Headcanon: 8th year + Draco (the ferret) + Harry (the oblivious) = Drarry
Mostly every 17 year old decides to go back to Hogwarts after the war, including Draco and Harry
There are some who are still angry at Draco for what him and his family did, so they end up dueling Draco and he somehow gets turned back into a ferret and left like that
Harry finds him and decides to keep him cause fuck it. Itâs cute and lonely and it reminds him a bit of Hedwig
He carries Draco (as a ferret) around with him everywhere; on his shoulder, in his pocket, etc
Harry tells that ferret everything cause he canât seem to talk to people normally now that heâs the âsavior of the Wizarding Worldâ and all and he thinks the ferret canât understand a thing
Draco ends up falling head over heels in love with this boy. Just the way he cares for everyone and how he survived all that he did... heâs so brave...
A couple days later, Harry realizes that Draco hasnât been around in a while. He asks around and apparently no one else knows either
Draco tries giving Harry clues that he is, in fact, the ferret in his pocket, but to no avail because Harry, being Harry, is a clueless dunderhead
In transfiguration class one day, the class is turning their pets into something and Harry tries doing the spell on the ferret, and it turns back into Draco
âITâS ABOUT DAMN TIME POTTER!!â
Harryâs embarrassed cause he realizes he has told Draco everything about himself from the trauma of his childhood to his nightmares about the war and Dracoâs gonna tell everyone...
The next morning he goes down to breakfast, ready for the laughing and jarring, but no one says a thing? Itâs like a completely regular morning
As soon as he sees Harry, Draco runs up to him and asks him if they can talk, so they step out into the corridor and as soon as their alone, Draco wraps Harry in a hug
âIâm so sorry for what you had to go through...â
And Harry just starts bawling. He flings his arms around Draco and is sobbing into his shoulder
âShhhh... Itâs alright, Harry. Iâm here. Everythingâs going to be okay.â
They end up being really great friends and then Draco gets up the courage to ask Harry out on a date
Harry is SO confused, but he agrees anyway cause fuck it. Dracoâs cute and Iâm lonely
And no one is at all surprised when they walk into the Great Hall the next week hand in hand
