Summary:

No matter how much Harry Potter wanted to believe he’d left danger behind when the war ended, it found him again anyway. All he had to do was step out his own front door on a Tuesday morning. A Drarry re-imagining of Howl’s Moving Castle.

(੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)੭*⁺˚. * ･ ｡ﾟ☆

Beyond this point there is an excerpt that contains spoilers for the story.

Excerpt:

“Do what you like. I don’t care,” Draco says, looking away as he tugs off the outer robes that are acting as his suitcase. Underneath, he’s wearing black trousers and a peacock blue shirt. It doesn’t suit his colouring as well as it did Peregrine’s. He sits down heavily on a faded sofa.

“I think you do care.” Harry takes a seat at the far end of the sofa and stretches his legs out towards the fire. “You were making a De-Ageing Potion for me. I saw it in your memories.”

Draco pretends to scowl. “I was going to slip it into your tea some morning, to ruin whatever charade you were playing in order to infiltrate my house.”

“I don’t believe you really thought that. You knew I was cursed.”

“Not until you had your run-in with Elspeth in Knockturn, I didn’t. Before that, I actually thought about confronting you about whatever you were up to.”

Harry barks a laugh. “I don’t believe that, either. You would have rather taken your chances than deal with me head on. Yes, I understand you well enough now to know that. Come to think of it, I’m surprised you stuck around after you left the Unspeakables. Wouldn’t it have been less trouble to go abroad? First you went to great lengths to create a floating house and a fake identity, and then you didn’t even try to stay out of sight. The famous Wizard Peregrine and his miraculous potions!”

“Laugh all you like. I needed to stay in Britain.” Draco lifts his chin and slips back into his usual, confident tone. “And while I was here, why not try to achieve greatness and renown as a brilliant potioneer, albeit under a different name?”

“It still seems like an unnecessary risk with the Unspeakables and Elspeth Craven after you. Why did you need to stay in Britain?”

Draco shifts uncomfortably at his end of the sofa. “This may sound far-fetched, but I don’t see why I shouldn’t tell you, since everything has already come to pass. There was Prophecy made about me.”

“Really? An actual Prophecy?”

“Yes, an actual Prophecy. It doesn’t only happen to very special Chosen Ones, you know. About two years after I took the Vow, a colleague in the Hall of Prophecies offered to let me hear it. I’m sure he wasn’t supposed to, but it must be unbearably tempting when you know the subject personally. Anyway, it was about someone freeing me from the Vow.”

“Me?” Harry asks, taken aback.

“Not in so many words. Prophecies are all maddeningly vague, as you know. But it did say the one who’d free me would come bearing years unlived, or some such drivel. And that he’d be carried to me across native waves—Britain, in other words.”

“Oh! The pixie carried me to the house. That’s why you didn’t kick me out the day I arrived!”

“Indeed,” Draco confirms, then adds drily, “Little did I know how much trouble you’d bring with you.”

“But it was worth it in the end, wasn’t it?”

“Hmm. You filled my bedroom with spiders. I nearly died in a tangle of my own hair. I endured more green vegetables than any one man should. And now my floating house is damaged and my potions business in ruins.”

“Oh, come on! It wasn’t all bad. You’re free now, and…” Harry leans over and picks up Draco’s long plait. “You like this.”

“I know you like it.” Draco gives Harry a knowing look that makes his cheeks burn.

“Maybe,” Harry concedes. He edges a few inches closer. “The strangest part is… I’ve decided that it isn’t the only thing I like about you.”

Draco’s eyes widen. “Oh. What… What else do you like?”

“You rescued Timpsy—and Beryloth, although that was because you needed its magic,” Harry murmurs as he wraps the plait around his hand. It’s just as silky as he imagined. “You chose to stop a group of Voldemort supporters by yourself. You are very clever, and you like helping people.”

“I’m hardly a philanthropist,” Draco demurs, his voice gone a bit husky. “It just so happens that it fits in with my ambitions.”

Harry holds up his hand wearing the Portkey ring. “Was giving me this in line with your ambitions?”

“I wasn’t about to give Elspeth the satisfaction of getting ahold of you.”

“Of course not,” Harry says solemnly. “I assume the other gifts you gave me were for similar reasons, then.”

“Shut up, Potter. You’re a terrible giftee. No manners at all.” Draco looks Harry up and down with appreciative eyes. “That jumper does look good on you, though. And this is rather fetching.”

He reaches up and winds one of Harry’s curls around his finger. When he draws it forward, Harry can see that it’s silvery grey.

“My hair didn’t change back?” Harry cries.

“It did, except for this lock in the front.” Draco pulls Harry up by the arm. “Look in the mirror.”

Harry stands to study his reflection in the mirror over the fireplace. There he is, back to his old self again, but with the silver streak over his old lightning-shaped scar. And there’s Draco beside him, looking like his old self, too. He’s not as flawlessly beautiful as Peregrine, yet still very handsome in a pointy, aristocratic way. And he’s much less overwhelming this way, Harry’s happy to say.

“So, you said something about breakfast?” Draco says, with a charming tilt of his head.

“You’ll let me make it?”

“I’ll admit, you are a much better cook than I am. And I don’t fancy going to Diagon just yet, looking like myself. That will be something to get used to all over again.”

“I can Apparate to London and go to a Muggle supermarket.” Harry gives Draco a considering look. “D’you want to come along?”

Draco snorts. “Not particularly.”

“It won’t hurt you to try it!”

“I know that,” Draco snaps, then looks contrite about it. “I’m sorry. Not today, after everything. But… maybe another time?”

“We can do that. You know, it’s nice in the Muggle world. No one recognises me. As a matter of fact,” Harry adds, with a teasing smile, “no one’s ever had to come to my rescue out there, like they did when I got mobbed in Carkitt Market.”

Draco ducks his chin. “Ah, yes. That. You see… I thought perhaps you’d like to be rescued, for once. As a change of pace.”

“I have been rescued before. But never in quite such a… romantic way.”

“Romantic!” Draco scoffs. “Hardly, Potter.”

But when he meets Harry’s eyes in the mirror, there’s a hopefulness in his expression, a small ember of something that’s ready to catch—with the right kindling.

Harry lifts his hand just enough that their fingertips brush. The room is so quiet that he easily hears the hitch in Draco’s breathing as he leans in.

“I think,” he whispers, “it’s time you called me Harry.”

Archive Warning: Major Character Death

“Bristol is that way.” Potter points, then returns his hand to steady the pistol. “You can make it by nightfall.” A grimace flickers across Potter’s face. “Tomorrow, anyway.” “I’m rather hungry,” Draco admits. The faint, gnawing sensation is the least of it, really. His chest hurts and there’s emotion balled up in his throat. Draco’s entire being is teetering on the edge of a phenomenal collapse. Potter glances in that wary arc again, and his eyes return to Draco’s. Harry Potter owes Draco nothing. He’s well aware of that. But being in Potter’s presence is tearing his resolve to shreds. Potter looks clean. He looks beautiful and decently fed and in control of himself, and Draco wants nothing more, nothing, nothing, than to throw himself on Potter’s mercy before his crumbling mind does it for him. “I haven’t eaten in two days,” he continues. A smile he can’t control splits his dry bottom lip, and a huffed giggle sneaks past his lips. “Doesn’t sound very long when I say it out loud, does it? It feels long.” “I’m letting you go.” Potter keeps the pistol aimed at Draco’s chest. “So go.” “All right. Look, Potter—” Oh, no. Is Draco going to cry? If he starts, how will he stop? “First, it’s me, Draco Malfoy. You know me. And even if you don’t feel—” “I know it’s you,” Potter interrupts. “Here’s the thing, Malfoy. If I feed you, then every rough sleeper you talk to about it is going to show up here looking for a free meal. And this is not the Leaky Cauldron.” “Well, the Leaky Cauldron didn’t have free meals. It was a pub.”

I need you to know I pulled my car over on the side of the road two minutes before claims opened so I wouldn't miss this. Unrelatedly, I did a lot of sobbing, but trust me. I know. But trust me.

THREE MEN & A BABY-INSPIRED FIC!

Summary: They say becoming a parent is an unparalleled, priceless joy. Draco Malfoy finds himself putting that theory to the test when the star witness in his dangerous illegal potions case entrusts him with a powerful wish: protect her newborn baby at all costs. Now, it's up to Draco to fulfill that wish despite the looming threat of criminals hunting for the child. To think, just the day before, he was fretting over his inappropriate feelings for his annoying, bespectacled git of a housemate—not the mechanics of changing nappies!

Thank Merlin it takes a village to raise a sack of flour, ah, child.

Summary: “You know, Potter, maybe all you need to win is a little—incentive, let’s say.” “An incentive?” Harry asks, his interest piqued. He takes a step closer to the fence, and then another one, until he’s standing so close that he can smell the intoxicating scent of Malfoy’s expensive cologne. “Shall we say that if you win, you can have whatever your heart desires?” Malfoy replies with a smile. “Anything.”

A massive thank you to my betas @bubble-gumhead and @wecanthavenicethingx and a shiny thank you to @pato-roldnart for being there for me.

An avalanche of thanks to the wonderful Tami, for putting up with me changing my prompt and for also offering me two extensions - Tami, you're an actual angel, and I owe you a fancy dinner (with dessert).

This fic, written for @lcdrarry has been inspired by Shaun the Sheep. You obviously don't need to know the series to read it, but I seriously recommend watching it because it's simply hilarious.

LCDrarry Claim - Leap Year

Hey! This one was written by me! For the excellent prompt by @drarrymyheart 💗. Had loads of fun writing this! You can find it here

Big thanks to the @lcdrarry mods. It was a great fest! 💕

Summary

Draco Malfoy has come a long way. He has a successful business and a muggle-born high-flyer boyfriend.

One tiny thing - it's been four years and he has no ring.

No matter, he'll take things into his own hands.

Feb 29th is an Irish muggle tradition that he'll happily jump on. Archie (boyfriend) is in Ireland - he'll simply portkey over and pop the question.

One (LARGE) problem. The portkey office messed up and he's landed outside Harry Potter's pub.

The same Harry Potter that hasn't been seen for ten years.

*Big sigh.

Draco Malfoy. At uni it seemed everybody loved to say his name. Ron did it with a roll of his eyes and later with half-heartedly disdain, like he had to scrape the bottom of a yoghurt cup with a very dull spoon to get the last bits but wasn’t really bothered. Hermione sounded almost breathless, especially when she and Malfoy were having half of their classes together. To tell you the truth, seeing their heads bowed over a shared book in the library made everybody furrow their brows and say what, them? really? But Hermione and Draco made sense just like mixing spicy cheetos with chocolate right after; awful on paper but a really good fucking combo in practice. I’m getting ahead of myself again. Are you comfortable? Is this position good for your old back? I need to tell this story from the beginning so you can understand the situation fully. I know you love to have everything under control, under your thumb, but fortune always favours those who’re patient. And you don’t have anything better to do, do you?  I hope you’ll forgive my ramblings. What I feel towards Draco seeps through my pores into every fibre of my being and sometimes I simply can’t stop it.

Prompt: “Sweet November,” 2001, Pat O’Connor Written by: dodgerkedavra Narrated by: reveriepi Podfic Length: 02:25:58 Rating: Explicit Warnings: Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Vomiting, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse

Summary: “Give me November, and I’ll teach you to be happy. There’s only one condition. You must swear on your magic that you won’t fall in love with me.” Harry’s so tired. His whole body hurts. If Malfoy can teach him how to be happy, then... “Okay.” Harry is working himself to death. Draco only has November to help him. Falling in love is strictly against the rules.

As You Wish

Prompt: "The Princess Bride", 1987, Rob Reiner Written by: Pineau_noir Narrated by: Cailynwrites Podfic Length: 02:31:28 Rating: Teen and up Warnings: None

Summary: Draco was raised on a farm in the small country of Witshire; his favourite pastimes were flying on his broom and tormenting the hired farm boy. Though his name was Harry, Draco never called him that. On Harry's forehead there was a scar shaped like a lightning bolt, so Draco called him Scarhead.

Nothing gave Draco as much pleasure as ordering Harry around.

Or a story about fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, True Love, and miracles.

Summary: A decade after the war, Harry Potter is lost. There was a time when he knew exactly who he was, where he was going, and what he wanted. He is not that man anymore. Until one day he decides he is done. No more wearing clothes that don't fit, stuck in a job that was meant to be temporary, and simply coasting through his life. He has a plan. And, unsurpisingly, every single Weasley and honourary Weasley seems to have an opinion about it. But it's fine. Harry knows he is doing the right thing.

What he didn't plan for, however, was to find love in the most unexpected place. And with the most unexpected person. Still, it's going to be fine. Like he said, he has a plan. Weasley opinions be damned. He's got it all under control. Doesn't he?

Featuring a million Weasleys, a daft labrador, and a whole bunch of people just trying to figure out their lives.

I finally started making my way through the Lights Camera Drarry Fest Collection! Sharing a few of my favorites in case anyone’s looking for new fics to indulge in the coming weeks. As always, I’ll try to update these as I go through the collection. Enjoy and don’t forget to give these some love!

🩸 first, she fell (M, 1.6k)

Harry's wife is dead. No one knows quite what that means.

🏕️ Caribou Garden (T, 2.6k)

Alone with his swotty, posh, nemesis-turned-colleague on an uninhabited island in the far north, cinematographer Harry Potter grapples with his inconvenient crush. A nature documentary-inspired fic with magical caribou migrations, dramatic landscapes, and only one tent.

🛗 If The Boxers Fit (A Cinderella Story) (E, 8k)

When Draco ends up shagging a hot, mysterious stranger in a broken Ministry lift and is left with nothing but a sexy pair of red boxers to remember them by, Draco’s friends go sleuthing.

🧩 drag the past out into the light (E, 20k)

There's a serial killer stalking magical London. The murders are gruesome, bizarre, and somehow connected to the Voldemort wars. Auror Harry Potter is paired up with an analyst from the Department of Mysteries to piece together the clues in the killer's unsettling game before they kill again. The good news? This analyst is the best one on offer. The bad news? It's Draco Malfoy.

☠️ Happiness Seems to Be Loneliness (E, 30k)

Fucking Pansy was like fucking a fish. or: Drarry meets Saltburn. Cw: dddne

🐉 Romancing the Dragon (E, 34k)

Harry Potter writes romance novels from the comfort of his London townhouse with the assistance of his beloved cat, Juliet. He does not engage in rescue missions, talk to dragons, or develop feelings for Draco Malfoy. That would be absurd.

Lights Camera Drarry 2024 recs

Here are some of my favorite fics from @lcdrarry 2024. Listed in alphabetical order.

Black Sheep by shushu_yaoi_lj / @orange-peony [10k]

“You know, Potter, maybe all you need to win is a little—incentive, let’s say.” “An incentive?” Harry asks, his interest piqued. He takes a step closer to the fence, and then another one, until he’s standing so close that he can smell the intoxicating scent of Malfoy’s expensive cologne. “Shall we say that if you win, you can have whatever your heart desires?” Malfoy replies with a smile. “Anything.”

A Ferret, a ScarHead, a Weasel, and a Baby by trishjames [91k]

They say becoming a parent is an unparalleled, priceless joy. Draco Malfoy finds himself putting that theory to the test when the star witness in his dangerous illegal potions case entrusts him with a powerful wish: protect her newborn baby at all costs. Now, it's up to Draco to fulfill that wish despite the looming threat of criminals hunting for the child. To think, just the day before, he was fretting over his inappropriate feelings for his annoying, bespectacled git of a housemate—not the mechanics of changing nappies! Thank Merlin it takes a village to raise a sack of flour, ah, child.

first, she fell by luminae [1k]

Harry's wife is dead. No one knows quite what that means.

Love Will Abide by @dodgerkedavra [39k]

Harry and Draco survive the apocalypse. This is what happens after.

Obscuro by stratigraphy [35k]

Draco is grieving. His conversation partner is here against his will. It's a shameless rip-off of an insipid Muggle reality dating show. Hardly the occasion for true love, if you ask Draco. feat. a cat named Marmalade, a bird named Mumble, Lee Jordan's answer to Love is Blind, and two best friends who only want their dads to be happy.

this strange effect by harDeehar [30k]

Harry hated his job, his cousin, and his inability to figure out how to fit into the boring, depressing world around him. He kept his peace until Draco Malfoy turned out to not be dead like Harry thought he was. Deadly, though? Harry was going to figure that out.

I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!
