Shiloh learns to crawl

An art commission by @kumatan0720

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Oh gosh—she's doing it! She's doing it, Draco! Come see!"

Hermione tore her eyes from Shiloh for half a second to watch as Draco came sprinting into the nursery from their little kitchen, half-washed bottles in hand, elation filling his eyes.

"She's doing it?" he echoed, his voice breathless.

Hermione nodded and turned back to their daughter. Shiloh was on her hands and knees, rocking back and forth in her blue footie pyjamas. She had been edging closer and closer to crawling with each passing day, and Hermione swore that this time Shiloh had moved one of her knees.

She had been scooting around on her tummy for several weeks, reaching for her mummy's wand or some other shiny bauble. The transition to supporting her own weight on her hands and knees was relatively new. But every time she came close and Hermione and Draco gathered around her to watch her arrive at her new milestone, she would suddenly lose interest, falling onto her bottom and looking around before declaring in a loud and confident voice, "Ba!"

What exactly she meant by, "Ba!" Hermione had no idea, but she hoped it didn't translate to, 'A watched cauldron never boils.'

But this time would be different. She was sure of it. Shiloh seemed confident, somehow. Bold. Excited. She had a glint in her eye as she stared at a plush dragon sitting on the floor nearby.

"Come on," Draco egged on in a whisper, his own eyes wide, identical to his daughter's.

Shiloh rocked back and forth again, as if she was trying to convince herself that she was ready to propel herself forward.

Draco crouched down beside Hermione, the two of them following an unspoken agreement to be silent observers from this moment. Even though Draco's soapy hands began to drip onto the rug, she said nothing, choosing to watch Shiloh instead.

One knee forward. Then an arm.

Shiloh moved forward a couple inches before collapsing onto her tummy. Hermione watched as Draco grimaced.

She no longer doubted the kind of father he was to their daughter.

Watching him watch Shiloh made her heart sing.

A shriek from Shiloh made Hermione whip her head around. She was back on her hands and knees, rocking once more. This time, her wide, gummy smile stretched across her face as she stared at the plush dragon.

One knee forward. Then an arm.

Then again. And again. And again.

She kept crawling until she was close enough to the dragon to reach out and grab it in her pudgy little fingers. And as she fell backwards onto her nappy-padded bottom with the dragon in her clutches, Hermione and Draco surged forward to scoop her up and shower her with praise.

"Well done, darling!"

"That's our girl!"

Scene from The Gift of Life, Chapter 12

I am seriously beyond elated at the lovely work that KumatanDraws has done. From Draco’s soapy hands to the determined look on Shiloh’s face, she’s captured he moment perfectly! It’s so fluffy and soft and I’m going to be staring at it for DAYS.

I got my first fan art today from @biscuitsforpotter for one of my fics! It's a scene from Chapter 33 of Initially Yours. I love it so much! Thank you! ❤️😘

---------- Draco was exhausted. And wet. They had been playing in the cold, windy, drizzling weather for the past two hours and his clothes were soaked and his hair was matted down. A shiver ran through him as another gust of wind picked up and he hoped that the damned Golden Snitch would emerge soon. He didn’t even care if he caught it or not, he just wanted this blasted game over. It wasn’t for lack of trying though; he kept his eyes peeled the entire game, even as the sun set and the stadium lights illuminated the field. He glanced towards the other end of the pitch to see the Gryffindor Seeker, who happened to be his Captain’s girlfriend, Ginny, and noticed that she was also looking worn and tired. Suddenly, the crowd started to roar. He whipped his head around and saw it—the tiny glint of the Snitch was halfway across the field, and he noticed that Weasley was still searching for it, if her head whipping this way and that was any indication. Leaning forward, his pushed his broom to its limits just as Weasley began to fly towards his goal as well. The Snitch zoomed every which way, going left, then right, up, then down. He and Ginny were nearly neck and neck. Then he heard her. He heard Hermione cheering for him in the stands. He glanced over to the sea of red and gold and right there in the front was his witch, wearing green and standing up and shouting his name, encouraging him to grab the Snitch and finish the game. With a grunt he lunged forward a fraction, and his fingers wrapped around the fluttering ball. He raised his hand in the air and showed it proudly, the crowd cheering wildly. Whether it was because they were happy the game ended and they could all go warm up in their beds, or because of him winning the game, he wasn’t sure. All he cared about was the curly-haired witch beaming at him from the front of the Gryffindor stands, wearing his name across her back. He flew over to where she stood, hovering just a few feet away. “This is for you,” he said, tossing her the winning Snitch. Hermione caught the ball, smiling widely at him. “Come here,” she shouted at him so she could be heard over the roar of the students. Draco inched his broom forward and when he was close enough, she leaned over the railing and kissed him soundly on the lips, eliciting both cheers and groans from the stands. ----------

Happy Birthday @biscuitsforpotter! 

Here’s a little something I hope makes your day just a bit brighter.

The war ended six years ago, but it felt like only yesterday to Hermione. Unable to let go of the past, she was floating through life, isolating herself from her friends and searching for… something. When she runs into Draco, who had disappeared years ago, she discovers he just might have what she’s looking for.

A birthday offering for BiscuitsForPotter.

OK. So I read a fic sometime in the last 12-18 months that I simply can't find again. I recall that the Gryffindors (particularly several boys) were pitted against Hermione - Seamus and Dean attacked her and Dean was expelled. It was kind of like The Silver Marauders, but it's not that story. Any ideas?

Anyone?

Edit: Thanks!

jennkm1023: This is Nobody Cared by Etherian on FFN. I’m reading it right now!! Dean was expelled, Seamus and Ron were suspended for a few months

Is this a dramione?

I just read Subtle Perfection and never has a story hit me THIS HARD!!! The storyline, the characters, the nuance of their love was just such an emotional roller coaster, the amount of time I cried sad tears, frustrated tears, and happy tears was uncountable. What you’ve done with this story is absolutely amazing and the ending was just perfect. I wanted to thank you for creating such a beautiful story and KNOW that I will be reading it for years to come!!! It’s definitely in my top 3 books I have ever read. Thank you for bringing us such an interesting and fitting Dramione read ♥️

Ah, what a lovely review!!! It always means so much when people tell me how much they enjoyed Subtle Perfection! Taking people on an emotional roller coaster was absolutely my goal, so it’s nice to see we got there!

Hi there, Tumblr!

Hello… everyone. Seems I’ve been off Tumblr for a hot second. Life has been a doozy for the last several months. If you’ve sent me messages or tagged me, I’m sorry for not responding. I literally had to redownload this app to my phone just now.

However…

Happy Winter Olympics, y’all!

You know what that means??

It’s Subtle Perfection season!

If you’ve read the story and wanted to see a drabble set after the epilogue, what would you want to know about?

*curious minds want to know*

READ SUBTLE PERFECTION HERE!

[biscuitsforpotter]

Hello! Not sure if you’re still active or not but was wondering if you might take a chapter request?

Seeing as the Beijing Olympics are coming up, would you be open to writing a short 1 chapter follow up to subtle perfection? Definitely will be thinking about SP when watching the ice dance portion <3

I am still here - just lurking!

I am definitely open to it and just thinking about what I want to write. Is there anything you’re curious about that you’d like to see in a chapter?
