Enemy in an Alien World

Drarry fanfiction

"Enemy in an Alien World" by Dramafanforever (me)

This story is for you if you love...

lots of angst and pining, hurt&comfort, great character arch, Draco in the Muggle world, enemies to lovers, some fluff and humour, fics of around 100k words, happy endings, emotional rides

Summary:

After the war Draco was sentenced to five years in Azkaban. Due to his good behaviour he is released after three years to spend the remaining time on probation in Muggle London. He's not allowed to use his wand nor can he enter the wizarding world. The Ministry assigns him an apartment in a rather shabby house in Camden. Draco might have decided to stay in Azkaban had he known that Harry Potter runs a café in the same building and lives right next door. Unfortunately, Draco needs all the help he can get to survive in the Muggle world.

Hi Victoria, thank you for your wonderful Feverwake stores. The setting was very interesting and I loved your ideas about magic. The way you brought up all the (social) issues in the books, how you depicted Lehrer and how you developed Noam and Dara’s love story was really great. I think a learned a lot about abuse through your story and by discussing it with a friend. However, I still don’t understand why after everything Noam still felt so attached to Lehrer. (I'm sorry, I need another ask.)

"When realizing what an evil manipulative, narcissist bastard he is and seeing how he abused Dara and him, I hoped there could only be one feeling left: repulsion – and certainly not longing. Could you explain that to me or give me a reference to a source for "self-study". I am so bewildered by that fact. Also, did Noam fell for Dara and Lehrer at the same time or is what he felt for Lehrer very different to his love for Dara? Then what's the difference? Thank you and I'm sorry for bothering you!"

This is a good question! It's a little hard for me to explain personally I think because of personal trauma/experience, but I do have some good resources for you:

https://www.loveisrespect.org/resources/why-do-i-love-my-abuser/

https://lifeisloveschool.com/articles/why-do-i-miss-my-abuser/

https://chaynpakistan.org/my-health/stockholm-syndrome-do-you-still-love-and-miss-your-abuser/

Some key quotes from the above links:

- [Stockholm syndrome] can develop as a consequence of traumatic bonding, whereby reward and punishment create fierce emotional bonds that to others may appear ‘irrational’.

- Emotionally bonding with an abuser is actually a strategy for survival for victims of abuse and intimidation. In threatening and survival situations, we look for evidence of hope — a small sign that the situation may improve. When an abuser/controller shows the victim some small kindness, even though it is to the abuser’s benefit as well, the victim interprets that small kindness as a positive trait of the captor.

- Victims can look positively on abusers and controllers for not abusing them, when in a certain situations they would expect it (victoria note: for example Noam's insistence that things with him and Lehrer are different because he hasn't been 'as bad' with Noam as he was with Dara, so therefore things are okay)

- During the relationship, the abuser/controller may share information about their past — how they were mistreated or wronged. Sympathy may develop toward the abuser.

- While these feelings can be difficult to understand, they aren’t strange and they aren’t wrong. Love isn’t something that just disappears overnight. It’s a connection and emotional attachment that you create with another person.

- Abuse typically doesn’t happen right away in a relationship, and it tends to escalate over time as an abusive partner becomes more controlling. You may remember the beginning of the relationship when your partner was charming and thoughtful. You may see good qualities in your partner; they might be a great friend to others, or maybe they contribute to their community. It’s not shameful to love someone for who they could be, or for the person they led you to believe they were.

- You might feel that if you could just do or say the “right” things, the person you fell in love with would stay and the abuse would end.

- Abusive partners are human beings who are complex, like everyone else. They may be dealing with their own traumas, past or present. As their partner, you care about them, and maybe you hoped you could help or “fix” them.

- A victim of childhood trauma relives the nightmare of their traumatic childhood when they fall prey to an abusive partner. The abusive partner slyly assumes the all-powerful parental role, while the victim regresses to a child that is eager to earn approval and avoid punishment

--

As for how Noam's love for Lehrer and for Dara differed, I ultimately think that what he felt for Lehrer wasn't real love. It was desire for unconditional acceptance...which Dara couldn't give him (because true unconditional acceptance is actually not healthy). It was desire for a father figure. It was wanting to be the exception to the rule--the only person Lehrer trusted, the only person Lehrer could rely on, etc. His relationship with Lehrer fulfilled Noam's needs of acceptance, parental love, and--maybe most tragically--being able to help/support someone. Noam at the time was completely devastated by his inability to help Dara, and his sense of complicitness in Dara's presumed death. He thinks he and Lehrer are similar, that he can help Lehrer in a way he couldn't help Dara, that he can fix Lehrer's old traumas and help him through his grief and that they will together emerge stronger for it. And so every time Lehrer hurts him, to Noam it's just another sign of things he needs to fix, it's just a symptom of Lehrer's trauma. When Lehrer would then, after, be gentle and apologetic, it's a sign that he is fixable, that if only Noam is good enough and loyal enough, he can save him. And realizing/remembering about Dara, and then about the abuse in his own relationship with Lehrer...it's kind of too late, he's already gotten himself enmeshed in this codependent relationship where his emotional needs are entirely at Lehrer's whim.

🥂Champagne🍾

The pop!, the swoosh!, the rush of golden bubbles. The chime of flutes, clink-clinks! and laughter.

"To newlyweds!"

"To newlyweds!"

"To newly married!"

"To newly…"

"... newly…"

Newly.

His face.

A flash of smile, perfect teeth, his fingers on the stem. Clink-clink. The ring, ring-ring!, ring-ringing brighter than sunbeams in his eyes.

Sunbeams in his hair.

You know how happiness shines on him.

This is happiness. This.

The rings are shining. 

Champagne in slender flutes. Is shining.

His mother's voice is shining. "Draco, darling." 

"Mother." His voice is shining.

A sip of golden bubbles is melting on your tongue. You take another, adjust your bowtie identical to his. It is funny , you think, you might be wearing his and vice versa and vice versa and vice versa and... Who knows? You steal a glance at him. He doesn't seem to notice. Laughter is bubbling, you swallow it down. If his mother only knew.  

"I wish you both all the happiness for the years to come."

Are you drunk? Barely. Golden bubbles in your head. You wish it to be over. You wish it to never end. You wish to stare at his face, forever caught in brightness.

A tide of music rolls around the ballroom, bursting into the Wizard Wedding Waltz.

You close your eyes to the applause and steady yourself. Hold your breath. Open them. Raise your glass and join the chorus: "To the newlyweds!"

Your voice is not your voice. It doesn't matter.

He leads Astoria to the centre.

You don't hate her. Do you?

Happiness looks good on him.

Happiness for the years to come.

They dance.

Your heart is quiet. 

You raise your glass and drink. To the newlyweds.

Pass the happy! 🌻 When you receive this, list 5 things that make you happy and send this to the top 10 of the last people in your notifications.

Thank you, anon! (And also @bogglebeans for tagging me in one of these as well!) It's a good practice to make yourself think of happy things during times like these.

1) My new cat (Geraldine Eloise, or "Gerri" for short). She is a gem and I would kill AND die for her.

2) Sherlock Holmes aesthetics/vibes. I just rewatched A Game of Shadows last time (the second Robert Downey Jr one), which is very fun, and it reminded me of the days when I was a steampunk haha. Still enjoy the original stories a lot and all the interpretations that have come from it!

3) Pomegranates.

4) Photography - recently I've been having fun with insect photography, but alas, it is winter and there aren't any praying mantises out.

5) Baking! I baked some chocolate souffles on Valentine's day for the first time, and they actually came out, so I'm pleased.
