For the @hd-kidfic-fest

Summary:  Harry had expected a few things when returning for his Eighth Year. Rooming with Ron, a cheeky Firewhisky down at the pub, leaving his assignments to the last minute – those were all but certain to occur.

His list of certainties definitely hadn’t included McGonagall’s shake-up of the curriculum, which tasked the Eighth Years with the responsibility of parenthood for three weeks. Caring for a baby Transfigured from a sack of flour would have been alright if: 1) Malfoy wasn’t Harry’s assigned partner, 2) Their baby’s one goal in life wasn’t to spite Harry, and 3) Malfoy wasn’t infuriatingly good at fake parenthood.

Tags: Hogwarts Eighth Year, Ridiculousness, Temporary Children, Mild themes of child loss, A baby that lives to spite Harry, Teenagers being dramatic, Humor, Fluff, Getting Together, Draco Malfoy is Good with Children, featuring that one Home Ec unit that everybody hated, Everyone collectively losing their minds over babies made from flour

Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to read the fics (or admire the art), comment, kudos, reblog posts, alpha/beta read, or spread the word - your support means the world.

And of course, thank you a million times over to the amazing authors and artists who all worked so hard on their contributions. The fest literally couldn't have happened without you. You're the best!

ART/COMIC: moonlit, gleaming starlight

Artist: Anonymous  Prompt: 76, prompted by IzRoan Rating: Teen Warnings/Triggers: Graphic depictions of violence, creator chose not to use archive warnings Summary:

A little boy found himself vulnerable one night. Then a werewolf attack occurred, and his life was no longer the same. Nevertheless, Remus Lupin was there to catch him, and years later, Harry Potter too.

FIC: I’ll keep you (safe and sound)

Author: Anonymous Prompt: 68, prompted by Fate Rating: Explicit Word Count: 13,444 Warnings/Triggers: No archive warnings apply Summary:

“Good…morning? Draco?” Harry looks back and forth between them. “What’s going on?” “I’m helping,” Draco says with a shrug, like that makes any sense at all. He and Draco don’t do…this. This domestic sort of thing. Not that Harry doesn’t like it. He just didn’t think Draco did. --- Harry takes temporary custody of Teddy while Andromeda's comatose at St Mungo's after an accident, and Draco, his something-with-benefits, shows up unexpectedly to help.

[hd-kidfic-fest]

FIC: Gemini in Retrograde

Author: Anonymous Prompt: 93 Rating: Teen Word Count: 38,851  Warnings/Triggers: None apply Summary:

Draco Malfoy doesn’t understand his son. Scorpius Malfoy doesn’t understand his father. It’s going to take more than one disastrous, body-swapping curse to change that.

[hd-kidfic-fest]

FIC: Scorpius Malfoy's matchmaking service for dads in denial

Author: Anonymous Prompt: 1 Rating: Teen Word Count: 22,028  Warnings/Triggers: Per the author: “A nudity scene at the end, but nothing explicit” (no archive warnings apply) Summary:

When Draco Malfoy moves houses with his son, Scorpius, the last thing he expects is to become next-door neighbours with Harry Potter. As the two men spend more and more time together, an unlikely friendship takes root, occasionally spurred on by a mischievous Scorpius. However, there is no way Draco will ever admit to his feelings for Potter having become anything more than platonic. Harry, on the other hand, is in no denial regarding his own feelings for Draco. Can a little meddling from an eight-year-old boy be what these two men are in need of?

[hd-kidfic-fest]

ART: Egg-cellent!

Artist: Anonymous  Prompt: 8, prompted by apricitydays Rating: Not rated (one swear word, but otherwise the content is completely safe for work) Warnings/Triggers: None apply Summary:

Eighth Years Modified Syllabus has a new subject called "Care for Magical Child", and because of this new (un)wanted addition, Harry is now stuck with two babies in his hand. If you hear him saying he hates it, know that he is lying. Featuring cute baby egg Archibald and cute big baby Draco Malfoy who just wants to sleep!

[hd-kidfic-fest]

FIC: in sickness and in health

Author: Anonymous Prompt: 62 Rating: Teen Word Count: 8,247  Warnings/Triggers: None apply Summary:

No one told Draco that parenthood would involve so many sick days. Or vomit. Or: 5 times Scorpius gets sick and 1 time Scorpius and Harry get sick.

[hd-kidfic-fest]

FIC: Bumblebees fly anyway

Author: Anonymous Prompt: 40, prompted by Squibnation10 Rating: Teen Word Count: 4,134 Warnings/Triggers: None apply Summary:

Harry and Draco love their son, who has just turned seven. He hasn't shown any signs of magic yet, and their friends are concerned. But Scorpius is healthy, and they're sure there's nothing wrong with him.

[hd-kidfic-fest]

FIC: Shaped By You

Author: Anonymous Prompt: 50, prompted by @arminaa8 Rating: Mature Word Count: 22,187 Warnings/Triggers: Description of a terminal illness and minor character death (no archive warnings apply) Summary:

Draco finds himself drowning in grief after Astoria passes away. It's only Scorpius and a newly developed friendship with Harry that keeps him afloat. But things become complicated when Draco develops feelings.

FIC: Teddy's Cottage Carol

Author: Anonymous Prompt: 13, prompted by @apricitydays-lazynights Rating: General Word Count: 12,801 Warnings: No archive warnings/triggers apply Summary:

Teddy Lupin is on a mission to plan the best Christmas ever with Nan and Harry. This means an abundance of lights, greenery, and, most importantly, carols! Carols sung with Teddy at the piano, carols with his closest family next to him, carols that remind them all why they’re fortunate to be together. It all looks on track for success, until Harry starts spending precious time with a new friend and his son. As Christmas draws near and plans change, Teddy must confront his own ideas about the definition of family and what it might mean for him and his loved ones.
