Moon and stars.

“You two are like the moon,” Luna said dreamily, sitting opposite Harry and Draco

Draco scoffed. “Cold, barren and distant?”

“No,” Luna smiled. “Silly thing. Every month, your love only grows bigger and bigger. Even though you fight and pretend to break up, the same pattern happens over and over.”

Scintillating

“Why do you love me?” whispered against Draco’s collarbone.

“Your sparkling personality.”

“I’m serious, Draco.”

How did he tell Harry that he was Draco’s entire world, that he made his life worth living? “You’re everything,” he confessed. “Like you were made just for me. A perfect counterpart for my soul.”

[peachpety]

come to your senses, draco malfoy

A mere glimpse of ridiculous dark curls and Draco's heart rockets into his throat.

Every bloody time.

In the Great Hall. At the pitch.

The 8th-year common room offers no respite—Potter lounges, carefree.

Stupid Potter and his dimpled, snaggle-toothed smile.

Oh, how Draco longs to smother it with his mouth.

“You know, Granger, I’m quite good at Potions.” Draco glared at her, annoyed.

She was scowling down at the textbook and muttering under her breath. He tried again. “Look, we got it right, I’m sure of it -“

“No, Malfoy! Amortentia is supposed to smell different to each person according to what attracts them, and all I smell is your stupid cologne - why you use so much is beyond me.” She huffed and rolled her eyes before returning to the textbook.

Draco stared at her, bemused. “That’s strange. It smells just like how it always has for me, I wonder why -“

“Oh ho!” Professor Slughorn had walked up behind them. “Excellent as always, Miss Granger, Mr Malfoy. Never seen a student produce finer!” He beamed down at them.

Hermione’s jaw fell to the ground. “Wh-what? We got it correct? But we can’t have, it doesn’t smell like this to me…”

“People change, Miss Granger, as does what attracts them, hence why the potion may smell different to you now. Like I said, it’s a spectacular brew, practically perfect. Full marks to both of you for today!”

With that, Slughorn wandered away, leaving Draco staring with wide eyes at a stunned, blushing Hermione Granger as the intoxicating scent of her perfume wafted up his nose from the Amortentia bubbling happily between them.

@sapphicmicrofics day 1 ‘sunset’ @microficmay day 1 ‘yearn’

Sixth year. First day. Sunset.

Bangers and mash, steak and kidney pie. Treacle tart, custard creams, crêpes au chocolat.

Severus stuffs his face. Lucius picks at his food.

Narcissa ignores them all — there is only one thing that holds her attention today.

Red and gold.

Lily laughs across the hall.

“You’re not getting anything for Christmas,” Harry says. “Don’t wait up for Santa.”

“But we’re so close to his house,” Draco replies. He takes a long slurp of cocoa. “Same, obviously.” 

That night, Harry nuzzles Draco’s jawline and whispers, 

“Love you.” 

“No gifts, Harold.” And then, smiling: “Love you more.”

100 words for @jegulus-microfic dawn & @microficmay hoodwink

I trust him.

Regulus' silences never bothered James. He could talk enough for two, and Regulus was an excellent listener.

I trust him.

When he turned sullen and withdrawn, James gave him space. Sooner or later, Regulus would be back in his arms again, sweeter than honey.

I trust him.

Bellatrix was his cousin. It was normal to spend time with family. Sirius had his reasons for hating them all, but...

I trust him.

James should've known. Sirius had warned him, yelled and begged and ordered him not to, but…

I—

He should've never given his heart to a snake.

take me to church

for @microficmay's prompts: Praise (Day 4) & Climax (Day 14) | Rating: E | CW: Use of religion (catholicism) as kink, Priest Kink, Church Sex | Read on Ao3

“Forgive me father, for I have sinned.” A shaky breath leaves his lips as his knees touch the icy, hardwood floors. 

“To which sin do you apologise for?” The priest, dressed devilishly in black silk, asks. His eyes are whitish silver – as though pure and untouched. 

Pleasure blazes inside of the man who kneels. He parts his lips, and instead of words, forgiveness comes in the form of heated skin against his tongue. 

His breath catches in his lungs as his eyes brim with tears. Blood draws on his palms as he takes in the man deeper. 

A small gasp leaves the priest’s mouth, followed by words rasping against his own throat as he tries to catch his breath. “You are forgiven.” 

The green-eyed man blinks, a smile creeping upon his lips. “Thank you, father.”

Tangible

Microfic May 2023. Prompt: Tangible. Characters: Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger

 “Would you look at that”, Hermione said as the silence had gotten almost tangible.

There on the couch was Ron spoon feeding Crookshanks, if she wasn’t so tired she’d take a picture of them.

“Not a word”, Ron muttered as Crookshanks licked the spoon. 

She smiles at her boyfriend’s irritation.

Dishevel.

It’s a pleasure, Harry thinks, watching Draco while he sleeps.

Draco lies, scrunched under the sheets, curled up in the foetal position, hands fisting the quilt like he’s worried they’ll be snatched away. His hair, usually elegant, is dishevelled.

Draco’s lips are parted, begging to be woken with a kiss.

Moon and Stars

“He doesn’t feel the same.”

Pansy rolled her eyes, “While we were all admiring the night sky, Potter couldn’t stop admiring you.”

“He wasn’t-”

“I was, actually,” a voice interrupted and Draco turned in surprise. “Go on a date with me?” Harry invited.

Pure joy. “I thought you’d never ask.”

quidditch, summer of '96

Harry/Ginny, for @microficmay day 3, prompt: revelation and @hinnymicrofic prompt: ride T

He’s always noticed Ginny; he’s just never seen her. Until he does: mud-covered cloud-rider. Sunset golden girl.

He sweats.

"Nice goal. Really — erm — clean."

She cocks a brow. He contemplates self-strangulation. 

"Clean?"

"Uh, yeah. Beautiful."

A gut-punch grin. "You're not too bad yourself."

She walks away. He watches every step.

“Did we miss New Years?” Harry asks, sitting with Draco on the kitchen floor. They’re eating the ice cream ration, saved for a special occasion. 

Draco checks his watch. “Just about. Ten, nine...” 

Harry conjures a ball of light. At one the ball drops, a miniature explosion where lips press.
