[day 13 of Microfic May: beware]

Harry doesn't mind keeping their relationship a thing only known to them and their friends.

It's not really a secret, but both of them have lost enough patience trying to dodge unwanted attention since the war has ended that it's only reasonable then that they keep their dates firmly in the muggle territory of the British Isles. Going anywhere else means planning and strategy and way too much effort to successfully avoid every vague acquaintance wishing to once again disparage the name of Malfoy—as if that's not old news—or advise Harry that he should beware of harmful influences in his midst.

He looks now to the other end of the couch: to Draco's nose buried in a book, his in-need-of-a-trim hair falling into his eyes, his body contorted into a shape that looks uncomfortable, but considering he hasn't moved in more than half an hour, it must not be.

Every couple of minutes, his hand darts upwards to push up his hair and every single time, his tome tilts, nearly falling out of his lap. Draco scowls every time, but does nothing to readjust his circumstances. Harry almost wants to shoot a bunch of sticking charms at him—one at his hair and forehead, the other at his book and knees—but this routine is too charming to fix.

He taps his thumb against Draco's ankle, where his feet are buried under Harry's thigh. Draco hums questioningly.

"Love you," Harry says, casually, as if the first time he'd said it had not almost broken them up. Now, though, they feel more solid. Draco doesn't even look up from his reading.

"Thanks," he responds instead, absentmindedly, and pokes Harry's knee with his toe.

au where in dh the gang takes draco captive

Oh I SO want a fic for this. I think it could work if Harry figures out a little earlier that Draco is the true Master of the Elder Wand and then Voldemort reads his mind so he figures it out too and Harry senses him figuring it out and is like 'oh no draco's going to die that's a horrible terrible thing that can never happen...just because then voldemort would get the elder wand and also for general humanitarian reasons obviously not because i like him or anything.'

So the whole escape sequence goes down pretty much the same way except Harry grabs Draco and takes him with them - as their prisoner (he is a Death Eater after all and can't be trusted). They drop the other rescued people off at Shell Cottage but don't take Draco there since he's not to be trusted. And now they've got a MASSIVE problem. Because what do they DO with him? Harry's still operating under the assumption he would need to kill Draco to get mastery of the Elder Wand and just taking him prisoner isn't enough, plus Voldemort definitely believes that so they can't just leave him! (Ron rolls his eyes in disgust). Meanwhile, Draco has no idea why they've taken him prisoner but once it becomes clear they aren't immediately killing him he's desperate for them to let him go so Voldemort doesn't think he has defected and murder his family as punishment. Also, he's deeply relieved to see Harry and co alive and well though he'd NEVER admit it.

They try keeping him under control in various ways, including the Imperius Curse but Harry absolutely hates doing it. Gradually a grudging truce is reached. They even get some useful information out of Draco about Bellatrix and her vault and what might be in there...and the latest security measures in place under Voldemort's rule. And what do you know? One thing leads to another and somehow they're breaking into Gringotts together and stealing a dragon. And somehow when Draco gets the chance to turn on them later he doesn't. He even gets to destroy a Horcrux in the Room of Hidden Things.

By that point Harry's ready to give Draco's wand back but decides against it since he really does need it seeing as his got lost and it does feel strangely friendly in his hand - increasingly so, in fact. And hey wait a minute. Maybe defeating someone in battle ISN'T the only way you can win control of a wand. Could this be crazy enough to work? And tldr Harry still defeats Voldemort with the powers of true love and drarry except this time he's more aware of it.

night out 💫

Old Harry Potter Art 🍁

Luna | Hermione | Pansy

I no longer use these designs anymore. I just thought they were still good to post! 👍

My Luna is biracial because I love the headcanon of Pandora as a WOC. I’ve also always seen her as tall.
