Summary: Due to an unexpected turn of events, Harry and Draco have to share an apartment as temporary roommates, but their situation only gets more complicated with the arrival and presence of a baby. How will these two boys manage to make it through a month of living with each other, when they also have to take care of a baby?
“Potter!” An irritating, prissy voice called from somewhere. “Potter, open the door!” Harry quickly crossed the distance to the door. What he saw promptly made him freeze on the spot. At the entrance to their home, on their very doorstep, was a basket with white cushions and a pillow, and placed in the middle of all of that cosiness, wrapped up in a soft, white blanket, was a baby. A baby. Author’s Notes: I would like to thank the BB mods @writcraft and @gracerene09 for working so hard and organising this fest. You made me feel so at ease, even though I was a first timer, and were so lenient! I would also like to thank @violetclarity who has been a constant support by my side from the very beginning. She read he first half of this fic and was the best alpha I could have asked for! I love you so, so much. @gnarf, although she came in a little late, I want to thank for constantly pushing me to write and complete this fic using any means possible. You are the best friend I could hope to have, and always so encouraging! Also, you get all of the credit for helping me with my summary. Most of all, though, I would like to thank Sophia (@unicornsandphoenix) for being the most amazing beta I could ever hope to have. She was the one who made this fic readable and she gets all of the credit, because she did it despite being very busy. I would also like to thank both my artists. Sirene (@sirene312) you are amazing and I love talking to you. Your art always manages to blow my mind and especially the two pieces you drew for me! Sophia (@protosstar), I had so much fun collabing with you and talking to you and your art is the absolute best. I hope you know that. Lastly, I put my all into this fic and this amazing fest, so I hope all of you readers enjoy what I have written, because I know I most certainly did! Artist’s Notes:
Sirene312 - Firstly, I'd like to give the biggest shout out to Sherry for not only being a brilliant writer but also an absolute sweetheart that deserves all the love! I hope you will enjoy her story and the illustrations made by me and Sophia! Also special thanks to our mods Grace and Writcraft for organizing this awesome fest! i'm glad to have had the opportunity of being part of this along with so many talented artists and writers!
Protostar - I immensely enjoyed creating my pieces for this collaboration. Reading a story, knowing that you will be illustrating parts of it, creates a completely different experience than just being a normal reader and it made me appreciate the writing, and dedication put into the story, so much more. I put my heart into trying to capture the mood of the writing in both my pieces and as a result both were incredibly fun to plan and create, and I hope my love for this story and project comes through in them.
