Draco: My New Year’s resolution is to stop talking about Potter

Pansy: Really?

Draco: Well, talk less about Potter

Pansy: Really?

Draco: …

Draco: One time a day?

Pansy: Doubtful

Draco: Oh shut up, Pansy. What about you?

Pansy: I’ll gossip less

Blaise: Draco has a higher chance of shutting up about Potter than you quitting your binge shopping hobby, Pansy

Pansy: Okay, I’ll do it if you stop spending your mother’s money on spoiling Ron

Blaise: …I don’t agree to that

Theodore: And my resolution is to stop hoeing around and sleeping with guys

Draco, Pansy, Blaise: …

Draco: You already broke it

Theodore: Yeah…

*

Hermione: What are your New Year’s resolutions?

Ron: My resolution is to go on a diet

Ginny: Aren’t you dating Blaise Zabini, who, by the way, buys every food he could for you?

Ron: …unrelated, next!

Hermione: Well, mine is to read more books

Ron: Careful, Hermione, or else there won’t be any books left for you to read

Ginny: That sucks, by the way. You should do something fun, like go to a pub more this year

Hermione: But I don’t want to…

Ginny: Okay, anyway, I’ll try to jinx fewer people for teasing Luna this year

Harry: That’s nic—

Ginny: I’ll knee them in the guts instead

Hermione: …what about you, Harry?

Harry: Mine’s to stop thinking about what Malfoy is up to

Ron: You’re holding the Marauders’ map in your hand

Harry: That’s also very unrelated, I’m not looking at him

Ron: Oh, I think he’s going to our dorm

Harry: WHERE?

Hermione, Ron, Ginny: …

Harry: That does not prove anything

That day, Draco went home, stunned. Did he just meet the boy who lived? The boy in his favorite storybook?

I like drawing drarry in different ages so today we’ve got these little beans. I’ve also drawn two other hairstyle for Draco (see after cut lol) but I thought that one would be funnier for when years later Harry would poke fun of it.

[iamnmbr3]

Remember that time in book 5 when Harry saw Theodore Nott, didn't know who he was (probably bc he doesn't hang out with Draco that much) and didn't care but then saw him in the library talking to Draco and immediately found out his name from Hermione?

His Draco obsession is so real. No wonder no one took him seriously in book 6.

Happy New Year people!!!!

[basiatlu]

Hi, happy new year!

I’m not sure if you take prompts, or ideas to strike inspiration. If not, feel free to ignore this. But if you do, can I suggest the word “caught”?

Thank you, your art is amazing.

Happy New Year!! Sorry sorry this is at least being answered in January, eh? 🫠✨ Thank you for the prompt and the kind words 💖

“Your seven minutes in heaven is up, lads — OH SWEET MERLIN!”

Wow... I really can't believe it's already 2023! What a year. What a crazy, crazy year it's been! 2022 was a fantastic year for me and I'll tell you why:

January- I was going through the motions, still just working on my ocs and my college coursework, pottering around aimlessly...

And then, February!

I began really *Pottering* about. That fateful Valentine's day really kicked things off... As it turned out, some people really liked my stuff. Especially my artistic take on a certain pointy nosed pureblood wizard.

In fact y'all liked it so much I carried on right through March and April too...

Started the Number Twelve series, carried on with the shenanigans, had fun answering asks...

Dipped out for a bit...

Came back full force in June just in time for Pride month!

And carried on all through July and August:

Then in September something very very special happened. I joined the drarry discord server- fell in love with it- made friends with some amazing people, even participated in Sudsfest!

I started writing my first fic in October.

By November I was ready to start publishing JoDT chapters weekly.

Wrapped the first book up by December, and participated in the owl post gift exchange.

I just can't really begin to describe how happy I am. It's been an incredible, fantastically magical year for me. I'm so grateful for this fandom, for all of you. Just... Thank you so much ❤️

Let's make 2023 just as magical✨️

[sweet-s0rr0w]

How is 2023 almost over?? This fandom year was a mixed bag for me; in good news, I managed to shake the awful writer's block of 2022, but sadly that definitely meant that I spent less time reading. In the first half of the year I kept up with Dronarry fest, and Wireless, but since the summer I've been working on a longfic and have definitely found that it's impaired my ability to read longer stuff. With that in mind, the lovely @drarrymyheart very kindly offered to step in and help out, and so in addition to my own recs, I present a few of her recs that I've heard great things about, but haven't got round to yet myself <3 these are denoted by stars (⭐)! There are some absolute bangers on this list (imho), and it features such a wide range in terms of length and tropes, that I really hope there's something here for everyone. All Drarry unless otherwise specified. Wishing you all a 2024 full of joy!

Hi,

A very happy new year to you !!

Hello! ❤️💚❤️💚

A very happy new year to you as well! I pray this year brings you many blessings and great joy!

Please allow this to be an excuse for me to write a little drabble for you (my first of 2024) honoring the New Year! (I just keyboard smashed it in my phone, please forgive any typos!)

———————

It was the bloody fireworks that woke Harry up from a dead-sleep. His body instantly alert, hand reaching for his wand on the nightstand.

The colors lit up his hotel room once more as the next set of fireworks exploded through the sky, lighting up the unfamiliar skyline in Hong Kong where Harry and Draco had been sent on (and just completed) their latest mission.

Draco.

Harry looked around the room, a room which now seemed conspicuously empty. Without his permission his hand strayed to the other side of the bed. The side of the bed that Draco had crawled into when they’d returned to their hotel after the harrowing escape. Draco had slipped in under the covers next to Harry and murmured, “is this okay?” Like he was afraid of the answer.

Harry’d reached across the small gap to take his hand, nodding because he couldn’t get the words out, couldn’t say how much he’d longed to be close to the other man.

“Can I kiss you?” Draco had whispered next.

Harry had met him halfway across the space between them.

He shivered at the memory of how softly he’d pressed his lips to Harry’s, at the way his fingertips had trailed feather-light over Harry’s cheekbones, leaving a tingling warmth in their wake.

When Draco had pulled back, Harry had been nervous that he’d want more; more than Harry could give. But he hadn’t, he’d just gently stroked Harry’s hair back off his forehead and pressed another soft kiss there too. “Can I just hold you for a while?” Draco murmured.

And how was Harry meant to say no to that? He’d cuddled in and fallen asleep within minutes as Draco’s fingers carded through his hair. His last thought before he’d drifted off had been to wonder how he could have gotten so lucky.

He shook his head as he collapsed back on the bed, he should have known it was too good to be true. That someone would just want to cuddle, would just want to be with him, it was too much. Or perhaps not enough. Either way, it didn’t change the fact that the new year had arrived and Harry found himself as alone as he always was when the new year arrived.

He was sulking, considering having a proper cry, when he heard the toilet flush and the sink start.

His heart leapt into his throat, an unwieldy frog trying to escape the hands of a child who would capture it.

The door opened a moment later and Draco tiptoed out, closing the door with a soft snick before turning back to the bed. He froze when he saw Harry staring at him. “Sorry,” he whispered, honoring the warm-dark around them, “did I wake you? I didn’t mean to disturb-”

Another round of fireworks interrupted him as Harry shook his head, “the fireworks,” he said helplessly. “I thought you’d gone,” he said, hoping his voice held steady enough that it didn’t betray his grief over that fact.

“Did you want me to?” Draco asked, gesturing toward the door.

“No!” Harry said quickly, too quickly.

But Draco’s shoulders eased and he slipped back into the bed next to Harry.

Harry reached out and tentatively brushed his knuckle over Draco’s hand, longing to close the distance between them but not knowing how.

Draco cleared his throat, “did you know there’s a tradition that says whoever you kiss at midnight is the person you’ll be with until the next new year?”

He swallowed roughly, “I don’t think that anyone wants that responsibility.”

Draco’s tongue darted over his bottom lip, “seems more like a privilege than a responsibility to me.”

He laughed, knuckle still trailing over Draco’s hand. “I like kissing,” he whispered. “And I love to be cuddled and held,” he continued. “But…” he trailed off, swallowing past the shame and embarrassment.

“You don’t like sex?” Draco offered, voice warm with compassion and devoid of any judgement.

He nodded, avoiding his gaze.

“Harry?” he murmured, “can I kiss you?”

He blinked, “I’m not going to change my mind about it. It’s not something that can be fixed.”

Draco nodded again, “it’s not something that’s broken.” He shrugged, “you don’t have to want to have sex with me for me to want to be your partner in more than the work sense of the word. I’m,” he broke off and bit his lip, “honestly I’m a bit gone on you.”

“Yeah?” Harry asked, eyes stinging, chest constricting painfully at the thought that he might get to have this, might get to love Draco and be loved in return.

“Yeah,” Draco replied with a little laugh. He cupped Harry’s cheek, stroking his thumb over Harry’s cheekbone. “So, what do you say? Want to spend this year with me?”

How about this lifetime? Harry thought. But he didn’t say it, instead he nodded and leaned in letting Draco kiss him. They had their whole lives ahead, one day, one kiss, at a time.

[daddiesdrarryy]

Sirius: What’s your resolution for New Year, guys? You start first, Reggie

Regulus: I don’t got one

Sirius: None?

Regulus: Well, I’d like to be invited less to your lame parties with your friends

Sirius: Impossible. And my parties are cool. Prongs?

James: I wanna ask someone I like out

Sirius: Oh, really? You’re finally asking Lily out?

James: No, no, not her

Sirius: Well who is it then? Do I know them?

James: …that’s a very tricky question you’re asking, Pads

Sirius: Come on, what? Who is it? Moony, you know who Prongs is talking about?

Remus: …why don’t you talk about your resolution, Wormtail?

Peter: Oh, yeah, sure, I’d like to eat more vegetables, if I can

Sirius: That’s very healthy, Peter. Why don’t you tell me who it is, Prongs?

James: Pads, it’s no big deal

Sirius: You’re hiding something, aren’t you? You’re all pink

James: I’m not!

Sirius: Who is it? Is it some—oh Merlin, is it one of us? Is that why you can’t say it? You have a crush on someone here?

James: …

Sirius: Oh, no, is it—is it me?

James: What? No! No! Not you, I swear

Sirius: Okay, okay good, I’m slightly offended, but good. Who is it?

James: I’m not gonna tell you, Pads

Sirius: This is so unfair, it’s New Year, we gotta let go of all the secrets, Prongs. Who do you got a crush on?

Sirius: It isn’t me. So Moony?

James: …

Sirius: Wormtail?

James: …

Sirius: My Reggie?

James: Pads—

Sirius: Oh God, it’s Reg? You-you got a crush on my little brother? Regulus? My BROTHER? REGGIE?

Remus: James, run!

I love how literally the one time Draco didn't come to visit him on the train Harry immediately went to find him. And then Draco recognized him by the sound of his breathing and a glimpse of his shoe. And then despite being convinced Draco is a Death Eater on a mission Harry never once worries Draco would harm HIM even tho it would be logical to assume that's what his mission at Hogwarts is.

And he's not even that mad at him about the nose breaking incident. Like he's more angry at Snape for berating him for being late than at Draco for actually attacking him. And he backs off completely after the Sectum Sempra incident even tho Draco has basically admitted that something is going on - just because he doesn't want to hurt Draco more.

And then in book 7 when you'd think he'd blame Draco for Dumbledore's death as well as Snape he doesn't and feels great pity for Draco. And when he sees him using an unforgivable thru Voldemort's eyes he immediately accepts Draco doesn't want to and is being forced. And instead of assuming he's beyond redemption now he just pities him more for what he's going through. It's wild. You would not expect him to view someone he purely dislikes this way or give him so much benefit of the doubt.

And that's not even getting into how in book 6 Draco has Harry entirely at his mercy in the beginning and doesn't even think of trying to take him to Voldemort or kill him. And in book 7 he risks a horrific death for himself and his family and gives up the probable last chance to get back in Voldemort's good graces - in other words gives up everything he has been taught to aspire towards - just to say "I can't be sure."

Aw thank you so much, anon buddy! I hope your day when you sent this (as well as today) is treating you well, too. Had a delightful latte and pastry, deep cleaned my espresso machine, and got to warm up drawing your pose request surrounded by sleepy kitties. Life is kind to me!
