Harry Potter became the true master of the Elder Wand because, somehow, both of Draco Malfoy's wands liked him enough to switch their allegiance. I can't help but wonder why.

[nasgard]

One of the most frustrating and disappointing things about being a Harry Potter fan and rereading the books as an adult is realizing that, in the end, the entire story boils down to killing Voldemort once and for all, while virtually none of the wizarding world's deeper problems are ever solved.

And no, JK, everything was NOT all right.

In most fanfics, Draco is usually the more seductive one, even if he doesn't realize he's doing it. And Harry is shy, awkward, and slow to figure out his own feelings. And I love that.

But imagine a Harry who's completely sure of himself, confidently flirting with Draco and shamelessly hitting on him with all that Gryffindor boldness. Meanwhile, Draco is utterly flustered because no one prepared him for a Potter who was this fearless and straightforward. The only reason Draco manages to resist Harry's charms is because it would be far too humiliating to give in to Potter that easily.

Harry absolutely loves making Draco blush. The moment he sees those pink cheeks, he knows he's already won, no matter how hard Draco plays to get.

Please give me more of this.

This is what Harry got in his fortune cookie.

He's still wondering whether it was a mistake or the universe trying to tell him something.

a bitter pill to swallow (Grimmauld Roommates AU)

I swear I feel physical pain every time I'm reading a fic and Harry says something to Draco like, "You tried to kill Ron!"

Seriously?

A much more accurate, canon-consistent statement would be: "Ron almost died because of you" or "Ron was poisoned as a consequence of your actions."

I'm not trying to absolve Draco of responsibility here. I'm just pointing out the obvious: Draco wasn't actually trying to kill Ron, nor was he trying to kill Katie Bell. Both incidents were the result of failed attempts to kill Dumbledore.

I can absolutely understand Ron making that kind of unfair and mistaken accusation. But Harry? Harry saying it? I swear, that bothers me on a profound level, not even because of Draco, but because it feels so out of character for Harry.

Harry clearly doesn't hate Draco after the war. In fact, I'd argue Harry hasn't even known how he feels about Draco since the Sectumsempra incident. He doesn't blame Draco for Dumbledore's death, and he definitely wouldn't claim that Draco deliberately tried to murder Ron.

Personally, I'm not even convinced Harry fully blames Draco for the Death Eaters' invasion of Hogwarts in HBP. Harry had three separate opportunities to hold Draco responsible for all of this, and he didn't take any of them: first, when he chose not to tell Dumbledore everything he had discovered; then when he gave statements to the Aurors after Dumbledore's death; and finally during the post-war trials. (Curiously, Harry favored Draco in all three instances: first through omission, then by giving a cold, sparse account that left out important details, and finally by deliberately speaking in Draco's favor.)

Now, I completely understand that some writers choose to start their stories from the premise that Harry still hates Draco after the war. That's a perfectly valid narrative choice, and while it's not my interpretation, I can absolutely see why someone might write it that way.

But having Harry say that Draco tried to kill Ron?

No. Harry would never say that.

Please don't take this as a personal attack on anyone. This is just a bit of a rant... and maybe a plea, especially to Drarry writers, to remember that Harry can have resentment, anger, guilt, and all sorts of complicated feelings about Draco and his actions during the war without actually hating him.

As a longtime Star Trek fan, I honestly don't know how it took me so long to realize that the Room of Requirement in Harry Potter is basically just a Holodeck.

Though I have to admit, the concept makes a lot more sense as a magical room in a wizarding school than as a room full of holograms on a starship.

I think we can all agree that the Holodeck has always been wildly over-the-top and completely unrealistic, but we've all accepted it because it gave us some incredibly fun episodes and some very interesting fanfiction.

Hopefully this realization expands the possibilities for Harry Potter ficwriters — especially Drarry writers — when they're brainstorming fic ideas.
