Fic/art claim: A Father’s Pride
Written/drawn for the Harry Potter Trans Fest (2020)
First of all, I’d like to thank the mods so much for helping all of the trans* people and allies in the HP community come together in such a beautiful fest, and also @april-thelightfury115 for betaing this fic, and @secretlycrazyhummingbird for being my sensitivity reader and helping me make sure this story was exactly what I wanted it to be. I love you guys! 💗
The prompt I claimed said to draw a character I headcanonned as trans with my non-dominant hand. The one-shot that comes with this fanart exists because, of course, the idea ran away from me while I drew 😂

“Hi there,” his dad said gently. Then, when Scorpius didn’t reply, “Is everything okay?”
“Y...Yeah. I just—I need to talk to you about something.”
Upon hitting puberty, Scorpius finds out his body isn't quite developing as expected. Testosterone potions will help mitigate some of the symptoms, they say. This doesn't make him any less of a boy, they say. But Scorpius doesn't feel reassured; doesn't feel like he wants to be a boy anymore.
Now he just needs to tell his dad.
Or: Draco Malfoy loves badges and dad jokes. But, above all else, Draco Malfoy loves his kid.
