Starter for both @hadncchoice and @sinisteraugurey for babey delphi and Draco respectfully.
The last time Harry saw Draco Malfoy was for his trials, then after that it's as if the blond disappeared from the magical world. There use to be a time where Harry would scour the news for Malfoy's face and read the articles. Taking most, if not all, with a grain of salt. He felt pity for his old rival, in some ways they had been one and the same, just on different sides of the war. It had taken him a few therapy sessions and some long thinking to get to that conclusion though. After that life had seemed to sweep him away, he saw less and less of Malfoy on the news until he didn't see anything at all. Life for Harry after had been- normal, hectic but normal. (as normal as child solider could ever feel) He went back to school due to Hermione's nagging but once he graduated he felt lost. Everyone was telling him what they wanted him to be and he didn't want to do any of it. He didn't know what he wanted to do, but he knew he was tired of being their poster boy.
Was it surprising to any of them when he would disappear for days on end? He'd rather wander the streets of London then to stay in the wizarding world where he was bombarded by letters, fans, and the like. They treated him like a god, a being that could do no wrong when he knew well enough he had done so much wrong. That was why, in that moment when he heard that voice, a voice he hadn't heard in three years, he moved towards, it curiosity burning his insides. He sounded tired, yet fond, a tone of voice he couldn't remember Malfoy ever using.
Harry's brows furrowed pensively, following the sound and peeking around a corner he spotted Malfoy with a child of all things. His frown deepened, how did he get a child? Who even slept with Malfoy in the first place!?! He was pulling out his invisibility cloak, draping it around himself, before he fully realized what he was doing, then with spelled quiet footsteps he started to move closer to the pair. The actions were familiar. He didn't even find it in himself to question why he was following Draco Malfoy again. As he drew closer he could spy the happy baby's face. A bright smile on the toddler's lips, pale blond hair similar to Malfoy's own ruffled, giggling while pulling her father's own hair. She was full of life, vibrant in the face of the other man's exhaustion and Harry felt a pang in his chest...

#19 → a kiss on the side of the neck // @hadncchoice
his palms press flat against her cold + clammy skin, holding her too-small body close to his. of all the places she’s been in this world, this is, unquestionably, her favorite. here, she is home. here, she is safe from the disease ravaging her body --- if only for a little while.
the softest melody surrounds them, enveloping their swaying bodies in the sweetest embrace. the tune is familiar: the first song they ever danced to, back when they were just kids falling in love. before scorpius, before the revelation of that cruel curse, before she even realized how captivated she would be by this beautiful man with eyes that manage to peer deep into her soul.
a trembling hand settles at the back of his head ( she’s always trembling now, yet another sign her body has betrayed her ), and she whispers the lyrics against the shell of his ear, voice raspy and too low. the end is near now, and deep down, they both know it. his shirt hangs loosely from her frame; skin hallowed-out and pale. she hasn’t left their room in months, and she sleeps more often than not. even now, it’s his arms holding her up; his arms giving her strength. all signs that, yes, this disease will soon take her from the two men she loves.
the curse has stolen so much from her ---- moments of her son’s childhood; a lifetime of love at draco’s side ---- but she won’t, can’t, let it steal this moment with him: swaying slowly, so slowly, in the room they call their own.
his lips brush against the curve of her neck, feather-light and so sweet. just like the first night they danced. she breathes a shaky sigh, eyes squeezing closed against the tears welling within her. merlin, she loves this man. merlin, she’d give up the whole damn world if it meant staying just a little longer with him.
❛ i love you, draco. ❜ whispered softly against his ear, the words he deserves to spend the rest of his life hearing. her heart breaks under the weight of her own grief, and for the grief of their young son. but most of all, it breaks for him.
head dips a little lower to press chapped lips against his jaw, as if hoping to sear her touch into every inch of his beautiful, beautiful skin. ❛ when i’m gone, i want you to look at our son and see the pieces of me in him. I want you to look at him and know that i loved you with everything i had. ❜
it’s not supposed to be this way, whispers the voice of betrayal in her mind. she shoves it aside, a single tear slipping down her cheek as the music continues to play. ❛ most of all, i want you to promise me . . . promise you’ll never stop dancing. ❜

@hadncchoice gets a starter
there’s no denying now that winter is nearly here, with the air crisp and chilled and biting at her cheeks. echo takes a deep inhale of it, letting the cold open her lungs while her boots crunch the dried leaves and frozen puddles along the path to hogsmeade. it’s nice to be away from the castle for a few hours. it’s even nicer that the group in front of them is easily forty paces away and laughing, lost in their own enjoyment of the day while she walks alongside draco, alone.
“ my parents arranged a meeting with calder selwyn over the holiday break, “ she tells him, tongue running along the inside of her teeth. “ wrote me about eighteen inches worth of reminders on proper conduct to go with their invitation. ”

“I can’t believe it,” Neville breathed, hands grasping the front gate of the Malfoy manor as he peered through the bars at all the beautiful, bright flora that now covered the once-barren and dark grounds of the house. “This— This can’t be real.”
He’d heard rumors that Draco Malfoy had taken up an interest in plants and healing magic and that he’d finally gave the Malfoy Manor “the damned makeover that eyesore needed” as one of his customers had thoughtfully put it, but he hadn’t believed it. Not until he saw it, anyway. Like a kid in a candy store, Neville’s bright eyes widened the size of moons as he took in the scenery. Much to his delight, there was a patch of cobra lilies growing nearby. One was in need of pruning and it flicked its tongue at Neville as if to say, aren’t you going to fix this?
It was enough to put the apothecarist into motion. He wedged his arm through the bars of the gate, finger tips just barely grasping the shriveling leave attached to the lily. With a slight pinch, the leaf is removed. The cobra lily looks pleased. Neville smiles in return and begins to pull his arm free— Only he can’t. Alas, he’s gotten his arm stuck between the narrow bars.
And to make matters worse, footsteps approached.

SO… IS THIS HIM? it hasn’t been long since her return to the wizarding world, the overwhelming oddity of being away from the muggle community. how long has it been since she was here? regardless of her talent with spells, science was her first love, the normalcy of a world with only the simplest of magics was intoxicating - freeing, to not have so much control over every moment. to live simply as a human, only based on her intelligence. that backfired with the grace of fireworks all the same // maeve has the scar to prove it.
she smiles all the same, standing up when he enters the room, perfectly on time. ❝ mister malfoy? ❞ the american waves lightly (better than a handshake, she’s never been able to stand contact with strangers). ❝ maeve donovan, pleasure. hope it’s alright I’m early - never been good at being late. ❞

a happy birthday for pseudo son @hadncchoice !!
there’s something to be said about people who stay in your life forever, in one way or another. Draco had always been a large part of his life, and with the hype of birthdays in youth, Severus had always at least tried to do something for the blond boy when his birthday rolled around. not that he was big into celebrations personally, but to a child it was always something to be excited about -- even as a teenager, it was something that tended to be exciting. another year older, but Severus would argue in jest that he was certainly not another year wiser. “ Draco. ”
he’s pulled the boy aside with a simple tilt of his head in motion to follow, not needing to guide him, into his office away from prying eyes. because Merlin forbid anyone see him be a decent and kind human being. “ over there, ” he points toward his desk lazily before standing off the side, hugging his robe to his chest with arms crossed. “ didn’t think i’d forget, did you. ” a cupcake; just a single one. with a little candle not even lit, but it’s the thought that counts, isn’t that right?

@hadncchoice Plotted Starter From Harry
Malfoy was doing it again. Making out with some random guy while he was trying to enjoy the party. The pair sat in the corner easily ignored by everyone else but him. Harry's left scowling at his drink and wondering why he even came to this pathetic attempt of interhouse bonding.
"Harry where you even listening to me," Hermione asks, a tired sigh in the tone of her voice where she already knew the answer. And that's how he was reminded of why he was doing this. His eyes had unknowingly glazed over, causing him to blink a few times to see Hermione sending him a worried look, and Ron grimacing having looked where he had been looking. "Fucking hell it's like Malfoy is a succubus. What is this the fifth-"
"Tenth," Harry cut Ron off startling the redhead. "This is the tenth time he's done this."
"Mate, you've been counting," Ron asks quizzically, brows furrowed.
Before he's forced to answer Hermione butts in. "Harry I told you to just ignore him!" It almost sounded like she was pleading with him but it makes the scowl on his face darken.
Ron snorts, "as if that could happen- Malfoy's an annoying twat it's like trying to ignore a doxy."
Malfoy and- was that Mclaggen?? Where leaving, the blond dragging the other Gryffindor away. He swears for a second- no he fucking knows Malfoy just winked at him making him see red for a moment. He stepped forward, having set his drink on a table and threw his bag on his shoulder to follow the pair when he's stopped.
"Harry James Potter don't you dare go after Draco," Hermione threatens, voice a low aggravated hiss as her fingers curl into his robe.
"Lay off mione, the weasel more then deserves it. He's got no shame, doing all of that while little kids are around! If Harry wants to beat the piss out of Malfoy let him, maybe it'll teach him a lesson."
"A lesson," Hermione gasped, scandalized, "Ronald Weasley do you even hear yourself! You sound- just like- like a brute!"
Ron rolled his eyes, "yeah, yeah what else don't you call me?"
That simple action seemed to make something inside Hermione snap. Her hair seemed to puff up, sparks on the edge of her fingertips having let him go in favor of facing Ron. The moment was a quick one, a blink and you would miss it but when Hermione had grabbed her bag to drag her wand out, Ron had sent him a wink of his own and a silent, 'get going' before he turned on his heel and ran. With an angry shout, she followed quickly behind him throwing her bag over her shoulder. Ron lead her in the other direction, opposite of where Draco had disappeared with his conquest...
"God speed Ron," Harry murmured to himself sending the redhead a short salute, not that Ron would see it but it's the thought that counts. With everything said and done, he yanked the invisibility cloak out from his bag pulling it around his shoulders before covering his face. He followed after Draco, listening to his voice echo down the hallway as it murmured seemingly sweet nothings to- to whoever he convinced to shag him. A sickening feeling overcame him as he follows them down halls until they reach a less populated part of the castle. Turning the corner he catches his breath, Cormac's hands were mapping out Malfoy's body yet he swears Malfoy is looking straight at him even though he knows he's invisible. His lips part in a moan, soft and sweet, yet his actions are bossy as he tells Cormac what to do. Pink lips mouthing over Cormac's neck- He couldn't stand watching this anymore, he couldn't stay still, his hands shook, rage welling up in his throat. Suddenly it's as if he couldn't see anything else but Cormac and Draco pressed up against the wall and pawing at each other. The pair were so intertwined with each other that they didn't seem to notice as Harry threw off his invisibility cloak. At least Cormac didn't seem to notice but he swore he saw Draco watching him, passively acknowledging him as he stomped over. Cormac barely had time to react, eyes only widening for a split second as Harry yanked him off of Draco, rearing his fist back before punching him straight in the eye with a resounding crack.
Cormac was sent sprawling onto the floor, the only sounds now Harry's own heavy breathing, footsteps echoing down the hall as he moved to stand above Cormac, listening to the other boys' pained wheeze. First, the sleaze bag bothered Hermione, made her uncomfortable and now he's been playing with Malfoy?
"You can't get away with this Potter- You can't use your fame to do whatever the fuck you want," Cormac spat, hand cupping his eye the single brown eye glaring up at him. "I'm going to tell-" Harry cuts him off voice low, and soft, contrast to the fury alight in his eyes, "who will believe you Mclaggen?" The silence that follows is tense, Harry's eyes never leaving Cormac's own as he takes controlled breaths. His voice drops an octave. "What will you tell them? That I stopped you from blowing Malfoy in the hall? What would Professor McGonagall think if I told her that?"
Cormac's face twisted, a blood vessel on his forehead popping out, grinding his teeth yet he stayed silent. He knew Harry was right.
"Get out of here Mclaggen," he finally hissed watching as the boy scrambled to his feet and did just that. Harry then slowly, turned towards Draco, his full attention onto the blond. His pupils were blown wide, wild taking in the disheveled look, kiss swollen lips, wrinkled shirt, and crooked tie. He took one step forward, then another, until finally, he fell into the spot that Comic had been. "Really Malfoy, in the hallways," he whispered hands having snapped out pinning him to the stone wall. "Where anyone can see you? That's bad form, even for you." He's heaving, trying to catch his breath as he stares up at Malfoy. Something about the look in his eyes, how Draco's lips part as he breaths in send warmth traveling south. Suddenly he's desperate to know what those lips feel like against his own, how his body feels like against his own. He's pressing his chest against Draco's feeling like he’s burning up, a wildfire alighting in his veins as he pulls him down into a kiss. It's messy, insistent and demanding as he searching for more, a shocked moan leaving him from the contact, the hair on his arms standing on end, and a shiver going down his spine.

once astoria realizes the blood curse will inevitably kill her, she becomes obsessed with providing scorpius with experiences. she can’t take him to see the world because she’s too sick / there’s too much of a risk, so she turns malfoy manor into the most extravagant wonderland for every season, event, or holiday. during the fall, you’re likely to find an overabundance of pumpkins. the entire house smells like hints of fall, and she requests that cider remains constantly on tap. at christmas, the manor transforms into a winter wonderland, complete with snowmen outside and lavish decor within. as an enneagram two, she gives gifts like no other, and every ounce of that energy is poured into picking the most perfect + heartfelt gifts for each of her boys. in her mind, she wants to take every ounce of warmth + love held within her soul and make it explode throughout their home, so her boys can carry these memories with them long after her death.

... this is what blaise has to put up with 24/7.and then people wonder why he’s so mean to everyone else. it’s because he can’t cope with dealing with anyone else, can’t be social with anyone else. he has to save all of his energy for draco.

@hadncchoice whined: Can you believe saint pottah! With his stupid scar and his stupid broom! How dare he turn down /my/ friendship!
it’s been... the 400th time lucius has heard that over christmas break. next year, he’s leaving draco at hogwarts and taking narcissa to france. “so you’ve said.” lucius’ eye twitches, and he considers before filling his glass once more. “have you tried buying his friendship? i’m sure we can give him... something that will make you shut up about it.” he’s trying. bless.
