Back at Hogwarts for his Eight Year, Draco finds himself in need of a quiet place where he could hide when everything feels too much. He finds a perfect nook not far from the castle but it turns out it's already taken...

I cannot even express how excited I am to finally be able to share this comic with you!!

I hope y'all will like it - It's a story that had been on my mind for quite some time now and it merged into the longest dreville comic I have ever drawn.

Thank you so much @veelawings for bringing back the @chubbynevillefest and for giving me a reason to finish it! And endless thanks to @pineau-noir for helping me polish those dialogues into their absolute best versions!

Neville Longbottom!

Neville, I feel, routinely takes the moral high ground in the books when in tough situations, and somehow seems to get less recognition in school than anyone. I just want to give him a big ol’ hug! Here’s to all of those under-the-radar people who make the world a better place <3

Are there any resources you'd recommend for writers who aren't familiar with writing chubby characters? I love A Guide For Skinny Writers Who Want To Write Fat Characters by Sarah Hollowell (sorry I can't link).

A Guide For Skinny Writers Who Want To Write Fat Charactersis a great resource, thanks for the contribution! 

Here are some further resources for authors:

Dragon’s Clover (and Other Discoveries)

Written for @chubbynevillefest!

Pairing: Draco/Neville Rating: Teen and Up Word Count: 5,888 Summary: Draco needs another rare potion ingredient and, even though he’s more than capable of collecting rare plants himself, he still calls on Neville to assist him. It seems like it’s just going to be like every other time, Draco flirting ridiculously, Neville brushing it off because it doesn’t mean anything, but then Draco lets slip something that changes everything in Neville’s eyes.

Excerpt:

“I know you think I’m the best Herbologist in the world, but I really can’t keep up with every stray rumour about rare plants.”

Draco lifted his chin as he looked at him, a gesture that was familiar from school. “Well you should,” he said shortly. “You’re my supplier for all things rare and difficult to obtain.”

Neville almost laughed. Maybe once, but now Draco came with him every time he went hunting down his latest demand, and he often knew more about it than Neville did. It had been painfully obvious for a long time now that Draco was more than capable of hunting down and harvesting rare herbological potion ingredients himself.

Neville just hadn’t found the courage to say anything about it yet because then he’d have to address the reason Draco kept dragging him along. He wasn’t quite ready to find out if Draco’s obvious interest in him was merely physical or if it was something more.

Just like he wasn’t ready to admit he was rather fond of the silly prat in a way that had long since surpassed their odd friendship.

Just like he was nowhere near ready to admit to Draco, if it came to it, that he had absolutely no experience with anyone and was bound to be an utter disappointment in that regard.

Draco’s hand slipped away from his back as they reached the beginning of the woods nearby. Neville tried not to miss it.
