Harry has never been subtle. He’s never tried to be, either. People have called him—in endearment and insult—too headstrong and too loud, too impulsive and too sarcastic. He wears the names proudly on his sleeve, and goes on behaving exactly how he likes. Sometimes it’s inconvenient, though. Like with Draco.

Author's Note: This piece is a prequel. Go read the work it’s based on—you won’t regret it. I promise. To ANW815, I hope you like this. I wish I could have done something more. Thank you so much for pinch-hitting the fest—that sort of kindness makes the world go round. To the lovely lovely mods, thank you so so much for your patience and understanding as I asked for more and more extensions and broke more and more promises. Thank you. A lot has happened since I signed up for this fest—I started university and I moved across the country. The result is that I’ve stopped writing almost entirely. This reminded me how much I miss it. So thanks to the entire community—for always being there and for grounding me. Love you all. And thanks so much to Rosalee for the last minute beta. As always, the characters and worldbuilding in this fic belong to JKR and the fandom as a whole. And fuck TERFS. Fuck em.

Mod Note: While we would always encourage reading the fic which inspired a remix, you shouldn't feel you have to do so. It's OK to just dive straight into the remix!
