Ah! I'm so excited for the inevitable friendship between Draco & Ginny!!! Lowkey wishing that there's a fic where Draco is adopted by the Weasleys...
SOMEBODY MAKE THAT AND SEND IT TO ME š¤š¤š¤

EXCERPT:
Harry blinked once, twice ā then narrowed his eyes, hand obviously reaching for his wand. āRight. And what poison are you putting in the cake?ā
āFor Merlinās sake, Potterāā
āLook, I canāt be too careful with your pale arse,ā Harry cut in, jaw tightening. āFor all I know, youāre planning to be the next Dark Lord.ā
āJesus Christ,ā Draco muttered under his breath. āIām being serious. Itās a whole thing. Nowāā
āWaitāā Harry turned away from the fire and bellowed up the stairs, āGINNY! COME DOWN HERE! THE FERRETāS PLANNING HERMIONEāS BIRTHDAY!ā
Draco closed his eyes, counted to five, and wondered how quickly he could end himself with the poker beside the hearth.
From somewhere upstairs came a muffled, āWHAT THE BLOODY FUCK?ā followed by a series of thuds that could only be Ginevra Weasley hurtling down steps.
Moments later she appeared beside Potter, cheeks flushed, eyes bright with disbelief. āFerret.ā
āWeaselette.ā
āItās Potter.ā She crossed her arms. āHas been, for years now.ā
āOf course,ā Draco said blandly. āCongratulations, Weaselette. And condolences on the name change.ā
Harry shot her a look. āDonāt smile at that!ā
āIām not smiling,ā she lied, absolutely smiling.

EXCERPT:
āCouldnāt you just Floo him?ā
āItās private,ā she replied. āAnd we didnāt want Ginny listening in.ā
āThat sounds,ā Draco said thoughtfully, ālike either youāre having an illicit affairāā she rolled her eyes, āāor youāre regressing to your Hogwarts-saving days and attempting to solve a case. Should I be concerned aboutĀ trollsĀ in the vicinity?ā
Hermione laughed, partly in spite of herself, partly because he was uncomfortably close to the truth.
āWell, yes,ā she said dryly. āThereĀ isĀ a troll in our flat. Haven't you seen?ā
His laugh was warm and full, and it settled something in her chest. āDoes it, by any chance, have curly brown hair?ā
āShort and blonde, actually,ā she said.
His smile caught the light when he stepped back into view, bright and frankly unfair. She found herself wondering whether there were magical equivalents to dentists. If there were, she might need his recommendations.
āI know,ā he said solemnly. āItās a terrible burden, being me.ā
āYes,ā she agreed sweetly. āHow tragic it must be to be soĀ handsome, and funny, and so unbearably full of yourself.ā
āAh,ā he said, seizing the opportunity with enthusiasm. āSo youĀ doĀ think Iām handsome.ā
She twisted the phone cord around her finger. āEveryone knows that, you prat. But trust me ā without all the creams and potions, youād look just like the rest of us. Plain and regular.ā
He gasped in mock offence. āNow thatās uncalled for. Iāll have you know that thanks to my beautiful mother and my devastatingly handsome ā if morally questionable ā father, I wasĀ geneticallyĀ blessed.ā
āHow fortunate for you, Prince Charming.ā
Me posting/writing/thinking/existing in this economy:
Ministry drinks night was a complete disaster, can Hermione make it right with Draco?
I think itāll all work out in the end š
Dā¤ļøH
Chapter 9 out now!
ā¢
āAre you going tonight then?ā she asked quietly.
Draco looked up from his parchment, brow furrowed. āTo the pub?ā He looked alarmed she was even asking.
She nodded. āDawsonās insisting we all go. He said all departments have been invited.ā
Draco snorted. āSounds dreadful.ā
āIt definitely will be,ā she said. āBut itāll be more bearable if youāre there.ā
He studied her for a moment, then gave a small smile. āI wasnāt planning on it to be honestā¦Iām sure everyone will be thrilled when they see me there. Thatāll really cheer people up, that will, seeing me walking in.ā
Talking helps, especially when miscommunication or lack thereof threatens what only just started to bloom.
Open Heart, the penultimate chapter to Becoming Aquila is out now.
Next up: epilogue, baby.
Some people start living at 30. Before that, they were only surviving - doing what was expected, breathing without meaning, moving through years like borrowed clothes that never fit. Some people die at 20. Not in body, but in spirit. Their laughter becomes routine, their dreams shrink, and life turns into a series of obligations they never chose. Some restart at 40. After loss. After heartbreak. After realising that staying alive isnāt the same as living. They gather themselves slowly, like broken glass learning how to reflect light again. Time is a concept humans created - a calendar to make sense of chaos, a clock to convince ourselves there is order. But life doesnāt follow numbers. In the end, itās never about age. Itās about when a person finally chooses to be alive. ~ farah
Their sixth year has barely begun. Zuko and Draco are best friendsā¦ And so are their fathers. Both of whom loyally serve the Dark Lord as his Grand Banneret, with the full expectation of their son's to follow in their footsteps. Something neither Slytherin wants, but accepts nonetheless, knowing they have no choice. And then there's those two Witches. Katara and Hermione. Both captivating, brilliant, and completely out of reach. Just as they've resigned themselves to watching from afar, a spark is ignited. A spark that threatens to burn everything they've carefully built to ash. Because now, they're killers.
