For the @drarrymicrofic | prompt: wound words: 50

How to Save a Life 🚑

According to Scorpius, Draco was dying. The scratch on his arm was a gaping wound. The few drops of blood, a haemorrhage.

“He doesn’t have much time left,” Scorpius said, voice grave.

“What can I do to save him?” Harry asked.

“Marry him!” Scorpius chirped, producing a small velvet box.

Sometimes I read book 6 and I have to pinch myself. Because some of the drarry is just too blatant to be canon. Right???

Draco Malfoy starts changing into his robes and Harry gets so distracted that he doesn't notice a potentially hostile person swinging a large object at his head.

I don't even know what to do with this information. This is a real thing. That happens in the real actual canon. It's printed in the book. It exists.

Not to mention that this is part of the same scene where a small gasp and a brief sight of part of a shoe are all it takes for Draco to recognize Harry. They are. So, so obsessed with each other.

Bound: Far From The Tree by aideomai

Typeset and bound by: me, @phoenixortheflame Ft. art by: mims bindery

The arrival of Harry Potter’s children—snapped back in time, the children themselves guessed, twenty or so years—was the most interesting thing to happen at Hogwarts for years.

Wheres my Soup-pocalypse bind came together in a mere few days, this one I agonized over for months.

You win some, you lose some.

I made this bind for @maleekamolscreates as part of our twins exchange, which we set in motion the day we found out we share a birthday.

I didn't plan to make another sci-fi themed Drarry bind, the chiyogami endpapers kind of dictated the direction. And I couldn't not use these endpapers. I mean... come on.

I opted for a nearly entirely monochrome exterior, save for the title which is layered offset HTV. If you look closely, you can see a wavy texture on the bookcloth mimicking the pattern of the endpapers, which is just matte black HTV.

I don't love the way the HTV turned out, and if I had to do it again I would have left the cover entirely blank. Maybe include a black-only title on the spine. But conceptually I dig it, and hopefully Mally does, too.

The edges are painted with black acrylic ink and the endbands are hand-sewn with black silk thread using DAS's Two Colour Front Bead Headband tutorial.

I finally managed to find short-grain cream paper in Canada (ty, Canada Papers!), which really elevated the typeset in my opinion.

Typeset art is by mims bindery (ty, mims!).

There are two pieces for this bind: the twins and a second piece (so avert your eyes if you don't want any spoilers!)

I opted to use red thread for the text block because, uh, it looks cool?

I was a big baby during this whole bind, so I must thank my emotional support crew who helped me troubleshoot and talked me off the ledge more than once: @citrusses @epitomereally @sits-bound @jtimu

I also DM'd a bunch of other pals with cupped hands begging them to feed me morsels of praise throughout the process, so ty @faiell @its-the-allure @smehur @edieblakee @the-forbidden-forest. ILY ALL VERY VERY MUCH.

where lovers have wings

currently 9k words, explicit summary:

Draco Malfoy gets everything he wants. A love story featuring: a chipped tooth, baby chicks born in a bathtub, Harry Potter playing the piano poorly, quitting smoking but taking up vaping instead, domesticity, desire, dandelion seeds, a perfect romance and then the real one.

‘Look, it’s none of your business what I’m doing, Crabbe, you and Goyle just do as you’re told and keep a lookout!’ ‘I tell my friends what I’m up to, if I want them to keep a lookout for me,’ Harry said, just loud enough for Malfoy to hear him.[HBP]

I'm REALLY sorry but harry lowkey likes to tease draco just as draco liked. Where is their bully–victim dynamic? Like he is almost WHISPERING(like draco used to do).Plus if he just wanted to investigate and find out, he would'n've talked(as he tells he hates him so much).That's why i feel he even lowkey misses their fights because draco doesn't talk to him at all.

(Also don't forget about how he can't focus in this part because can't stop thinking about him and dodges hermione and ron, too)

PLEASEEEEEE talk about it in detail thanks

No but this scene is so interesting because the only reason Draco even realizes Harry is there is because Harry interrupts him. If he just wanted to eavesdrop he could've stayed quiet. But he can't. He has to engage. He can't stop himself. Which directly parallels how in the earlier books it's always Draco who is eavesdropping on Harry's conversation and then butting in to try to get his attention. I don't think Harry is consciously aware of his desire for Draco's attention in book 6, but it's really striking how as soon as Draco starts ignoring him Harry notices and seems bothered by it. If he just wanted to investigate Draco there'd be no reason for him to interject here.

Not to mention he loses interest in Quidditch as soon as it stops being relevant to his rivalry with Draco and Draco stops caring.

 He didn’t know if Malfoy intended to ever actually fuck him, or if he just wanted to see Harry desperate for it.  The man was drunk on erotic power, and unhinged enough to waste away the entire night on these games.  A conniving Slytherin even in bed, he couldn’t be trusted to stop scheming and constructing pointless power struggles long enough for anybody to come before the sun came up.  Harry would need to take action.  

“And aren’t you ever going to come?  Do you even do that, or are you actually some kind of, like, sex robot disguised as Draco Malfoy?” “I’m not familiar with this ‘sex robot’ of which you speak, and while I admit I’m intrigued, first I must see to you, for the night grows old.”  Malfoy said loftily.

so late for this, but i'd love to know more about the potter, the painter and the sculpture maker!

smehur!!! oh this is a wip from so long ago!!!! it's a post war fic where draco's verdict is exile and he moves somewhere rural and becomes a sculptor! harry is a disillusioned auror and their paths inevitably cross!

The Death Eater trials were lauded and criticised as some of the harshest verdicts to have ever left the Ministry of Magic. Every trial was deliberated with casual cruelty and newfound contempt to push an image of a united front against dark wizardry.  Of 240 trials, taking over seven years to complete, Harry James Potter only testified at two. This is the story of Draco Malfoy, and it starts with his verdict.  The Ministry had chosen one of its oldest, darkest courtrooms for the trial. The heating charms were finicky at best and the air was thick with stale ozone and something just generally uncomfortable.  A dark stained, oak chair sat in the middle of the auditorium, with polished silver shackles engraved with runes to dampen magic to barely a spark.  This had been one of the most sensationalised cases to follow the Second Wizarding War. The Prophet, The Quibbler, any magical tabloid had published their ideal version of events.  Azkaban. Rehabilitation. The death penalty.  Chatter murmured through the viewing decks, rolling through staccato moments of clarity and muffle that even Draco could hear in the holding cell.  Drip. A steady drip counted the seconds to the start of the trial. Even the punished must be punished further. Only the lucky were granted death.  Drip.  Voices echoed down the hallway. Aurors. Because a seventeen-year-old with no wand, with no magic at all, held the balance of peace in a future he couldn’t see.  Drip.  “Draco Lucius Malfoy. You are summoned on this day to the Court of Magical Law Enforcement to be tried for your crimes in the Second Wizarding War.” Drip. “You will be tried on the following counts.” Drip. “Joining an extremist political group.” Drip. “Conspiring to partake in acts of terrorism.” Drip. “Attempted murder.” Drip. “Repeated use of Unforgivable Curses.” Drip. “Displaying and advocating for acts of senseless violence in furthering a terrorist agenda.” Drip. “For all counts, you will be tried as an adult.” Drip. “You may now rise, with your wrists in front of you. An auror will guide you into the courtroom.” Drip.

Draco has an oral fixation. Full art: Bluesky / AO3

slander (50 words)

"I don't," Potter says with conviction. Merlin. Happening upon each other here was awkward enough without the graffitied mirror: Harry Potter has a tiny prick & comes after 20 seconds. "I don't," Potter insists nonsensically. "I swear, Malfoy." Draco looks up from washing his hands. Potter's staring back. "Just… saying."

Harry Potter and the weed !!!

also @chiquita-3

i'm delighted you asked! 🥰 this one is my absolute favorite atm (tho tragically stalled due to fest obligations). here's a snip!

The goods are kept in a false-bottom drawer of his trunk. A Notice Me Not charm is weaved around it subtly enough to pass the detection by Auror search spells. Draco takes stock during lunch break, when there’s no one in the dorms. There are three baggies of weed in the stash: one Cuban, reserved by some Ravenclaws, and two Algerian, as yet unsold. It’s decent stuff. Draco makes sure to sample the goods before selling, so he can give accurate recommendations. Cuban goes in smoothly, with gorgeous smell and taste, but makes one restless and irritable, and has a rough comedown; not his favorite. Algerian has a thick odor and burns the throat like spicy food, but it’s very sweet and mellow afterwards and puts one down gently. Between the two, Draco would definitely choose the latter. But for Potter—and he still can’t quite believe it, though there’s nothing too strange about it, only that he hadn’t dare hope—for Potter, nothing but the very best would do.

After rummaging through the wares, Draco puts down an order for a full batch of Sicilian Gold. His absolute favorite, honey-scented and sweet on the tongue, it has never once made him cough; and it stirs such a complex bouquet of emotion: a dash of nostalgia and a pinch of melancholy with a generous serving of hope and something akin to love. A full batch holds ten baggies. One he’d take for himself.

He scribbles a few other requisitions: amortentia, veritaserum, dreamless sleep—always in high demand—gin, vodka, ecstasy, and for himself, a six-pack of lemon-flavored Muggle butterbear. Almost 50 galleons, altogether. But he’ll make thrice as much.

The order and the money go into the bottom drawer of his trunk: the one he’s enchanted as a vanishing cabinet. Usually it takes no more than a few hours for the supplies to come through, shrunken to 1/8 scale by the charm he’s installed on the other end. But this time he added an “Urgent!” to the foot of the order, just to be sure.

ooooh return to sender!!! but also and the anomaly :,)

thank you so much for asking! 🥰

return to sender is going to be an epistolary where harry and draco start corresponding through some two-way notebook kind of thing, either in 6th year or immediately post-war, pretending they're someone else (someone they want to be), and falling in love like that. it's been a while since i outlined it (kinda), and i've since read several fics that do something similar, but the itch has not been scratched, so there's hope!

as for the anomaly, i posted a bit from it here 😊
