Two Seconds

For @drarrymylove for blessing us with all those prompt ficlets, which I greatly enjoyed

It was completely dark in his bedroom when Draco opened his eyes, which wasn’t at all right. He’d only lied down for two seconds to get some of the pressure off his back. His joints had been killing him for a while now, as they always did after a heavy set of shifts in healer training.

Another thing that wasn’t supposed to be there, was the warm shape pressed to his side, which began to stir almost as soon as Draco himself did. “Evening sleepy head.” A sloppy kiss landed on his cheek. “Woke up alright?”

Draco blinked once, twice, then moved his gaze to the clock on the wall. 21:32. He’d slept for four and a half hours. Not two seconds, but sixteen thousand and two hundred seconds. Panic rose in his chest as he realized what that meant. “Fuck.”

“No. No, Draco, stop.” A firm calloused hand on his chest stopped him from bolting upright. “You’re not going to freak out, or apologise, or get mad with yourself. You were exhausted, so you fell asleep. There’s nothing wrong with that, especially not since you have such an enormous workload on your shoulders.”

Draco blew a long, deep breath out through his nose, which did nothing to ease his panic. “I forgot our date.”

“Judging by the outfit I found next to your cutely softly snoring form, you really didn’t.” Harry pushed himself up on one elbow and kissed him on the lips. “Besides, my stake-out mission turned into a big bust so I arrived almost an hour late to the restaurant anyway. I was actually pretty relieved to find you asleep instead of pissed off.”

That relaxed Draco a little bit, and he dropped his head back on the duvet. Despite the sleep, he could still clearly feel that closing his eyes would whisk him off to dreamland in no time.

“I made curry by the way, while you were out cold. Figured you might be hungry after waking up.”

Draco had been mistaken, he was clearly already in dreamland. Having Harry, homemade curry and a good few hours of sleep all in one evening couldn’t be real. Not with his luck. He rolled over until he was on top of his boyfriend, and opened his mouth to tell him just that. However, something quite different left his lips. “I love you.”

Harry’s smile was instant, and lit up the entire room. When he spoke, his voice sounded like the happiest whisper Draco had ever heard. “You said it back.”

“I did.” Draco forced his nerves down and pressed his lips against Harry’s forehead. “I love you.”

“Love you too.” Harry pulled him down for a kiss. It wasn’t heated, they were both too tired for that, but it was brilliant all the same. “Can we celebrate that love with curry and pyjamas in front of the TV?”

Draco chuckled as he watched Harry’s hopeful expression. It looked so childlike because it was open and pure and real. Draco had never seen any other adult smile like that. He didn’t think he ever would, either. He’d be too busy looking at Harry, and the way his happiness could make miracles happen, like convince a Malfoy to eat in his pyjamas. “Of course.”

“Yay! Thank you.” Harry flung both arms around his neck and kissed him again. It was a clumsy kiss, because he was too busy smiling to really pay attention to it. But Draco didn’t mind. It just made him love his ridiculous boyfriend even more.

And that, that was not a miracle at all. It was just how it had always been meant to be.

[drarrymylove]

Look, everyone, look what this absolute sweetheart has written!  This was so cute, so sweet!!!  I love first “i love you”s so much, how did you know?!?!?  And you know, sometimes, you just gotta let your sweetie sleep.  And oh my gah “you said it back.” like…eeeeEEEE!

Thank you so much, @rose-grangerweasleyisbae!  I am so happy that you thought of me!!  This is such a lovely fic.  

[rose-grangerweasleyisbae]

It was a hunch😉

Im so happy you liked it! And again thank you for blessing us with your writing as well!!!! 😘

[messrsmemoirs]

The only reason Remus was never Quidditch commentator is because the games weren’t designed to handle that level of smart, sarcastic commentary.

[wizardtowizard-blog]

Also, he said “Fuck” way too often for McGonagall to sanction it.

[messrsmemoirs]

“Sorry, Professor.”

[wizardtowizard-blog]

Remus: Ever Fucking Merlin above, great catch by James Fleamont Potter–

McGonagall: Mr. Lupin!

Remus: Sorry, Professor. Anyway, Slytherin’s got the Quaffle now, because some people feel like snogging instead of going to practice – I’m looking at you Frank Longbottom. And… yes! Avery is practically knocked into the next century by a bludger artfully aimed by Beater Shacklebolt. See, Longbottom? That’s what dedication and practice do for you.

McGonagall: Less personal grudges, more game commentary, Mr. Lupin.

Remus: Sorry, Professor. And is that…? Yes! Seeker McKinnon goes into a dive! She’s brilliant! She’s perfect! She’s… a lump on the ground. Apparently she can see the snitch from the other side of the pitch, but she can’t see the ground right in front of her fucking face.

McGonagall: Alright, you’re out. 

[ladysdork]

This is utterly true and what do you mean not canon???

i swear to god, men raising their voice is the most terrifying thing in the whole world. they dont understand, like its an immediate panic response, game over

[cl4yton-deactivated20180207]

I actually had no idea women found this so scary

[periwinklepromise]

my downstairs neighbors fight on a regular basis, and every time he starts yelling i’m a little afraid he’s going to kill her. i have no reason to think this except that he is a man and he is angry

[thewonderfulthingaboutfish]

My math teacher has a loud voice and a temper and he scares the living shit out of me almost everyday. He’s made me and other kids cry more than once and he and his teacher buddies make a joke out of terrifying students.

[diamondsamura1-deactivated20220]

this was women in general? i knew my gf didn’t like it but I was unaware if this affected most women

[survivor-surviving]

Yes, it does

[pandora-ness]

As a woman, I had no idea it effected other women like this. I was too afraid to even talk about it. I thought I was weak. Thanks for bringing attention to this.

[kaldraws8280]

My dad thinks it’s funny that I used to cry when he raised his voice. I freak out whenever some one does. Once my director did, and I started crying I couldn’t stop. I’m glad to see I’m not alone…

[suicunesrider]

This is so important– seeing how common this is– and I also want you all to know that this is not normal. It isn’t something instinctively ingrained into women, to be afraid of men. There is no natural state of men being a threat that women constantly have to be afraid of. This is cultural. So many women and girls here have a mutual understanding of this feeling, and I think it really shows an unsettling truth about our society, particularly about how men are raised to act and how so many women have this defensive reaction gradually develop. It’s so important that these people have their voices heard, because it teaches us about problems that we just can’t deny the existence of any longer.

[shidoninoure]

I’m glad I’m not the only one

[anexperimentallife]

My fellow men, pay attention. I didn’t realize how scary this could be until one of my exes explained it to me, and it’s heartbreaking.

Also, when we move too much during an argument, or lean forward, it’s scary, and I never knew. I was even a little insulted at first, because surely she didn’t think I would hurt her. But see, that doesn’t matter. It wasn’t a sign that she mistrusted me specifically; it’s a conditioned response. (Although if you keep doing it once you realize it scares her, she SHOULDN’T trust you.)

Not every woman has been physically harmed by a man she trusted, but every woman KNOWS a woman who has.

I used to be horrible about this, because I didn’t realize how intimidating it was. I didn’t understand why the woman I was with clammed up or tried to tell me what she thought I wanted to hear, and I only got angrier, and acted even more like an asshole. It was wrong. It was abusive. It didn’t matter if I INTENDED it that way; it was still emotionally abusive. And it was inexcusable.

I get that when passions are high, and when you’re frustrated, it’s a natural tendency to let your voice get louder, to shout and gesture and lean forward. But you can train yourself to do better. You can train yourself to keep more of an even tone, to refrain from large and fast gestures, to not lean into her personal space. I did. I’m not perfect at it yet, but goddamn it, I WILL be.

Don’t tell me it’s too hard, that you just can’t do it, or that you “shouldn’t have to.” I’m 53 years old and just now getting the hang of it, and if this old dog can learn something new, so can you.

[elfwreck]

Note to guys: It really, REALLY doesn’t matter if you’re thinking, “but I would never…”

History is littered with the bodies of women who believed a man “would never.” This includes women killed by men who honestly, deeply, truly believed they “would never”… right up until she said that one thing or moved in just that way and he just got so mad, just that once, and pushed her or punched her or slashed her or shot her… just once, y’know, to shut her up, or because she was flinching and didn’t she know that HE’S NOT LIKE THAT and I’LL TEACH HER TO BE AFRAID OF ME…

We are trained, from infancy, that Men With Loud Voices are a source of pain from which we cannot escape, and attempts to escape may result in more pain. And as soon as we’re old enough to comprehend a world broader than our immediate circle, a world that extends into the past and will run into the future, we realize that there is no way, no way at all, to tell which men “would never” and which men “would never… except if.”

We live or die on that “if.” And any man who doesn’t like facing that hyper-vigilance can work on fixing OTHER MEN, not women’s fear.

The reaction shouldn’t be “not all men are like that;” it should be “no woman should have to live in fear.”

It’s telling that so many people will hear a story of long-term abuse and say, “why did she stay with him?” and not “why did he treat her like that?”

[plaggnoir]

This made me cry.

[galactic-gangstar-gibbon-deacti]

Don’t skip over this.

[thefluffyvillain-fluffmaster]

and the men in my family got annoyed when I cried when they raised their voices at me… I still do, I never realised why I cried, I just did. Even I am surpised at learning this.

[drrarythings]

This is so important. No woman should have to live in fear. But also there are boys, even men, children of all kinds who too feel fear at raising voices and loud people by experience or knowing someone who experienced it. This is impontant. No one should have to live in fear. We all should be careful with anger and raising our voices. We should try to control any aggressive behavior and take everything as calmly as we can, but with real try, try as hardest to restrain it. Be strong and protect those around you.

[paxamericana]

hate when that happens!

[snoopingasusualisee]

[becketted]

lmao Rowling has liked transphobic tweets before, and we know she’s pals with prominent TERF journalists but sure. Jo, you didn’t do it on purpose or because it lined up with your disgusting politics, sure

I’m starting to ask myself about everything in Harry Potter more and more with every tweet and post about this phobic author…

Rick Riordan: okay here have a gay Italian sad boy

Everyone: I mean, it’s all right but-…

Rick Riordan: I understand. Want a bisexual main character, who happens to be a god?

Everyone: oh that’s actually nice…but! How about girls-

Rick Riordan: you’re totally right. Here have a pair of lesbian hunters

Everyone: …um this is actually pretty nice…how about-

Rick Riordan: a pansexual main character?

Everyone: yea-

Rick Riordan: with a gender fluid love interest? Say no more! Anything else?

reblog for riordan. love this guy! also, when he got the Stonewall Award for the Magnus Chase series? his response:

“…it’s a call to do better in my own writing. As one of my genderqueer readers told me recently, “Hey, thanks for Alex. You didn’t do a terrible job!” I thought: Yes! Not doing a terrible job was my goal!”

love it.

[tiptop-and-others-deactivated20]

I can not explain how much I love rick roairdane.

[mrdcoolblue]

Rick Riordan is also using his money and fame to lift marginalized authors. He started a whole imprint called Rick Riordan Presents. The books published there have mythology and folklore from all over the world, and they’re written by authors who actually belong to those cultures. The first three books announced have stories based in Korean, Mayan, and Indian cultures, written by Yoon Ha Lee, Jennifer Cervantes, and Roshani Chokshi respectively.

[fandomsandfeminism]

Rick Riordan is pretty fucking cool. Ive never seen a YA put as much care and effort into growing as a writer, specifically with a focus on increasing diversity, as him.

The fact that he’s a UT alum from San Antonio who taught middle school English just warms my heart.

[drrarythings]

JKROWLLING should get notes from uncle Rick! Then admin what a douche bag was she to her fans, different-sexuality-fans, trans-fans, gender-fluid-fans and people of all kind whom I missed and apologize for it!

Harry being interviewed by Rita Skeeter again

Rita Skeeter: Now Harry, tell our audience who do you like.

Harry: Draco Malfoy.

Rita Skeeter: Actually, I meant ‘like’ like in ‘love’.

Harry: Oh, sorry.

Rita Skeeter: No problem. So, who do you love?

Harry: Draco Malfoy.

Rita Skeeter: Well, let’s…phrase it differently. Who are you interested in?

Harry: Draco Malfoy.

Rita Skeeter: I meant, romantically interested.

Harry: Also Draco Malfoy.

Rita Skeeter: Another approach. What do you think of the girls in Hogwarts, like Hermione Granger, Cho Chang and …damn, I forgot her name.

Harry: Ginny? Ginny Weasley?

Rita Skeeter: Ah, right, that was her name. Anyway, what do you think of them?

Harry: Well, they’re nice.

Rita Skeeter: And pretty?

Harry: I guess.

Rita Skeeter: Which one do you think is the prettiest?

Harry: Draco Malfoy.

Rita Skeeter: But-

Harry: Listen, do I have to kiss him right here and now, propose to him, invite you to our wedding and sent you pictures from our honeymoon, or are you finally going to write down that ‘Harry Potter is fucking gay for his fellow, Draco Malfoy, and not intersted in some hetero romance in the least’?!

Rita Skeeter: …Okay…

[mezzoaribg]

In which case Rita Skeeter is based on JK Rowling .

[drrarythings]

Too true it also made me laugh!

au where everyone is born with a very unique tattoo on their ankle, nobody else in the world has that tattoo.

every time you fall in love with someone, their tattoo appears somewhere else on your body. (not necessarily soulmates, just who you fall in love with.)

imagine people who fall in love easily having their bodies completely covered in tattoos.

aromantics who only have their own ankle tattoo on their body.

people who have love affairs having to cover up the other secret tattoo from their spouse/partner.

a new tattoo appearing on a celebrity’s body in new photos and a very lucky fan (who had recently met the celebrity) realizing that it’s their tattoo.

elderly ladies sitting around tables in nursing homes telling the story behind each of their tattoos.

kindergartners who giggle as they look at their own ankle tattoos together and dream about the future tattoos they’ll have when they’re all grown up.

people trying their best to deface tattoos of ex-lovers who broke their hearts, but they can never go away.

just think about this, guys.

The most hilarious thing about the fact Buckbeak had a trial and lost is that later on JKR resolves the issue by having Hagrid take him in again and renaming him Witherwings. That’s literally all it took. What if in POA, Hagrid simply said, “Sorry, Buckbeak flew away.” 

“There’s a hippogriff right there, Hagrid.”

“A different hipprogriff.”

“I’m… pretty sure that’s the same hipprogriff.”

“Prove it.”

[animatedamerican]

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

It’s honestly a miracle to me that wizarding society doesn’t collapse every other week because like

You’ve got this world full of people who can destroy whole buildings or turn people into beetles or make vehicles fly just by waving a stick at them

And there is literally no common sense

Anywhere to be found

Voldemort would never have had anyone find out he was back if he just went around calling himself Steve 

[kat8porgs]

Okay, see, I thought I saved this post to comment on it but I’d like to bring up

The Minister would NEVER EVER disbelieve in Gerald White. He’d buy it hook line and sinker. The wizarding world would buy it hook line and sinker. The GOBLINS wouldn’t but wizards have been shown to be pretty blindingly clueless. Still, Gringotts would grudgingly give Sirius access to the Black fortune.

But, but, but, you know the one person

the one person

who Gerald White would drive AB-SO-LUTELY FUCKING BATSHIT?

Severus Snape.

Snape would do everything, EVERYTHING, to get people to believe that it’s Sirius. But the Order would ignore it (they accepted Sirius as Sirius before anyway) and Remus would just be so… so affronted.

‘Severus, he is my cousin.’

And Sirius would love it. He’d love the fact that Snape just hated it. He’d be the BEST DAMN GERALD WHITE EVER b/c Snape is doing everything from dropping veritaserum into his firewhisky to capturing a dementor in a box and releasing it on Sirius when he least expects it

That one causes problems for a bare minute because SHIT A DEMENTOR ATTEMPTED TO GIVE GERALD THE KISS MAYBE SNAPE IS RIGHT except Harry comes forward and is like ‘excuse me, I’ve never committed a crime and dementors are ALWAYS attacking me, I think they’re attracted to glasses’

and the magical community is like ‘shit, yeah, you’re right’

and just

Spare. Snape goes spare.

Funny idea: Sirius’s animagus form is a female dog and the other Marauders have a very hard time keeping him under control when he goes into heat. 

Bonus: Sirius disappears and after weeks of searching, James eventually finds him hiding in the kitchens, surrounded by a fucking litter of puppies.  

“For God’s sake, Padfoot.”

“You could have at least given us some warning.”

“You do realise you’re failing potions, right? You’re seriously behind on homework.”

“Keep this up, and we’re getting you neutered.”

[theawkwardqueerturtle]

What I wanna know is whether or not the puppies are also animagi since their mother is one

[potters-little-ferret]

I like to think they’re just plain old puppies, which makes it ten times more disturbing and hilarious.

Person: Wow, you have a lot of dogs.

Sirius: They’re my kids.

Person: Aww, it’s so sweet how attached people get to their pets.

Sirius: …no, really, they’re my kids.

[camunillina-deactivated20200418]

Guys im crying. Dogs don’t live nearly as long as humans. he would literally end up having to bury all his kids.

Alternatively, where do they go when he’s in Azkaban? HELP!

[potters-little-ferret]

Jesus Crust, I never thought of that.

I DIDN’T THINK THIS THROUGH.

[camunillina-deactivated20200418]

Lets just assume magic makes pets live waaaaaay longer. I’m sure there’s at least some canon to that! I didn’t mean to sprinkle sad all over your post

[potters-little-ferret]

Oh no, don’t apologise! It was a very good point ☺️ It would be awesome if a side effect of Sirius being an animagus was that, while his kids could never shift into humans, they would have human life spans.

Or, if you’d rather go for angst, they do only last a couple of years and Sirius grows accustomed to having litters that he will eventually outlive 😭😭😭

[hisshissreadamotherfluffingbook]
