There's nothing you can do, Harry....he's gone

Hello from your resident Gryffindors this is a blog dedicated to our wonderful Marauders and everything else Harry Potter

[marauders4evr]

Do you know what pains me?

Sirius didn’t know that the Dursleys were abusive.

At the end of Prisoner of Azkaban, he automatically assumes that Harry would rather live with them than with him. In the Goblet of Fire, Harry writes to him about Dudley’s video games and diet habits but never explicitly mentions anything about being abused. Even when he gets to Grimmauld Place in the Order of the Phoenix, he expresses his anger at not receiving information and though we know that he was also emotionally exhausted from spending another summer at an abusive household, he never discloses it. In fact, seeing as how he protected Dudley, Sirius could just as well be under the impression that the two were very close.

And I hate this so much because Sirius Orion Black grew up in an abusive household and if he had known for a single second that his godson was facing the same thing that he had faced, he would have really blown up a street in an attempt to get to Privet Drive and rescue Harry.

And it also breaks my heart because you know that Harry knew this which meant that he was more worried about his godfather’s safety and freedom than he was his own health.

[pottergerms]

in the train on their way to their 6th year, *i*f Draco was in love with Harry, why do you suppose he beat him up? (I just want other opinions. idk I was thinking maybe bc he didn't want to face his sexuality, but what do u think?)

Hello, Anon! That’s a great question, you know?

I think that moment is painful to watch (or read), because it’s full of signs of all the shit that’s about to go down. But if we laugh about it, we can’t cry, right? Right???

So anyway, let’s get this party started, shall we?

An idea had just occurred to him, a reckless but potentially wonderful idea… in a minute’s time, Zabini was going to re-enter the Slytherin sixth-year compartment and Malfoy would be sitting there, thinking himself unheard by anybody except fellow Slytherins…

Harry, could you be more daft? *Chandler Bing’s voice*

So here’s exactly when his behaviour goes from slightly curious to psychotically obsessed. It’s not a pretty picture. Harry doesn’t even understand how inappropriate it is to do what he’s doing, even though his friends warn him.

…nobody else seemed prepared to take Harry’s suspicions seriously, so it was down to him to prove them.

See? That’s when it begins. Harry Potter, the Stalker-Who-Lived.

*Every Breath You Take playing softly in the background*

Anyway, that sets the scene nicely. Harry is already sure Draco’s up to something, so he thinks, in his flawless logic, that it’s ok to eavesdrop on someone else’s conversation.

But you know what’s the most impressive thing (that keeps me up at night)? Draco suspects Harry is there from practically the moment he gets in the compartment, but he talks about Voldemort anyway.

Some might say he wanted Harry to know he had a mission. And he does that several times that year, in fact. He makes it kind of obvious something is VERY WRONG, because he’s a 16 yo boy terrified of his own shadow, and he’s waiting for help, any help.

Doesn’t that make the Sectumsempra 10x more devastating? It does! I love suffering. Thanks, JKR!

Zabini, still clinging on to the handle, toppled over sideways into Gregory Goyle’s lap…

Oh boy, that’s something I wouldn’t mind seeing in the movies. Sorry, going on a tangent here.

Anyways, what do you do when you suspect your Archenemy™ is spying on you? Well, you make him jealous! That’s how it works… isn’t it? Normal behaviour!

Malfoy, sniggering, lay back down across two seats with his head in Pansy Parkinson’s lap. Harry lay curled uncomfortably under the Cloak to ensure that every inch of him remained hidden, and watched Pansy stroke the sleek blond hair off Malfoy’s forehead, smirking as she did so, as though anyone would have loved to have been in her place.

Heheh Harry, let me tell you something. This is not something people notice about other people, unless they’re jealous. Ok? This. Is. Not. Normal.

Also, keep in mind Malfoy suspects Harry is there. That is too funny! I just can’t. I CAN’T. HBP is priceless.

“– and Longbottom, Potter and that Weasley girl,’ finished Zabini.Malfoy sat up very suddenly, knocking Pansy’s hand aside.

‘He invited Longbottom?’

‘Well, I assume so, as Longbottom was there,’ said Zabini indifferently.

‘What’s Longbottom got to interest Slughorn?’

Zabini shrugged.

‘Potter, precious Potter, obviously he wanted a look at the Chosen One,’ sneered Malfoy, ‘but that Weasley girl! What’s so special about her?’

‘A lot of boys like her,’ said Pansy, watching Malfoy out of the corner of her eyes for his reaction.

HA HA HA HA HA

First of all, Draco loses his cool when he finds out Neville and Ginny were invited to Slughorn’s compartment. Not precious Harry, though. I swear, Draco has “You could do better, Potter! You could do me!” written on his forehead.

But the best thing ever is when he badmouths Ginny, because if you link that with him yelling at her in CoS, it’s just so obvious he’s jealous. He’s ridiculous. And Pansy watching for his reaction? At that point, everyone in Hogwarts knows Ginny likes Harry (everyone but Harry himself, because he’s slow as fuck). I wonder why Draco would care. Hm…

Harry was so busy staring at Malfoy he did not notice Goyle reaching up for his trunk;

When you’re so busy staring at someone, and not because they’re saying anything suspicious anymore, you’re just staring, that you don’t notice someone right beside you (and not a small someone), and you also miss when they raise a hand and pull a fucking trunk from beside you… you might have a problem, my friend.

Again: not normal in the slightest.

Pansy left. Now Harry and Malfoy were alone in the compartment.

(…)

Malfoy moved over to the compartment door and let down the blinds, so that people in the corridor beyond could not peer in.

I swear, when I first read that, I knew shit would go down.

(I thought it would be sexual shit, but well… that’s the trash talking!)

And shit does, indeed, go down. Draco sends a good old Petrificus Totalus and Harry falls like the stupid little bugger he is.

He couldn’t move a muscle; he could only gaze up at Malfoy, who smiled broadly.

Gaze. Gazing up at someone because they’re smiling. HAHAHAHA you’re so gay, Harry! Sorry, going on another tangent right there.

*takes deep breath*

Anyway, back to the bullshit!

He considered Harry for a moment.

‘You didn’t hear anything I care about, Potter. But while I’ve got you here…’

And he stamped, hard, on Harry’s face. Harry felt his nose break; blood spurted everywhere.

‘That’s from my father. Now, let’s see…’

Malfoy dragged the Cloak out from under Harry’s immobilised body and threw it over him.

‘I don’t reckon they’ll find you till the train’s back in London,’ he said quietly. ‘See you around, Potter… or not.’

And taking care to tread on Harry’s fingers, Malfoy left the compartment.

Let’s consider Harry with him, because it matters:

Draco is sporting a fresh dark mark; he’s really angry with Harry, because his father is in prison; he’s got Harry alone and completely vulnerable.

Yet he doesn’t even think about turning him in to the Dark Lord. He just doesn’t. He’s so mad at Harry for eavesdropping, for sending his father to jail, for putting his mother in danger, for being there to make his life complicated. But it just doesn’t cross his mind.

If that’s not the hugest indicative he’s not evil, I don’t know what is.

Also, you might say breaking someone’s nose is bad enough, but for the amount of anger involved (and let’s remember, Draco is also terrified), just a little nose breaking is taking it easy.

And it sounds so petty, doesn’t it? So much dark shit is going on and Draco is hoping Harry will go back to London (when we know he would be able to return to Hogwarts easily if he wanted to). It’s just so childish, so innocent.

Unfortunately, Harry is too slow to read the signs here, to be sure that whatever Draco’s going through, he’s being forced to do it. Because Draco still behaves like a child, he still breaks his rival’s nose, when in fact he could get him killed for real.

(And let’s not forget Draco actually saves Harry when he’s in real danger.)

So back to your question: I don’t think Draco even had time to deal with his sexuality. My opinion is that they had no understanding of their feelings up to that point, because let’s face it, life was too insane for that. 

Draco was always jealous of the people around Harry and Harry was always obsessed with knowing everything about Draco, but they didn’t really read anything into it until that point. Because they’re both stupid as fuck.

But I do think it’s an important moment for them, to show us Draco’s not really evil. To show us he could have redemption. And also, to show us Harry doesn’t learn from his mistakes and keeps on being a dumbshit.

Things that Potterheads hate about the movies:

1. The movies never brought up Neville potentially being the Chosen One as well. 2. ‘HARRY DID YA PUT YER NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIYAH?!’ he asked calmly. 3. The movies never showed Rita Skeeter as an animagus. 4. They brought back Dobby just to kill him. 5. Ginny. 6. Where is Sassy Potter? I mean, ‘No need to call me sir, professor.’ THIS IS GOLD. 7. Padma Patil is a Gryffindor in the movies, but a Ravenclaw in the books. ??? 8. Harry’s hair is NEAT most of the time in the movies. 9. 'You have your mother’s eyes.’ 10. Draco’s Dementor attack on Harry in third year. 11. Voldemort’s death was so quick! Like, really? Seven and a half movies leading up to a five-minute death scene??

Am I missing anything?

[remusthemoongod]

12. Harry being completely stoic after he cast 'Sectumsempra' during his bathroom duel with Malfoy.

[marauders4evr]

Harry Potter AU where Harry is hiding in the cabinet in Borgin and Burkes. And he sees Lucius grab Draco with his cane. And he hears the hiss, “What did I tell you?” And he hears the quiver in the blonde boy’s voice, “Don’t touch anything.”

And Harry knows.

Because he’s used the voice that Draco uses for the past twelve years.

He knows.

Because now that he’s lived with the Weasleys for over a month, he knows that that’s not the way that a father’s voice should be.

He knows.

He’s heard Vernon use that voice over and over again, day after day, year after year.

And he knows.

And he acts.

Because really other than being a spiteful little git, at this point, Draco really hasn’t done anything to truly harm Harry. And Harry’s twelve. He’s still young, still innocent, easy to forgive, easy to let his “saving people thing” get the better of him.

He doesn’t do magic. Not really. At least, he doesn’t mean to. Well, he does. But he tries to stop himself. Though it’s not a very good attempt. Either way, the jars on the shelves all shatter, their contents falling onto Lucius’ head.

And Harry bursts out of the cabinet and he grabs a very startled Draco’s hand and he pulls him out of the shop. And they’re running down the dark, grim, streets. And it’s not long before they get lost since Harry doesn’t even know where they are, let alone where they’re going.

But Draco knows exactly where they are and so he tugs Harry down a road and around the corner and suddenly, they’re in Diagon Alley. And Harry’s shocked and confused because how could such a terrible place exist next to such a wonderful one?

But they don’t have time for that now because Lucius is charging after them, green spells bursting out of the end of his wand. And Draco lets out a scream and Harry (bless him) wonders aloud what kind of spells the green ones are.

And Draco is tugging his arm so hard that he thinks it’s going to come out of his socket. And the boys run as fast as they can, pushing through the crowd, and Harry’s probably apologizing and Draco’s screaming at him to move and apologize later.

And Harry sees the mob of red heads and he’s screaming for their assistance.

Fred and George spot him first, right as their mother is asking, “Where on earth could Harry be?”

“Found him,” the twins say.

Gasps. Screams. School supplies tumbling to the ground.

And Arthur and Molly, oh Arthur and Molly, veterans of the original Order of the Phoenix, drawing their strength from parental love, they don’t even hesitate. They grab Harry and Draco and Ron and Hermione and Ginny and Fred and George and Percy and they shove them into the nearest shop.

And the kids are all huddled together, Percy and the twins standing in front of the younger ones, and it’s Ron who manages to whisper, “What’s Malfoy doing here?” Before Hermione stomps on his foot.

And the duel!

The duel is fantastic.

Arthur and Molly verses Lucius.

Just close your eyes and imagine.

And soon Arthur is able to summon other Ministry workers. Including a strange looking man with a strange eye, a man whose skin is slightly darker than Hermione’s, and a girl with bright pink hair who is barely older than Percy.

The battle’s over before it even begins. These strange new people grab Lucius and Apparate away and of course he’ll buy himself out of trouble in no time but at least the immediate threat is gone.

Gilderoy Lockhart timidly steps out and squeaks that it’s a shame that he wasn’t there to stop the duel, that he knew just the hex that could have finished it.

The crowd falls into the streets, praising Arthur and Molly who are quite flustered by all of the attention. Fred and George are clapping their parents on their back, doing a sort of chant. Ron is bragging about how he managed to get a shot in (he hadn’t). Percy is excitedly talking to his father about the legal procedures that Lucius will face. Ginny and Hermione are going around, collecting all of the school supplies that they dropped. Ginny finds a rather unusual book but she dismisses it as something that her parents bought and stuffs it into her bag.

And Harry and Draco. Harry and Draco are staring at one another, not saying a word but having a conversation nonetheless.

Molly finally says that they ought to get back to the Burrow, away from this post-battle excitement. The kids all groan but she and Arthur push them back to the Leaky Cauldron so that they can use the Floo. Draco shuffles along, not knowing where else to go. It’s not until Molly gestures towards the fireplace with a smile that he realizes that his life is about to change.

From there…well…I’ll let you think of the possibilities…

Squad “I acknowledge Draco Malfoy is a highly flawed individual that made all the wrong choices but I blame J.K. Rowling for not giving the character the development he deserved as a human being and I also blame the unhealthy environment Draco grew up to, because, during the series, he was just a kid/teen, and therefore highly dependent to his parents.“ where u at?

Things Harry Potter HATES About Draco Malfoy

He takes too damn long to get ready in the morning.

He is picky, he doesn’t even like fish sticks, what an absolute heathen.

He whines about literally everything. 

He pretends that he hates Muggle appliances and technology but he’s completely mesmerized by it all.

He’s just mad because he can’t even master the toaster. 

He irons his underwear. In fact, he used to get it dry cleaned. (until he was made fun of relentlessly by his boyfriend) 

If you don’t keep your hands busy at all times, he orders you to play with his hair.

If you fall asleep while playing with his hair, he wakes you up by biting your hand. 

He spoils Teddy rotten because he wants to be the favorite. 

Him and his Slytherin friends have Thursday night mahjong tournaments and get drunk off wine coolers. Every. Single. Thursday. 

He’s the worst at Cards Against Humanity. None of the cards he plays makes sense. 

He argues that his answers are still the funniest despite this. 

He nags Harry about his clothing at least five times a day.

He threw away Harry’s favorite pair of Crocs. 

He laughs too loud at movies and asks too many questions. 

He’s a sore loser when it comes to Quidditch and insists that Harry cheated every time they play. (he didn’t, he’s just better than him) 

He eats maraschino cherries when he’s stressed and ends up covered in the sticky, red syrup. 

He always picks off Harry’s plate, even if his isn’t finished. He insists that Harry’s food tastes better. 

He makes fun of Harry’s glasses even though his reading glasses are ten times more hideous. 

Harry thinks he’s the most annoying, stubborn, all around insufferable man to walk the Earth. 

And Harry Potter doesn’t even hate him a little bit.

Happy Birthday Draco Malfoy! (June 5th, 1980)

His redemption arc (via pottermore)

“Draco proves himself to be a stronger, braver and more sympathetic character than most of us gave him credit for, and how terrifying the pressure of his Death Eater father has had on his entire life. It makes us rethink the path he’s led and the person he becomes. Most importantly, it shows us the power of redemption and how we can all learn from our mistakes.”

why don’t wizards on trial have the option to consent to veritaserum? like I get that it’s illegal to force it on someone and that’s cool, but why not have it as an option for people who are testifying that they’re innocent? like wouldn’t that just make sense? you have a potion that can prove 100% if someone’s telling the truth, but instead of using it you just lock innocent people in soul-sucking prison forever? would it just make wizard court tv too boring if half the cases were solved in like two minutes?
