MAKE WAY FOR THE BIRTHDAY BOY!!! 🥳🎂

His friends pulled off the most basic birthday surprise move in history, and it worked. Why? Because Draco’s nothing but spoiled and thrives on attention alone.

The morning of his birthday, he expected wishes, letters, gifts, and extra fussing from his girlfriend. But they went about their day like it was any other. Draco guessed it would be one of those “let’s pretend like it’s not his birthday” (which it was) and smirked through the morning classes. By lunch, he was getting shifty. After Quidditch practice, he was proper sullen. No one was treating him special, no one remembered his day.

So, in the evening when he was randomly tackled outside his dorm with a bag over his head, he was sure he was being kidnapped. Then the blindfold was removed, the confetti’s exploded and a cake thrusted in his hands.

“Did you actually think we’ll forget?” Pansy laughed, Theo, Blaise and Potter sniggered in the background.

“My poor sullen baby!” Granger said, planting a kiss on his cheeks.

“Eyes up, loser!” Ron yelled, and a flash went off.

Yep, Draco loved being spoilt.

She Walks Amongst Us ☀️

Another amazing collab with my Dhr Artists, and this time we are walking down the runway with a flourish!

Hermione’s wearing a mix between Rahul Mishra and Miss Sohee’s Summer/Spring collection ‘24 & ‘25 respectively. Immediately fell in love with the collections and couldn’t decide which one to pick, so just mushed them together! If you like fashion, I would highly recommend checking these collections out.

Again, @panda_patronus thank you for being such a lovely host and pulling banger collabs one after the other! And to all the other artist, you never cease to surprise and inspire me! So much talent in one place!! 😭♥️

Running down the Hedge Maze 🌲

Her eyes widened and then she was doing a pleased little shimmy before she skipped over and climbed up to stand on the bench. He crouched down and—there was no other way to do this but to get his head between her legs, his hands on her thighs, her fingers around his wrists. And then he was pushing up to standing and she was letting loose a shriek and slapping her hand across his forehead as she hung on to him.

“Oh my giddy aunt,” muttered Neville as she jerked his head back but he kept hold of her legs and then she was balanced.

“Oh my Merlin, I’m so tall!” called out Pansy—

Neville was laughing—

“I can see everything! Don’t laugh, you.” She was pulling his hair. “I spend all my time looking at everyone’s backsides—”

Neville was laughing and she was tugging his head to the right—

“Go this way—”

So he did.

She steered him through the maze, yelling, “Hurry, hurry!” and then yelping when he jostled her, the muscles in her legs tensing, her fingers gripping his head. It was ridiculous—he loved it.

An Afternoon in Edinburgh ☕️🍂

The day had begun quite gloomy, hence the sudden urge for an afternoon coffee at a muggle coffee shop. They chose a quiet spot by the corner, near the large windows offering a view of the nearly empty street below.

The coffee shop itself was sparse. Not in a desolate manner, but more like it was taking a breath in between its crowded hours. They weren't going to stay long; just a coffee, some reading, and then a walk and apparate back home.

But Draco had long put his book away.

Now, the sun was on its steady path down west, turning molten gold and then shimmering orange. And Draco was lost in tracing the rays on her curls, on her lowered lashes, on her nibbled lip.

"What it's about?"

"Hm?"

"Your pick."

Draco knew what the book was about. But that was not his intentions.

"You know what's it about, Draco. You gave it to me."

"I just know the summary. What else?"

"Are you not going to read it anyway?"

"Perhaps. But I want to know your thoughts."

A sigh. Then her eyes were on him, twinkling mirthfully in the sun, and Draco felt stupidly happy.

"You just want to irritate me."

"I would never," he smiled. "Go on. What do you think?"

Hermione narrowed her eyes, sighed playfully, then proceeded to voice her thoughts, being careful to avoid spoilers because "I know you will read it".

And Draco listened, leaning in closer, basking in the warmth of her attention, while the world at large blurred around them in a golden haze.

What a delightful thing your mind is, @panda_patronus because it was perhaps my most favourite collab so far! ♥️ Though, I have a feeling that you just secretly wanted us to practice more BG 👀

Seriously though, so fun, and again, felt lovely to be part of something so charming! ♥️✨

If you haven’t already, the original reel is posted in @panda_patronus’s insta account so do go check it out to see the other artists’ amazing works! Ly!

Dronarry Fest Week 2026: Week Three Masterpost

Week three of Dronarry Fest 2026 is in the bag! Catch up on the latest amazing works here, and tune in next week for our final posts!

🎨 In All Your Colours | @slytherinscars | 6.3K | T Years after the war, Harry’s unsatisfying life as an Auror is turned on its head when Draco Malfoy revives an ancient pureblood custom to make a surprise proposal to Ron. Is Harry about to lose the most important person to him in the world, or is his world about to get just a little bit bigger?

⌚ Best Laid Plans | @coppercatbird | 17.9K | E Draco is sick of Harry just being an occasional shag. He’s also sick of Harry always flirting with the Weasel. But Draco has a plan: a cursed bracelet that makes the wearer have the hots for the first person they see. He’ll get Harry to put it on and look at him. What could go wrong?

🌞 Long Hard Summer | @so-scarlett-maroon with art by @midnightbrushes | 12.5K | E When Draco, Ron, and Harry all end up in one room for the entire summer, Draco was sure none of them were very happy about it. He certainly wasn't thrilled to be sharing a room with his two very fit, very loved-up team-mates.

👔 Double, Double, Draco's In Trouble | @lexi-leckstar (original story by skotini) | 1 h 13 m | M After the war Draco Malfoy, Charms Professor, has a calm life as a Hogwarts teacher. But there have been some changes at school this year, and now he’s caught between two equally handsome Gryffindor Professors - Potter, the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor who sets schoolgirls giggling, and Weasley, all rugged charm and sun-kissed skin from his Care of Magical Creatures work.

⛺ Warmth to Go Around | @unsightlypearl | 53.3K | E The Minister for Magic sends Harry Potter, Auror; Ron Weasley, Healer; and Draco Malfoy, Magical Cartographer, to the Tian Shan mountains on a delicate assignment: map the leyline system beneath the Inylcheck Glacier.

🦉 How Beloved | @dodgerkedavra | 14.9K | E The hard part was supposed to be over.

He was a king cursed by blood. She was the woman he loved across centuries. In 1460s Romania, war and dark magic cost Draco everything—now, in the modern world, Hermione Granger is haunted by dreams of a life she never lived and a man she shouldn’t remember.

It's finally here! This is the fic for which @midnightbrushes made that amazing fanart you see up there. It's my Dramione Dracula AU that's basically blending Dracula, Dracula: Untold, The Invitation, Dracula (2025), and a little bit of Jane Eyre all into one.

Just posted the first chapter on AO3!

Next month will be crazy for me, so I won't be able to post, but hopefully in April, we'll see Chapter 2.

We have come such a loooong way for this exchange and now I can finally get to read the promised fic! I know I already posted this but I am just so eager about the story that Ella’s writing that I had to go ahead and try something more. Also, a bit of dabbling in the so called ‘animation’ department? Not bad, eh?

Anyway! Do stay tuned for This Life Or Any Other by @inastarlesssky — one of the sweetest person I have come across! Lots of love to you!

This Life Or Any Other is coming to Ao3 this March!

The Handler 🕶️

In my humble opinion, the only reason Blaise Zabini became The Golden Girl’s handler is because he wanted to go easy on the other guys vying for Hermione’s attention. But also, you know how you can have someone’s special attention? You become their handler😎😉

I’m kidding! Or am I?😏 You gotta find out for yourselves, so STAY TUNED FOR @scarreadsss Magically Yours on AO3!!! Subscribe to her AO3 for more updates!! 🤩🤩🤩

This was an experience like NEVER before! The gc, the jokes, the butt dial, the hype, and let’s not forget the race to claim! Haha it was one of the most FUN collab ever! Can’t wait for the fic and till then… shout out to @scarreadsss and all the artists for this monster of a collab! ❤️✨

No Secrets, No Masks 🎭

Come find me in another world,

This one’s far too crude,

Where your love won’t be poison;

My caress won’t be cruel.

I’ll wait there beyond the horizon;

Just a few breath apart.

Finally our love will be tender,

This time — no secrets, no masks.
