#drarry careers

[pottermoregays]

hello hi- i’m in search of a good masterlist that has a bunch of interesting/unique jobs or job combos for drarry?? maybe just HP in general, but am curious.

i have checked through like fests, masterlists for fic recs, etc. but if anyone has actually compiled a list of careers.. pls indulge me

[pato-roldnart]

I did a little something for @hd-fan-fair 😊😊 I hope you all like pet sitter Harry and wildlife illustrator Draco!!!

Special thanks to @bubble-gumhead, @orange-peony and @avenueofesc for encouraging me to participate, you guys are the best 💕💕💕

Based on this prompt: Draco has received news of a rare magical creature sighting and has been called in to illustrate the animal and it’s natural habitat/den. Only problem is: he can’t find anyone to pet sit his beloved animals and seeks outsider help by hiring a pet sitter through a wizarding company. Enter: Harry James Potter, pet sitter extraordinaire and living his best life hanging out with animals all over Britain, enjoying the vast and interesting towns and houses he finds himself in. Draco, loves his animals so much and asks to have regular contact through letters.

Letter's text after the cut

Dear Potter, I am writing to ask for your help again to take care of my pets. Unfortunately for me, they seem to have grown on you and they have been misbehaving with any other pet sitter. I have no idea why they speak fondly of you and find you so charming. Nevertheless, I was pleased to see that they were in good hands last time.

I hope you have a good rest and enough energy since the next seventy-two hours you will be dealing with their curious, mischievous, and overly friendly nature. Until next time, D. M.

Terminal Lucidity by @romaine2424 (G, 3k)

Tags: Master of Death Harry Potter, End of Life Specialist Harry Potter, Hurt/Comfort, Years Later, Older Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter, Established Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter, Major Character Death (not Harry/Draco) H/D Career Fair 2023

Death came to visit Harry only once in a dream. A discussion was had, and an agreement was made. Harry would retain the Deathly Hallows and their powers to ease those who asked into the next world without Death's interference. Death would only come when invited. He learned that Death wasn't cruel or proud, just efficient. Death told Harry that what Harry was doing made its job easier, and those it claimed were at peace with what was ahead. The only dreams now were pertaining to those he loved, giving him notice that their time was ahead. He could only hope that Draco and their children never appeared.

This fic spoke to me on a very personal level, with a writing that wraps you like a warm blanket. I so love this Harry as the Master of Death. How comforting it would be to experience dying this gracefully, and welcome Death gently.

[hsvh-hp-ficrecs]

Title: Lovesick Author: corvuscrowned | @corvuscrowned Pairing: Draco/Harry Rating: Teen Length: 7.6k Genre/Content: Amortentia, Banter, EWE, Friends to Lovers, Pining, Post-Hogwarts Warnings: none Summary: People keep spiking Auror Harry Potter with love potions. Healer Draco Malfoy keeps having to pick up the pieces. But it's getting harder and harder for Draco to watch Harry fall in love with everyone except for him.

What I enjoyed:

It’s funny and sweet, with the perfect dash of mutual pining. I love Healer Draco, and Harry without a lick of sense. Harry being stuck waxing poetic about each new great Love of his Life™ until the antidote to Amortentia kicks in is just hilarious. Draco has the patience of a saint to put up with him.

The last scene, when Harry kicks the Amortentia on his own is just. . .so good. That pining resolution just hits so perfect.

A few Drarry fics and fanart I enjoyed recently.

🛶🏆 Our Objective Remains Unchanged by @citrusses (WIP 6/9, 28k, E)

Harry Potter, returning member of the Oxford University Boat Club, has two goals for the spring of 2005: beat Cambridge, and beat Draco Malfoy. Perhaps not in that order.

@unleashed-fest entries:

🐦🏖 Birds Behaving Badly by @peachpety (fic, 10k, E)

For eight years, Draco has been content living a quiet life of anonymity in Brighton, dodging pesky seagulls and enjoying the ephemeral boys of summer. And if these summer blokes just happen to resemble Harry Potter, it’s a mere coincidence—despite what his friends say.

But when a repeat one-night stand challenges him to face his desires, Draco thinks he’s finally over his years-long crush.

A seagull named Kevin thinks otherwise.

🏚🐾 With Love in Her Luminous Eyes by @starquestingfordrarry (fic, 30k, T)

The Demiguise lived in Grimmauld Place, and she lived all alone.

@hd-fan-fair entries:

🎨🖼 "H. J. Potter", (2019) oil on canvas, Draco Malfoy by @creeeee (digital comic, G)

After building quite an illustrious career as a magical portrait artist, Draco Malfoy is commissioned to paint the official portrait for retired Head Auror and current pastry shop owner, Harry Potter, who must come to Draco's studio to sit for his portrait.

🦋🦆 Close Observation by @pato-roldnart (digital art, G)

Draco has received news of a rare magical creature sighting and has been called in to illustrate the animal and it’s natural habitat/den. Only problem is: he can’t find anyone to pet sit his beloved animals and seeks outsider help by hiring a pet sitter through a wizarding company.

Enter: Harry James Potter, pet sitter extraordinaire and living his best life hanging out with animals all over Britain, enjoying the vast and interesting towns and houses he finds himself in.

Draco, loves his animals so much and asks to have regular contact through letters.

🇮🇳🚯 Connecting Lines, Connecting Crimes by @sleepstxtic (fic, 15k, M)

Magic is going haywire after ley lines all over the world are mysteriously failing. A cross-border Task Force is set up by the League of Wixen Nations with Expert Cartologist Draco Malfoy and Ley Line Specialist Pansy Parkinson being called in from Britain to work with Magi-Geographers Harry Potter and Parvati Patil in India. But can they get to the root of the issue before it's too late?

Featuring: an excessive use of holograms, numerous references to food, and lots and lots (and lots!) of travel.

Harry Potter Rec Fest Day 10 - Fest Fics

Outside of @etl-echo-audiobooks fests (see Winter Wonderfics 2022 and Draco's Quarter Life Crisis Fest 2023), this is my first year participating in fests, including @hprecfest. I've had so much fun and met some really lovely people. I'm so grateful to this fandom for being so welcoming and constantly coming up with new, fun ideas for fests. And of course to all the participating authors, artists, podficcers, and endlessly patient and hardworking mods for shepherding all these new works out into the universe.

Amorous As This Lovely Green written by @annanother-thing for @hd-fan-fair Career Fair Pairing: Lingerie Designer Draco x Unwilling Celebrity Harry Word count: 14,646 Rating: E

This fic just flies by. The descriptions are so great, I could picture every lacy frill of the lingerie that Harry models. It's hot and sweet and has typically great banter. Thank you @annanother-thing! And an additional thank you to @hd-fan-fair; they've really developed something special. Besides the more than a decade's worth of fics they've collected, they have a competitive reading contest to encourage commenting and reccing during the anonymous posting period. It was so much fun to participate and I encourage everyone to join in next year! And read everything from this year's fest; it's a treasure trove of really interesting and diverse fics.

Rainfall written by Saras_Girl Podfic by @semperfiona recorded for @hpdrizzle 2019 Pairing: Draco x Harry Word count: 4,420 Length: 30:09 Rating: T

No one who has been in the Drarry world for a while needs me to rec them Saras_Girl, who would be on the Mt. Rushmore of Drarry writers, if that were a thing that existed. So this rec is really for @semperfiona, who is an exemplary podficcer with over 50 podfics under her belt. This fic is very sweet (part of Saras_Girl's Fluffy!Verse) and @semperfiona renders it perfectly in audio form.

And a couple of little self-recs ...

Only Happy When It Rains written by @pineau-noir for @hpdrizzle 2020 Podfic read by Cailynwrites for @hpdrizzle 2023 Pairing: Draco x Harry Word count: 13,604 Length: 1:29:25 Rating: T

@pineau-noir's summary is too perfect not to include:

Weather-Be's, the up-and coming business of Draco Malfoy, guarantees* perfect weather for your event! If you need warm sunshine, Weather-Be's will provide it. If you want atmospheric fog, we can make that happen. We have a 100%** success rate at giving you the weather you want. *guarantee invalid if Harry Potter is in attendance **success rate drops to 97% when Harry Potter's attendance at events is counted

Draco is hilarious in this fic and so is little Scorpius! I love Draco with an interesting job, especially when Harry manages to screw it up somehow.

Out of Place written by faelyee for @snarryauctoberfest 2021 Podfic read by Cailynwrites for @snarryauctoberfest 2023 Pairing: Harry x Severus Word count: 28,102 Length: 3:08:01 (11 chapters) Rating: T

I was excited when I found this fic, because it's not just one AU, it's a bunch. Harry is traveling through various alternative universes trying to get back to his own. There's one common thread throughout: Severus. This fic is heartbreaking and sad because not all AUs are bad for Harry. When I decided to record this, I hadn't really thought about the number of characters I would need to voice, including some original characters. I think it's worth a listen or a read on the strength of the writing alone.

HP Career Fair 2023 - 🏋️‍♀️

Summary:

Draco never thought that having Harry Potter as his new personal trainer would be the thing that drives him mad.

Yet here he is, at the gym, definitely not drooling over Potter’s tits.

Insta Drarry Fic Rec: A Year In the Life by Anon

Wow oh Wow! The next time someone asks for a Warm, Soft, Cozy, Drarry fic that also covers some deep topics, this should be at the top of your list. It come courtesy of @hd-fan-fair (Career_fair 2023). Here's the Summary:

Draco Malfoy's life mightn't be the one he imagined growing up, but that doesn't matter, because Draco enjoys it nevertheless. He works at Flourish and Blotts, enjoys playing for the Islington Imps, his part-time Quidditch team, and spends his Sundays at St Neots, the home of his Mum, 'Dromeda, and Teddy. Best of all is Harry Potter, his beloved boyfriend, with whom Draco enjoys dancing, shagging, and watching Eastenders on Harry's big Muggle television. Life couldn't get any better. Life, however, has a tendency to change whenever you least expect it to.

What makes this fic so unique and special is the challenge the author put on themselves. To have Draco write daily in his Diary for a whole year. The author is a master at microfics so each daily entry is exactly 50 words long. Stunning and Amazing. I said in my comment on the fic: BRAVO!

Each month is a separate chapter. Each daily entry is a gem in itself and we have 365 days of delicious spoonfuls of Draco's life from the mundane of cleaning and sorting books at his job to the excitement of his relationship with Harry. You can feel the continuity of life with the expected events like visiting his mother once a week, visiting Lucius once a month, celebrating the pagan holidays, etc... and then some days life throws a curve-ball and adjustments must be made.

I will say that I was at first daunted by the idea of reading 365 entries until I finished January. OMG it went so fast and before I knew it the month was June. December came even faster.

So click the link, settle in, and enjoy!

And remember to give the author some love and congratulations on a challenge well met.

Summary:

In 2020, Hit Wizard Harry is starting to enjoy his life. He’s divorced, and no longer Head Auror. His biggest project these days is trying to remodel 12 Grimmauld Place for him and the kids.

Draco Malfoy is recovering from his wife’s death. But is happy with his Ministry position as Temporary Head of the Department of Intoxicating Substances, and with his son who he adores.

This all changes quickly when Minister Shacklebolt decides not to run for another term. The assumption is that 'all is well' in the British Magical world, and that Hermione Granger-Weasley will easily be voted in as the next Minister for Magic. However, Draco knows better. He knows she has a strong competitor who is wooing those who live in Knockturn. And if he wins, the Ministry, and all that has been accomplished the previous twenty odd years, will be destroyed.

Excerpt:

“Harry! Good to see you. Are you okay with your friend? It didn’t look like a date at first, so I gave the go ahead to Juan when he inquired. Thought I was saving you.”

Harry leaned over the bar and gave Jason a kiss on the cheek. “Co-worker.”

“Ah, are you sure that’s all? He looked a bit interested and he put a on quite a show for you with the dance. We know you’re crap at picking up those signals.”

“He kissed the guy, Jason, though he did say he wasn’t interested in him because Juan doesn’t kiss very well.”

Jason burst out laughing. “Harry, he’s lying. Even Juan’s smallest kisses can bring you to your knees. And just so you know, your facial expression when they kissed, didn’t exactly look like a co-worker’s reaction.”

Harry was dumbfounded, he didn’t remember even a hint of Draco showing any interest in him, but then again, they both had way too much to drink. “I think you’re wrong on both accounts, but I don’t have time to argue. Do you have any of your special sobering potions? I left the few I had remaining from last time in my cloak pockets back home. I don’t care to screw up the spell to portkey across the ocean.”

“Sure,” Jason responded and reached under the bar. He handed Harry two small bottles. “It’s on the house, one for you and one for your ‘co-worker’ who’s looking like he might need it.” Harry turned towards the doors and saw Draco standing against the wall a bit tilted. Harry laughed.

“Thanks, Jason. I hope to get back here soon. Six months is too long.”

“Should I let my hair go natural then?”

“No, please no,” Harry said with a smile and turned towards the doors.

“Well, that looked friendly. You know you could send me home and stay,” Draco sniped.

“Shut it, Malfoy,” Harry said as he opened the doors and pushed him through. As the door clicked shut, Harry handed him his potion and then opened his own and drank it one swallow. It made him shiver. “Drink it. Trust me, you’ll be happy you did. It takes off the edge. Being as pissed as we are and portkeying such a long distance is not pleasant.”

Draco turned the cap but still hesitated to drink it. “Tell me what he said, and then I will.”

Harry sighed. It wasn’t worth arguing about right now. They needed to be out of the US soon. “He said he thought he was rescuing me from a bad date by allowing Juan to come over. Then he said I was crap at recognising signals of interest and asked if he should go back to being blond. You now know, so drink up.”

"Fine,” Draco said and followed Harry’s lead and took it in one shot.

Harry pulled out his wand and a key from his pocket. “Malfoy, I’m taking us to my place, and then you can Apparate or Floo from there. It’s got heavy wards so don’t freak out when you feel a pull, just hold on tight to me.”

"Fine," he replied again.

“Oh, and Malfoy,” Harry said as Draco reached to touch the key. “He also said you were lying about Juan kissing poorly.”

Harry was sure he heard Draco swearing as he felt the strong pull. They landed with a stumble in the drawing room. His rumpled Hit Wizard cloak lay nearby. The chill of the house permeated his bones immediately. He started a fire in the fireplace before rising to his feet.

“I lied because of the expression on your face, Potter. I feared for Juan’s life,” Draco said as he clamoured up to a standing position. “Would you like to tell me what that look was about?”

Harry felt the corner of his eye twitch. “No.”

“No?”

“No, because I don’t know what that look was about.”

“Oh.”

“Oh. Now, I know we’re both knackered and we’re only going to get a few hours of sleep, if that, so why don’t we talk or correspond tomorrow. I’d like to know how it goes with Rosa and maybe you can find out when the next MAWGA meeting is?”

“You’ll go?”

Harry nodded. “I’ll go.”

“Okay then I think I’ll Floo home now.”

“Smart decision. Powder is in the silver urn.”

Draco reached for the urn but hesitated putting his hand inside. He tilted his head and then grinned. “It was an okay date, Potter. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Potter?”

“Yes, Malfoy.”

“Oh, fuck it,” Draco said as he moved his hand away from the urn and pulled Harry towards him. Their lips and teeth smashed together. Harry pushed him away.

“God, oh shit. I’m sorry, I just had to know.”

Harry grinned and then stepped forward towards Draco and put his hand behind his neck. His fingers tangled in the silky blond hair; the scent of musk filled the immediate space. His thumb reached over to Draco’s face, ghosting over the high cheekbones before reaching his lips, gliding over them slowly. “Malfoy, if I’m going to be judged on a first kiss, then I’d like to make it a proper one.”

Harry pulled Draco closer and gently kissed the corner of his mouth as he whispered his name, “Draco”. He started with a small bite that pulled Draco’s lower lip into his and when he felt Draco’s hand in his hair, he moved his tongue forward, opening territory he never thought he’d venture. He was met with a deep sigh and compliance, and soon got lost in the exploration of each other’s tongues and teeth and lips. He knew he groaned a little too loud when Draco’s other hand slid down his back, coming to rest on bum with his fingers spread. This was so beyond unexpected but felt so damn good. A raw desire coursed through his body, but it was the magic, Draco’s magic that seemed to be rolling over him, encompassing him, infiltrating him. Memories, deep seated memories, flashed through his thoughts like a Muggle film. It was of him using Draco’s wand to duel with Voldemort and then those certain occasions that arose when everything was on the line. The magic felt strong and pure and warm, and it settled into his body without resistance. Draco was now sucking on this tongue, and he could only imagine how that felt in other places. His other hand on Draco’s shoulder, fisted his jumper, to tighten the hold, to bring him in closer—to merge. This was going way beyond a first kiss, and he knew it. Draco moaned as their hips met and they could each feel the other’s hardness, waiting to be explored.

Draco gently pulled away and Harry let him by releasing the hold he had of his jumper. He looked into Draco’s eyes as he retained his grasp in his hair and gave the flushed cheekbone a final stroke with his thumb before completely letting him go. Draco’s eyes were fully dilated, and that hint of danger had grown.

“Fuck, I should’ve left it alone,” Draco whispered.

“You, okay?” Harry whispered back.

“Yeah, will be. You?”

Harry closed his eyes and shook his head.

“No, I’m a mess.”

Fic Rec

Within You, Without You by @arminaa8

This is such a tender, kind exploration of Harry's interior struggle with his own identity, and Draco is so sweet to him, and they are both so soft with each other, and all of Harry's firsts are just *shakes agressively for lack of words* - just a big warm hug of a fic that will heal the tender parts of your heart.

Terminal Lucidity by @romaine2424

Words: 3,169

Harry leaves his Auror position when his dreams drive him to a new profession. One that brings peace to the soul before Death arrives.

This is heartbreakingly good, beautiful, haunting. The premise of this fic is lovely, and the execution is flawless. I've done my fair share of hospice care in my line of work, specifically home hospice care. I've seen the good death and the bad death and everything in between. I've seen people die peacefully, content. I've seen people die in agony crying after their mothers. I've seen people die alone and I've seen people die with so many people around them that they don't even fit in the apartment at the same time. And this fic captures the atmosphere of someone's last moments perfectly. So many emotions packed in three thousand words. I feel like this kind of job comes pretty naturally for Harry if that makes sense. The usage of the hallows is so clever. All in all such a touching and stunning story and hit really close to home. An absolute new fave.
