Rewrite of Harry Potter where Harry is entirely aware that he’s madly in love with Draco Malfoy and frequently references it in his narration of the series.
Who worries about what they will look like when they are older?
- Draco. He’s forever going on about how he’ll die the day a stripe of grey dulls his pristine blond head and has a diet fully planned to avoid that horrifying dad belly he dreads. Harry says he thinks he’ll look beautiful, no matter what but Draco doesn’t believe it.
Who hogs the blanket?
- It really depends on the night. Harry tosses and turns all night (old habits die hard) and it’s usually an accident when he hogs the blanket. Draco gets very cold very quickly and doesn’t really care if Harry gets much blanket at all.
Who eats the other’s uneaten pizza crusts?
- Harry’s one of those people who can eat basically anything and gain no weight so it’s no surprise that he snacks on anything and everything he can find.
Who is more likely to cry over a sad book or movie?
- Harry. He’s not so good at hiding his feelings and he’s really not embarrassed to shed a tear over a good storyline. Besides, Draco never cries (Titanic is an acception).
Who talks smack while playing video games?
- Draco gets the filthiest mouth imagineable when playing video games. Sometimes, Harry even has to warm him about his language.
Who sings along with the radio?
- Both of them. Draco can sing… Harry cannot.
Who would enter them both into a talent show?
- Possibly Harry whilst drunk but Draco would never comply.
Who would accidentally set the kitchen on fire while cooking?
- It’s common knowledge that Harry’s a star chef when it comes to Wizards so this one really goes without saying. Whether Draco’d do it by accident or out of sheer annoyance is a different story.
Who would throw the other into a pool?
- Harry would throw a (frantically refusing) Draco into a pool and then jump in, himself.
Who shops for groceries?
- Harry. Draco only shops for important things (clothes, cologne, hair gel, etc).
Who kills the spiders?
- Harry, again. Of course, Draco isn’t afraid of them, oh no. He’d just rather stand 10 feet away, on a table, when one’s spotted.
Who is the morning/night person?
- Draco thinks it is most absurd that Harry chooses to wake up early and prance about the house. He’d much rather spend his early hours sleeping, thank you very much. Harry gets (mildly) frustrated when Draco ends up falling asleep with their bedroom lamp on, a book strewn across his chest.
Who proposes?
- Harry does. He plans it all out, romantic setting, mood lighting, expensive ring and when the moment comes Draco isn’t really surprised. Harry says that because heproposed, it should be his name that’s taken. Draco Malfoy become a Potter? Pfft, he doesn’t think so. (He becomes a Potter.)
lucius: my lord, i am beginning to worry about draco. he never comes out of his room and he’s very quiet
voldemort: i shall sort him out, don’t worry
*later that night. voldemort listening at draco’s door*
draco, on a floo call: yeah he looked extra ugly today. he’s still grey. yes, harry, he still has no nose and wants to kill you. i’m aware he’s an idiot- he’s living in my house don’t you think i know that?! okay. goodnight. i love you too.
- Every year, Hogwarts hosts a Speech Competition which is open to all students wishing to gain extra credit. A speech can be on any topic, as long as it fits the school’s curriculum, and it must be 3-5 minutes long.
- Each time the challenge comes around, Harry tells himself he’s going to enter- he has a whole speech planned out and everything! But he never does. He knows there’s no point because he’d never place.
- Hermione performs, of course, and her speeches are always flawlessly constructed and written with a great sense of intelligence… but there’s someone who constantly beats her.
- Draco Malfoy waltzes onto the stage, presents his speech with perfected ease and claims first prize. Every. Single. Year.
- Harry tries to criticise Draco’s work when Hermione’s dishevelled and upset about being beaten, yet again, but he just can’t. The way Draco speaks draws the audience in immediately, to a point where one can’t physically stop listening. His voice is like a soft symphony and his content’s intriguing beyond compare.
- Unsurprisingly, Draco is disgusting cocky about all this and flaunts his winning certificate in the face of anyone who walks by him. Harry happens to be one of those unlucky people, one day.
- “Hey Potter! Look what I won,” he shoves the golden, gleaming paper directly in Harry’s line of sight, “aren’t you just so jealous? Granger must be… pity she’s just not quite good enough.”
- “Yeah, yeah, great job, Malfoy,” Harry grunts, pushing past him roughly, “if you weren’t such a prat I might consider actually caring.”
- Harry never stops mocking Draco about his strange affinity for public speaking. Some years later, when they’re gathered in a beautiful hall at their wedding reception, Draco whispers a quiet “I love you,” into his husband’s ear.
So I kinda always have this headcanon where Harry forgets the Marauder´s Map somewhere (like on his bed) and Ron finds it and wants to close it but then he sees Harry´s name in an empty classroom.
Well the classroom is empty apart from Draco Malfoy whose name is really really close to Harry´s (like really). So Ron runs to Hermione all like
“Bloody hell Hermione Harry´s having a fight with Malfoy! O_o We need to help him, look!”
So they both run, panicing that Harry makes again some stupid stuff, to that classroom .
And well, when they open the door they see HARRY FUCKING THE SHIT OUT OF DRACO MALFOY and I let you imagine the rest

[for easier reading:
It’s hard looking at the full cups I still have as the wine from the ones I’ve knocked over is still soaking into the tablecloth, running over the edge of the mahogany table, dripping onto the Aubusson rug.
Each one a failure of mine.
The Mark.
The Cabinet.
The Battle.
One by one: tipping forward slowly, losing balance completely, hitting the wood with an echoing sound.
It’s only a matter of time until my remaining cups tumble. Fate doesn’t favour sinners. Until then, Potter will keep filling them. If I’m fated as such, I may as well continue to sin.]
YES YES YES I knew you’d do such stunning angst for this one @onbeinganangel, ooh I have the shivers all over from it. Fate doesn’t favour sinners. Until then, Potter will keep filling them. If I’m fated as such, I may as well continue to sin. Oooh, yum, the wonderful play of sin and fate, of possibility and risk and loss… so so good.
Draco: Pansy, so you know how Potter is always avoiding me?
Pansy: Because you’re in love with him, yeah
Draco: I’m not in love with—anyway, I’ve thought of a new way to get his attention
Pansy: Boy, this should be fun. What is it?
Draco: I’m going to climb on a tree!
Pansy: What? Are you crazy? Getting on a tree for him, that’s actually worse than when you folded that paper-bird and sent it to him from across the classroom. If that doesn’t say desperate I don’t know what is!
Draco: So you’re saying I shouldn’t do that?
Pansy: Oh, no, I’m just saying you’re crazy, I definitely want to see how it’s gonna go though
