Any fics where Draco teach Hermione how to do a BJ cuz she’s a virgin?

Can you fly, little bird? by thatblondebitvh - E, 4 chapters - Princess Hermione is going to get married in two weeks. The whole court is living with the upcoming wedding of the decade, everyone busy with preparations and gossip. No one cares about what the bride and groom are doing. No one cares where they are before the wedding bells toll. But Hermione’s life is about to turn upside down once she meets the mysterious knight accidentally stopping by the castle… One naive princess, one cunning knight and an entire oblivious court. In other words, a tragic love story in three acts.

Teachable Moments - PurpleSugarQuills - E, 12 chapters - It’s simple. When she doesn’t know how to do something, she learns. When she can’t figure something out, she researches. When she isn’t good at something, she practices. When she still doesn’t understand something, she consults an instructor. Twenty-seven years old and still a virgin, Hermione decides it’s time to employ someone to teach her the ins and outs of sex. It isn’t because she thinks he’s particularly handsome, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the way the bar lights gleam fire in his blond hair. And it certainly isn’t because she suspects Draco Malfoy might be some kind of sex god. No, he’s just there, sitting at the barstool next to her, and in that heartbeat Hermione finds herself brave enough to ask…

except when we went from friends to this - thebutterflysbrain - E, 10 chapters - Hermione is writing a book and needs peace and quiet, so she leaves London in the summer for a cabin in the middle of the woods and makes everyone know that she won’t have guests over. Her mind is set on that. However, she made that decision on the spare of a moment after kissing Draco Malfoy, his ex’s best friend, and never thought for a moment that he would follow her there for answers. But when she asks back, he lies. And Draco finds the worst excuse imaginable to stay with her there, something that he saw in a movie: the proposal of a friendly arrangement were he wants to teach her everything there’s to know about sex. As friends, of course, to help her feel more confident with herself. And it goes downhill from there.

Imagine this takes place at the end of step 2 so they're close enough to joke around with each other lol

whatever the fuck is wrong with Demetrius is so interesting to me

he just sits there and eats

very clearly the only one not visibly freaked out by being at the same table with Donovan each other

and then when he's done, the way he sits up straight and just waits. like an automaton, like a machine awaiting orders.

what did his father do to him? how do you fuck up a twelve-year-old this much?

I think it's worth noting, too, that he's not actually ever mean to his brother. He seems aloof but he's not a bully or anything. In his (non-voice) debut chapter he

congratulates Damian on his grades without being prompted, and

acknowledges Damian's friends even though he clearly doesn't get why they're talking to him.

anyway he's my favorite side character and I can't wait to learn more about him!!!

Holy shit that’s terrifying

Is there anything that can be done??? It sounds like these people really should not be in premed

Or in college at all, if I’m being honest

Many of these classes are for older students so these people are 21-23 yrs old, calling their TAs "daddy" to their face/taking creep shots of them and slamming doors when you wont accept work thats 8 weeks late, outside of the much more serious instances of stalking and physical threats. In the past 6 months I've had two undergrads straight up say "I wish that fucking TA would just give me the answers" and another student telling me to fuck off while class was in session in front of other students. i try not to talk about this aspect of teaching to preserve some semblance of separation in my work life, but this quarter absolutely and holistically broke me.

the hardest part for me is i can still empathize. when i hear what these students go through in their classes its like...if you put people in insane situations, people will become insane too. When they have extreme expectations and are constantly critiqued, it creates a highly antagonistic relationship with learning and when you push people that hard they will often lash out at people more sympathetic/closest to them, since its the weakest "pressure overflow valve". Theres an added angle of many of them dont want to be there. There was some form of cultural or social pressure that pushed them to pursue this degree that they dont want because they feel like its the only economically viable option- which induces a lot of resentment and frustration.

another hypothesis i have is how socialization changed depending on what stage of development the pandemic hit for the person. i have to believe that these people do not understand what theyre doing. when we had the guy harassing a teacher for months on end eventually culminating in him saying he was going to go to her house and murder her, he genuinely did not understand why that was bad and not 'a super funny joke'. especially since outside of teaching, i will have people commenting "slather him in oil and put him on my table stat" or doing sex RP under videos where I'm literally just standing there doing a crafting demo- the whole concept of what is and isnt appropriate was never established for a large age demographic. its horrible, but i have to decouple the impact of those words from what i was taught to the impact of those words based on what they were never taught. to me its sickening and disturbing, but to them its just a flippant joke with no deeper meaning.

guys how do i ask people if i can teach them things because thats how i learn? 😭 like teaching other people helps me understand what i’m teaching better, idk why

but like, i have no one to teach. i’m still doing fucking high school level shit and all my friends are in uni so they already know what i’m learning, and the only family of mine thats younger than me thinks they’re better than me so won’t let me teach them 💔

like atp should i open free tutoring sessions because i JUST WANT TO TEACH

tbh as soon as I got a job that paid me enough to live and wasn't dependent on getting people to like me or listen to me most of my brain problems just went away. I spent all that time trying to convince myself they wouldn't and I should try to get them fixed regardless but then I just. Immediately became functional upon receiving a consistent schedule, boring autism tasks, and Some Money

Aren’t YOU a college student??😭

I meant I wanna be a college professor as like a career LMFAOAOAO

Alright once I figure out what fic this is I HIGHLY recommend. On AO3, starts off with a more experienced hermione teaching Draco about sex and that sort of thing as practice for Astoria who he initially likes. Then obviously he ends up liking hermione more and Astoria actually has to be the one to tell her. It was sooooo good but I've looked everywhere and can't find.

Anyone?

Edit: Thanks!

I love the magic teacher Gale headcanons (and was a personal believer in them if you look at some of my previous gale posts lol) but if you do the weave scene as a wizard (which is nice and framed as a collaboration), afterward you can ask him if he has experience teaching magic and he says that he's had a few students, but that they didn't last long because "their ineptitude irks him". He is lovely, but... those are not the makings of a teacher

The math they teach children now makes very little sense and it is so over complicated

Canon might try and tell you that America can't play the violin since England and France failed in their attempts to teach him

What canon doesn't want you to know is that it was Ireland that taught America how to handle a violin and how to fiddle

Research takes time, but for now, there is not even conclusive evidence that A.I. improves learning outcomes when compared with human teaching of older students. One study of nearly 1,000 Turkish high schoolers from researchers at the University of Pennsylvania compared two groups of students who were allowed access to different versions of OpenAI’s GPT-4 when studying for a math exam with a control group of students who had no generative A.I. resources. Students with access to generative A.I. did much better on practice tests for which they could use the A.I. But when all of the students were given an exam with no access to A.I., the control group with old-school study resources outperformed the group who studied with A.I.

Love that despite Oltyx's grumping about how every other necron around him sucks and he only likes maybe 2-3 other people, he's the one necron in canon who's had guardians and protectors from every walk of life. First his family (Djoseras, and once upon a time, Unnas), then the nobles of varying stations (e.g. Yenekh and Parreg), all the way to those of lowborn origin (Neth and Pakhet) who are dearly devoted to his well-being. Outsiders too, like Mentep and Zultanekh, not to mention every Flayed One by the end of his story!

It doesn't surprise me that the final mode of society he settles on as Valgûl is more egalitarian than literally any other necron dynasty out there. Despite the universe trying its best to crush Oltyx's ability to relate to other people out of him, Oltyx was more cared for than he let himself believe, and had more respect than he gave credit for. When it comes down to it, this was a boy who was very loved, and I'm glad he came to terms with it at the end 😭💖
