Second chance

For @drarrymicrofic prompt "Changes" . Thank you @cluelesspigeons for beta reading!

Harry noticed some changes in Draco’s behaviour ever since the beginning of the eighth year. Good changes. He smiled more, laughed more. And Harry couldn’t help but follow him to keep a watch on him. 

“You’re not going to be like sixth year all over again, right?” Ron sighed as they sat at theGryffindor table in the Great Hall. 

“Why are you saying it like that?” Harry struggled to stop staring at the blond Slytherin. 

“Because I can’t stand seeing my best friend being into… him!” Ron groaned. 

“You were the one saying that people deserve second chances. And Draco has changed!” Harry turned around to look at Draco again. 

“Right.” Ron sighed again before taking a bite of his chicken. He turned to the others at the table. “Who wants to place a bet on them? I give it two months.”

“Two weeks,” Neville said as he sat down beside Harry. 

“Hey!” Harry gasped. 

“They’re pretty dense,” Hermione argued. “It won’t happen before spring break.” 

Harry groaned. Of course they would bet on his love life. But as he looked at Draco again and saw him staring back at him with a soft smile, he wanted to prove them wrong. 

“Two minutes,” he said. He got up from the table and started walking.

Furry adventures

A drarry fanfiction

When Draco came home from work, the house was eerily quiet. No lights were turned on and all the fires in the fireplaces were cold as well. A cold breeze blew through the house, making goosebumps appear on Draco’s skin. He shivered.

Sighing, he ran a hand through the hair that had escaped the messy bun he had put it in. This wasn’t the first time he had come home like this. This could only mean one thing.

Leaving his bag by the front door, Draco made his way towards the empty kitchen. The backdoor was wide open, letting in the cool March air. “Of course,” Draco mumbled as he saw Harry’s coat still hanging on the hook by the door. He shook his head and walked outside.

The garden was empty as well. There was no trace of Harry ever being there. Though Draco knew better. This wasn’t the first time, after all.

Careful to stay onto the little path and not dirty his fancy shoes, he made his way further down into the garden. Around him, nature was slowly waking up again. After months of cold rain and snow, small buds of flowers and leaves were already growing back. Draco’s eye even caught a glimpse of purple and blue crocus flowers blooming in the shadow of a tree.

He smiled as he turned around a corner to a more secluded part of their garden. It had always been his favourite place. They had strung fairy lights around and in the trees, covering the small area in a soft, golden hue. And with the leaves filtering the rays of sun shining through in summer, it truly looked ethereal.

Right now, however, there wasn’t much more than the green grass, the small crocus flowers and… a fox?

Draco huffed a laugh, the smile on his lips widening. He should have known.

In front of him, only a few metres away from him, a gorgeous ginger fox was sitting on the ground. Its fluffy tail was wound around his body and his vibrant green eyes were focussed on something sitting on the tip of his nose. Draco squinted his eyes, cursing himself for not bringing his glasses. He could barely make out the periwinkle blue of a butterfly sitting on the fox’s nose.

It was the most adorable thing he had ever seen.

It didn’t take long, however, for the butterfly to take flight again and disappear from sight. The fox turned its head towards Draco, its green eyes sparkling with something familiar, something mischievous. And before Draco knew it, the fox started charging at him. He braced himself for the impact and the fluff in his mouth, but instead, he was met with the brutal force of his forty three-year-old husband knocking him to the ground.

Draco groaned as his head made contact with the hard ground underneath him, though he could not help the smile that was pulling at his lips. “You bastard,” he said, though he wrapped his arms around Harry, who had landed on top of him, his chuckles muffled by Draco’s warm coat.

“Worth it,” Harry laughed. He lifted his head and placed a soft kiss on Draco’s lips, using one of his hands to tuck a strand of Draco’s hair behind his ear. “You should have seen your face.”

“Oh shut it,” Draco said, swatting Harry’s shoulder. They sat up on the ground. “I was prepared for a fox to hit me. Not some old barbarian like you.”

Harry gasped, placing a hand over his heart. “An old barbarian? Me? Draco! How could you say something like that? You have wounded me!”

Draco simply rolled his eyes and stood up from the ground, dusting off his nice pair of trousers. “Stop being so dramatic,” he said. “Anyway, I’ll be in the kitchen drinking a warm cup of delicious tea.” He turned to face Harry who was still sitting on the ground watching him with that cunning glint in his green eyes. “At least then I won’t be freezing my balls off.”

With a deep grunt and a soft chuckle, Harry stood as well, taking one of Draco’s hands into his own. “Mind if I join you?” He smiled sweetly. “I can tell you all about the things I’ve seen on my adventures today?”

When Draco looked at him, at that sweet, sweet smile and those hypnotising green eyes, he couldn’t find it in him to say no. And though he might not ever admit it out loud, he truly enjoyed listening to his husband’s furry adventures.

12. Drunken Confessions

by @peachydreamxx

The clock strikes midnight, and the bar is still in full swing. Harry is too, apparently. Flailing his arms around, too lost in the music from the jukebox to care about the looks he’s getting from around the crowded room. 

“Does your boyfriend always dance like a fool?” Pansy eyes intently over the rim of her wine glass, leaning into Draco’s shoulder. 

“Sadly, yes.” Draco says, taking another much-needed swig of firewhiskey. 

Harry breaks from the crowd and stumbles over, almost meeting Draco’s feet as he’s caught in his boyfriend's arms and guided into a nearby chair. “Someone’s been on the port, I see.” 

Harry hums, smiling drunkenly. “I really, really like you, Draco.” 

“Well that’s a relief considering we live together.” 

“I want you to be my boyfriend.” Harry slurs. 

Pansy snorts into her wine glass and shakes her head, her laughter trailing off as she leaves the two lovebirds to themselves. 

“Do you really?” Draco asks, hooking a brow. “I’m not so sure about that.” 

“But we’d be so good together!” Harry protests, head lolling back. 

Draco sighs, plucks the half-empty glass from Harry’s grip and sets it down out of reach. “Hm, I’m not sure drunken idiots are my type.” 

Harry slumps against Draco’s neck, muttering something incoherent under his breath as Draco looks out across the party, at the sympathetic glances from friends before he hoists Harry back up and meets his glazed-over eyes. 

“I have a confession.” Harry says, peering side to side as Draco leans in, preparing himself for some drunken nonsense. “When you showed up to the Winter Ball the year before we dated, I thought you looked so hot in your three-piece emerald suit that I ran to the bathroom to scream into my fist. Ron can confirm that too.” 

Draco’s almost sprays firewhiskey over both of them. “I’m sorry—” he clears his throat and stares at Harry in a state of adorned surprise, “Weren’t you telling everyone that you thought I was an insufferable git during that night?” 

“It was a cover for the fact that I was dying inside.” Harry says, face flushed the most radiant pink. “I cried a little bit too. No one is allowed to be that fucking gorgeous.”

Draco laughs, loud enough to turn heads. He wraps his hand around Harry’s neck and kisses his forehead. “You’re the biggest fool, Harry Potter, and for the record, I couldn’t take my eyes off of you either. I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that Pansy called me a ‘pining mess’.”

Harry chuckles, lashes flitting softly as the alcohol continues to consume him. “I went home that evening and decided I had to do something about my feelings,” he goes on, “I may have also dealt with certain other feelings in the sanctity of my bedroom.”

“Oh, did you now?” Draco cocks his brow, teeming with pride. “How about I take your drunk arse home and you can show me just how you dealt with those feelings of yours."

Dating Draco

A Visual Novel Game by MEEEE for Drarry Let's Play 2023 (@drarry-lets-play)

Play it here!

Leave comments on AO3 here!

Summary: Ten years after the war ends, Harry - ex-auror, recluse, and general disaster - navigates dating the man he's spent the last few years in a friendly truce with and been half in love with for the same amount of time - ex-rival Draco Malfoy.

Will he manage to convince him to accept an invitation to the charity gala that he promised Luna he'd go to? Will he get the motivation to come out of hiding and actually date someone? Will he fall head over heels and somehow convince Draco to do the same? Maybe!

Will he stop being a human disaster? Probably not! It's part of his charm!

I'm going to reply to all my comments now and thank you to everyone who played it already and sent me messages (I was not great about being anon, but the mods were cool with it hahaha), I love every one of you so much!

❤️💚

This damn thing took me 2 1/5 months but it will take only around an hour or two of your time to play it! Holy shit this thing ruled my life for months lol

Huge HUGE thank you to @mallstars and @ladderofyears for cheering me on and to mallstars and @nelweensfic for betaing/beta testing for me. 😭❤️

Slide

This is for @drarrymicrofic prompt "slide". Thank you @cluelesspigeons for beta reading 😎✌️

First part - Previous part

“So, you’re dating Malfoy now,” Hermione said while serving some potatoes.

It was two weeks after the party and Harry had never been this happy in his entire life. He thanked Hermione for the meal and nodded joyfully at her statement. 

“We’re going on a date tonight.” 

“Where?” Ron asked, mouth full of food as usual. 

“An amusement park,” Harry chuckled. “He has never been to one and I’ve always wanted to have a date there.”

“Oh, lovely!” Hermione got excited. “What ride do you want to do the most?” 

“The slides,” Harry said shily. 

“The slides?” Ron asked, confused. 

“Isn’t it a bit… childish?” Hermione added. 

“I know it is. But… I’ve heard they can be super high and I’ve heard Dudley say that it was like sliding on a rainbow.”

“What does Draco think about it?” Hermione askedsoftly, understanding what Harry was saying. 

“That he would make my inner child happy as long as I agree for him to be beside me all the time.” 

Hermione put her fork down and Harry could feel both her and Ron’s compassion and love for him. They said nothing. They didn’t need to discuss it anymore. How Draco behaved around their best friend was proof enough for them that they loved each other.

Edit : next part here!

Black Ink

for @nelweensfic 's birthday! I hope you've had a great day! Here's some eighth year quidditch! I hope you like it! CW: Implied Canon-Typical Death/Grief, Eighth Year, Implied Bullying (not between Harry/Draco), Happy Ending He had thought he'd never get on a broomstick again. Not after the battle, not after he'd walked into that forest and came out a changed man. Everything was a reminder of the people they had lost. The flowers that grew in the courtyard, the Black Lake, the expansive castle that was still being put back together, brick by brick. Even when Headmistress Mcgonagall had started the new Quidditch league, he hadn't signed up. How could he? How could he just go back to how things were before, as if nothing had changed at all? It wasn't until he saw Draco Malfoy's name on the roster, which had been crossed out with black ink and changed to Death Eater, that he signed up as well.

Involuntarily, he breathed in. He could almost feel the warmth under Draco's robes. Harry’s lips were attached to Draco's neck; it felt so right and he wanted to bite him. Claim the other man, caged between him and the door.

9. Teddy's Nativity ⭐️

by @peachydreamxx

Draco peers around the crowded village hall, over the sea of heads that are seated in neat rows in front of him. The lights slowly dim, and the curtain on the stage in front draws back. 

“It’s starting!” He whispers, tapping Harry’s shoulder frantically. 

He fumbles with the muggle video camera in his hands, then holds it up to his eye, zooming in on the stage. He can feel Harry nervously tapping his leg beside him, and brings his free hand to Harry’s thigh. 

“I’m so nervous. Why am I nervous?” Harry utters. 

But Draco shushes him as the star of the show appears under the spotlight. Literally — the star. 

Teddy stands all alone, a tiny thing swamped by the backdrop of the stage, wearing the makeshift star of the north costume that Draco and Harry had spent weeks paper-macheing. 

“There he is!” Harry breaths, a silent gasp slipping out. They both lean in, and Draco zooms in the lens until little Teddy comes into focus on the camera. 

Silence fills the crowded hall. Teddy remains stock still, eyes wide and round against the harsh spotlight beaming down on him. He waves enthusiastically to Harry and Draco four rows back, greeted by the chorus of ‘aws’ from the crowd. Harry slaps his hand over his mouth to stop himself from crying as he waves back. 

Teddy opens his mouth to speak, then closes it. Tries again, but nothing comes out. The silence drags on with an occasional cough breaking it, and Draco’s heart thumps so heavily in his chest he’s convinced that the rest of the room can hear it too. 

“Why is he not saying his line?” Harry asks, before mouthing it at Teddy with little luck at getting through him. 

Teddy stares out at the crowd, stiff as a board in his star costume with his arms out at the sides and his face poking through the round hole. His lips begin to quiver, and he bursts into tears. 

“Oh Merlin,” Harry bolts from the seat, stepping awkwardly through the gaps in the chairs, ducking as low as possible and grimacing as he fumbles and trips with little grace. 

“Shit… sorry… really sorry about this… just gonna… almost there… oops… so sorry… that’s a lovely hat, ma’am… just squeezing through… apologies…”

Draco lowers the video camera, and snaps it closed, making the more sensible choice to walk down the side of all the chairs instead. 

When they reach Teddy, Harry scoops him up and they carry him from the hall, red-faced and sniffling as the play carries on without them. Draco’s heart breaks. 

“It’s okay, Teddy. That was a big, scary thing and you were so brave!” Draco says, kneeling down as Harry plops Teddy onto the ground and wraps his coat around the little, crying star. 

“We’re so proud of you, bud.” Harry says, pinching his cheek. 

“So many people.” Teddy says, tears rolling down his cheeks. 

“I know,” Draco coos, wiping them off. “How about we go home and you perform just for me and Harry, huh?”

Slowly, Teddy nods, a smile blooming over his face. Harry picks him up onto his shoulders, and they make their way home. “You’re always a star to us.”
