Have a biscuit, Potter.

Before we start the festivities I have a few announcements for our new students: | | 1. This is a fic rec blog for drarry fics, not only for big writers but especially for new ones. | | So if you're new to the fandom, or simply unrecognised, and need a place to get started, feel free to send me a link to your fic and I'll rec it for you! || Home of the #drarryunder300 and #drarrynkotb, but we encourage anyone to use these tags! | | 2. Support and love for new writers is more than welcome! If you don't like what you read, click back—that's why we have the button—and start another one. | | 3. Ship and let ship. Your kink isn't my kink and that's okay. | | 4. Stay out of the forbidden forest, every student who comes out of it alive will be sent straight back home! No exceptions! | | (If there are too many fics sent our way it's possible we won't find the time to read them all. We are humans with a family, job and life outside the fandom so please keep that in mind.)|| Art by @llap115 http://llap115.tumblr.com

Drarry Disability Fest 2023

It's 2023 and it's time to add a new drarry fest to your fic-writing schedule! Introducing for the first time ever: Drarry Disability Fest 2023.

Exciting, right? A fest dedicated to the accurate representation of disabilities, d/Deafness, medical conditions, and mental illness; Drarry Disability Fest is the first of it's kind. In this fest there will be no romanticism of disability (though romance will definitely be present elsewhere), instead we want our artists and writers to focus on accurate depiction - whether it be of the sad, mad, or glad times of disability and mental illness. 

Our goal is to add diversity to the Drarry fic and fanart community, and we firmly believe that while disability and mental illness can be very difficult to handle, they do not mean that we're destined to a life of inaction and solitude; we are an empowered community.

All the mods for this fest are disabled/mentally ill to some extent, and have experience with a variety of additional disabilities to ensure that we have maximum ability to give feedback and filter prompts to the best of our ability. 

We would also like to say that everyone's experience with mental illness and disability is different, so if you end up reading a depiction of your illness or disability that differs from your own, please accept that we do our best to filter the media in this fest so that it is safe for disabled readers, and remember that every different experience with a condition is valid.

This fest will not be anonymous, and we're posting to the fest AO3 Collection in July as that is Disability Pride Month. We will be opening a Drarry Disability Fest Discord server soon, so follow our tumblr to be sure you don't miss that announcement. 

Anyone may prompt to this fest, even if you don't plan to create anything, however we will be filtering your prompt submissions on the AirTable to ensure they are sensitive to the disability/mental illness you are wishing to see depicted.

Beta readers/viewers are required for each submission. You can self prompt when claiming, and you can claim multiple prompts as long as you submit each work before claiming a new prompt. 

The Dates are as follows in MST/MDT: 

March 15: Prompting Begins

April 8: Prompting Closes

April 15: Claiming Opens

May 31: Claiming Closes

June 17: Submissions Deadline

July 1: Posting Begins

July 31: Posting Ends & Fest Wrap-up

More Rules and Information to come, we hope you're as excited for this as we are!

Sincerely, 

Your mods: @basicallyahedgehog (tumblr), @quackquackcey (tumblr), @slytherinthelibrary (tumblr)

A PSA: We acknowledge that J.K. Rowling is the author of the series this fandom is based in, however all mods involved strongly disagree with and refute any and all racist, antisemitic, transphobic, homophobic, and other prejudiced ideas the author holds. This is a safe space for trans people and two of our mods are trans themselves. If you are transphobic or homophobic or otherwise prejudiced against any marginalized group; you are not welcome here.

Attention please!

This is a staff call, or a call for staff.

The headmistress blog is looking for a new owner who has the time to organise and continue the idea we had.

Life is stressful and there's only so much you can do.

Please, if you're interested, DM @gnarf here or on Discord. We'd love to give this blog in loving hands 💜

So, I published my first ever fic. It’s not a literary masterpiece, but if I never share anything until I get to the masterpiece...well, I’ll never share anything 😂

Story inspired by a @drarrymicrofic prompt even though it’s not micro, the Halloween costume I didn’t get to do in 2020, and a great random playlist for writing. Courage inspired by the Burrow because they are A++ humans.

Dragons Brought Me to You

By SlowTortoise

It was a late spring day that would have been unbearably hot if not for the gentle breeze that cooled the air around him. The day was Harry’s penultimate one in London, right before he left for Romania, and he wanted to walk around the area one last time. He was strolling along at a leisurely pace, slowly scanning familiar surroundings as if he could imprint them onto the back of his retinas. Harry had smiled fondly when he had spotted the local cafe where he’d spent many afternoons with Hermione and Ron. He was just about to stop for a clearer glance through the cafe’s window, when a shock of white blond hair appeared in his peripheral vision.

Now, Harry had only ever known one family to sport that particular shade of blond and yet what would a Malfoy be doing in Muggle London? Even so, his muscles had reflexively stiffened and he had prayed that a hostile encounter was not impending. It was a surprise then, that he had ended up face to face with Draco Malfoy; his eyes steady and mouth pressed firm in resolution.

Harry must’ve stood there dumbfounded for so long that Malfoy took the initiative to march up to Harry. He had thrust a small wooden case into Harry’s hand and had said:

“For giving me my wand back”. Harry had only frowned in response; letting silence fall between them once more. When it had lasted too long to be comfortable, Draco had flushed and had glanced away nervously. “It’s a dragon flute. It’s a must have if you’re looking to become a dragon tamer like The Daily Prophet mentioned.”

Draco had frozen and seemed to realise what he had just admitted. “Not that I read the bloody thing to keep tabs on you!” He hadn’t waited for a response and quickly swept away with the breeze.

⚡ Inconveniently Charming ⚡

By Stevonnie00 on AO3

(mind the tags and the AN)

The war is over, but no one seems to be able to put it behind them. The Golden Trio returns to Hogwarts for one last year. All Harry wants is for someone else to be in charge for once, but when he's made Head Boy and charged with keeping a careful eye on Draco Malfoy, the prospect of a quiet year vanishes.

A fic about growth, righting old wrongs, and learning from past mistakes.

The look in Potter’s eyes was a favorite of Draco’s when he needed a quick release. It usually led to images of Potter tied up, begging verbally, or pleading with his eyes because Draco’d already made him forget how to use his words.

Gods, even briefly remembering it now was making his muggle trousers tight.

Hi again. The second one was a drarry fic where Harry ends up at a cabin with Draco and he helps Draco with tending the cabin. All I remember is Harry experimenting on wand making. By the end of the fic he makes a wand for Draco and they end up together. That’s all I remember. Also I love your blog. It gives me new things to read all the time.

Hi Mybella! Thanks for reaching out, glad you love the blog! Would def recommend reaching out to our friends over at @drarryficfinder or @drarryspecificrecs?

“If you tell anybody about this, you’ll wake up without several important appendages. Is that clear?” Draco spits. 

Harry will, of course, be telling everybody about this.

Harry wondered why he was even here and whether he would stay for the whole fitting, but did not actually want to ask. It wouldn't do to make Malfoy feel defensive for no reason. And really, Harry had no reason to feel weird, had he?

God, how much he hated to see Draco like that. Undone. Smiling. Between his legs.

Well, maybe hate wasn’t the right word here.

“Why did I agree to this mystery honeymoon?” he whined. 

Harry kissed him on the cheek and they walked through the exit together. “Because you love me.” he stated.
