absolutely peak Harry and Hermione ADHD / Autism solidarity

Harry going on a little mental trip, taking Hermione's honestly insane suggestion to an even more out-there place because he's latched onto the image of himself with a periscope antenna, then doing some free-associating and connecting it up to the last (unrelated) time *he's* seen human transfiguration... only to have Hermione completely miss that it's mostly a joke, and take his suggestion 100% dead-pan seriously.

Day 11: an underrated fic

📚 He Needs You by @elsirin /MoonflowerMorningGlory on AO3

Draco/Harry, wordcount 5.6k, cat G

Summary:

There was a ritual. Draco Malfoy would like to ignore the results. Narcissa Malfoy knows better. Harry Potter knows nothing at all, he has no clue what is happening, except he has a meeting to get to and he's too tired for this madness. Short little one shot set in the summer just after the war, before eighth year, while Harry is interning at the Ministry.

AKA the one with Veela Draco and ADHD Harry 🤍

Firstly, I am such a sucker for the whole premise of Draco needing to take care of someone and Harry rather desperately needing someone to take care of him *melting* So the mix of Veela Draco with all the protective instincts and ADHD Harry who is a bit of a distaster is just delicious. Hurt/comfort at its finest <3

Secondly, I love the portrayal of Harry in this story so so much. ADHD is for some reason often belittled as just this thing that makes you unable to sit still in meetings and do a lot of sports. While it really is so much more! So yeah, I loved how the author has touched upon many aspects of it in the fic.

This really is just on another level how validating it feels to read about neurodivergent characters. Keep 'em coming folks! <3 Now, I need more kudos on this beautiful h/c story - go check it out to have your heart melted on this fine Saturday evening 🤍

Thank you for yet amazing prompt @hprecfest. See you in the next one!

Now onto the quotes!

And Harry was embarrassed to admit just how much harder it all was without them. Without the routine. There was nothing to stop him working past 7pm. He struggled to get to sleep and then struggled to stay asleep and then struggled to wake up.

Yep, transitions are a bitch and a half xd

Late. Late. He was so late. He needed to focus.

Somehow being late and super anxious about it just keeps bloody happening to us xd

He leaned against the wall and tried to breathe through the pain. This was silly. He had a meeting to get to.

Buahaha, I love this so much - bleeding, in pain and hurting? I'll be fine, I have a meeting! Can’t be late AGAIN. Oh how familiar that is xd

“Harry!” Both Narcissa and Malfoy had shouted out at his clumsiness

Oh Harry :(

He was ok. He was fine. No big deal. But why did everything always have to hurt?

Welcome to neurodivergent life! We have cookies. We just don't remember where we put them xd

“Potter, are you serious?” Draco scoffed. “You want to go home. You're allowed to go home if you're having a bad day.” Potter blinked.

Oh how I wish someone would say that to me sooner than in my late twenties on the verge of a burnout xd

“Order some takeaway. Run yourself a bubble bath. Read your favourite book. Rest. Sleep.” Harry was staring at him as though he were speaking a foreign language.

It's so sad Harry didn’t even think of this as an option! Good thing Draco got him covered :) Also yes, this is in fact the best way to fend off a bad day. Also a pet nearby would be great :D

This is written for the prompt “travel” from @drarrymicrofic

Word count: 100

Drarry microfic: packing

“What are you doing?”

Draco stared at the floor of their bedroom. Or, what used to be their floor. Right now, it was littered with clothes and toiletries.

Harry looked up from his suitcase, a sheepish smile on his face. “Packing.”

“Okay…” Draco raised an eyebrow. “It’s still three weeks until we leave, though.”

Nodding, Harry continued packing. “I know. But it’s been at least a decade since I’ve traveled. I can never start early enough.”

Draco shook his head, a deep fondness wrapping around him like a warm blanket. He already had a feeling this trip would be perfect.

Harry Potter headcannon

so we all know that really dramatic scene in the first book/movie with the whole Harry not being able to catch a single letter from the air or ground even though he’s like, snitch catcher of the century and all that, right?

Ya’know, this one

like, it doesn’t make sense that Harry couldn’t catch a single letter or pick one up and yet he can be the fastest snitch catcher like ever and stuff.

However, I would like something to be considered, in adhd/add it’s famously known that it can be hard to focus, but the reason that’s not always the case. It’s that you’re juggling more than one focus. So if Harry had so many different objectives (letters) to be focusing on then he wouldn’t have been able to grab just one. But when he places his focus on only one object and put the force of his concentration on it (the snitch) it becomes much easier to reach.

it could also explain why he tends to make quick choices and not notice things since the story is from his point of view. Like deciding to just follow all that stuff with tom riddle and the (almost) murders in second year, and how he probably missed a lot of the relationships (literally any of the lgbt relationships in hp).

it could also be why the eating thing wasn’t made as big of a deal in hp. I mean, it would be hard to ignore the fact that Harry grew up in the Dursley house with hardly any food given to him (maybe I’m exaggerating) and if not he brought up in the hp series, but if it’s in Harry’s pov and adhd kids often don’t remember to eat during the day if food isn’t in sight/mind (even more so with meds) so that could be why he never thought of it and why he tended to be scrawny? Though that could just be genes.

there’s probably other stuff too but yeah. Add/adhd Harry. What a goofy little boy
