Lupin & Tonks: Order of the Phoenix Moments

If you've ever looked for all the Lupin & Tonks moments in OotP, look no further. I spent some time today compiling all the times we see Lupin and Tonks together (so you don't have to), with a few of my own notes for each of these moments. Something that came up for me while compiling this: we rarely see Tonks without Remus. If Tonks is anywhere near Harry, you can almost guarantee that Lupin is there too. I don't think this is coincidental.

We meet Tonks when we see Lupin in The Advance Guard. Tonks has a few sassy lines until Lupin introduces her as "And this is Nymphadora--". Tonks of course tells him not to call her Nymphadora (she calls him Remus), and then Remus finishes with "--Nymphadora Tonks, who prefers to be known by her surname only." My own notes: like many Remadora fans, I see this as subtle flirtation on Remus's part. Is it conscious? Probably not. I like to think he likes to rile her up every now and then because he finds it charming.

Lupin and Tonks carry Harry's trunk together in the next chapter. I picture Lupin behind Tonks so he can check out her trunk ;)

We learn from Harry that Remus steps in to help with cleaning Grimmauld Place, and sometimes they're joined by Tonks (she helped remove a ghoul from a toilet). This gives us an idea that Remus and Tonks are spending time together--with others around, presumably--in addition to any Order missions. I have a little HC that when Tonks comes over and Remus is at GP, he drops whatever he's doing to come see her and help with cleaning (even if he hates it).

We see Tonks again at the beginning of ch. 7, The Ministry of Magic. Harry wakes up and finds Arthur, Molly, Sirius, Lupin, and Tonks waiting for him. Tonks is tired but immediately greets Harry. Meanwhile, Remus: "Lupin glanced at Harry, then said to Tonks, 'What were you saying about Scrimgeour?'" I find it interesting that Tonks greets Harry while Remus just takes a look at him and goes instantly back to talking to Tonks. Harry: mild panic over upcoming hearing. Remus: glance and go back to talking to his crush. I HC that at this point, Remus is still unaware that he is developing feelings for Tonks, and Tonks is clueless about it.

Tonks shows up for the prefect party thrown for Ron and Hermione. Harry notices her with Sirius, Lupin, and Kingsley. Tonks wears her hair long and red, which makes Harry think she looks like Ginny's older sister (a high compliment, considering Harry finds Ginny very pretty). Tonks also says she wasn't a prefect, and then Harry finds out Sirius wasn't either, nor was his father, James.

Both Lupin and Tonks accompany the kids to King's Cross. Tonks goes with Harry (she's morphed as little old lady), while Lupin arrives with Ginny, Fred, and George. I picture the gang going back to GP, with Sirius in a great mood, and then Lupin and Tonks having some more bonding moments.

(The only time we see Tonks without Lupin is when Arthur is attacked and the kids go to St. Mungo's. It's Mad-Eye and Tonks who take the kids across London to the hospital.)

Lupin and Tonks escort the kids back to Hogwarts via the Knight Bus. Tonks is disguised as a tall, tweedy woman, and Lupin leads the way to the bus. It's a bit unclear if Lupin and Tonks take the Knight Bus back to London or if they Apparate away. As Harry only mentions the bus having disappeared, I assume that Lupin and Tonks went back on the bus to have some quality time together.

(We get a good bit of Lupin when Harry sees Snape's Worst Memory. One of the few times Tonks isn't around Lupin, but I think it's the middle of a workday and Remus and Sirius have nothing better to do than sit around at GP and relive the good old days.)

Tonks and Lupin show up at the Ministry in ch. 35, Beyond the Veil. Tonks gets seriously injured by Bellatrix and topples down many stone seats. Lupin tells Harry to take the others and go. Then Sirius dies and Lupin holds Harry back from going after him. We learn later that Tonks likely had to spend some time at St. Mungo's, but she should make a full recovery. I always like various interpretations of this injury and its impact on Remus: does he panic when he realizes she's unconscious? Is he there with her at the hospital? Did he bring her there? Is that when he meets her parents? So many options for these scenes.

The last time we see Tonks in OotP is at King's Cross. She's recovered, has bright pink hair, patched jeans, and a Weird Sisters t-shirt. She's standing next to a shabby-looking Lupin. She joins in the effort of intimidating the Dursleys, her sentence being finished by none other than Lupin. Tonks: "The point is, if we find out you've been horrible to Harry--" Lupin, finishing her thought: "--and make no mistake, we'll hear about it."

All of these moments are from Harry's POV. We can assume that there are missions that Lupin and Tonks did together, and many more moments of bonding at Grimmauld Place with the Order. Tonks is with Lupin when we meet her for the first time in OotP and again when we see her at the end.

From Harry's POV, we can't really see their relationship building, but given what we know later in the series, it's not hard for me to imagine each of these moments as bigger points in time when Lupin and Tonks grow closer to one another.

HL FIC LIBRARY ✤ AUTHOR REC

AO3: phdmama

Tumblr: @phdmama

STATS:

✤ Number of fics: 208

✤ Posting Since: 2016

TOP 5 FICS:

1️⃣ Hold My Heart {E, 14k}

“Excuse me, mate, I’m the window seat here.” The voice was soft, apologetic, and accented in something a bit unfamiliar — northern England, maybe, Harry thought.

“Oh,” Harry jumped to his feet and moved aside, “I’m sorry, I didn’t see you standing there.”

The other man laughed as he swung a bag into the overhead compartment and slid into the seat. “You were well caught up in that book, mate. What are you reading?”

Harry paused, wondering how to explain the fact that he was reading an epic and x-rated romance that was the story of a relationship between a prince and the man he’d enslaved. “Oh, you know, just some fiction my sister recommended.” He turned to look at the man and froze.

Sitting next to him was Louis Tomlinson.

Or, the one where famous Louis Tomlinson offers his hand and a lot more to his seat mate on a transatlantic flight.

(Co-written with @a-writerwrites)

2️⃣ Feels Like Coming Home {E, 60k}

The last thing Harry Styles expects when he's hanging out at the Someday Cafe in Somerville one rainy October day is for his ex, Louis Tomlinson to walk through the door, but that's exactly what happens. After a spectacularly ugly break-up three years prior, Harry hasn't heard one word from Louis, and he's moved on. Gotten over him. But having Louis back in his life, not to mention working at the restaurant where he's a chef, isn't easy, and the feelings that Harry thought he'd left turn out to be not so easily forgotten.

This is a story about love and the power of forgiveness, and how the hard choices we make define us, and change our lives.

3️⃣ On the Go {T, 2k}

From this post because I could not resist.

4️⃣ It's a Better Place (Since You Came Along) {E, 51k}

When Harry Styles, a mid-level talent, Finder, and small business owner, sets off on the vacation of a lifetime with his best friend, Niall Horan, he has no idea the changes his life will undergo over the next nine days. He's got it all planned - there's going to be shore excursions, lounging by the pool on the deck of the luxurious cruise ship, not to mention margaritas. What he does not plan for are the new friends, new bonds, or the mystery from his past that comes back to haunt him, and he certainly hasn't planned for Louis.

5️⃣ For Better and For Worse {M, 12k}

Harry and Louis have been together for 5 years and they've been getting questions when they would be getting married and start a family. Bur Harry doesn't have the time. They were arguing one morning when Harry had enough and left for work. He's a doctor and works at the a&e there is a call that there has been a bad car crash and that there is more than one patient coming in. Harry does his job good and works on the first patient and everything goes great until his next patient is Louis.

HIDDEN GEM:

💎 Unveiled {M, 65k}

The train grinds to a halt and Harry leans forward in his eagerness to take it all in. It’s a gorgeous Spring day, the sky the same intense blue that he knows from home, which comforts him. There’s much here that looks almost familiar, but then so much that is new and strange to his eyes. The bustling station platform and winding streets beyond paved in cobblestones look much like home. There are vehicles ranging from small to very large, some with strange and unusual shapes of which he can only guess the purpose. But most surprising are the people. There is a crowd gathered, filled with men and women, some in what looks to be a military uniform, some in what must be the street clothes in this Land.

There are no robes. And not a single one of them is veiled.

Do you have some favorite fics that are fairly fair to Harry (for tomarrymort 😉)? Like fics where Harry isn’t utterly consumed by Voldemort? Often in some of the most popular tomarrymort stories Harry’s character/independence tends to disappear or be completely taken over. Don’t get me wrong, those popular fics do it extremely well, but I was looking for a slightly different flavor of this pairing!

Thanks for the ask, anon! I can definitely rec some fun reads where Harry maintains his independent streak and has a high degree of autonomy, regardless of however Voldemort is trying to influence him.

Hope you enjoy these and that there’s at least a few new ones in the list that you haven’t read yet!

A Darkness by Any Other Name by river_marrow (M, 21k, WIP)

Decades after the war ends, Harry is thrown through the Veil, and finds himself in an alternate reality where the leader of the Muggleborn uprising is the Dark Lord Voldemort.

A Dead Man's Guide to Reliving Your Youth by @officialsporkintheroad (M, 139k, WIP)

After dying in the Forbidden Forest at Voldemort's hand, Harry is returned to his 11-year-old self with no memories of his life before, just a vague sense of doom and weird knowledge of the wizarding world that he can't quite explain.

All For Show by @cannibalinc (E, 43k, complete)

When Harry discovers he's a horcrux, he strikes up a deal with Voldemort and starts calling the shots when it comes to wizarding world politics.

draw me after you (let us run) by @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger (E, 215k, WIP)

Harry tricks Voldemort into a vow (guaranteeing the safety of Harry’s loved ones, in exchange for giving up the prophecy), but then Harry runs away before he has to fulfill his half of it.

Harry James [Redacted] by @duplicitywrites (T, 23k, WIP)

Harry gets thrown back in time to when his parents were in school. He tries (unsuccessfully) to keep a low profile, but ends up drawing the attention of a certain rising Dark Lord.

No More by @vdoshu (T, 34k, complete)

Harry walks into the forest, faces the Killing Curse, and wakes up on the train platform in Limbo. And he decides that he’s done listening to Dumbledore, and will forge his own path from here on out.

One Year In Every Ten by @saintsenara (E, 114k, WIP)

A series of gruesome murders 10 years after the war has Harry and the rest of the Aurors completely stumped, until Harry figures out how to bring Voldemort back from beyond the Veil in exchange for his help in solving the murders.

tempor · al | ary by @being-luminous (E, 16k, complete)

In which a young Tom Riddle travels into the future and discovers Voldemort has won and Harry is very happily in a relationship with him.

They, of Riddle Manor by riddlereading (M, 16k, complete)

Just one thing goes differently when Tom goes to Riddle Manor intending to kill his muggle relatives, which then sets off a sequence of events that result in Lily surviving and Harry growing up (with a happy childhood) in Riddle Manor.

Wings of Ash by IceLynx (M, 31k, complete)

Harry consults on a missing persons case for the Ministry. The former Dark Lord Voldemort, who is now living under Harry's supervision in Grimmauld Place in the form of a snake, helps him crack the case.

ATEEZ x Harry Potter Universe Masterlist

This is my take on what I think Ateez would be like in the HP universe. My little safe space since I'm back in my HP era and Ateez had their 3rd Japanese comeback.

Although I've been a casual reader for many unholy years, this is my first attempt at fanfiction. (Please bear with me, I swear I have some good ideas).

I post these on AO3 as well! (https://archiveofourown.org/works/54307042/chapters/137539711)

There will be updates to this post as my writing progresses!

Houses:

Gryffindor - Jung Wooyoung, Choi Jongho

Slytherin - Kim Hongjoong, Choi San

Ravenclaw - Park Seonghwa, Kang Yeosang

Hufflepuff - Jeong Yunho, Song Mingi

Student's introductions!

Who Was I Trying To Be?

Park Seonghwa

A student who goes relatively unnoticed among the new first years, but who is a legend to anyone who's ever crossed paths with him. With Music as his extracurricular passion, he weaves spells through enchanting notes, leaving a musical charm in the air. Enthralled by the cosmic wonders, Astronomy is his stellar domain, while Transfiguration becomes a stage for his enchanting transformations.

He might have been sorted into Slytherin for his ambition and determination if it weren't for his brains and creativity in music. He couldn't be happier to be sorted into Ravenclaw. After all, being in Slytherin would mean spending more time with Kim Hongjoong. Which is not such a terrible scenario when you look at it from a certain perspective. Except, for Seonghwa, it is. The cunning Slytherin boy may be adored and praised by all the students and professors. But Seonghwa can see right through him. He knows the real Kim Hongjoong, the one who is hiding behind a wall of hypocrisy, deceit, and deception.

I Used To Hear A Simple Song

Kim Hongjoong

Charismatic and popular with students and professors alike, Hongjoong effortlessly walks the fine line between breaking the rules and avoiding the consequences.

In the world of magic, his favourite subjects - Astronomy, Defence Against the Dark Arts and the Study of Ancient Runes - reveal a wizard of many talents. Hongjoong's mastery of both offensive and defensive spells makes him a formidable force in Defence Against the Dark Arts, a reputation he proudly flaunts.

Adding a harmonious twist to his magical journey, music serves as Hongjoong's extracurricular escape. But amid his academic pursuits, an unexpected connection emerges. Seonghwa, the Ravenclaw scholar, harbors an inexplicable dislike for Hongjoong. In response, the Slytherin captain amuses himself by flirting playfully, turning the tension into a game of teasing. He continues to tease him every chance he gets. "You're so obsessed with me and my business.. do you have a crush on me, Cottonhead?" However, underneath the banter lies an underlying fear that Seonghwa might reveal Hongjoong's well-guarded secret.

When Will You Learn?

Jeong Yunho

Jeong Yunho, the spirited Hufflepuff whose green thumb in Herbology and fascination with History of Magic paint a vivid portrait of his academic life. As housemates and best friends with Song Mingi, their camaraderie echoes through the Hufflepuff common room.

As a half-blood wizard raised in the enchantment of magic, Yunho's intrigues extend beyond the wizarding world. His love for Muggle Studies opens a door to the mysteries of Muggle life and inspires him to pick up a paintbrush in his spare time. In the realm of art, Yunho finds solace and inspiration by attending extra-curricular Art classes with his Gryffindor friend Jongho.

Despite Yunho's endearing positivity, a subtle undercurrent of forced cheerfulness raises questions. Mingi senses a veil over Yunho's happiness, a facade that conceals potential trauma. Just as secrets linger in the halls of Hogwarts, Jeong Yunho's painted smile hides depths that only time may unveil.

Clever As A Devil And Twice As Pretty

Kang Yeosang

Kang Yeosang, the clever and mischievous Ravenclaw whose talent for Potions and Charms has earned him the praise of his professors. Yeosang's mastery of potions goes beyond the textbook, modifying recipes for his own ingenious purposes.

Along with his housemate Seonghwa, they are known as "the walking statues" for their dazzling looks, but Yeosang's appearance belies his true nature. Seemingly shy and innocent, he harbours a secret attraction to strong, muscular men, finding Jongho's strength in particular irresistible.

Encounters with Jongho in the school library and in their shared Potions and Charms class become the setting for Yeosang's subtle provocations. Beneath the facade of innocence lies a cheeky bastard with a sharp tongue that he only reveals to those he trusts - Seonghwa, Jongho, and Wooyoung. The trio are witnesses to Yeosang's unfiltered thoughts, though other students dismiss Jongho's stories as mere gossip.

As Yeosang weaves a wall of pretended strength and independence, a mystery lingers. Who, or what, will crack the Ravenclaw student's shell and expose the vulnerability beneath?

And Then, The Bastard Winked At Me

Choi San

A reserved Slytherin pureblood, Choi San has a natural brilliance for the wind-focused magic that runs through his veins. Arriving late to Hogwarts and his famous wizarding family surname often precedes him, making him noticeable among his classmates. Despite this, San keeps a low profile. He entrusts himself to a select few, including his cousin Jongho, Care of Magical Creatures classmate Mingi, fellow housemate and quidditch team player Hongjoong, and an unexpected friend, Wooyoung.

Mastery in Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts is just the tip of the iceberg for San. His knowledge extends beyond the curriculum, leading him to invent his own spells and become a formidable duelist, hinting at sources of practice beyond the Dueling Club. His stress-relieving activities include tending to magical creatures in the Care of Magical Creatures class, where the calming presence of creatures such as Kneazels allows him to relax and spend time with Mingi.

San develops a friendship with Hongjoong and a friendly rivalry with Wooyoung in the realm of Quidditch. The Seekers clashing on the Quidditch pitch becomes a familiar scene, with victory over the Gryffindors adding a hint of satisfaction to San's reserved demeanor. Despite Wooyoung's fiery approach, San secretly appreciates the energetic balance Wooyoung brings to his life.

Choi San is still a mysterious figure in the murmurs of the Hogwarts hallways, his past and skills entwined in the mystery surrounding his ancestry.

Bonus:

A quick peek at San's personal spellbook

How Dare You Insult My Frog?

Song Mingi

Song Mingi, the embodiment of Hufflepuff's famed loyalty, is entwined in the threads of friendship and magical creatures. As Yunho's roommate and childhood confidant, Mingi's heart is a verdant garden, cultivating both leafy greens and the bonds of friendship.

Mingi's personal gardening haven behind the Beasts classroom is a monument to his unwavering love of the enchanted and the natural, and it flourishes with his fondness for magical creatures. Mingi, who finds Yunho's love for Muggle studies inspiring, takes great care of his vegetable patch, with each plant serving as a testament to his meticulous nature.

In Mingi's world, loyalty to inanimate companions is as important as loyalty to friends. His cherished toad, Pocco, is a symbol of quiet companionship, providing a calm contrast to Mingi's own chatty and extroverted personality. Mingi and Pocco take evening walks near the school's boathouse, a tradition that Yunho can't help but find irresistibly endearing.

But Mingi's loyalty shines clearest for his friends, and he holds a special place in his heart for Yunho. From socks and quills to a lunchbox that has remained the same since their first year, the commitment reaches even to the little things in Mingi's life.

Mingi prioritizes listening to others, reaching a compromise, and looking for common ground rather than engaging in conflict. But Mingi's attitude towards Yunho and Pocco shifts, and he becomes willing to go against his morals in order to stand up for the ones he cares about the most.

Are You Flirting Or Starting A Fight?

Jung Wooyoung

Introducing Jung Wooyoung, the vivacious Gryffindor Seeker who embodies confidence and passion. A wizard with a heart as expansive as his daring maneuvers on the Quidditch pitch, Wooyoung's spirit ignites the Gryffindor stands with each thrilling match.

Off the pitch, Wooyoung's companion is Ned, a ginger cat who adds a touch of warmth to his lively personality. When not soaring through the air or studying magical arts, he works as a part-time cashier at Honeydukes, indulging his sweet tooth during shifts.

Wooyoung defies expectations by excelling in the intricate arts of Divination and Transfiguration. These challenging subjects showcase his dedication and intellectual prowess.

Yet Wooyoung's interest is drawn to the mysterious Slytherin, Choi San. Unfazed by his shameless flirtatious remarks, San's lack of interest turns into a powerful magnet that pulls Wooyoung into an interest that develops into a genuine friendship—albeit one laced with unspoken attractions.

But on the Quidditch pitch, their friendship turns into a fierce rivalry. San's skill contrasts with Wooyoung's competitive attitude, and each defeat fuels his will to succeed. The Gryffindor is passionate and short-tempered, and he shows it. Especially when he sees San smirking subtly, acknowledging the Slytherins' victory.

The Smell Of Books Is Eminent

Choi Jongho

Choi Jongho brings an unexpected twist to the Gryffindor stereotype, defying the expectations placed upon him by his prestigious wizarding family. Contrary to the assumptions that came with his famous surname, Jongho embraced the scarlet and gold of Gryffindor over the green and silver of Slytherin. Despite his parent's disapproval, Jongho chose to follow his own path, shattering his family's hopes of raising another Quidditch champion.

Despite his strong build suggesting Quidditch skill, Jongho turns down the offer due to the attraction of Divination, Charms, and Potions. He was bound to conflict with his family because of his academic decisions and lack of interest in the family's obsession with blood purity. Unfazed, Jongho considers severing ties if his family doesn't agree with his chosen path.

Beneath his tough exterior lies an obsession with Yeosang, a particular Ravenclaw. While Jongho may seem uninterested, he is drawn to Yeosang's intriguing aura. Their paths cross in classes and late-night library sessions, offering a challenge that Jongho - who loves challenges - simply cannot refuse.

Even though Jongho may seem intimidating, his outspoken nature belies a passion for the arts known only to a select few, including his classmate Yunho and fellow Art class companions. Rather than flaunting his skills, Jongho prefers to quietly master his artistic pursuits, adding another layer to the Gryffindor who chose to paint his own bright future.

very self-indulgent but beware, here goes! i was re-reading ending of OotP as one does in monday afternoon, and i was remineded how decidedly Nearly Headless Nick responed to devastated Harry when he asked if Sirius could become a ghost (aside - such a painful pages… Harry's grief was tearing me apart, again as always). “He will not come back. He will have… gone on.” Yes, Sirius wouldn't like pale imitation of life but… even for Harry? When he'd do anything for his godson including being locked up in Grimmauld Place? But then, Nick has seen Sirius and James through all Hogwarts years. And James was gone. And for Nick it was obvious, the choice he'd made, death with James or life without him. I'm not d=saying Sirius was suicidal, really, but Sirius did stay on the other side in the end, where James has been waiting for him.

Gods, anon. You just had to make me go and re-read the book and cry a river, didn't you? 😭

Seriously speaking, this is very deep and needs an essay to be written on. I have received another ask about the concept of the dead/death and the living/life in HP series some time ago, so I'm writing a meta on it. (If by chance the anon who sent me that ask is reading this, please know that I have not forgotten to answer, I am writing a presentable reply) .

I decided to break apart your ask into two parts, I hope it is ok.

A. The reality of what we get in the books.

B. The self-indulgent part

The reality

I decided to re-read the last parts of the OOTP as well (since you mentioned reading it ) . So, generally my source for your ask is the 5th book + some quotes from here and there.

The conversation between Harry and Nick is a very curious one, short and sad, yet solid with no place for doubt. But before coming to that, I want to go back to the first book and quote Dumbledore about the simplicity of accepting death when one is knowledgeable enough. Not as being ok with throwing away one's life pointlessly but as coming to terms with the fact that there is no need to hold on when you have done your part.

"After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."

Albus Dumbledore - HP and TSS, page 297

Now some other quotes if I may, because they will come handy. 😉

The 7th book and the engraving on Lily and James' graves:

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

"It doesn't mean defeating death in the way that the Death Eaters mean it, Harry," said Hermione, her voice gentle. "It means…you know…living beyond death. Living after death."

Hermione Granger - HP and DH, page 328

and in the 5th book:

"Oh, come on. You heard them, just behind the veil, didn't you?"

"In that room with the archway. They were just lurking out of sight, that's all. You heard them."

Luna Lovegood - HP and OOTP, page 863

These quotes show how serious life after death is portrayed in Harry Potter. It's a simple notion yet very fundamental. A living person dies and continues their journey in another life/dimension. The living can sense their presence or even hear them if the border is narrow enough and they have seen death before like Luna and Harry ( the veil being an example of that ) , but they are dead, they are in another dimension, they don't linger on where they should not.

Dumbledore puts it as - going to bed after a very, very long day - in the first book, a very well-done impression of the phrase rest in peace ( R.I.P) for the dead.

Harry's conversation with Nick is curious because it clears these facts:

1 . You have to accept the notion of death to be able to pass on.

2. You shouldn't fear death.

As proved by Nick:

"I was afraid of death," said Nick. "I chose to remain behind. I sometimes wonder whether I oughtn't to have…well, that is neither here nor there…in fact I am neither here nor there…." He gave a small sad chuckle.

HP and OOTP - page 861

Nearly everyone in the HP universe whose role were effective enough, accepted death - like an old friend - , each in their own respective causes ( good or bad ) . James and Lily died for their son with no hesitation, Dumbledore planned his own death for the greater good, Snape knew of his inevitable death by Voldemort, Bellatrix had such strong loyalty and belief and Sirius…bright, wonderful Sirius who was the best godfather on earth, died with adrenaline in his veins and not confined to a house he hated. Sirius Black was a logical adult who had fought in two wars and survived Azkaban. He was aware of the risks of his actions, specially in the DOM. The fact that he went there with no hesitation, shows that although he cared and loved Harry to the moon and back, he was aware and had accepted the fact that he may die at any moment and was at peace with it, even way before DOM.

Personally, I think it's not the matter of how much you care or love someone. If it was, James and Lily would have come back for their poor orphaned baby, so they could both terrorise the Dursleys into taking good care of Harry and proving proof for Sirius' innocence as ghosts. I believe it's the matter of choosing to live in a useless limbo or going forward, to where you belong after you die. After all, if linger behind, the dead will suffer in the mortal world because they don't belong there as said in the tale of the three brothers. Nick's turmoil is a proof of that.

Sirius is not a type to linger, he was bright and knowledgeable and bold and if you ask me, he needed peace upon his soul.

The self-indulgent part ❤

Now to the important part a.k.a prongsfoot. 👀 Sirius loved Harry with all that he had. He did things for him that no one had done before, like escaping Azkaban. Harry was his everything after James. Harry was his responsibility, his best friend's child, his ray of sunshine, the person he cared the most for in life. But here is it. In life.

Now, Sirius dies. He falls through the veil and in shock he sees James there, smiling sadly with wobbly lips and his hands in his pockets like old days and Sirius is tired. He has been fighting and struggling most of his life, he had suffered loss after loss and he had to endure Azkaban with the guilt of switching the secret keeper's plan. He just wants peace. He wants the love he had lost. He wants James and there James is, crying and laughing at the same time, whispering about how he has missed Sirius and he is sorry because Sirius deserved a full and happy life while Sirius barks a teary laugh and says his life is fulfilled because he had died defending his godson and meeting his lover after that.

No, Sirius was not suicidal at all. This is something that I don't believe for a second despite a lot of people in the fandom believing in. Sirius was a bright star, the brightest, and he shone until the end and fulfilled his duty as a caring parent. But every story needs an ending and Sirius Black's was a bittersweet one, a tragic tale of a charming boy laughing in crimson and gold and the life which was stolen from him by the most painful betrayal. Sirius Black's life is a heartbreaking one yet death brought peace upon his tired soul as he finally reunites with other half, James Potter.

Sorry for the long reply, anon. Off to cry in a corner now. 😭

Beyond the Veil

Read on ao3 here

I cried writing this :)

CW: Major character death at the beginning (Sirius goes through the veil)

He heard the curse before he had time to register what had happened.

That familiar ‘Avada Kedavra’ that sent a cold chill up his spine and had his eyes scanning for Remus, Remus, Remus-

A flash of light, and Sirius was tossed backwards, straight onto a cold, dark stone floor. It felt pretty much identical to where he had just been, as he sprung up, feeling for his wand. Shit, it was gone, he’d have to go without…

Where was everyone?

He glanced around for a few moments, taking in the lack of Harry, Remus, anyone. Well, nobody until a voice sounded from behind him.

“You’re new.” Sirius whirled his head around, hands flying up and balling into fists. The person, skin sunken and faded, bags under their eyes and long, dishevelled hair, raised their hands defensively, in surrender. “Hey, don’t try to hurt me. I’m just as dead as you are.”

“Sorry?” Sirius said, voice fitting uncomfortably in his mouth, falling slightly differently. “I’m- I’m not… Listen, I- someone shouted a killing curse, I need to go and check on my- on Moony.”

“Um… yeah. Yeah, I’m sorry you have to hear about it this way, but you’re very much dead.”

“No, there’s no way…”

“Listen, we were all in denial at first. It’s a lot to process, going through the veil.”

“The veil?”

“Yeah, y’know the arch with all of the white? That’s the veil. It puts us here. We’re all dead, but not quite moved on.” Sirius felt cold panic grip him tightly. He had people. Remus, Harry, they needed him. He needed them.

“Is- no, I can’t- what about Remus, I-“

“I don’t know who Remus is, I’m sorry. Is there somebody alive you need to watch?”

“Watch?”

“Yeah. Take a look around.” Sirius, ignoring the panic and the sinking dread at the fact that the person sounded like they were right, he glanced around to find a group of people, all with slightly greyed skin, staring through mirrors that adorned the drab stone. “Pretty much everybody has someone to watch. That’s why none of us have moved on. We don’t want to yet.” They said with a shrug, Sirius watching as someone, a man, turned excitedly.

“My son’s about to graduate!” He said excitedly, before turning and stepping through the mirror. The person who had been talking to him turned back.

“It’s nice to be able to keep track of the people we love, y’know?”

“I thought… you only because a ghost if you agreed to it.” He said, confused, trying to pick everything apart. This couldn’t be real, there was no way.

“We’re not exactly ghosts.” They answered. “The rules of the veil are slightly different to the rules of normal death.”

“How do any of you know this?” They shrugged.

“People figured it out in the beginning, and it got passed down. We’re stuck here, but we can go into events for a brief period of time if we really want to. However, unlike ghosts, nobody living can see or interact with us. Each of us have our own mirrors.” They gestured around at the vast open space which made Sirius shiver. Or… should have made Sirius shiver. Every sense seemed slightly dulled, his head foggy. “So you’ll probably have one too, for… Remus, was it?” Sirius nodded, slightly dumbfounded. “Right, time works slightly differently here, so come with me. We’ll find your mirror and check on your person.”

“People.” Sirius answered, still refusing to think about it. There had to be a logical reason, there had to. “I have a- a godson, too.”

“Ah, okay. You get to decide who to watch and when. Come on.” They led him calmly down the stone, where the majority of the witches and wizards were staring down the intricately designed mirrors, a few who weren’t sat sharing stories. “What’s your name?” They asked.

“Uh… Sirius. Sirius Black.”

“Then this one’s yours.” They pointed, Sirius turning to an inky black and silver mirror. “I’m Amara. Go on, take a look.” Sirius turned, feeling much too out of it. For a moment, his own reflection stared back at him, finally seeing himself for the first time. His skin was just as greyed and textured as the rest of them, eyes completely devoid of light, and dark circles under his eyes.

Shit.

Still, as the mirror began to change, he decided against letting himself think about it. It swirled for a few moments, before settling on an image of a… graveyard? Sirius frowned, confused, as he stared at the image, eyes darting over the mass of gravestones until he realised who was at the centre and his stomach gave a terrifying lurch.

Remus.

“He’s…” Sirius wanted to go there. Amara gave a gentle tap on his shoulder.

“Step in. Go and see him.” They offered gently. He nodded, finally wanting to go and disprove all of this to himself. So, taking a deep breath, he forced his way inside. It was shockingly easy, a small ripple feeling like running his fingers gently over a pool of water. He shut his eyes as he went through, for some reason, opening them as the light gently hit him.

Remus was sat on his knees in front of a grave, one shaking hand reaching out to tap it, run his fingers across it. Sirius turned his head for a moment, everything in him standing on edge and freezing.

That was his name.

He stopped, panic overwhelming him. He was definitely on the fucking gravestone. Remus was sat at his grave, and the curse, the veil.

He had died.

He was fucking dead.

Dead.

D e a d -

Remus started to speak, voice grounding him the way it always did, making Sirius realising that he was on his knees beside Remus, able to see Remus’ stricken expression. The moment he saw it, everything else went forgotten, because Sirius could handle his pain, but not Remus’.

“I’m sorry.” He murmured softly, eyes sliding shut as he took a deep, shaking breath. “I’m- I’m so sorry. Sorry that you couldn’t be buried with James and Lily. Well, sorry that you couldn’t be buried, I guess. You just… you just disappeared, I don’t-“ his voice broke, pausing again, swallowing and pressing on, even though he really didn’t have to, Sirius’ heart had already shattered for him. “I’m sorry you don’t have a better headstone. That sounds stupid, but I remember your complaints when we were younger. It’s just- I had to fight the Ministry tooth and nail to even get you a fucking headstone, so everyone was overcharging. It- ah well, we got there in the end.” He tried with a weak smile, Sirius instinctively reaching out and resting his hand over Remus’, which was sitting on top of the headstone.

The sensation was faint, barely even there for Sirius, and he knew Remus couldn’t feel it at all, but it was a small comfort. He shut his eyes and forced himself to focus on the sensation, on Remus, because what if next time he tried he couldn’t feel anything at all? What if he-

“Fuck, we didn’t get enough time. We waited twelve years. Twelve bloody years. Merlin, the poets would love us. Still, I’d wait as long as it takes for just one more moment with you, my love.” The tears that had been steadily welling up in Remus’ eyes spilled over, Sirius feeling himself get choked up.

“Moony.” He forced out, moving his other free hand to rest on Remus’ cheek for a moment, a dull ache in his chest deepening. The tears ignored the intrusion, running straight past his hand, as Sirius hoped that all of that time before Azkaban, the moments that he remembered, would help him memorise this beautiful, beautiful man’s face. Everything started to fall out of Remus at this point, unable to stop any of it.

“Not seeing you again, though? Christ, Padfoot, I don’t think I can do it. Everything just seems pointless without you. If Harry wasn’t here, I wouldn’t see a reason to win this bloody war, not when it took you away from me, away from everybody. I mean, if I could trade places to keep you here, fuck, I would in a heartbeat. Because you light up the world, y’know that, love? It feels like someone’s just switched everything off, and now I’m stumbling through. Even Azkaban didn’t feel like this, because you were still here, in a way, and now…”

“I’m here, Moony, please, don’t cry, I’m right here.” Sirius begged, half with Remus and half with whatever the rules of the veil were to break just once and let him talk to Moony, say thank you, tell him he loves him just one more time-

“I’m sorry I didn’t see Bellatrix. I- I couldn’t stop her, I didn’t save you, I’m- I’m so sorry.” With that, he broke down completely, crumbling in front of the headstone, in front of Sirius. Sirius had heard Remus cry, multiple times, but this?

The sobs seemed to tear Remus just a little more each time, ripping through him and leaving him falling apart. Sirius could feel his own heart being ripped out with every one, guilt and anger at Bellatrix at war with the recent revelation that he was dead, and Moony was alone.

“You have saved me, darling, don’t you see that? You’ve saved me more than I thought anybody could.” Sirius tried, wishing more than anything that Remus could hear him. He was crying too, at this point, watching the man he loved more than anything, needed more than oxygen, who he had waited for so fucking long to be with have to be alone.

That’s when he felt himself start to slip away.

Something inside him knew that he was going back to the stone, back to staring through a screen and wanting more than anything to be back. Nothing was ever going to be the same, but if he could just exist alongside Remus forever, he would take it. No, he couldn’t, he was leaving.

“Fuck, no, not yet, please-“ he tightened his grip on Remus’ hand, the sensation ignoring this and getting weaker by the second. “Please, wait, I’m sorry, Moons, I don’t want to leave you-“ he ran his eyes desperately over Remus’ face. “I love you.” He whispered, before he was falling, spinning, landing back in the cold stone.

Remus was alone again.

rené

10102022, tomarry, T, @hp-fearfest – iv, pov: teddy, cw: vague descriptions of blood drinking and umm eavesdropping? and exactly one (1) evil baby

•

“Merlin, he’s hungry again. I wonder who he takes after … ouch! You little shark—”

A pained hiss, followed by a muttered, “Fine … go on then, help yourself,” and then small, wet gulps that sound a bit pixelated around the edges.

Teddy pauses the audio track, thinks he’s going to be sick.

He knows it’s wrong to listen in on, of all people, his godfather, but something’s decidedly off about that boy, Harry’s boy, and so far no one’s willing to take Teddy’s word for it.

Gran scoffs whenever he tries to bring it up.

Aunt Hermione just squints at him and, predictably, comes back some time later with a choice selection of noir novels.

Uncle Ron even goes so far as to tease him, says he’s ‘too old for sibling jealousy’.

They’re quick to dismiss him even though he’s rarely wrong about this kind of stuff – about people. He, or his wolf heart, can sense malice and disloyalty a mile off, and his instincts are to practically growl in the presence of this questionable addition to their family.

Dreading more to be proven right than anything else, Teddy resumes, clicks play.

“He is a bit of both of us, if you must know,” Harry continues, a rhythmic jolt to his voice as he rocks the child soothingly. “He’s got my hair, but his eyes are all yours. Turns red when he’s feeling grumpy. Anyway, I worry Hermione’s getting closer to the truth every time he—”

An interruption, but then Harry scoffs at whatever’s been suggested.

He retorts, “Tell her what, exactly? ‘By the way, ‘Mione, that’s not a regular human male baby you’re holding. René’s what happens when you accidentally leave a few soul pieces in a Limbo blender and fucking press blend—'”

Abruptly, he breaks off.

Staticky silence befalls the room as a bone-chill holds Teddy to the spot.

“… Six more months, give or take,” Harry sighs and goes on to answer some question the set of Extendable Ears doesn’t catch, “and then he’ll be stable enough to travel … well, no, I don’t need him to locate you. I know…”

Miraculously, then, Harry’s voice softens, a rare, tender hint of – of shyness – fraying his usual bluntness as he murmurs, “I know exactly where you are, Tom.”

•

🕯 big big thank you to @crazybutgood (as always) for being awesome

🍁 given that rené means to reborn ... i guess harry's gonna bring tom back from beyond the Veil as his trophy husband 👉🏼👈🏼

Hello everyone! I’m back for my (omg time flies) third yearly drarry rec list, in which I share with you my 30 favorite drarry fics I read in the year, divided in three parts. What a year 2020 was. It was challenging, scary and confusing, and it was also an amazing reading year for me, I read so, so much more than I ever had before, and I’m really excited to share these masterpieces with you! The banner art is by @dragontamerdame who is one of my favorite artists and was kind enough to let me use this beautiful piece, which you can (and totally should) reblog right here. Now, with nothing else to add and in no particular order, here’s my

FAVORITE FICS I READ IN 2020 PART ONE

1. Who we are in the shadows - @quicksilvermaid - 100k - E - What happens when you’re forced to become the very thing you despise? Ex-Auror Harry Potter, tossed out of the Ministry for something he had no control over, has been looking for a way back to his former life. When he comes across Draco Malfoy in the criminal underbelly of Wizarding London and in need of protection, Harry figures bringing him in to face the Ministry's justice is his ticket back to everything he's lost. But nothing is exactly as it seems. Not even Harry himself. And as he gets drawn further and further into Malfoy's world of honour and deception he finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew—about his childhood nemesis, the Ministry job he misses so much, and most of all, about himself. What happens when you’re forced to see that you were wrong?

THIS FIC!!! It was the first one I read in 2020, and it immediately became my favorite fic of the entire year, and one of my favorites of all time. I have since read it two more times, the entire 100k of it. There are absolutely no words to describe how amazing it is, how much it floored me to read their characterizations, their jobs and the roads life took them on to end up where they end up, the connection between them in a time when they don’t even know how to relate to anyone, their sorrow and struggles which, despite being so rooted in the magical world, are painfully human, just... wow. It’s a masterpiece. It changed the way I view their characters, forever, and I suspect I will read it many, many more times in the years to come. It’s that kind of story. If for whatever reason you haven’t read it, this is your sign to take that chance and embark on this amazing journey.

2. Every Kingdom - @thistle-verse - 7k - E - Every kingdom needs a prince. Every prince needs a good and useful knight. Draco and Harry play their parts and renegotiate some borders while they’re at it.

So, so lovely. Even though I don’t read them very often, alternate universes fascinate me so much, and I am in awe of the author for being able to pack so, so much story, so neatly into 7k words. This features a princely, lonesome Draco, a charming, golden Harry, and a blossoming love that could change everything. It’s beautiful, and I recommend it deeply.

3. The Bucket List - GallaPlacidia - 32k - Draco will die in six months if he can't get Harry Potter to fall in love with him. Since that's not going to happen, he might as well spend his last days working through his Bucket List. Tap-dancing lessons? Rock climbing? Poetry-writing? Threesomes? Cocaine? Getting to know his adorable cousin, Teddy Lupin? Draco will try them all! Feat. Cheerily pessimistic Draco, devoted bitch queen Pansy Parkinson, and a Harry who can't help but notice that something seems DIFFERENT about Draco, these days.

I’m positive that many, many of us got acquainted with GallaPlacidia’s writing this year, and I, too, fell in love with it. This story aches in the most beautiful of ways, the humor happens to be somehow light in such a difficult circumstance that it ends up hurting when you laugh, it hurts when everything is right because it’s also wrong, it aches when it’s supposed to be a happy moment and feels tender and sweet when it’s not. I can’t even imagine the challenge of writing this kind of story, and they pulled it off beautifully. It’s a lovely story, one you will take with you long after you finish it, and, personally, I think it’s a great introduction to the author’s writing.

4. halcyon days - @the-starryknight - 1.3k - T - Sleepy mornings caught while the sun rises are reserved for silly word games and soft touches and feelings.

Oh my god, the amount of tenderness in such a low wordcount made me weak in the knees. I almost couldn’t take it. Being able to convey such a deep emotional connection in a short story seems like such a daunting task, and the author makes it seem almost effortless. I guarantee that this will make you bring your hands to your chest and sigh with how lovely it is. Reading it will be the best ten minutes of your day.

5. Clouds That Veil the Midnight Moon - @drarrytrash - 37k - E - According to Harry’s personal narrative regarding the incident, he’d hooked up with Draco Malfoy for purely self-destructive reasons, or out of convenience, or by some unlucky accident. Looking at him, sprawled in the moonlight, Harry is devastated to recall that he’d hooked up with Draco Malfoy because he’s hot. Draco is a secret werewolf and Harry is doing his best and they've got criminals to catch, darn it.

Reading this, I found myself laughing out loud, nodding profusely with how freaking spot on the characterizations are. The dialogue is amazing, so hilarious and real and Harry’s inner monologue is so, so him. I love everything about this story. I have a soft spot for werewolf fic, and this one hit everything I love about it, the case is interesting and engaging, the incidental characters, the OCs, Ron and Hermione, everyone and everything is absolutely perfect and I had an absolute blast reading it. You HAVE to read this and see for yourself what I’m talking about.

6. Sex Ed for Aurors - curiouslyfic - 8k - M - Some things, you need to learn on the job.

Oh my god this is so freaking good. The premise is, basically, that Harry is accidentally doused with a lust potion while in the vicinity of Draco, and suddenly wants him more than anything. I loved this take on that trope, we’re in Harry’s head, and it’s absolutely hilarious and endearing to experience the near childish glee he feels whenever Draco looks his way, when he smiles, when he feels he’s made him happy, meanwhile Draco and Ron are horrified and doing whatever they can to correct it. This is so funny and such a good time, I can’t recommend it enough! While you’re at it, you should definitely read megyal’s remix of this, which is also a blast.

7. plasticine porters with looking-glass ties - @bonesliketambourines - 15K - E - Lately, Harry thinks things don’t seem the same between him and Draco. His head is in the clouds when he thinks about what their relationship is now, and where it might be headed—he’s happy with their friendship, but he wants something else. A potions accident over a lunchtime visit to Draco’s lab (what does he get up to in there, anyway?) changes things, though, and accelerates their relationship faster than either of them had ever expected. How are they going to get through this new development together?

Atmospheric, beautifully-written and delicious. Their relationship is tender, just on the edge of something more, when they’re forced to quarantine together and face the effects of a potion that makes them see and feel things differently, which makes for the most intense, visual, gorgeous sex scene I think I’ve ever read. It’s just absolutely phenomenal.

8. i wake up falling - warmfoothills - 9k - M - Draco’s always leaving, one way or another. Harry’s usually 240 thousand miles too late.

In trying to come up with a way to summarize this story, I’m feeling the overwhelming urge to cry again, just like I did when I read it. It’s just so, so, beautiful, every single word of it aches in the best way, the longing feels deeply authentic and just, the setting and the jobs and everything is so unique and gorgeous. Every single work by this author is beyond beautiful, but especially this one is incredibly close to my heart and I think everyone should read it. It’s a gem.

9. In Every Universe - @skeptiquewrites - 27k - M - They sent Professor Harry Potter to search for Unspeakable Draco Malfoy. Draco has stolen a Firebird, an experimental magical device from the Department of Mysteries that lets you enter parallel universes as yourself. As Harry traverses from universe to universe, he begins to think Draco might be the one searching for him. A story about whether knowing what's possible makes it possible.

Stories where the characters find themselves somehow hopping from one reality to another are always so, so fascinating to me, and this one is incredibly creative and well-written, so entertaining all around. The mystery of it kept me on my toes, and every single reality was a joy to read. 10/10

10. Life goes not backward - @shealwaysreads - 8k - T - Harry still isn’t used to gifts, but this one is different. A story of coming home, finding safe ground, and the wild courage of putting down roots. Leaving one life behind isn’t always a sacrifice, and sometimes the greatest good comes from embracing the people you love.

My god, there are not enough words to describe how much this story means to me, how beautiful it is, how every single time I’ve read it, I’ve cried. Bella has undoubtedly become one of my absolute favorite writers in fandom. She has such a way with words, there is not one of her stories that hasn’t touched me, that doesn’t feel like an actual, full-length novel no matter the word count. I read so many of them this year, so many of the masterpieces she’s gifted us, but this one especially is so tender, so dear, that I ended up choosing it as my favorite of hers this year. Harry’s charactertization, the unbelievable warmth of their relationship, absolutely everything about this is gorgeous. Go read it, right now, and then binge all her other works!! You won’t regret it.

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

Each of these fics is incredibly close to my heart and I enjoyed them immensely. In the midst of everything changing, I really found comfort and solace in the amazing works of the people of this fandom. I hope they give you the same amount of warmth and comfort they gave me, and I’m ALWAYS here to gush about any of them ❤️ Happy New Year!

Hello! I've been suffering from the worst case of January blues. Do you happen to have any recs for light and fun and feel-good fics? Bonus points if they're smutty too. Thanks ❤️

Hello darling! I feel you on those January blues, it’s been a slow start for me too. I hope these will help, they never fail to make me smile and always leave me warm and fuzzy afterwards :)

Sun Stroke by @peachpety (2020, E, 3.8k)

Draco, Harry, and a handful of friends take a summer holiday at the beach. With the help of a sultry sea setting, encouraging friends, and a fisherman’s jumper, Harry and Draco's mutual attraction swells and things get hot on a salty summer night.

(Un)Calculated Risk by @l0vegl0wsinthedark (2017, E, 7k)

He thought about the way Harry looked at him, smiled at him; about the way Draco’s head was nearly always full of him, all day every day, and about the way Draco sometimes deliberately went to bed still smelling of him, refusing to acknowledge what it meant – because he already fucking knew what it meant. What all of it meant. And then Draco decided, fuck it, he was going to risk it. They were going to risk it together, Harry and Draco.

Play Dates by @bixgirl1 (2017, E, 7.7k)

Harry never thought seeing Malfoy as a dad would affect him this way.

Born Slippy by @dracoladon (2020, E, 8k)

Harry finds that it's less 'one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor' and more 'one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, decide Malfoy's quite fit, actually, and decent company after your friends traitorous abandonment, floor.' With Malfoy lying next to you.

check this hand 'cause I'm marvelous by @lqtraintracks (2014, E, 8k)

Harry's had a crush on Malfoy for months now. But it will take a bar full of his friends, some Firewhisky, wagers made on his behalf, and Malfoy himself to get him to act on it.

Sex Ed for Aurors by curiouslyfic (2010, M, 8.7k)

Some things, you need to learn on the job.

The Full Monty by @magpiefngrl (2017, E, 9.8k)

Harry poses for a naked Auror calendar and Draco goes batshit crazy with lust.

Aural Gratification by birdsofshore (2014, E, 10k)

Harry's not gay – he just likes listening to exciting stories about Aurors. It's not his fault that the narrator's voice is so smooth, so expressive... and really rather hot. Career choices: Harry: Ministry of Magic desk job; Draco: m/m romance narrator

Sweet Indulgence by @the-sinking-ship (2020, E, 10k)

It doesn't matter that Marcy from Accounting is dancing on the tables, Shacklebolt is wearing antlers, and Elliot from Transportation is on his third round of Mariah Carey on karaoke because all the free champagne in the world won't salvage the Ministry Christmas party for Draco if Potter doesn't show up soon.

Title of Their Sex Tape by @cibeewastaken (2020, T, 12k)

What are the Wizarding world's most elite law enforcers doing when they aren't catching criminals? It seems Auror Malfoy is often caught throwing food into Auror Potter's mouth when he's mid-yawn. This story isn't about Draco throwing food at Harry. What it does have is: Undercover! Heists! Draco pining for Harry! Harry being oblivious, but also can't help noticing how good Draco smells! Banters and jokes! That's about it.

Kill, Fuck, Marry by @lettersbyelise (2018, E, 12.6k)

Malfoy leans toward him with a baleful look. “I do believe Pansy Parkinson, my best friend, paid you to spend the evening with me. It’s my birthday, Potter. So you’re going to get off your Gryffindor arse, and you’re going to dance with me. I want to dance. I want to win. I want that bloody trophy on my shelf before the end of the night.”

Harry and Draco unexpectedly meet again on Draco’s birthday, years after their last encounter.

An Act of Kindness for One Harry Potter by a Sympathetic Draco Malfoy by 0idontknow0 (2014, E, 15k)

As Draco leaned on the wall to wait for them to get dressed, he could not help feeling like he had done a very kind thing by disrupting them. Someone should give Potter a better rogering than that sorry sod had. The man had saved the bloody world—okay, mostly Europe—the least someone could do was give him a proper shag.

Reparatio by astolat (2016, E, 17k)

Draco snorted. “I’m not reduced to penury. I want something considerably beyond money, and I rather think you’re the only one can give it to me.”

“You want the Invisibility Cloak,” Harry said, flatly. He’d half expected as much; it was the only thing he had that Draco could want—

“Don’t be stupid, Potter,” Draco said. “I want my reputation back.”

amid this warm and steady sweetness by warmfoothills (2019, E, 21k)

Harry is not living in a period drama, no matter what his friends or his new house or Malfoy’s sudden affinity for horse-riding might suggest, and if one more person uses the word courting, he’s going to start hexing people.

Clouds That Veil the Midnight Moon by @drarrytrash (2020, E, 36k)

According to Harry’s personal narrative regarding the incident, he’d hooked up with Draco Malfoy for purely self-destructive reasons, or out of convenience, or by some unlucky accident. Looking at him, sprawled in the moonlight, Harry is devastated to recall that he’d hooked up with Draco Malfoy because he’s hot. Draco is a secret werewolf and Harry is doing his best and they've got criminals to catch, darn it.

The Four Ds of Apparition (or: Destination, Determination, Deliberation, and Dicks) by @eidheann and @firethesound (2015, E, 36k)

After transferring to the Apparition Department, Harry's life becomes one big dick joke. And all his friends are arseholes. So is Malfoy, but what else is new? AKA Harry Potter and the eighteen twenty dicks.

Bonus: sometimes art is the easiest way to make us smile and unwind! I can’t rec these beautiful comics enough, they’re among my favorite feel-good Drarry content:

Think about it, alright? by @caroll-in (2020, G)

Fed up with all the pining, Harry's friends decide to do a little "intervention". Meanwhile, Draco's friends have a similar idea.

Advent by dustmouth (2020, T)

It's Harry and Draco's first Christmas together and Draco is determined to live his full yuletide fantasy, come hell or high water.

Note

imagine being apart of the marauders (or at least close friends with them)

wrote this running on 0 hours of sleep so I’ll be editing soon

running into them during one of their pranks in third year

them thinking you were going to rat them out

but instead you lectured them about how idiotic their plan was then told them how they could’ve done better

them being quite shocked

slowly becoming friends

would definitely prank you

because they just wanted to see what you’d do as payback so they could get a few new ideas since they were running out

them seeing you as their little sister by the end of third year

a vast majority of the school thinking you’re dating all three of them

you’re not, of course

but that doesn’t stop people from thinking so

so you guys just ignore them

if they keep bothering you James and Sirius would probably hex them

or the four of them would prank them

or both

being very protective of you when another student starts getting a little too close or stares for a little too long

“I don’t need to be babied!”

“Shut up, do you want some chocolate?”

oh and speaking of chocolate

they know how to help you through your periods

lots of blankets for cuddling

having an almost endless supply of chocolates, candies and whatever else you may want

Remus helping you study and recommending new books he thinks you might enjoy

“Hey (Y/N), have you read this book yet? I just finished it and it’s really good, you should read it sometime.”

eventually he’d just stop asking and just place it on your bed along with some chocolate

the Marauders not letting you go with them on full nights

them also being scared to tell you at first, especially Remus

but you didn’t really mind

so while they were out on the full moon, you’d be sneaking around the castle getting as much food as possible

Sirius coming to you for advice

letting his walls down whenever he was around you

platonic cuddles!

lots and lots of platonic cuddling

James would be the most protective over you

he’s already the mother hen of the Marauders

but with you?

oh boy

just goes full protection mode

sometimes he can be a little too much

but it’s just because he doesn’t want to see you get hurt

by anyone

will punch someone who looks at you wrong with no hesitation

Peter sneaking around the school with you late at night when you’re bored

often sneaks food to you when you’re hungry in class

when James and Lily started talking at the end of sixth year she’s undeniably jealous of you

she thinks you like him and her smile instantly drops when you’re near

because she’d enter the Gryffidnor Common Room to look for James

only to see him laying on the couch with his head in your lap while you hummed a song, eyes glued to your book

she’d just turn around then ignore him for the next week

that is until seventh year starts

and the two of you are paired together for Potions

it was awkward at first

she’d flash you a convincing smile

though not convincing enough

and you just politely smiled back

but 10 minutes in and Professor Slughorn says something

you quietly mock him under your breathe thinking no one would hear you

but Lily did and she almost got kicked out of class for laughing

and that was the beginning of your friendship with Lily Evans

the boys were very confused a week later when they saw you walk towards her and instead of frowning she pulled you into a hug ?

“When did this happen?”

“Potions.”

helping James ask her out

helping Lily realize her feelings for James

being the one both of them would come to for relationship advice

Jily finally becoming an official couple

going to the Potters for the Christmas holidays

getting a little too drunk in his basement which resulted in everyone passing out

you woke up in Sirius’ arms on the couch

Lily with James’ head on her lap on the opposite side of the couch

Remus had pushed two arm chairs together to sleep

(he was also the most sober one and placed blankets on all of you before going to sleep himself )

Peter was sprawled on the ground

joining The Order right after graduating

you and Sirius being named godparents after Harry is born

the two of spoiled the child beyond belief

then Voldemort happens and whatever

Sirius is wrongfully imprisoned because Pettigrew’s a pussy

you gain custody of Harry James Potter

and though Remus tried to get joint custody and it didn’t work, he often visited and helped you raise Harry

you knew Sirius didn’t kill Pettigrew

Remus, however, did not

you’d still tell Harry about Sirius though because he’s his godfather

time skip to when Sirius escapes Azkaban but instead of staying at 12 Grimmauld Place, he stays at yours

a fairly large house in a Muggle community

Sirius being so happy to finally see you, Remus and Harry again

but then old Voldy comes back again

Battle of the Department of Mysteries happens

and while Remus was holding Harry back from running through the veil with Sirius

you were chasing after Bellatrix

successfully using crucio on her

only stopping when you realized Harry - and his friends - were watching

though they understood and didn’t judge

you broke down that night

and when Harry came the next night the two of you ate dinner in silence

time skip again lmao to Battle of Hogwarts

Tonks and Remus die

you being the last Marauder alive

and being the only one able to grow old with your family

“(Y/N) is most likely to outlive us all.” You remembered James saying one night in the Gryffidnor Common Room

“Why must you always be right, Potter?”

naming your kids after the Marauders

also being the only one to die of old age

though when you woke up one day you noticed you were 17 again and quite scared because what the hell was happened

and you seemed to be in your old dorm back at Hogwarts

then you realized

“Took you long enough.”

A/N: If you don’t understand the ending, reader died (naturally in their sleep) and one (or all) of the Marauders said that last line (you can imagine whoever you’d like)

Taglist (there’s bits of Sirius Black x Platonic!Reader so this counts right?): @jellybeanduck99 @coldlilheart @strangerpilot011 @bravelyparker @emmaloo21 @lozzybowe @jjklefttoe @kamilantya (couldn’t tag you for some reason, sorry)

Proof that Dumbledore planned Harry's traumatic childhood. (Part 8)

IV. The Aftermath’s Effects on Remus

H. It angers me to think that Remus was alone and poor for 12 years. 12 years he spent full moons alone, mourning the loss of his friends, HIS PACK.

I. And then Dumbledoer shows up and offers him the Defense Against the Dark Arts position. Why now? Why had he never approached him before?

1. Enter: Sirius Black’s Escape from Azkaban

2. Dumbledore knows the boys were close in school, the old man isn’t blind. He knows that they were all best friends and would do anything for each other.

3. So he brings Remus in to keep an eye on him. Sure, he trusts Remus, but what if. Just what if, he was still loyal to Sirius after all these years.

4. He tempts Remus, offering the Wolfsbane potion, three meals a day, pay, and living quarters; a hell of a lot more than he’s had for the past 12 years.

5. And if he name drops Harry, knowing what he means to Remus, well… For the greater good, right?

J. So Remus comes to teach at Hogwarts. He loves his job, he loves putting smiles on these kid’s faces and showing them how special an education is.

K. But then Sirius breaks into the castle not once, but twice. He finds Harry with the Marauder’s Map. Harry asks him for extra help producing a Patronus charm.

1. (He listens to Harry talk about his parents’ dying words. He sees Harry cast a patronus that greatly resembles the magnificent stag he used to watch James turn into).

L. And then Peter Pettigrew shows up on the map .

1. He goes down to his old haunt, the Shrieking Shack. Finds Sirius, Peter gets away, is forced into resigning (by a man with a grudge) from the only job he’s ever really loved.

M. And now he’s alone again. No friends (though he now knows Sirius is innocent), no consistent pay, no idea what the hell to do.

N. And then two years later he watches as Sirius falls through the veil and holds Harry back as he screams for the godfather he barely got to know.

O. He marries, he has a kid, he tries to abandon him because he’s terrified! He watched James and Lily go through having an unplanned child and look how they turned up! He tries to join Harry on the horcrux hunt, but 17 year old Harry, wise beyond the years he has under his belt, forces him to stay behind.

P. He goes to Hogwarts for the fight of his life and dies beside his wife and the mother of his child.

Q. He died indebted to Albus Dumbledore, who gave him education and a job. And all he did in return was go on a few werewolf missions during the First War.

R. All for the greater good though… right?

S. (sorry i get really worked up about remus lupin and sirius black)

Writings Masterlist

So, with the amazing help of @ermynee – ana, for who met her on Discord! – I’ve updated and renewed my writings masterlist!

You can find it linked at the top of my blog alongside the ask and the archive buttons, but since that link is only accessible from browser, I thought about sharing it on a post as well, which I’ll tag with “writing masterlist” for easy finding ^^ Edit: I've just realised that the post a bit messy if seen from the app, but whatever, the links are there ;)

Anyway, you can find all the stories and series on my Ao3 page as well ;)

Featuring: Harry Potter

As though by a mother: Voldemort is back, and Harry keeps revisiting the graveyard in his nightmares.

A new beginning: While Ron and Hermione are in Australia, Neville and Harry are about to begin their career as Aurors, the raw memories of the battle still fresh in their minds, among some happy thoughts.

Next Generation

Letter for beyond: It’s time to go to bed at the Potters’ house. This evening, though, instead of picking a bedtime story Lily wants to read to her father a letter for another Lily, one she’s never even met.

‘Godfather and Godson’ series (see below)

Silliness of love (see Hinny)

‘Godfather and Godson’ series

Features of the past: In the middle of the night, Teddy seeks the comfort offered by a surrogate of the Mirror of Erised.

What parents would want: Teddy is about to leave for his first year at Hogwarts, but he can’t clear his mind from an uncomfortable thought

Hinny

Extra – Souls of Ink: Now, though, there was something she couldn’t talk about with any of her brothers. Or better, someone. {Ginny Weasley & Tom Riddle’s diary}

[NSFW] Fantasies: Harry can’t stop dreaming about Ginny. {HBP Missing Moment – PWP – Explicit Language}

Letter for beyond (see above)

Silliness of love: Nineteen years later, James and Al have just left for Hogwarts, and the least Harry can do to cheer Lily up is having someone over for dinner. Ch 1 – Ch 2 – Ch 3

Better than fireworks: It’s going to be his first Christmas without the Dursleys, and Harry can’t express how grateful he is for Ron inviting him to the Burrow. The fact that Ginny will be there too is just a very welcomed addition. {Muggle AU – Hinny Incognito Elf 2019}

Featuring: Neville Longbottom

Of Malus, hugs, and toads {‘Letters from Hogwarts’ series}: For more than a thousand years, every summer, in the United Kingdom, the lives of a lucky cluster of eleven years old are radically changed. The first story is that of a boy who lived for too long in the belief that he wasn’t a wizard.

Worth twelve: Neville Longbottom, esteemed member of the D.A. and beloved professor at Hogwarts, is at home for the Christmas break. While his wife Hannah takes care of the patrons of the Leaky Cauldron, Neville is able to enjoy some alone time with his sweet daughter. They’re happily playing when she suddenly gets upset, and Neville will have to use all his tact, a clumsy Transfiguration attempt, a story, an old Chocolate Frog Card and a confession to understand what’s the problem and to make her feel better.

‘Have a biscuit’ series

“Do you happen to have a biscuit?”: When and why did Minerva start keeping a tin of Ginger Newt in her office? This is the brief story of how it all began. {A prequel}

Falling down: It’s the morning after the Third Task, and Neville has been summoned by McGonagall. He goes there worried about his marks, having no idea he’s about to find out that he lived for a year near the man who tortured his parents into insanity.

Standing up: Minerva is powerless in front of Carrows’ tortures, painfully aware there’s only one way to protect her students: don’t protect them. She also knows that, if Dumbledore was still alive, nothing like that would happen, and she can’t help thinking she failed her most important duty: to keep Hogwarts safe… to keep Hogwarts home. It will be her own students to prove her that hope isn’t lost yet.

Moving on: It’s the summer after the war, and Minerva invites Neville for tea. He goes there sure she just wants to know how he’s doing, unaware that she’s about to change his life.

‘Drooble’s Best Blowing Gum’ series

The first DBBG: Voldemort has fallen, and the Wizarding World can celebrate and relax, safe. Augusta can’t believe her luck: despite actively fighting, all her family escaped the horrors of the war, and Alice and Frank can finally raise their child in a peaceful world…

The sweetest DBBG: Two old women, strong and stern. Two short letters, one written almost seven year before the other. Two boys, one fearful and goofy, the other fearless and fierce. Yet, they are both known as Neville Longbottom.

The merriest DBBG: When the news of Voldemort’s ultimate defeat reaches St Mungo, the Healers celebrate with joy and fireworks. Although, not all the patients are able to understand what’s really happening.

The last DBBG: Alice Longbottom’s life is hard to be considered so. Yet, at her death Neville won’t be able to hold back his tears: despite everything, he very well knows he’ll miss her deeply.

Featuring: Hermione Granger

Of Matilda, War and Peace: {‘Letters from Hogwarts’ series}: For more than a thousand years, every summer, in the United Kingdom, the lives of a lucky cluster of eleven years old are radically changed. The fourth is that of a girl rational enough to know she was special, but too rational to admit it.

Deluded hopes: Hermione has the best friends she could wish for, the ones she shared the most intense and dangerous moments of her life with, the ones that watch her back, the ones that would be ready to die for her — the ones she’d be ready to die for. She’d never, never switch them with anybody, and yet, sometimes she can’t help be a little envious of Parvati and Lavender friendship, of their long chats shared in the dark of the night before falling asleep. {Quadruple drabble}

Dazzling illusion: Voldemort has fallen. For many wizards and witches is time to live again, while others are still licking their wounds, picking up the debris, grieving the fallen ones. For Hermione, it’s time to find her parents and abruptly drag them back into reality.

Night in Transylvania: Young Kate Stendeer is a capable and appreciated teacher. Many years have gone by since the day she asked her students to read Night in Transylvania, and she still regrets it. That was the day she saw pure disappointment in the eyes of the brightest student she had ever had… That was the last time she had ever seen her. Perhaps, crossing paths with the Wizarding World will finally ease her guilt.

Romione

Until it’s over: Hermione looked up at him, surprised, but incapable to hold back a smile. Maybe he had listened when she’d said that next time there was a ball, he should have asked her before someone else did, and not as a last resort. Or, the brief story of a whispered promise made during a long due dance.

Standing on tiptoe: May the 2nd, 1998. The battle is over, and after Harry’s tales about the last events that brought to Voldemort’s defeat, the trio leave the Headmaster’s office, headed to Gryffindor Tower. Despite being exhausted, there’s one thing Ron needs to do before resting.

Extra – Night in Transylvania (see above)

Silliness of love: Nineteen years later, James and Al have just left for Hogwarts, and the least Harry can do to cheer Lily up is having someone over for dinner. Ch 1 – Ch 2 – Ch 3

Featuring: Minerva McGonagall

The right call: What if Minerva had something to object about not picking Harry as Gryffindor Prefect? And what if the last time she and Albus argued about an appointment there was another Potter involved, and Albus had been the one vouching for him?

Beyond the Veil: What if Minerva, in a coma at St. Mungo’s after being Stunned by four spells, had the chance to choose between staying or coming back – between living and dying – as Harry did in King’s Cross?

‘Have a biscuit’ series (see ‘Neville Longbottom’)

“Do you happen to have a biscuit?”

Falling down

Standing up

Moving on

Featuring: Albus Dumbledore

Of boggarts, Gobstones and cypress {Letters from Hogwarts – Remus}: For more than a thousand years, every summer, in the United Kingdom, the lives of a lucky cluster of eleven years old are radically changed. The third story tells us of a child whose life had already changed when he was five years old, and who didn’t believe it could change again.

How it happened that Dumbledore convinced Snape to keep it quiet: Have you ever wondered why Severus, young Hogwarts student, didn’t reveal Remus’ true nature after finding it out because of Sirius’ trick? Well, for a long time I took for granted it was simply because Dumbledore asked him not to. Then, I realised the truth.

The most valuable gift: That Halloween, that terrible Halloween is close. Dumbledore is at the Potter’s, and James shows him something the old wizard can’t help but recognise, even if it’s been decades since he stopped looking for that extraordinary triad of magical objects.

Bounty hunter {Dumbledore asks Remus to be the DADA teacher.}

Balls of wool: Dobby couldn’t have gotten him a more fitting gift.

The irony of life: Oh, the irony of life. How amusing, exquisite and cruel it can be. {Second drabble of the collection}

A pig for slaughter: Lying has never been so hard. {Drabble}

Marauders Era

“Do you happen to have a biscuit?”: When and why did Minerva start keeping a tin of Ginger Newt in her office? This is the brief story of how it all began. {A prequel of the ‘Have a biscuit’ series – see above} {James, Sirius, Minerva}

Farewell, Hogwarts: End of term, 1978. For James, Sirius, Remus, Lily and Severus it’s time to say goodbye. They look at Hogwarts for what they believe is their last time, unaware that three of them will cross its gate again. Unaware that two of them won’t live much longer…

Beyond the Veil: What if Minerva, in a coma at St.Mungo after being Stunned by four spells, had the chance to choose between staying or coming back – between living and dying – as Harry did in King’s Cross? {James, Sirius, Minerva}

Once upon a time: “Once upon a time… It’s a discounted – or should we say classic? – begin for a fairy tale that even more obviously ends with the merry end ‘…and they lived happily ever after.’ But for what ‘once upon a time’ could be more suited than for telling a tale about things that were, things that had been, things that are no more? To tell a story – no, not a fairy tale – that could never end with ‘…and they lived happily ever after’?”

Jily

The first (and last) Dursley-Evans-Potter double date

Farewell, Hogwarts

Extra – The right call (see ‘McGonagall’ and ‘Dumbledore’)

Remus Lupin

Of boggarts, Gobstones and cypress {‘Letters from Hogwarts’ series}: For more than a thousand years, every summer, in the United Kingdom, the lives of a lucky cluster of eleven years old are radically changed. The third story tells us of a child whose life had already changed when he was five years old, and who didn’t believe it could change again.

Corroded by fate: November 1981. For the first time in his entire life, Remus looks forward to the full moon. Perhaps the agony of the transformation will wash away the ache for their loss, perhaps the madness of the wolf will make him forget that his best friends are two corpses, a traitor and a fistful of dust. {Drabble}

Bounty Hunter {Dumbledore asks Remus to be the DADA teacher}

And yet it tastes good: Victory’ll taste good, they’d promised. And yet, Remus can’t help thinking that war tasted better than Victory

Sirius Black

Whatever: Whatever, Sirius. How hard can it be enduring the pain that pierces your heart for a kiss shared in the dark? {Sirius/James – Sirius is secretly in love}

Beyond the Veil

Silence {Sirius finds the Potters’ corpses – Drabble}

Like yesterday {The dangerous criminal Sirius Black gets into the castle during the Halloween’s feast – Ficlet}

Make a wish {Sirius birthday in 1980 – Double drabble}

October 31st

With the tail between his legs {Voldemort finds the Potters – Double drabble}

Silence

Like yesterday

Extra – November the 3rd – Make a wish

Severus Snape

Asphodel, bezoar and aconite: It’s Harry Potter’s first Potions Class, and Severus can’t help looking at him, hating his unruly black hair – then, he sees his eyes.

One who I believe has left me forever… {‘Burns’, Drabble 2 – see ‘Featuring Death Eaters}

The irony of life: Oh, the irony of life. How amusing, exquisite and cruel it can be. {Third drabble of the collection}

Featuring: Death Eaters

Burns {because the Dark Lord is back}: A collection of drabbles to recount in about a hundred words the myriad of emotions – fear, joy, fervor, horror – that caught certain Death Eaters in the instant the Dark Lord laid a finger on Wormtail’s Dark Mark, and after almost fifteen years of silence they learned he was back. Each drabble has a different Death Eater as protagonist. Burning, of course, is the Dark Mark. Ch 1 - Ch 2 - Ch 3 - Ch 4 - Ch 5

Petty, pathetic Draco: A journey through Draco’s thoughts and emotions, since the Dark Lord demanded his service to the end of the war.

Sisterhood [Ch 1: Childless; Ch 2: Mother]: Two sisters, two Blacks. One is dark-haired, the other is blonde, but it doesn’t matter. One is childless, the other is a mother. And that’s what makes all the difference.

The irony of life: Oh, the irony of life. How amusing, exquisite and cruel it can be. {Drabble one: Crouch Jr – Drabble three: Snape}

Severus Snape: see above

Miscellaneous

Souls of Ink: Now, though, there was something she couldn’t talk about with any of her brothers. Or better, someone. {Ginny Weasley & Tom Riddle}

Caged: Three Christmases, three cages, three frames of mind. A short journey through Percy’s thoughts, since he left the Burrow to the moment he wished he’d never left. {Ficlet}

Hidden Characters: Seven unrelated drabbles, seven mysterious characters. Will less than one-hundred words be enough for you to guess? {Test your intuition and your knowledge of the saga in a guessing game!}

The irony of life: Oh, the irony of life. How amusing, exquisite and cruel it can be. {Drabble collection}

Touch: A collection of random drabbles with only one thing in common – touch.

The time of Death: Thousand are the facets of Death: for someone it lasts an instant, for others an eternity; for someone it’s a choice, for others an unforeseen surprise. Only one thing is certain: Death will come for everybody. Link 1 – Link 2 {Drabbles}

Rainbow: A drabble for the dreamy Luna, with her her clear honesty and disarming simplicity. {Drabble}

Midnight tea: It was the first time he made tea. It was his first act of kindness. {Dudley Dursley – Drabble}

It’s a lifetime service or death: A drabble for the heroic death of a lion, a drabble for the vile death of a rabbit. {Drabble}

Seven hot wheels: {Meanwhile, in Gaddley, a Muggle family of five has been found dead in their home. Muggle authorities are attributing their deaths to a gas leak, but members of the Order of the Phoenix inform me that it was the Killing Curse. - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows} – Because Muggles deserve to be remembered too. {Drabble}

‘Letters from Hogwarts’ series

For more than a thousand years, every summer, in the United Kingdom, the lives of a lucky cluster of eleven years old are radically changed. These are the stories of four of them. The first is that of a boy who lived for too long in the belief that he wasn’t a wizard, the second that of a boy who lived for too long under the illusion of being one. The third tells us of a child whose life had already changed when he was five years old, and who didn’t believe it could change again. The fourth and longest story, at last, is that of a girl rational enough to know she was special, but too rational to admit it.

Of Malus, hugs, and toads

Of missives, felines and promises

Of boggarts, Gobstones and cypress

Of Matilda, War and Peace

Extra – Night in Transylvania

May the 2nd 1998

Forgotten fighters: Few words are enough to bare the soul of a centaur – few words, to make him master of his own fate, to make him part of a strenuous fight for salvation. Few words are also enough to describe the helplessness of a gargoyle, the braveness of a knight, the fury of a little giant and the thoughts of many other characters whose effort we often forget about – wrongly so. After all, even a single grain of rice can tip the scale. {Collection of drabbles}

The aftermath: Perhaps May the 2nd 1998 seemed a day like any other to those who hadn’t been at Hogwarts to fight the last, decisive battle. Then the news of the victory and the name of the fallen began spreading and – for better or worse – it suddenly became a day impossible to forget. Ch 1 – The Prime Minister

Unfinished sentences: The war is ended, leaving havoc behind. Wounds and walls can be mended – lives can’t. {Drabble}

“Finally, Took You Two Long Enough!”

Pairing: Harry Hook x Reader

Word Count: 3,172 (OOF I went overboard)

A/N: This took me a week to write and I really don’t like it! Figures, huh? Anyway, hope you guys enjoy! This imagine took up 8 PAGES in Word in size 11 font!

“”

"Again, Y/N! We're not stopping until you perfect this move!" Uma barks. Being a part of Uma's crew means near endless training drills. No matter the weather; no matter how much your body aches. Take now for instance, the sun is beating down heavily on you and you have a weary feeling in your bones; yet you still cannot stop. Training for the day you finally leave the Isle and take down those soppy, pastel royals in Auradon. Being the child of Hans, you have been raised wielding swords and concocting ambitious schemes - it's why you are in Uma's inner circle. But there's still more to reach for, chances to make yourself a better player in this game and so, you train. Preparing yourself to one day take over Arandelle, rule the Southern Isles and complete your father's legacy. You run through the move again, head pounding from being under the sun for so long. Although these training drills may be tedious, you cannot deny that they have helped you improve your skills. Especially as your father has little time for you these days - meaning no more sword lessons like when you were younger. "Alright that's enough. Wrap it up guys." Uma shouts, prompting the crew to drift away to their tasks. Soon enough, Harry is by your side. Twirling his hook in his hand, he motions for you to start on your patrol. Uma has designated you both to collect money due to the fact that you are both, according to the other residents of the Isle, terrifying. Pairing Harry's fragile emotions with your near lack of them does seem to have that effect, especially as you seem to be the opposites of each other. But you know what they say: opposites attract. "Are you ready, lass?" Wiping you head, you nod. "Just let me grab a drink and I'll be ready."

"" Your patrol of the Isle had been nothing more than standard. The usual low-lifes existing at the edge of your vision and Harry Hook, one of your best mates, parrotting in his usual chatter. You do feel guilty to admit it, but there is a part of you that isn't listening - your mind is too focused on your father, knowing that he is cooking some hare-brained scheme that you'll soon have to be involved in. "Are you even listening to me, Y/N?" He pipes up, looking over to you. You sigh, brushing a lock of hair behind your ear. "Honestly, Harry? Not really." He stops you. Taking your wrists in his hands with a feather-light touch, he asks: "What's wrong then lass? Is there something on your mind?" "It's nothing new, just Hans again." You avoid calling father at all costs. He doesn't like the title and neither do you. Harry nods in understanding. Not one parent of the Isle cares about their child: so parent trouble isn't a rare problem. Nearly everyone can relate. "He's spending more time scheming, training his men... it's worrying. I mean, he has always been planning and preparing to leave the Isle but it just seems more serious this time? I don't know Harry, it's probably nothing." You both continue walking; the pair of you frowning in thought. "Well, you know Y/N that you're apart of our family now. You don't need him. You could come live on the ship. With me." Turning to Harry, you see him biting his lip - unusually nervous for your suave friend. "What do you mean Harry? There's not anymore space on the ship. What am I meant to do? Sleep in the crow's nest?" You smile tightly, wishing - hoping - that he means something else. Something that would mean more than just friendship. "Well I didn't mean that lass, obviously." he mutters, now avoiding your gaze. Stopping outside 'Curl up and Dye', Harry turns back to you and gestures to the shop's sign. "Shall we just collect the money, Y/N? Get this chore over and done with?" You can't help but be stung. Along with Gil and Uma, Harry is one of the only people you've ever trusted. Not even your own father is one of those. Yet, he writes off spending time together as a chore? Feeling your lips start to thin, as you wince at his words, you simply gesture for him to go ahead. "Might as well. After you, Harry." You follow him through the door, remaining slightly behind him as walks into the salon. "Fork it over ya runt." You hear him say to young Dizzy. But your attention isn't on the young child - it's on the figure that you haven't seen for a long while: Mal. Enemy of Uma and, by extension, yourself. While Harry taps the various knickknacks, asking for the rest of the money, you watch Mal as she calculates the situation. It's easy to see how she was once friends with Uma, they're very much alike - too alike. Taking the money with ease, Harry sarcastically thanks Dizzy and begins to leave. Stopping just in front of you as his old flame speaks up: "Still running errands for Uma? Or do you actually get to keep what you steal?" You grit your teeth as he begins to smirk. While he spins around to face her, you glare daggers into her. It's just like Mal to come running back after being given the world; given the dream that you had always wanted. She has never known when to stop. "Well, well, well what a surprise." Harry drawls, arms outstretched. "Look who decided to come back, Y/N." "Hello, Mal." You smirk, standing beside Harry, wiggling your fingers in a mock wave. "Hi Harry, hi Y/N." Mal monotones, chewing her gum obnoxiously. "Just wait till Uma finds out you're back!" Harry exclaims, growing ever closer to Mal. "She's never going to give you back your old territory." From behind him you smirk, meeting Mal's eyes. You may not like the girl, but you can respect her. It takes a cunning mind and a cold heart to rise to the top on the Isle; that you can understand. Perhaps in a different life, a different set of circumstances, you could've been friends. But for now, you're enemies and Mal is certainly one you do not want to underestimate. Not in the slightest. "Oh, that's okay. Because I will be taking it." She says nonchalantly, causing the pair of you to smirk. "Nothing like a good old bit of game talk." You say, licking your lips in anticipation of the struggle. This was just what you need. A bit of fun, a struggle; some violence. Life on the Isle has gotten boring without the power struggles - sure other rival gangs try to wrestle power from Uma and her crew, but none could even come close to Mal and the other 'core' VKs. "I could hurt you." Harry drawls, running his hook through her newly-styled hair. Slapping his hook away, she places her gum on the end of it. Causing you pinch your face in disgust. While the Isle is disgusting, that was too much for you. Harry doesn't seem overly bothered, merely placing it in his mouth. You feel your stomach turn and yourself grimace at Harry. Now that is disgusting. "Not without a permission, I bet." Mal drawls in response. Harry smiles, a strained smile knowing that Mal is right, before knocking random items off the table in thinly-veiled frustration. With a bow, he pushes his way out of the shop; leaving you with Mal and Dizzy. "Dizzy." You nod farewell to the girl, "See you around Mal." Your smirk falls into a sneer. Then, turning on your heel, you follow Harry out the door. "Well, things just got interesting." You say, catching up to Harry. "They sure have Y/N. They sure have." "Let's go tell Uma." You say, smirking alongside you friend. "" The ship is packed. Armed to the teeth with pirates, biding their time before Mal and the other VKs arrive; giving a chance for your leader to finally come out on top. While Harry torments King Ben, you stand beside Uma; gazing outwards to the shoreline of Auradon. "I want to get there, Uma. I want to tear down their pretty, perfect world so bad." You spit, drumming your fingers along the ship's rail. "I know, Y/N. We're so close now." She replies, a slight smirk playing around the corners of her lips. "So close that I can taste it." "She's not going to play fair though, Uma." You continue. "She has everything to loose and if I was her, I wouldn't put everything on the line for a boy and a bargain." "Not even for Harry?" She raises her eyebrow at you. Your head shoots around to face her. "What do you mean? Not even for Harry? He's a friend, not anything more." "Oh please, Y/N he likes you! And not in the way he likes me or Gil." She places her hand on yours; smiling encouragingly. You shake your head, feeling crestfallen. "You're wrong there, Uma. Anytime he spends time with me, he labels it as a chore. I'm nothing to him." "You don't mean that." Tensing, you start to move away. "I do. If he really likes me, he's not showing me very well. Urgh, I don't know Uma. I hate all this emotional baggage - I'm going to go sort out the crew." She watches you walk away with a sour look on her face. Part of her isn't surprised that you're running from your feelings. You've never been that in tune with your emotions; always being head over heart. But the fact that you're even admitting to these emotions? Well, you must be head over heels. Although Harry is her first mate, trusted above anyone else, Uma cannot stomach him upsetting you. In fact, she can't stomach anyone upsetting you. It goes beyond the fact that you're a member of her beloved crew - you've been the only true friend she has had for the entirety of her life. Before Harry, before Gil, there was you. There's always been you. So, for that reason she cannot stand anything that makes you upset. Gritting her teeth, she stomps over to Harry and pulls him away from the captured prisoner. He says nothing, instead waiting for her to speak; with a confused look on his face. "I can't believe you Harry." She growls, tightening her grip on his coat sleeve. "What are you talking about Uma?" "Y/N, that's what I'm talking about." A brow raises. "Why are we talking about Y/N? Is she okay?" He immediately becomes frantic, eyes raking over the ship to find you. "She's fine. Jeez, Harry, how dense are you? The girl likes you back but the way you're acting is pushing her away." "She... likes me back?" His eyes find your form, talking over sword play to the crew. He loves you like this, in your element and taking all the authority that fits you like a glove. "Obviously, Harry!" She slams her hand on the rail in frustration. "Jeez, you really are dense." Seeing Harry's flabbergasted expression, Uma does what she does best: takes the reins. "After the fight, before we sack Auradon, you should tell her how you feel." "But -" "No excuses, Harry. You need to tell her." Uma snaps, scowling even more. Harry drags a hand down his face, groaning. "You're right. I will Uma, I need to tell her. Just after we get the wand." "" The battle is raging. You're not surprised it broke out at all, especially after that massive build up generated by the one and only Harry Hook. While he was giving his welcomes (sarcastic as always), you hovered behind Uma; smirking all the while. The VKs had quickly noted the mirrored images between you and Harry - while Harry twirled his hook, you would twirl your dagger between your hands. It was enough to have both Evie and Carlos raising their brows. Currently, you are clashing swords with the daughter of Mulan. Layla? Lucinda? Lulu? Lonnie. That's it. "You should stay here on the ship." You say breathlessly, blades clanging as the bounce off of each other. "Help train these pirates - I love a person who can use a sword." "No way, my stomach couldn't handle sailing. Besides, we all know you're eyes are on someone else with a sword." You smirk, slashing at her with a greater ferocity. "I don't know what you're talking about." For the next few moments, neither of you speak. Merely grunting and panting as your blades collide and clash together. From the corner of your eye, you see Harry dive after his hook; landing in the water with a splash. The fact that Harry has been bested in his speciality, a sword fight, causes you to loose concentration for a moment, hoping that he is unharmed. Lonnie, to her credit, takes this momentary slip in concentration and slices at you with her sword. "Ah, sorry!" She splatters, as the blade rakes across your face and onto your forearm that you had raised (rather unsuccessfully) to block any strike. The pain is sharp and instantaneous; with blood dribbling out of both wounds. You attempt to turn your wince into a smirk, but it merely turns into a grimace. "I wasn't expecting an Auradon kid to do that. I thought you have a rule against maiming." You grit out, parrying swords. "I said I'm sorry! It was an accident!" Lonnie exclaims, whirling away from your blade. You both stand there panting, gazing each other with wary eyes. Around you, the VKs begin to flee having got what they came for. It's plain to see that the crew has lost; that all your cards have been played. In all honesty, you're not surprised the audacious scheme has failed. Back to the drawing board, one day a scheme that you and Uma cook will succeed. You catch Lonnie trying to back away; attempting to flee with her friends. Wiping your bloody face, you lower your sword and bite out: "Go on then. Run along. This is the only chance I'll give you to run." She nods, backing away even faster now. "But know this, when I get to Auradon I'm going to come after you. The next time I see you, I will smash your pretty little face into smithereens. Consider that a promise." "Until we meet again then, Y/N!" She says, turning on her heel and fleeing into the tunnel with the rest of the VKs. You stand, watching them flee. From the corner of your eye, you can see Uma and Harry raging - neither to ever take losing well. Deciding not to join them in their display of anger, you begin to start organising the crew into shifts - an attempt to keep some form of normalcy and dignity. Just because Mal and her VKs bested the crew, doesn't mean you'll make it easier for any other rival group to try. All the while, blood from your wounds are dripping onto the wood of the ship - a stinging reminder of your own defeat. It's then that Harry sees you. Bruised and bloody; it's enough to make his heart drop. Pushing past the crew, he makes his way over to you. Yet, instead of meeting him halfway, you turn on your heel and stalk down to the lower-levels of the ship. "Y/N!" He calls, following you at a greater pace. As you storm into your room, he grabs your wrist and pulls you to face him. "Why are you ignoring me, lass? Who hurt you? Are you okay?" "Gosh, Harry stop asking me questions! It's just a cut! Nothing else!" You exclaim, wrestling your wrist out of his grasp. "I'm just trying to see if you're okay! Jeez, why do you always have to be like this? You never accept my help!" He throws his hands into the air in frustration. "Just let me help you bandage the cuts up!" "Sure it wouldn't be too much of a chore for you, Harry? I know that's how you feel about spending time with me." He pauses. Then looks at you with wide eyes. "Are you actually joking? Are you blind?" "Blind to what? What are you talking about, Harry?" You shout, stalking towards him. "I freaking love you, why can't you see this! I flirt with you and you give me nothing back! It's a chore because I never know where I stand with you! So, tell me Y/N, where do I stand with ya?" At this point, you are standing chest to chest; breathing heavily. Gently, he brushes his thumb along the slice on your face; his eyes flicking to your lips every now and then. "I don't think you'll need stitches." He breathes. "What?" His lips quirk into a small smile. "The cut on your face, luckily it's quite shallow. I'm not sure about your forearm though." Licking you lips, you gaze at him. This is the first time you've seen this comforting side to Harry, who is usually brittle and cruel. In fact, it's enough to throw you. Seeing this, Harry lightly leads you to the bed and allows you to sit while he roots around in your drawers for medical supplies. "The bandages are in the third drawer." You breathe, watching him intently. "Thanks, love." You laugh lightly, "Love, huh. And there was me thinking you called everyone that." "No, just yourself." He smiles, chipper attitude back in place as he strides over with the medical supplies. Sharing his smile, you decide to take the plunge. "I like you too, Harry. Not just as a friend, as in l-love. We'd make an unstoppable team." "We already do. Uma and her all-mighty wisdom pairs us together for a reason." He grins as he looks up at you. "Now would ya do me a favour and hold still while I clean this up, dearie?" He asks, causing you to nod. While he cleans your wounds, you smile at him; tracing patterns on his arms with your injured hand. This morning you wouldn't have dreamed about having a moment like this. But here you are, confessing your feelings to the heartbreaking Harry Hook. What change a day can make. "Finally! Took you two long enough!" A voice exclaims from the doorway. Both Harry and yourself spin around to face the figure in the doorway. There, smirking from ear to ear, is Uma: leaning in the doorway with her arms crossed. Pushing away from the door frame she continues: "You two, better not let this affect our plans for world domination. And keep the kissing away from the eyes of the crew, I don't want everyone thinking they can go ahead and catch feelings. Got that?" Harry smiles over at you, before placing a kiss to each of your wounds. "I can't promise that, Uma. I really can’t.”
