Random Fact of the Week #26
So, this fact is going to be a little different. I have this old ask below that I never got around to answering at the time, so I thought I'd finally answer it today since you guys wanted some Harry/Abby fluff 😉. Sorry to the anon who sent this and had to wait like 5 months for their answer! This was during the time I was away from Tumblr for a while. But without further ado:
Obviously these will all be kind of hypothetical for now, since they're not together yet. But I've been to the future, and can reliably report the following:
The cuddler:
Abby, for sure. She loves hopping into bed or on the couch next to Harry and snuggling up to his side. But Harry, despite not usually initiating, definitely enjoys it as well. She's soft and smells good and is usually wearing a comfy jumper that he likes to sneak his hands under in order to "warm up".
Who makes the bed:
Whoever leaves the bed last. On the weekdays that's usually Abby. On the weekends it's usually Harry. On mornings after stormy nights, it's usually Lily with the help of Harry or Abby.
Who wakes up first:
Harry. Even on the weekends. But he stays in bed until Abby wakes up.
Who hogs the blanket:
Just answered this the other day in an ask! It would be Abby.
Who is more protective:
Harry. Harry. Harry. Which drives Abby mad sometimes, but he loosens up a little over time with both her and his kids. He's always going to be a bit overprotective, though. It's in his nature.
Who's more ticklish:
Harry. Unless he cheats and uses a tickling charm on Abby. But he quickly learned never to do that again after Abby retaliated by lacing all his pants with itching powder for a week.
Who is the spider killer?
Harry. Only because Abby always releases them back into the wild instead of killing them--something Ron was very unnerved by when he first witnessed it.
Who apologizes first:
It's a mix. For bigger arguments, they usually both need space to cool down and think. And then when they come back to each other, they can talk it out more maturely. So they kind of apologize at the same time. Harry is more stubborn than Abby, overall. But when it comes to fights, he's never too stubborn to admit he was wrong. They're both pretty self-aware and know what their weaknesses are. It's just a matter of pride that keeps them from apologizing right away.
Who initiates kisses:
In public, Abby. But even then, it's mostly just a kiss on the cheek or a quick one on the lips. At home in front of the kids, it's about equal. But again, those are usually small kisses. And in private, it's more Harry. Abby initiates the cuddling and the teasing more, but Harry usually kisses her first.
Who gives in easier to puppy eyes:
Harry, for sure. Partly because he doesn't even know how to pull off that look. But also because Abby looks way too cute to him when she does.
What is the most common argument:
The most common dumb arguments are usually about the house--Abby leaving dishes in the sink, Harry leaving his clothes on the floor. The most common big arguments are about Harry's overprotectiveness towards her and the kids, Abby being easier with discipline and not consistent with Harry, Harry taking magical things for granted/forgetting that Abby doesn't know or can't do certain things, and both of them having trouble expressing their emotions.
Some of those get better with time, especially the last one. But others are just kind of always inevitable.

Aaaaand that's a wrap. I hope the original anon sees this, and I hope everyone else enjoys these facts of the week! Hopefully these will hold you over for a little ;)
