

shit

You knew what to expect, but it still hurt like a bitch. There, on the bed you and Blaise had spend hours talking about life in, was him and Pansy fucking. He didn’t even notice you at first, continuing to thrust himself into her, until he followed her worried gaze to the door. “SHIT” he yelled, “this isn’t what it looks like, it’s a mistake! I don’t love her, she came to me first!” He continued to yell excuses at you, but you couldn’t even hear anything. It was like everything was in slow motion. You glanced from Pansy trying to hide herself under the sheets to Blaise, walking towards you while also trying to put his boxers back on. He reached out for your arm as you snapped back to reality and pulled yourself away, but not quick enough. He held your arm with a steel grip, looking up at you.

“I told you it was a mistake! Pansy means nothing to me! Just forgive me already, we are still boyfriend and girlfriend after all.” He said, with a smirk at that last part.

“Let go of me you bitch. We are done.” You said, trying your best to remain calm. “No the fuck we aren’t. You don’t get to dump me.” Blaise responded, his tone sending chills don’t your spine. “Blaise fuck off and let her go. You fucked up this time, and you still have another girl in your bed waiting for you.” Draco appeared out of nowhere, grabbing Blaise’s arm that was still on yours.

“Fuck you Draco” he said, but he still let you go and turned to Pansy. You couldn’t keep yourself up for much longer. You ran to the girls bathroom, the one no one ever goes in because of moaning murtle. You ran in, then collapsed on the floor sobbing. When did things go wrong? Everything seemed so right until out of nowhere Blaise changed. Maybe I’m the problem, you thought, and no matter how hard you tried to push that thought away it kept coming back. You weren’t sure how long you sat there for until you heard a voice.

“I’m sorry Blaise did that. He’s a total dickhead.” It was Draco. You sniffed, trying to pull yourself together, “Do - Do you know why he did it? Why he cheated on me?”

“No, but I wish I did. He lost his relationship with the perfect girl just because he wanted to get his dick wet.”

You laughed lightly and stood up. “I’m sure you already know who I am from Blaise, but let’s pretend that bastard never introduced us. I’m y/n. It’s nice to meet you.”

“I’m Malfoy. Draco, Malfoy. Are you up for plotting for revenge in the library with me?”

You smirked at this. Although you doubted you were done crying over Blaise forever, you had cried enough right now. A certain type of rage filled you, one that could only be satisfied with revenge. “I would love to, Malfoy.”

The Age of Us pt. 1 - Draco x Reader

Prompt: Glimpses into your lives through the years

Pairing: Draco x Slytherin!Reader

Part 2

Part 3 coming soon!

In First Year you're a ball of glimmering potential. You're staring wide eyed at the brilliant castle before you from the boat house and on the walk up a little Draco is trailing behind you, holding up your robes to prevent them from dragging in the mud. You don't even notice the sweet gesture as you spend the climb up rambling to him about how excited you are to begin learning about magic, bouncy as ever with a smile wider than he's ever been able to draw out from you. Not even his mother's white peacocks at Malfoy Manor brought out such a smile from you, nor the time years ago when you two rolled down the hill on your family's estate, covered in twigs and wrestling in a pile of dried leaves, giggly as ever.

╺╺╺╺╺╺╺

Draco watches proudly as his girl is sorted into Slytherin house, and he welcomes you with a radiant smirk as you trot over to the house table and seat yourself right next to him. He watches eagerly as Potter and that blasted orange haired Weasley boy are called out next, moping methodically along to the sorting hat, watching them with a glare he reserved for the mud-bloods his father would point out on trips to Diagon Alley. He hopes Potter will be sorted into Slytherin, after all, 'connections are key' Lucius would say and who better a connection than the chosen one?

'Oh Draco,' You tut, 'look at the sky!' you're in awe at the ceiling which you've only just noticed, the enchantments were executed so gracefully if you hadn't of read Hogwarts, A History before the year began you would've had no clue the great hall ever had a roof.

He looked at you with the same dirty expression sculpted on his face that he had given Potter through the ceremony, stuck like cement, but when he noticed your doughy lips parted in wonder, he reached over and with a nimble finger, he closed your mouth for you, leaving you blushing a tomato red.

╺╺╺╺╺╺╺

'Up! Up! Up!'

You're standing over your broom, watching the other kids stand in organised lines across from you in the fields, succeeding with calling their brooms to them. Draco had succeeded on the first try, of course, and you're embarrassed to be one of the last people whose brooms have still not so much moved from their original position.

He catches your eye and gives you a sympathetic look, crossing his lips into a firm line. The broom in his hand is tossed carelessly to the ground and he makes a leap towards you, his hands reaching to tenderly adjust your arm in another position.

Draco had received lessons over the Summer and was already worrying his mother as he hastily flew around the Manor windows on the shiny Nimbus Lucius insisted he needed. You watched him on warm Spring afternoons with your feet firmly planted on the ground in the grassy meadows as he perfected his flying, your hands busy with knitting because 'a little girl like yourself needn't fly,' as your mother had so often reminded you when you dared to ask.

'There, try with your hands like that, and say it firmly,' Your best friend instructed you, watching your worried eyes and flushed cheeks.

'I don't know Draco, maybe I just can't fly,' you confess, worried that really was the possibility.

'Just try,' he furrowed his brows, 'for me?'

You shakily nod your head, the last one on the field now without a complying broom. The Longbottom boy had now been escorted to the hospital wing by Madam Hooch and you hoped such a thing wouldn't happen to you but Draco seemed to read your mind when he notices your wandering eyes.

'Just look at me, look at my eyes, Y/N,' he began, rubbing your shoulders 'Don't focus on anything else,'

You gulped, staring into him with an openess you reserved only for him 'Up!'

The broom snaps into your hand and you squeal in excitement, throwing it away as quickly as it flys to you and embracing Draco in a hug so tight he could barely breathe.

You don't notice the glares the two of you received from Potter and his gang, but Draco does, giving them an equally dirty look before marching over to the remembrall that had rolled over and snatching it right off the ground.

╺╺╺╺╺╺╺

There was a troll on the loose in the castle and you've been escorted back to the Slytherin dorms by the Head boy and girl. Everyone had gone up into their respective dormitories in fear of being taken by the ghastly monster but you had tugged on Draco's sleeves with puppy dog eyes and begged him to stay in the common room and play a game of friendly wizard's chess with you.

He sighs and rolls his blue eyes to the back of his skull but reluctantly agrees and you sit warm by the fire on a bear hide rug. The chess board is nestled between the two of you and Draco instinctively goes to grab the white King but you start to sulk.

'Oh Draco, please, can I be white this time?' you beg, looking up at him with the biggest and glassiest eyes you could possibly muster. How could he say no?

'Ugh, you just want to be white because you want to use the Wayward Queen opening, you always use that one,' he retaliates, pressing the white King into your little hands.

'Do not!'

'Do too!'

'Do not!'

'Do too!'

You blow him a raspberry and make your first move. Pawn to E4.

'Ah hah!' He exclaims, pointing an accusing finger at you with a light scowl brushed on his features, tussling his air with his other hand in frustration. 'You're doing it! You're doing the same opening!'

You give him a ghastly stare and with a swing of your arm you knock over all of the chess pieces, huffing and puffing as they spread fallen all over the board.

'Fine! Stay down here and get eaten by the troll then!' You hiss at him, and run up to your dorm room to scream into your pillow.

You're sitting in the first potions class of the year, listening to Professor Snape lecture Harry about not listening after watching him methodically take notes on the Professor's wise words from a couple rows away. You weren't able to get a seat next to Draco at the front of the class and you silently thanked this luck, having boasted about how much you've studied all Summer in preparations for potions and knowing Draco had not read even a single passage.

You sat next to a bushy haired Gryffindor girl called Lavender who weary looked in a mirror and you smirked as you watched Draco's ivory head listening to Snape assign the first task ever: brewing a common poison antidote. When Snape announces the winning pair will receive 5 points each to their respective houses your eyes twinkle with anticipation.

You leave your partner behind to gather the ingredients for the potion: Bezoar, mistletoe berries and a unicorn horn. You bump into Draco in front of the ingredient cupboard, and beam at him proudly.

'I read about this potion in the potions book,' you smile sweetly up at him, purposefully brushing against him as you shove to grab the vials. 'It should be a piece of pie,' you laugh accusingly, standing as tall as your short legs allow you to.

'Good luck,' Draco laughs vacantly, handing you a unicorn horn from the top shelf you couldn't reach. His fingers brush against yours and you scoff, heading back to your cauldron.

Lavender is sat twirling the knife on its tip on the chopping board as if she'd never seen the utensil before and in the time you were gone had managed to spill water just about everywhere, wetting your parchment and bleeding the ink of the potion recipe.

'My goodness,' You exclaim, rushing to take away the knife and wipe up the water, 'have you two left hands?'

You watch the potion brew and bubble as it cooks, anxiously tracking the time with an hourglass. When the final grains of sands trickle through the narrowed passage, you hastily reach for the unicorn horn you powdered earlier and your heart sinks when you see your partner already poised over the cauldron, a pinch of the precious powder between her fingertips. She carefully sprinkles it into the cauldron and you watch in horror as a noxious cloud of black smoke billows forth and envelops you both in char.

'How many pinches did you put in?' You scream, wiping the soot from your eyes.

'Two,' Lavender whimpers, eyes stinging from the cloud.

'It was meant to be ONE!'

Everyone in the class is now giggling at your misfortunes and Professor Snape has now come over to see what all the commotion is about.

'You two better clean that up right now,' Snape chastised in his nasally voice, condemning you to blush in shame beneath the soot on your cheeks.

As Snape made his rounds, meticulously examining the colors of each potion, his scrutiny lingered noticeably longer on Draco's cauldron. The pungent aroma that emanated from Draco's concoction filled the classroom, matching the textbook's description exactly, causing you to wince involuntarily.

'Malfoy, Zabini, 10 points to Slytherin,' Snape announces.

Draco's triumphant gaze locks onto you as he revels in his perceived victory in the silent competition between the two of you. With a mocking laugh, he directs his attention to your soot-streaked face, his expression one of haughty satisfaction as he proudly asserts his well-deserved win with a piercing stare.

╺╺╺╺╺╺╺

Eyes drifting over to Pansy Parkinson you can't help but notice she is staring at your best friend, and you don't like it. You're in Charms class with Professor Flitwick and you're sitting a few seats down from Draco who is stuffed in-between his minions and looking increasingly annoyed from the class introduction Flitwick is moping on about. Pansy has painted on herself an innocent expression she only wore around Draco and you wished you could shake her until the ribbons came undone and her mask fell off.

Despite her Pureblooded nature and family status, you couldn't rid the feeling of unease whenever she was around and sharing a dorm with her turned to be nothing short of a Lovecratian nightmare. There was something about her that set your teeth on edge. You wanted to pry off her veil and examine her flaws beneath a microsope; you wanted to disect her and unravel the intricacies that made you burn with an inextinguishable fire.

You gaped at her when she cheered on Draco who had quickly succeeded in levitating his feather, leaning over the desk so far you thought she would topple right over and end head first in the middle of the classroom, bouncing on her horribly cut bob upside down and out of the classroom window and into the grounds. You imagined it so vividly you started to chuckle to yourself and didn't even realise Draco had been beckoning you with the usual smirk you loved across the desk.

Pansy looked at him eagerly, daydreaming about her name dancing on Draco's tongue rather than yours and she blushed a million shades of red when she realised she was drooling slightly from the corner of her mouth. You shot her a look of disdain, features twisting haughty from her sopping desperation. She knew that you had won - as did you -knowing it was your name on his lips, not hers.

╺╺╺╺╺╺╺

'Potter,' You're seething through your teeth, acknowledging his dreadful existence as you and Draco pass him on the way to the Quidditch fields. You're dressed head to toe in green, showing support for your house. Draco's Slytherin scarf is wrapped securely around your neck, flowing behind you in the wind and you delight in his scent. You can't help but watch Harry in pure disgust, not because you hate him by proxy, but because Draco should be seeker, not him and it wasn't fair.

'Rosier,' He starts back, his eyes narrowing to a squint at the two of you for an instant before he hurries back to the safety of the rest of the Gryffindor team. Malfoy smirks at you proudly, leading you to the Slytherin seating area with a gentle hand on the small of your back, luxuriating in seeing his scarf around your neck.

And when all of Hogwarts watches Harry reveal he has caught the golden snitch, you feel nauseous and you can only think back to all of the nights you spent comforting Draco when he found out Harry had made the team. You scowl, your fingers sliding down to find Draco's beneath the bench and you squeeze them hard. It should've been him.

╺╺╺╺╺╺╺

You wake up in a panicked sweat, the hair on your face sticking on your damp skin. You feel tears sliding down your plump cheeks and you reach up to wipe them away but they won't stop. Nightmares invaded your dreams, mercilessly rocking you awake in a sea of no hope. When you look around your sleeping quarters, you see strange figures in the form of your wardrobe, capes draped across armchairs and coat stands twice your height. Your dormmates are sleeping peacefully In their own beds, their light puffs of air comforting you - but it wasn't enough. You needed Draco.

Gulping, you manage to place your wobbly feet on the floorboards and wrap a Slytherin blanket around your tiny figure, tip-toeing out of the room without causing anyone else to lose sleep. You left the girls a silent prayer for their safety and you snuck down the stairs.

The common room was now empty in the middle of the night, the hot fire still roaring its song to warm the unforgiving dungeons the Slytherin house called home but you couldn't shake the uneasy feeling of being watched by prying eyes and you squeaked with the floorboards, rushing up the stairs opposite and straight to Draco's dorm.

You padded on the door softly with care to not wake the wrong occupant. You whispered his name more times than you could count, counting instead the hot tears that flew to the ground from your leaky eyes. When the door opens revealing a half-asleep Draco he knows right away to open his arms and hold you tight, and that is exactly what he did. That night he inhales your sweet scent and whispers sweet nothings into your ear, lulling the bad dreams away.

╺╺╺╺╺╺╺

Snow topples from the sky and for the first time in your life you're happy about it. Christmas break came and went all too soon and now in front of you lies the vast whiteness of Winter. She covers Hogwarts in a thick blanket and you sink in it's softness, snow filling your boots and socks.

'Ah!', you jump around from the chill, pausing Draco is his steps as he's foraging for a stick to finish the snowman the two of you had spent all afternoon building. He lets out a hearty chuckle directed at you when you point to your boots, mouthing 'wet' and pouting with your pillowy lips.

He is stifling a laugh as he goes back to searching for the perfect twig and you don't feel content at this reaction. Without a single further thought, your gloves pawed into the sheath around you and formed a perfectly round globe of snow. You eyed your target meticulously, catching the eyes of Blaise and Pansy in the process and before Pansy could warn her precious Draco, you've already belted the snowball at him and watched as it exploded into dust on his back.

Draco whips back to see you howling in laughter, bracing yourself with your hands clutching your thighs, the pom of your beanie shaking erratically. He frowns, glancing over to his friends who shrug their shoulders at him, and while Blaise sends a cheeky smile, Pansy is mouthing your name and pointing to you crudely.

'Hey!' he yells, abandoning the stick he spent oh so long looking for and creating his own balls of destruction. He was going to make you regret this.

That afternoon you all walked back to the castle covered in snow and ice, hair wet and lips pink but you silently wished the day would have never ended and you replayed it over and over in your head that night, cackling silently when the image of Draco's scowl turned into a mischievous grin and it all lingered in your mind.

hi!! congrats again :) i wanted to request a 💝 with draco malfoy and this 🫂 emoji if possible, ty

girl i- this is so incredibly late, bc i have so many celebration asks that i never got to because i got lazy and overwhelmed ugh. i'm so sorry. but here's what you asked for like four months ago! :D

He barged into her dorm in distress, his usually neat and signature hairstyle disheveled in messy scraps across his forehead.

Pansy, her roommate sighed loudly, continuing to survey her nails and cuticles as she spoke. "What are you doing-"

"Where's Y/N?" Draco interrupted quickly, urgency plain in his tone.

"She went out to your dorm a few minutes ago. Said she missed you, took her bag, and left. I thought you were with her." Pansy answered even quicker, surprising herself. "What's wrong? Is everything o-"

But before she could finish her sentence, Draco was already out the door, closing it behind him as he raced to his dorm, beads of sweat forming at the nape of his neck.

Each step closer to his dorm felt like a small dose of medicine, similar to what Y/N's laugh could do to him. It paralyzed him in a way he believed could only be the work of some god.

And it was just what he needed right now, if he could ever find you.

Sparing no time, he turned his doorknob quickly, his heart racing at the thought of getting to have her safe in his arms when-

"Dray?" A soft and quiet voice said from behind him, the intimacy in the way it said his name a clear giveaway to who it was, before Draco even saw them.

With a soft sigh as he turned around, his eyes fell on her in a way she hadn't ever seen before.

"Y/N." Draco said, clinging her body close to his as if she'd pull away if he didn't squeeze her tight.

While the suddenness of the exchange initially caught her by surprise, she quickly adjusted. Dropping the bag hanging loosely around her elbow, reaching up to lace her arms around his neck, her words blew on his skin softly. "Bad day?" She asked against his ear, pressing a light kiss to the spot below his ear.

"The worst." He answered, taking in her scent as his anchor as he slowly let her go, diminishing his affection to just pressing her hips against his, his arm around the back of her waist.

"Do you wanna-"

No, he looked at her, knowing she'd understand the look in his eyes, as he bent down to kiss her forehead gently. It was a language only a pair like them would understand - the language of love. "I just want to be with you."

"Well that's something I'm good at doing!" She smiled, leaning up to kiss him on the center of his lips, before taking his hand into hers. "Would you like to go lie down together, baby?" Y/N asked, leading him into his dorm and locking the door so they wouldn't be disturbed.

Draco beamed from ear to ear, a light blush tinting his whole face.

"I'd like that a lot, my love."

Healing a heart

Draco Malfoy x fem! reader

[Requested – see request here]

Summary: Draco felt half alive after the second wizarding war, that was until he found the two pieces he had been missing

Warnings: swearing, mentions of food, cannon character deaths, pregnancy and sex, ptsd, hurt/comfort moments, kissing, mostly fluff, time jumps

A/n: 8.2 k words, I written this mostly from Draco’s point of view, usually I like to switch and give both perspectives but I feel like this is his healing journey so I want to focus on him. Reader is a muggleborn and ex Hufflepuff. As usual I got so carried away and this is more of a oneshot since I decided to combine an idea I had preivously with this request. I hope you like it, the first half is the reader and Draco’s story and the second his Draco and his daughters, enjoy x

Navigation | Golden Era Characters Masterlist

Draco sighed as he ate breakfast, looking around his barren flat he couldn’t help but feel empty inside. It was however better than living in his family’s mansion, there were too many bad memories plaguing that place, the screams of the people his aunt tortured, his marking ceremony and many others he still relived every night. At this point he was just existing, only thing that gave him any satisfaction were the people he helped as a healer, even that was tainted as many people refused treatment from him as soon as they saw the remanence of his dark mark or heard his last name

Once he got to work he headed through to his little office. On his way one of the senior healers called on him “Yeah?” he tilts his head as he approaches her

“We need you in the general wing, our regular guy is off with his new born so we need you to cover for the next few months until he’s back from paternity leave” she explains

Draco nods “Fine” he wasn’t going to argue, he usually got stuck with crappier work, not that the general wing wasn’t a nice place to work but it was the place he got the most hate if they saw his mark. He cursed the day for being so warm as he prepared himself to overheat in the long-sleeved shirt he was wearing

Walking in he looks around trying to find the older women who usually worked when he saw someone groaning on one of the nearby beds. He decided to help them first then go off to find her.

Picking up the little chart he scans over it “You…” be professional, don’t laugh, it’s not funny “So you shocked yourself with an electric shock shaker?” he asks trying not to laugh at the note written in pretty handwriting about how the man tried to use it during late night activities

“Yeah” he winces as he sits up “The nurse said she’d be back soon with some potion”

Draco nods deciding to wait for the older women to return, he didn’t like her very much mostly because of her passive aggressive nature towards him being an ex deatheater. He was sure her taunting was just so he would lash out and call her a ‘mudblood’ or something equally as horrible to get him fired.

“Here we go” he hears a soft voice, lifting his head to see a young woman, probably ages with himself giving the man his potion

“Thank you y/n, I promise this is the last time I’ll be in here” the man reassures before drinking the potion, y/n?

Draco takes you in, your y/h/c hair loosely thrown up, a couple of strands framing your face effortlessly, shirts sleeves rolled up with a light dusting of sweat over your neck and exposed clavicle. He only realised he was staring when you spoke again

“Hi, can I help you?” you inquire, eyes trailing over him

“Yeah, I’m here to cover for the regular guy, is Jackie about?” Draco asks regaining his composure

“Jackie retired” you inform, his lips turn up with the thought that he doesn’t have deal with her anymore “I replaced her, I’m y/n” you hold out your hand towards him “Y/n y/l/n”

“Oh” he looks at you pleasantly surprised taking your hand “I’m Draco” he introduces himself, watching your reaction for the usual disgust but it isn’t there, instead you smile at him

“Nice to meet you, ready to get to work?”

Draco got to know you though little conversations you both shared while working. He learned you were a Hufflepuff in the year below him, which made sense as to why he never recognised you, he’d also deduced you were either a muggleborn or half-blood as you had good knowledge on muggle stuff when you spoke to patients and surprisingly you seemed indifferent towards his past. He wasn’t sure if that was the Hufflepuff side of you coming out or you were genuinely a nice person, he hoped for the latter but either way your presence made his work better, you lighten up his day.

After a couple of weeks Draco knew he had a crush on you, his heart would race when you were near, his eyes searched for you whenever he entered a room and the biggest indicator was the spark he felt whenever your hands would brush together. Problem was he didn’t know how to go about asking you out, hell, he had no idea if you were even single as you never delved that deep into each other’s personal life’s. He had gotten over his pure-blooded supremacy crap after the war, it was still routed deep but he was aware of it and stopped judging people for it, even so he was hesitant since his family would certainly not approve of you.

One afternoon he was walking through one of the corridors on his way back to the general wing when he ran into someone “Draco?” he turns to see Astoria smiling at him

“Oh hey” he smiles back

They had gotten close in his 8th year, although he wasn’t ready to date anyone back then so they decided to just be friends, still were, even if they hadn’t seen each other in just over a year “How you been you look great” she gives his arm a little squeeze

“Thanks, you look great as well” she blushes slightly at the compliment “I’ve been doing better” he says genuinely

“That’s really good to hear” the girl knew how bad things where, he told her about the constant nightmares back at Hogwarts but no matter how much she comforted him she couldn’t stop them

“How have you been? Everything alright?” he asks now remembering they are in a hospital

“Yeah, just a check-up, I’m all clear” she says as he nods knowing how she usually goes for them every few months to check the blood curse hasn’t started to take over “I need to head but do you want to have coffee with me?” she asks in a tone that he knows means a coffee date not catch up

“Umm” Draco thinks for a moment, eyes wandering over to see you walk out smiling with a patient as you speak, he turns back to the girl with an apologetic smile “I’ve actually met someone”

She smiles a little deflated before following his eyes to see you, understanding in her voice as she speaks “I’m happy for you Draco” she gives him a hug which he accepts “Maybe in another lifetime” she gives him one last look before she leaves

Draco watches her walk away then turns back to you, who is now filling out a discharge form, he takes a deep breath before walking over, you got this “Hey” he greets

“Oh” you jump cutely at his sudden presence “Hey” you smile before cocking your head “Everything okay?”

“Yeah” he nods “I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me?” he asks trying to hide the mixture of hope and nerves in his voice

Your eye brows raise in a kind of pleasant surprise “Are you asking me on a date?” you confirm, looking up with doe eyes as you pull your bottom lip between your teeth

“Yes, like a date” he lets out a nervous laugh as his heart races waiting for your answer

“Sure” you nod with a smile that makes his heart to backflips “I’m free after work” you say hopefully

“Perfect”

The date went well, Draco insisted on paying, of course it was no skin of his back but he still wanted to make you feel treated. He didn’t flaunt his wealth as much as he used to since everyone was more than aware of it as it was half the reason he and his father weren’t currently locked up in Azkaban.

He adored listening to you, he let you do most of the talking since his life was practically plastered across the papers after the war. He learned about your family, as well as about some muggle stuff he didn’t quite understand but was interested to learn about. At one point you mentioned going to support the Holyhead Harpies whenever there was a home game, he smiled through it but he knew which younger Weasley played for them, the topic reminding him of another one’s death.

After the meal he walked you home, his hand brushed against yours a few times on the way and he cursed himself for not taking it in yours as your walk to your apartment wasn’t as long as he needed to build up the courage to do it.

When you reached the buildings entrance you hesitated and looked up at him “Thank you for a wonderful time” you say looking up at him with a smile making no attempt to go into your bag for your keys

“Me too” he returns the smile before glancing at the door, he didn’t want this night to end but he also didn’t want to be too forward and kiss you

His heart aches a little at the flash of disappointment on your face before you begin to pull your keys out of your bag “I guess I’ll see you tomorrow then?” you give him a small smile before leaning up to kiss his cheek, lingering for a second before pulling back to unlock the door

Draco reaches out and grabs your wrist making you turn back towards him, he cups your cheek before pulling your jaw up to meet his lips with his fingers softly. You return the kiss right away much to his delight; the kiss only lasts a few seconds but to him it was like time stopped and he just knew he wanted nothing more than to do that every day for the rest of his life

A few months passed and his relationship with you was blossoming in a way more beautiful than he could have imagined. Sneaking kisses and subtle touches at work as he was back to his usual work, he missed not seeing you as often but every night he walked you home and eventually you both walked or flooed to work depending on which of your apartments you stayed at the night before.

Draco noticed changes within himself as well, he felt lighter now, the void he felt day to day slowly being filled with laughter as he made new memories. He felt like he was living for the first time in a long while, he didn’t get as self-conscious about his mark as instead of that horrid ceremony he saw how you would pepper it with kisses as you reminded him that it didn’t define him.

It wasn’t always smooth sailing but the rougher times were easier to cope with you, especially as the anniversary of the battle came around once more. In the early hours of the morning he woke from a nightmare, panting as he jolted up, sweat beading off his forehead as he buried his head in his hands. As he came to his eyes darted next to him, panicking that you weren’t there. He scoots off the bed, quickly shimming into some pyjama bottoms before heading over to check the bathroom. His uneasy state worsened as he saw it was empty, deciding head through to the main room

“Y/n?” he calls out concerned as he scans over the joined living room and kitchen, not seeing you

“I’m here” you say quietly as his eyes dart over to the window sill you were curled up on, as your eyes meet his they fill with their own worry as you quickly hop down and walk up to him “Are you okay?”

He doesn’t say anything just pulls you flush against him as he wraps his arms around you, letting out a sigh in relief as you glide your arms lightly around his torso. He held you for a good few minutes, making sure you were real and here with him before he released you

“what’s wrong?” you take his hand rubbing little circles with your thumb

He leans his forehead against yours “Just panicked when you weren’t there” he admits placing a gentle kiss to your nose

“I’m here” your other hand reaches up to cup his cheek as you press a light kiss to his lips “Do you want to talk about it?”

He shakes his head “What were you doing up?” he enquires softly, pulling back

“I needed a glass of water but then I got distracted” you explain letting go of his hand and ushering him to follow you

Draco’s lips turn up as he watches you shuffle in your fluffy socks towards the window, heart fluttering as he sees you wearing on his jumper. He walks over to join you, scandalously letting himself look at your upper thighs as the jumper rides up whilst you climb back onto window sill.

Soon he joins you, standing behind as he places his head on your shoulder done “Look it’s you” your eyes shine as you turn back to him

He lets out a little chuckle before leaning closer to look up at the star, he glances at you before his hands move you to lift you off of the window sill. He sees you pout for a moment before he takes your place on the sill, patting his lap for you to sit. You break out in a shy smile as you gently climb on to his lap, legs settling either side of his as you head moves to rest on his chest facing towards the window

“Can you point out some others?” you ask as you nuzzle into his chest

He plants a kiss to your hair, one of his arms move to wrap around you while the other begins to point out some constellations. Eventually he doesn’t hear you respond, looking in the reflection of the glass he sees you sleeping soundly in his arms, as you hummed and nuzzled deeper his to him, he knew in that moment he loved you.

It wasn’t long after that night he asked you to move in with him, he was a little worried you might find it too soon but you were more than happy. His flat finally felt alive, your stuff cluttered about, muggle devices he slowly learned how to work as well as a found love for tv shows. How he adored getting settled with you snuggling into him on the couch and watching a movie or catching up with a show called friends which he used to learn about muggle life, although it did mean he adopted some of the American slang and catch phrases.

He still wrote to his mother every few weeks, she knew he was seeing someone and he was in love but he never mentioned your blood status since it would a) start an argument and b) it was none of their business. One afternoon you were in the shower while Draco prepared veggies for the night’s dinner when he heard a knock at the door.

Walking over and opening the door he was shocked to see his parents behind it “Mother, Father” his mouth drops looking between them utterly confused, did he miss a letter or something?

“You haven’t come to dinner in a while because you’ve busy so we decided to come here instead” his mother says with a smile before she takes a breath smelling the food on the go “Looks like it’s already cooking”

He looks between his parents a minute before letting them in, he can already see by his father’s narrow eyes that he knows he’s nervous about something, and that something is currently showering blissfully unaware they are about to meet his parents. Closing the door, he watches as his parents eye the muggle things dotted about, his father with a clear look of discontent which makes Draco roll his eyes. Years ago he would have pleaded forgiveness, anything for his approval, but now he had self-worth that wasn’t defined by the Malfoy name.

“Are you’re making it yourself or do you have a…” his mother starts as you walk out of the hall in just a towel and wet hair

“Dray…” you freeze seeing his parents, eye widening as you look down gripping your towel tightly as you begin to spill out a series of apologies “I’m so sorry I didn’t know you were coming”

“It’s okay dear, why don’t you go get dressed and we can try this again” his mother says kindly while Draco’s hands ball into fists as he sees his father staring a lot lower than your face

You look at him with a confused look to which he mouths ‘I’m sorry, I’ll tell you later’. You scurry back into your shared bedroom while Draco moves to finish preparing the dinner and his parents sit at the dining table near by

“I’m assuming that’s the girl from your letters” his mother inquires “She’s very pretty”

“Yeah” he nods moving to put the food in the oven

He can feel his father itching to ask the question of your blood status although he’s sure by the muggle stuff he already has his suspicions. After a very awkward silence you re-enter the room tentatively, he turns to see his mother gesture for you to sit and you comply

“So, what do you do dear?” she asks

“I work as a healer at St. Mungo’s, that’s how I met Draco” you explain with a small smile, your voice a little shaky from his father’s stare

“Did you attend Hogwarts?” his father finally speaks, inflection in his voice

“Yes, I was the year below” you inform him

“House?” he says shortly

“Hufflepuff” his father gives a tight smile and nod while his mother looks surprised but he can tell she’s happy it wasn’t a Gryffindor

Draco shoves the dinner in the oven, he was lucky he made a big meal, sure the leftovers were going to be your lunches for work tomorrow but he would just take you out now, knowing you’ll deserve it for making through this next meal. He takes a seat with you across from his father with you on his left and his mother on the right ends of the table

There weren’t any other grilling questions after that, they mostly spoke of what was going on with them and his father’s work, and they asked himself and you about your own work. They did inquire about your qualifications; his father was seemed rather impressed when you said you achieved 10 O.W.L’s all A or O’s in grade and 5 N.E.W.T’s with similar results.

You were currently cleaning up as he waked his parents to the door, he was glad the door was out of earshot of you as they spoke “We’re very proud of your work” his mother says although Draco can feel the inevitable ‘but’ coming and they do not disappoint “however…we look forward to you next girl once you’re finished with this little distraction” she advises him

“Yes, she is very pretty and talented however as gifted as she may be, she is still of dirty blood and don’t try to defend it” His father says firmly “She is not worthy of your time, there are plenty of respectable matches we can arrange, I heard the Greengrass’ youngest daughter is still single”

“You used to be close with her as well” his mother adds

“So, when you take out the trash please consider her” his father finishes, although Draco can see the small grimace in his mother’s face clearing thinking that comment was a bit far

With that dire note they left, leaving Draco not surprised but still pissed off at his father’s comments about you being ‘dirty’when you were the purest thing on this earth. As he walked back into the kitchen you were scrubbing the plate over and over again in an almost obsessive motion.

Concerned he walks up and places his hand on your shoulder “Love?” you turn your head away from him, he reaches carefully using his finger to pull your chin around towards him. His heart breaks seeing the tears knowing you must have heard, he places the plate in the sink and cups your face “You aren’t a distraction” his expression is pained as he wipes the tears away

“They’re right I am dirt…” he slides his thumb down over your mouth to shush you

“Don’t you even think about finishing that sentence” he scolds “They can disown me for all I care because I’m not leaving you” he sees your eyes widen ever so slightly “I love you” he looks you dead in the eye as he says it

Your mouth drops open “you…” a small smile gracing your face

He kisses your forehead “I love you more than anything in this world”

“I love you too” you break out in joy

His heart leaps from his chest at the vocal confirmation, pushing some hair from your face before capturing your lips, pouring all of his love into it

Draco proposed to you the following spring and the news send shockwaves across the wizarding world. Every newspaper displayed it as the biggest gossip of the decade, the Draco Malfoy would be marrying a muggleborn, he knew he couldn’t stop the news if he tried besides he wasn’t going to hide you from the world just because everyone would find out. The day it was released he received a howler from his parents demanding that he took back his proposal, threatening they would cut him off and disowned him if he didn’t. He knew the constant stream of howlers from his parents were upsetting you, so he put a charm around the building to stop his parents’ letters from coming in and sent one back, informing them to go ahead with their threats. You both had good incomes now, you had recently got promoted and he had been saving for years so you were covered.

He was overjoyed when you said yes, but he could see the little glint of worry in your eye with every newspaper article or howler. He understood it and did everything to ensure you he wasn’t going anywhere, he was more affectionate in public, no longer scared to wear his heart on his sleeve and let the world know how much he loved you. With the engagement came gifts and blessings, hardly any were Slytherin. Pansy and Blaise sent him their wishes, Astoria sent a rather expensive engagement gift joint with her sister, your friends also sent their congrats. He also received a letter from Harry with his sentiment and you one from Professor Sprout as you were a favourite of hers.

The following spring he married you, it was an small intimate ceremony, Pansy, Blaise and your best friends were the bridesmaids and groomsmen, your close family as well as the Greengrass’s were also invited. About a week prior to the wedding he was officially disowned after his parents showed up at your door trying to make him to call it off. After that you both made arrangements to move out into the country side and refused to give anyone you didn’t trust your address.

A couple months after your wedding Draco was fixing his tie in the mirror, it was his birthday and you both were planning to go out for a nice meal. Once he had finally got it just right he realised you had been taking a while in the bathroom, as he walked over you opened the door looking a little disappointed but gave him a small smile pretending to be fine

“Are you okay?” he asks walking up to you, hands settling on your hips

As you look up at him your words and your expression contrast “I’m okay” his heart aches at the tears pricking your eyes

“Love” he moves to sit on the bed hands rubbing your outer thighs as he looks up at you “What’s wrong”

You frown “It’s silly” you shake your head

“It’s not silly if you’re upset” he tugs you closer motioning for you to climb onto his lap which you do, hands settling on his chest as you play with the edges of his suit jacket

“I was late” you say quietly

“Late?” he shakes his head for a moment before it clicks, heart skipping as his hands squeeze your hips “Are you?” he asks

“I forgot my potion a few weeks ago so I thought maybe I was but it was negative” you let the tears fall as you hang your head

He couldn’t lie and say he wasn’t disappointed but you both hadn’t really had this conversation yet “Do you wish it was positive?” he gently prods

You give him a little nod “I was a bit nervous when I took the test because we’ve only been married for a few months…” you take a breath “But when there was only one line I felt so devastated” you let your head fall into the crook of his neck

He kissed the top of your head “Maybe…” he his lips tug up slightly “Maybe you stop taking the potion?” he suggests

You lift your head up, eyes lighting up “You want…you want to try?”

“Well I was thinking more if it happens it happens” he lets out a little laugh “Would you like that?” he cups your face with a smile

“More than anything” you break out in a smile

“Well” he gives you a cheeky look, pulling you in closer by your hips making you let out a small squeal “Why don’t we skip dinner and have desert instead”

Less than a year later you fell pregnant, Draco was a nervous excited, he couldn’t wait to be a dad but there was still the old fear he’d somehow end up like his own father. He poured that worry into baby proofing the house, setting up the nursery, basically doing everything and never letting you strain yourself. The first time the baby kicked was amazing, even more so as a few weeks later you learned you were having a girl. After listing a bunch of names, you had two final choices, Lyra and Marigold, the former was his and the latter yours, deciding that when she arrived you would know which one it was.

Draco would probably class your daughter’s birth as the anxious he had ever been, he hated seeing how much pain you went through but when the nurse handed him his daughter he met your eyes and you both knew it was worth it. She was gorgeous, looked just like you but has his eyes, as he sat down next to you and handed you your daughter, he fell in love for the second time in his life, with your daughter who was later officially named Marigold

Draco was the one up most nights with, he never complained about it though, he adored rocking her back and forth as he just watched his little girl drift off in his arms. He spoke to her about everything and anything, even his nightmares had finally stopped now he had her, she made him feel whole like she was the final piece of the puzzle that healed him completely. She would look up at him with those big bright eyes and he knew he would do anything for her, she wasn’t even a month old and she had him wrapped around her little finger

Marigold was now nearing her first birthday and Draco was currently making dinner while you and she played. He smiled as he cut some of the veggies, hearing yours and her giggles echoing through from the next room

“Can you say mama?” he hears you say, leaning his head back to look through the doorway and watch as you attempted to coax her “Mari…” you get her attention “Can you say mama for mommy?” you pout at her which only makes your daughter giggle more

He smiles as you catch his eye, eyebrows furrowing as you bite your lip shaking your head as you turn back to your daughter “Mari” you take her little hand in yours giving it a light shake “Can you say dada?”

Draco lets out a small laugh before his eyes widen “Dada” he practically drops everything and walks into the room

“Did she just?” he looks at you who is equally excited nodding

“Dada” she makes the best grabby hands she can at him

He kneels down next to you, pulling her into his arms as he beams at her “Can you say that again for me darling?”

“Dada” she repeats in the most adorable little voice

Draco looks at you smiling, giving you a lingering kiss on the cheek before turning back to your daughter “Can you say mama?” he tries

“Dada” she says with an angry pout which makes you burst out laughing, Draco soon joining you

“You’re her favourite” you say still giggling as you lean into him kissing his shoulder as you do

As he sets her down to play with some toys before he whispers in your ear “You’re still my favourite girl love” giving you a light kiss behind it

You smile “Just don’t tell her that” you whisper back

It was a couple’s months after Marigolds 1st birthday Draco came back from work greeted by the sight of you and her playing on the floor before she crawled up onto your lap to show you some toy. He placed down the keys and entered the room, drawing the attention of his two girls

“Dray” you smile up at him

Marigold’s eyes light up as she sees him making his heart warm as she clampers off of your lap to presumably crawl over to him for a hug, but instead she stands up shakily and waddles quickly towards him. Both of you gasp as she does this, Draco dropping his bag and kneeling down to help catch her before she overtakes her own feet and falls.

“Daddy!” she squeals as she wraps her little arms around him, nuzzling her nose into his chest as he looks at you

“I didn’t miss her first ones, did I?” he says half sad at the thought he missed them and half proud of his little angel

“No, those where her first” you let out a little laugh as you crawl over to join them

The joy in his heart was overwhelming as he gave you a kiss on your forehead as you leaned into him, as he pulls away he sees you wearing a cheeky smile “What?”

“Someone’s jealous” you nod to your daughter who is pouting in the most adorable way

“You want a kiss too?” he asks which makes her nod quickly

He plants a gentle kiss on her forehead which makes her break out in the biggest smile before she wraps her arms around him again. Draco wraps one arm around her and reaches up to caress yours with the other mouthing ‘I love you’ as you smile and mouth it back

“Mari’s finally asleep” Draco says as he wraps his arms around your waist from behind, starting pepper a trail of kiss from just under your ear down to your neck

He hears you sigh as you melt into him before turning around and giving him a shy smile “And what exactly are you supposing we do” you say innocently batting your eyelashes

“Usually love I would happily play this game but it’s been months so come on” he grabs your arm and pulls you quickly towards the bedroom, shushing you as you squeal slightly from the manhandling

As you get into the bedroom, he throws you down onto the bed quickly casting a silencing spell as he climbs on top of you. You barely get five minutes before there is a little chap at the door followed by it opening slowly, Draco quickly throws the covers over you both as you look over at your daughter clutching her teddy as she patters on over to the bed.

“What’s wrong sweetie” you say as she climbs up on your side

“Nightmare” she sniffs holding her teddy closer to her chest

“You want a hug?” you ask as Draco discreetly shimmies his boxers back on under the covers while your daughter nods “You want one from me or daddy?”

“Daddy” she whines climbing right over you and into his arms

“Why am I not surprised” you smile shaking your head

“Come on Mari” he allows her crawl into his arms, her head nuzzling into the side of his chest as they lie down “You want to sleep here?” he asks her

She doesn’t say anything just nods into his chest, Draco gives you an apologetic smile as he motions to you lie down. You shift laying down on the other side of your daughter as he reaches out with his free arm to intertwine your hands, giving it a light squeeze as you both drift off to sleep

Draco was currently getting dragged through diagon alley by Marigold as they were on a day out, you were at work and he had the day off so of course when she asked him if they could go out he said yes. He was glad he invested in a bag with an extension charm with the number of things he had bought her today. He was sure you would probably kill him for that but he just could never say no when she looked up at him with those big eyes of hers

She had gotten ahead of him at one point and ran right into another man with his son “Sorry mister” she says as Draco approaches

“Mari don’t run off like that” he lightly scolds before turning to the man “I’m so…Po…Harry” he looks at his ex-arch nemeses in shock as he corrects himself

It seems Harry also had to stop himself from doing the same “M…Draco” he gives him a nod before turning down and eyeing Marigold then looking back up at him

“Daddy” she tugs on his jacket whispering not so quietly which is clear from Harrys smirk “That’s the famous one from the paper, that’s Harry Potter” she looks back at Harry

“And what’s your name?” Harry inquires as his own son just stares at Marigold unsure of what to do, looks like he inherited Harrys genes for being awkward, Draco notes as his daughter steps forward super confident

“I’m Y/’l/n, Marigold Y/l/n” she holds her hand out straight as Harry tries his hardest not to tease Draco, of course his daughter is a carbon copy

“Nice to meet you Marigold…Y/l/n” Draco sees Harry finally clocking the last name, giving him a look, which lies somewhere between surprised and proud

“And who’s this” Draco looks at Harrys son

“I’m James” Harry’s son says with pride, finally finding his voice

“What age is she?” Harry asks nodding to the girl and trying to make small talk

As Draco is about to answer Marigold beats him to it “I’m 5” she smiles

“I’m 5 too!” James says excited

Her face lights up “You want to be my friend?” she reaches out her hand while Draco and Harry share a look

“Yeah” James nods enthusiastically accepting her hand shake

After that Draco got used to seeing Harry as Marigold and James became best friends, them themselves weren’t what you could call friends but they were civil, while Ginny and you got along like a house on fire. James much like his father became obsessed with Quidditch and so did your daughter. When she asked for the most expensive broom for her age, Draco of course said yes while you said no, explaining that she would grow out of it and better to invest in a good one when she got to Hogwarts instead.

Draco however after marigold had cried and pleaded to him he gave in and bought her it resulting in a very cross you “I can’t believe you bought her that broom!” you shout at him

“I don’t understand why your so upset, it’s just a broom” he laughs a little at your hysterics

“It’s not just the broom Draco!” now he knew he was in trouble you only called him Draco when you were really upset

“Then what is it?” he looks confused

“You always do this! You buy her anything she wants, spoiling her rotten” you cross your arms letting out an exasperated breath

“So, what…I can’t buy my daughter anything?” now he was getting frustrated

“I didn’t say that” you sigh “What I mean is if you buy her everything she’s going to think everything will getting handed to her if she pleads enough. It’s not a good lesson and it’ll affect her later in life”

He knew you were right “I can’t say no to her” he admits in defeat sitting down on the edge of the bed

“I know” you walk over taking a seat on his lap straddling him “But please try and say no sometimes for me?” you give him your own doe eyes

“Don’t look at me like that” he says half laughing as he turns away

You cup his cheeks pulling him back to face you “Pleaseeeeee” you mock you daughters whine slightly

“You know she gets that from you” he shakes his head a little “I will try” he says genuinely

“Good because Hogwarts doesn’t need another student running around yelling My father will…Dray!” he leans back pulling you over onto the bed before tickling your sides

“Don’t you dare finish that sentence” he warns playfully

“My…father…will…” you extend the syllables as he continues his ‘attack’ before finally giving in “I surrender! I surrender” you say giggling

Draco enters the living room with a smug expression, holding Marigold first letter home from Hogwarts. He places the letter on the kitchen table, wrapping his arms around your waist behind you as you pick it up “what’s this?” you ask

“Read it” he days doing nothing to hide the satisfaction in his voice

“I knew it she’s always been a daddy’s girl” you say as you finish reading it

“You’re not upset right?” he asks with a tilted head, you two hadn’t really discussed what house you thought she’d be in but it was clear from the yellow jerseys you bought her and green ones he bought that there was some bias

“No” you shake your head “I can learn to love green” you giggle at him as you to look over your shoulder

“You’ll have to when we go to the quidditch games next year love” he smirks kissing your cheek

Draco and you were headed to the stands for Marigolds first game against Ravenclaw, as you looking up at the pitch reminiscing, Draco spots Marigold heading away from the pitch looking rather distressed

“Love you go get us a seat, I’ll be back in a little bit” he squeezes your hand and gives you a quick kiss before he walks off after her as you watch him with a knowing look

Draco catches up with her as she sits under a nearby tree, his heart hurting as he hears the sniffles “Mari?” he sits down next to her, back against the tree

She leans into him “I can’t do it” she croaks as her voice is stressed from crying

He takes her hand in his “Why darling?” he leans to look down at her other hand coming to brush away some hair that had stuck to her face from the tears

“What if I’m not good enough, or I can’t score or I get hit because I’m not fast enough or…or…” she starts to breath heavier as she panics

“Mari…Mari…look at me” she looks up at him through her tears “You’re more than good enough to kick those bookworms’ arses okay?”

She giggles a little but her face drops “People keep spreading rumours about me…they keep saying I brought my way onto the team”

Draco closes his eyes as his heart breaks “Don’t tell your mum I said this but fuck them” she lets out a surprised laugh “I did buy my way on, well my father did because I was so worried about what others thought of me” he confesses “But you earned that spot, we practiced every day over summer. So, fuck them and don’t ever listen to their lies because they are just jealous of your hard work and talent” he comforts her

“I love you dad” she lets her head fall into his chest as she gives him a tight hug

“I love you too Mari” he hugs her back “Now, you don’t have to go out there if you don’t want to” he reassures her

“No, I can do this” she nods looking confident again

Marigold did bring home the cup that year, Gryffindor won it the next and then she won it again the following year. This went back and forth until their final year when she was captain. It was now Christmas break and she came home agitated, Gryffindor and Slytherin would play last, neither had lost a game so far. It was looking like the final game would be the decider as it was unlikely Gryffindor would lose to Hufflepuff in the new year.

One particular breakfast she went off on a rant about James as he was Gryffindor’s captain “Ugh he so annoying…” she starts to mock James’ voice “Mari you’re going to lose, Mari we will have the final victory, Gryffindor rules” she sarcastically celebrates “…more like Gryffindor wankers” she insults making Draco bark a laugh

“Mari!” you scold but it’s light-hearted as you giggle at the sentiment

“Sorry mum but he’s just infuriating, with his long hair and he’s so popular, he flirts with everyone and they all love him, him and his stupid face” she huffs before looking out the window “I’m going to go a walk” she announces standing up

“Okay sweetie” you smile at her letting out a small laugh

“Be safe” Draco calls as she walks out the door hearing a distant ‘always dad’ as it closes

“You think we’ll win?” you ask

“Oh yeah, we’ll kick Potters arse” he smirks as he takes a sip of his coffee

“After all these years you still just want to beat Harry don’t you?” you give him a tight lipped smile as you tilt your head

“Yup” he pops the ‘p’ “Although that rant did take me back I used to complain about Harry the same way” Your eye brows knit together as you eye him

“Were we listening to the same conversation or is there something you’re not telling me” you chuckle

“She hates him, I mean if I was friends with a Potter since I was 5 I’d grow to hate him too” he says jokingly earning a playful nudge, as he looks over at you he sees you biting your lip as you try not to smile “What” he cocks his head

“Oh Dray” you place your hand over your mouth for a second as his blissful ignorance “She doesn’t hate him in fact…I think it’s quite the opposite”

“The oppo-WHAT!” he stands up “Oh no” he points “She’s too young for that” he shakes his head, there was no way, he wasn’t ready for her to date or deal with boys. Until now she hadn’t expressed any interest, although that would make sense if it was James she liked

“She’s 18 and she’s in her final year” you try to reason with him but he sees you trying your hardest not to laugh

“That’s still too young” he maintains “She can’t date anyone till she’s…she’s 30” he throws his hands in the air more anxious than angry at this point

“30!” you look at him in shock, losing it as your stomach starts to hurt from laughter

“Stop laughing I’m being serious!” he places his hands on his hips

“That’s his middle name” you joke to which he glares at you “Sorry” you stand up and rub his back slowly coaxing him back into his seat, placing your hands on his shoulders as you look down at him “James is a nice boy” he scoffs “Dray” you say a bit firmer to which he looks up at you “She’s going to date whether you want her to or not. And you might not like it but you’re going to need to support her” you peck his nose

“Does it have to be a Potter though” he whines starting to laugh as he leans his head back

“I’m afraid so”

Draco and you were screaming in the stands as Slytherin were announced the winner, both overjoyed as Draco gave Harry a smug look to which Harry just shook his head and laughed. Looking back at the field he saw the teams landing and Marigold taunting James

“Lossseerrr” she holds up her right hand making an L above her head as the rest of the Slytherin team laugh while James just stares at her smiling “I told you I was the best, I told you we would kick your…mhm” she declares before losing her balance a bit as James walks right up to her and pulls her in for a kiss

Yours and Draco’s eyes widen, he was about to stand up when you grabbed his wrist and forced him down. Even more so as James added some finesse which the men he was named after would be proud of, dipping her down as she kissed him back making the crowds go crazy

Draco looked over at Harry who wore the same smug smile he was wearing only moments ago to which he gives the same reaction Harry gave back before turning to you “Guess I’m going to have to get used to the idea of having the Potters as in laws” he says as you giggle giving him a kiss to the cheek

Draco headed towards the room a bit nervous, he had been kicked out while you, Molly and Ginny where all making the finishing touches. As he got to the room he passed Ginny and Molly who gave him small nods the former giving a smile while it was clear the latter still had a problem with him, but she did love Marigold so that was all that what mattered.

You exited the room just after them tears in your eyes “Our babies all grown up Dray” you pull him in for a hug

As he pulls back he gently wipes your tears “She is” he smiles sadly feeling the same way, he wasn’t sure if he was ready to let his little Mari go but it was time “Is she ready?”

You nod “Yeah she’s waiting for you” you smile, taking his hand in yours “I love you so much, I’m so glad you got forced to work in that wing with me” looking up at him with all the love in the world

“Me too…merlin love you’re going make me join you” he says trying to blink away the tears that were beginning to form in his eye “I love you too” he says giving you a sweet lingering kiss to the lips before moving to enter the room

“Mari?” he calls as he enters, stopping as he sees his daughter in the most beautiful wedding dress, makeup and hair all done but sitting on the floor with her back against the wall, he walks over joining her on the ground, her head gently falling onto his shoulder “You okay?”

“Nervous” she confesses

“It’s not too late you know I can grab the car and we can leave that idiot” he says playfully making her giggle on his shoulder

“Can’t” she lifts her head up to look at him

“Why not” he smiles down at her

“Because I happen to love that idiot” she returns the smile “I love you so much dad…I couldn’t have asked for a better one if I tried” his heart bursts as she speaks

“I love you too Mari. It’s going to be hard letting you go but…” he squeezes her hand “…before I do I want you to know that you and your mother…” he lets a tear fall “…healed my heart. Without you...I don’t even want to think about what would have become of me” he kisses her cheek as she tries not to cry and ruin her makeup

“Well” he stands up putting his hand out to help her up which she takes “We better get you down the aisle” he holds out his arm
