You loved George. You really did. Truly and madly. But sometimes, it was hard to love him. Just sometimes! And that is because he would often put you in the most embarrassing moments of your life with his mischief.
You could bear jokes among his family. You even had grown accustomed to his mother scolding him and Fred, which used to be uncomfortable in the beginning. And you even laughed when the mischief involved the whole family as the target. Hell, you very much appreciated that they didn’t prank you.
George had been very adamant on that with his brother. He drew the line on you. That didn't mean he didn‘t make any jokes on you. But all of them were soft and lovely. “Apt for my Y/N,” he’d told you once.
However, he was not so thoughtful to warn you before one of their jokes exploded in school. Sometimes even literally exploded. And that left you in the middle of a chaos.
“Miss. Y/N. Do you know anything of this,” professor Snape asked you accusingly. The twins had just flown around the great hall, throwing candy to everyone. Creating a bit of a mess of chaotic kids trying to take candy falling from the sky.
You could only mumble shyly, “Nothing at all.”
But George and Fred were nowhere to be seen. And you knew what that meant for you. Snape raised an eyebrow, suspicion and accusation clear in his next words. “You’ll come with me nonetheless. You’ll tell me what you know.”
And you had to spend the following 40 minutes with angry Snape trying to get something out of you. Of course, George hadn’t had the courtesy to, not only warn you, but to make you know something about where they were.
“I don’t believe a word you are saying.” Snape was both exhausted and irritated. And the funny thing was, this was far from the first time he had to integrate you because of the twins. You knew the plan by memory, and though you wanted to scold George, you were exited by what came next.
“I’m telling you the truth. I know nothing.”
Snape run a hand though his face. It was odd being the only one to see him so… like this. It was also fun. “You-”
And an explosion. Contained and light. But a damn explosion.
“What?” the professor barked, and turn to you before running to where the sound of the explosion came. “You stay here,” he commanded. But then he was gone, and you were most definitely not staying there.
Sneaking out of the room was easy. Snape had left the door unlocked, so you only had to quietly walk an
You screamed instantly as unknown arms grabbed you from behind, one hand muffling your noise.
“Stay quiet,” a voice whispered in your ear. George’s voice.
“G- gor- mhh,” you tried, but his grip on your mouth was tight. So you decided it was justified to kick his leg from behind as he kept you moving.
“Ow! What was that for, sweetheart?” he asked, but once he realized he still had his hand enabling you to talk, he let go. “Oh - right, sorry,” he laughed.
“That,” you said weekly, trying to breathe properly again. “Was for trying to kidnap me-”
“I wasn’t-”
You hushed him. “And not only that. You are also responsible for Snape kidnapping me into interrogation. So two kidnappings in a day.”
“What a great day for you,” he smiled a dazzling smile. But you were not so happy.
“Why couldn’t you warn me, you stupid stupid-”
“Don’t say stupid again, please,” he pleaded playfully.
“Stupid.” You watch his face turn into a pout. “George, we had talked about this.” And when he hears your tone is serious, he stops playing.
“I know. I know. And I’m sorry. After we got out flying, I looked for you. That was the plan, getting you out with me. But you were nowhere to be seen. Then Fred told me Snape had taken you. And well - this was the new plan.”
“An explosion?!”
“Well,” he replies grinning, as if proud of the idea. “It worked.”
You shake your head, as a grin bloomed on your face.
“Eeeh, so… you are not upset?” he asked, moving his eyebrows up and down in question.
You cocked your head to the side, watching joy show in his eyes. How could you be mad at him?
“You set an explosion to come and rescue me. How could I be anything but honored?”
He let out a laugh, carefree and contagious.
“Exactly. What a gentleman that I am, huh?”
“Don't push it,” you remarked, trying to wipe that smug smirk. “You idiot…”
He takes a step towards you. “You are so mean, sweetheart.”
You chuckled, about to express your disagreement. But Snape has other plans.
“Mr. Wesley!” You both quickly turn to the professor's voice. “Miss. Y/N! Come here. Now. Both of you.”
George and you both turned to look at each other. And the new new plan was clear.
“Run!”

📚 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
I just finished my annual reread of your work (I'm preparing for your Hanukkah updates 😊). So I was wondering if you could recommend some Harmione fanfiction you enjoyed to tide me over until then?
Okay, first off, THIS IS SO SWEET! Thank you ❤️
Secondly, I don't actually read that much fanfic? I go through phases. But mostly I just read my wips lol
That being said, I read a lot before I started to write it so here are a few of my fav Harmony stories -- sadly they're all FFN because I didn't switch to Ao3 until a few years into writing fanfic. I have read a lot less fanfic since then. And also I just read this jily, so I'll add that to the list too.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9649736/1/Thresholds
—> (during sixth year) Harry wakes up in the girls dorm… in Hermione’s bed. Everything’s awkward and hilarious and Harry convinces himself that it’s all a dream until, of course, it happens again. This time, Hermione wakes up.
--> This is my FAV harmony fanfic. 10/10
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12243818/1/Sooner-Or-Later
—-> OKAY. So like.. post-war, Harry and Hermione start up a friends with benefits thing??? And they don’t tell anyone?? And obviously it gets extremely messy but like who gives a fuck?? Because all they do is fuck?? (I don't love part of the ending plot, but otherwise, remember enjoying this a lot. This writer is a big fav of mine for harmony content
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8140874/1/Ride-The-Lightning
—> (during the horocrux hunt) Ron leaves, but then Harry’s attempt to comfort Hermione gets a bit out of hand whoops we had sex. ALSO, oops, no one knows what a fucking contraception spell is so now Hermione’s pregnant and OH HI RON, you’re back.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12315670/9/Healing-Hermione
—> (post-war) Harry is an Unspeakable, he comes back from a mission to find out that Hermione is dying. He saves her, leading to a permanent bond between the both of them that leads to more.

On the Hotline by duplicity
When Harry calls an assassin hotline, he's expecting it to be a fun prank that's good for a laugh. What he gets is Tom Riddle, a budding assassin who takes his job very seriously.
an introductory rec list (that no one asked for) to some of my favorite ships: snarry [5/10]
First fic I read for the pairing:
Because I Love You, You Idiot by TheMightyFlynn [115k,E]
Veela!Fic. Both Snape and Harry have Veela blood and are bonded. From Snape's POV as he tries to work out why Harry isn't reacting the way he should be to their bond.
[stumbled onto this fic while looking for other creature fics when i was first really getting into hp fanfic and it does kinda slap, i’ll be honest. it also intrigued me into not immediately skipping over snarry fics when i saw them and now… well… the pairing is a fav.]
Fic that really sold me on the pairing:
Immortal Claim by ladyofsilverdawn [16k,E]
Harry needs Snape's cooperation to solve a case, but navigating vampiric culture and Snape's powerful allure proves more challenging than he anticipates.
[artist!sev and vampire!sev??? sign me the fuck up. that and the excellent writing and the tension between harry and sev make for an excellent fic which really hooked me on the ship.]
Absolute favorite fic(s) for the pairing:
The Fifth Act by oliver.snape [111k,M]
After coming to an understanding during the Horcrux hunt, Snape and Harry spend the next year reclaiming what they never had in their lives while playing their roles in the war. HP/SS though not rushed , with a happy ending with some humour throughout.
[not only is this fic extremely well-written but it’s funny as hell. the plot is interesting and the concept of severus and harry ending up as housemates after the war is iconic. 11/10]
Double-Sided Coin by thecookiemomma [62k,E]
Another prophecy throws Harry into a relationship he never would have picked for himself.
(warning for underage)
[this is one of my favorite fics like ever. bonding fic with a side of magical theory, terms of endearment, a little bit non-traditional soulmate elements, interesting plot elements, it’s all there. i’ve read this fic literally more times than possibly any other fic.]
The Worst Cook in Essex by Snarry5evr [6k,T]
Harry loves to cook. Severus doesn’t think he’s all that great at it.
[this fic is absolutely hilarious and i live for it. the domesticity, harry’s entire plan, their relationship, it’s all so well written and also hilarious but not in an excessive crack kind of way.]
Most recent fic I’ve read for the pairing:
Dead Man's Bones by Lilredwulfe [5k,M]
Harry wakes one day to find his magic has changed. He seeks help at Hogwarts, but quickly comes to the realization something is amiss.
[i’ve read my fair share of creature fics and this one is a little unusual and i like that. i also liked the writing style a lot.]
Favorite AU(s) I’ve read for the pairing:
Very Canon Divergent + Roadtrip AU: Dance In The Dark Of Night by Kaatje [112k,M]
An undercover mission leads to love, life and the defeat of the Dark Lord. Road Movie set in Scotland following graduation. Inspired by The Lord Of The Rings.
(warnings for: suicidal thoughts, previous rape/non-con, graphic depictions of violence, self-harm, child abuse)
[it’s very au (i think it had been written before the hp series was finished) but it’s very very good and i love the concept so much.]
WIP(s) I really love for the pairing:
Evernight by LilRinnieB [318k,E]
It's Harry's seventh year at Hogwarts and the new strategy in the war against Voldemort is "Fight darkness with darkness." Harry goes through a series of changes that has him questioning everything he thought he ever knew about magic, darkness, destiny ... and a certain snarky Potions professor.
[oh my god the plot in this is so intricate and well-written and i adore all the OCs and the relationships are well-written and the dynamics and progressions are perfect and i have truly never been sadder to see a fic unfinished (BUT that hasn’t stopped me from reading it several times).]
Longest fic I’ve read for the pairing:
Evernight by LilRinnieB [318k,E] (WIP)
It's Harry's seventh year at Hogwarts and the new strategy in the war against Voldemort is "Fight darkness with darkness." Harry goes through a series of changes that has him questioning everything he thought he ever knew about magic, darkness, destiny ... and a certain snarky Potions professor.
Fic(s) with some of my favorite tropes:
Soulmates: This Fever Called Living by KiroAngel [3k,G]
Severus was never lucky in love or, really, lucky in any capacity. When his lack of luck follows him around in the form of the of an outlined Soul Mark, well, at least luck decides to keep it interesting. And maybe, just maybe, his luck will one day polarize.
[it’s a little bit introspective and i love the writing style.]
Bed Sharing: Heatwave by DobbyRocksSocks [1k,T]
A heatwave has hit Scotland, and Professor Potter can't sleep because of the temperature. Can Headmaster Snape help?
[first of all, so much of DobbyRocksSocks’s stuff is adorable. Second of all, love me some cute get together and bed sharing.]

Summary:
(I am the one who says 'fuck you') - Benjamin Garcia, 'Ode to the Corpse Flower'.
Petunia Evans has always lived in her older sister's shadow. Plain, fretful, and unremarkable, she resigns herself to a bitter existence as Lily's resentful follower. In spite of this, it is Petunia, not Lily, who is the witch. All she can do now is attempt to make sense of the sudden absurdity of her previously well-ordered world. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Marauders, and a war on the horizon all conspire to make this rather difficult. (A witch!Petunia and muggle!Lily AU, covering the Marauders' years at Hogwarts and the First Wizarding War).
Loved, loved this fic. Characterisation is spot on, even taking into account the changed setup. Petunia x Sirius are a delight.
Another rec no one asked for but me. All of these are finished, and quite a few are from the early 2000′s when I first started reading fic so sorry if some read a little weird but it was the early 2000′s, who knew how to write properly for fic back then?
