The Whirling Ways of Stars That Pass

Created for @hpanimagusfest​ ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

Being a polar bear Animagi makes Harry crave holidays and time in icy places like Iceland and the North Pole, which is why he and Draco decide to spend their first holiday together to see the beautiful Northern Lights. There’s just one tiny problem: Draco hates the cold.

That’s okay though. He can get warm cuddling in his lover’s soft fur.

Title borrowed from The Theory of Everything original soundtrack.

Might I request any holds on Animagi or animal transformation fics. Please and thank you.

Hello! Your holds have arrived! This was such a fun idea for a list and made even better by the recent @hpanimagusfest

🦉🦊 Have you heard the call of the wild? Maybe these fics can help you find your wild side! 🐯🐍

Animagus Fics

talk is hard (running is easy) by @candybarrnerd (773 words, not rated)

They don’t talk about it. Harry transfigures into a wolf, and he waits in the forbidden forest. He never has to wait long before he’s met by a fox.

"Who's the Best Boy? Oh, Yes, You Are!" by @vukovich (2,159 words, rated G)

Harry had some pettings and scritches to give, and it turned out Pansy's furry friend wanted them; along with Harry's sandwich.

Secret Heart by alaana_fair (4,139 words, rated E)

Draco had long ago admitted to himself that he'd fallen in love with the tiger, but he still refused to admit that he'd fallen in love with the man. That admission would simply cost too much.

Mamba Dance by Lomonaaeren (4,168 words, rated T) 

Harry has to reveal to his fellow Aurors, long before he meant to, that he’s a black mamba Animagus. After the reveal, most of them are scared and avoiding him—except , oddly, for Draco Malfoy.

as the crow flies by saltwatergarden (5,453 words, rated T)

Harry Potter is a lot of things - hero of the Wizarding World, best friend to Auror extraordinaire Ron Weasley and certifiable genius Hermione Granger, heir to the Sleekeazy potions empire. He is also an Animagus, like his father and godfather before him. Problem is, he hasn't quite mastered the task of transforming back into his human form. Bigger problem is, he's just been captured by Draco Malfoy's owl.

The Beauty of Trees by @penmaries (8,136 words, rated M)

Draco requires Potter's help; to his dismayed annoyance, Potter's help entails trampling around in a forest.

Harry Potter and the Mysterious Snowy Owl Affair by @ladderofyears (8,681 words, rated T)

Harry Potter is the newly promoted Head Officer for the Department of Magical Creature Regulation, and he is passionate about his work protecting vulnerable animals who can't advocate for themselves. An added benefit of the job is the close relationship that he had developed with his colleague, Wizengamot prosecution barrister Draco Malfoy. Harry's life is happy and he feels satisfied with his place in the world. Abruptly, Harry's happy existence is thrown into disarray when a small snowy owl starts dropping tip-offs about magical creature crimes to Grimmauld Place. Harry isn't sure what to think. Is his benefactor a friend or foe? Why are they making such stringent efforts to conceal their identity? Draco doesn't seem concerned, but Harry can't help but feel intrigued by the mystery. Who is the wizard behind the owl?

Running Up That Hill by hazel_wand (12,778 words, rated M)

Harry had spent the first years after the war waiting and trying to fall in love with Ginny and had been unable to. It had turned out all right, sort of. Ginny had settled down with the Harpies’ Seeker and Harry, well, Harry had Draco. Sometimes.

To Tame a Kitten (is to love) by @tsauergrass rass (13,883 words, rated G)

After the war, Harry finds solace in fostering orphaned kittens. One day, a kitten appears on his door step without explanation—and attacks him! Taking it in, he quickly finds that this kitten is nothing ordinary.

The Last of What the World Left You by @xanthippe74 (25,153 words, rated T)

If the wizarding world won’t give Draco a second chance, he has a plan to survive: live in his Animagus form, a carrion crow, in the Forbidden Forest. Not only does Harry Potter come along and ruin it, he’s radiating a strange aura of power that Draco should probably fear, but doesn’t. With nowhere to go and a Life-Debt to his mother that Potter insists on repaying, Draco puts himself into the hands of the reclusive Boy Who Lived. Will the bleak corner of Yorkshire where Potter makes his home be another dead end or an unexpected refuge?

All Roads by @korlaena (36,636 words, rated M)

Draco hates his job at the Prophet. He hates it even more when he’s assigned to write an article on Harry Potter, who left the country three years ago after their falling out. Draco doesn’t want to face the truth about himself, but he’s stuck between Harry and his duty, and he’s out of options.

❤️ As always, if you find a fic you enjoy, please remember to leave the author a kudos or a comment! ❤️

Lots of Love and Happy Reading!

P.S. You can find these fics and the other lists been recommended in my AO3 Sub-collections!

Summary: If the wizarding world won’t give Draco a second chance, he has a plan to survive: live in his Animagus form, a carrion crow, in the Forbidden Forest. Not only does Harry Potter come along and ruin it, he’s radiating a strange aura of power. With nowhere to go and a Life-Debt to his mother that Potter insists on repaying, Draco puts himself into the hands of the reclusive Boy Who Lived. Will the bleak corner of Yorkshire where Potter makes his home be another dead end or an unexpected refuge?

This fic drew me in gently and kept me screwed to my seat as I kept reading Xan's gorgeous prose. This fic aches, with the kind of heartache that comes after a tragic loss and after the pain of war. We meet a Harry and a Draco who are each out of hope, ready to sacrifice everything to be angry and sad and alone. Instead, they find solace in each other. Here are just a few things I loved:

✮ Powerful and unusual characterizations of both Harry and Draco. Harry has this new power as the Master of Death and it scares him (and me, too). This has led him to isolate from everyone he loved. At first sight, Draco cuts through the wrongness, seeing him through his crow-Animagus eyes in a way no human could.

"As he stepped closer, I felt the magic pouring off of him, thick and molten. I flapped my wings once, but only managed to hop backwards a bit, as if I was caught in his gravity like a moon."

✮ Painstakingly believable enemies-to-lovers. These two men are so sad! They have so much anger towards each other, which they are all-too-willing to fling out. And yet they are so desperate to be loved again, and so, bit by bit, word by word, Xan has crafted a careful, balanced, equal relationship in which they can come to find each other.

"Whether he moved away from surprise or repulsion, he didn’t say anything about it, instead carrying the food to the cupboards. The gifts he took upstairs without opening them."

✮ Beautiful interpretation of so many beloved tropes. Only one bed, down-and-out Draco, MoD!Harry, sharing a safehouse, Hallows magic, pets, the life debt: each of these thoughtfully reinterpreted and presented in a way that feels so fresh and so true to this relationship.

"In truth, I didn’t want to be tempted, now that I knew that if I reached for him beneath the covers, he’d meet me halfway."

This fic is stunning, raw and emotional, rich in detail and utterly beautiful. It refuses to shy away from intense moments and the hard bits of living, and in doing so, felt so emotionally genuine from the first word to the last.

"Two months ago, I had found myself alone at the end of the road I’d been on since the war ended, out of good options and driven by despair. Somehow, the step I was about to take now felt much more momentous, more frightening, and yet I barely hesitated."

Author Notes: Submission from my very first fest - @hpanimagusfest 2021! Thank you @gracerene09 for a lovely prompt. This is my longest work to date, and it was a festival of emotions to write!

"In the end, in some strange way, I think it took losing Sirius for your dad to finally accept that, to realize he had given a piece of his heart to him, regardless of whether or not he truly believed he had a heart worth sharing."

Despite what it originally seemed, Teddy has inherited his father's lycanthropy. Things are very different for Teddy, but perhaps not always in the best way.

James Sirius Potter loves his best friend Teddy and just wants to do what he can to care for him, even if it's dangerous.

A coming of age story beginning with Teddy's third year at Hogwarts and ending with James' final year. A story in which Harry does his absolute best as a godfather, Teddy struggles to accept himself, and James flies.

Fic Claim: The Owl in Myth and Magic

Draco Malfoy has a secret, and if he wants to keep it that way, he’s going to have to show Hermione Granger how to have one too.

Even if it is a secret so complex and dangerous that they’re going to have to spend more time together than either of them had planned for their eighth year of Hogwarts…

Thankfully, the lovely mods gave me some extra time to get it finished and edited into something close to my original vision for the story (albeit much, much longer). I’m excited to be a part of the fest and I hope those reading will enjoy my entry. Endless thanks to the brilliant @malenkayacherepakha for the meticulous beta work and support.

There was a hiss to his right. It was him. Potter. The adder with the lightning bolt on his back. Draco nearly cried with relief.

“Potter, thank fuck, let me - oh,” Draco said, once he had crawled underneath the stone, into the crevice where Potter was hiding. It was soaked in blood, just like the rest of the room, and the blood was coming from slashes on Potter’s white, scaly belly. Draco picked the snake up and cradled it to his chest. It wrapped itself weakly around his arm and nestled up to the warmth of Draco’s body, barely moving.

“That’s right,” Draco said, trying his best to sound comforting. The snake’s heart beat against his palm, unbearably precious. Draco’s cheeks were wet.

Title: Hibou Author: worldcrawler @worldcrawlerhp Rating: Explicit Word Count: 15,075 Pairing: Hermione Granger/Draco Malfoy Prompt: #77 Summary:

"Draco Malfoy had squared with the fact that he rarely succeeded in things at first. His whole life could be read as a series of failures that eventually became successes.

It was no surprise then, in retrospect, that he had failed to become an animagus not once, but twice before finally succeeding."

This is a story about failure and understanding, about success and honesty, and about two idiots in love trying to solve two very different mysteries - brought together through a series of chance encounters in the highland forests.
