“Your fear is the same as mine you see. Being mediocre”

An average kid in a public school in a small town in the middle of nowhere, dotted with average intelligence, average parents and an average house that looked identical to the rest of the ones in their street. Nothing noteworthy about the plain blurr of years that basically made up his entire life.

“Yes, mediocre. You’re afraid of being ordinary, unoriginal, unforgettable” Judy waved her hands around, preparing the killing blow. “And so you go to great lengths to fit in with the people who make you feel anything but. To please them and to make them feel grateful to you, so that they think twice before leaving”

“You’re not so different from me Richard. The difference is that you’ll continue slaving yourself away for something unreachable, frozen in place, while we all move on with our lives”

…

In which Richard has some harsh realizations

Dumbledore: clearly tom riddle was evil from birth bc he stole stuff in the orphanage

Also Dumbledore: pay no attention to those letters between me and my boyfriend plotting world domination

hiiii do you know how many chapters you’re aiming for with auror potter? great story btw, i very nearly pissed my pants laughing when he called the madame out in front of tom, lestrange and malfoy.

and yes — harry definitely is a bamf and does have chemistry with almost everyone. kind of makes me think that with tom, it’s going to skyrocket eventually.

Hahaha, you get it! He is one hot angry motherfucker. I’m also glad you laughed, writing Harry is honestly a delight. He’s just so sarcastic and explosive all the time, ugh 😩

I’ll tell you a little secret actually. Chapter number three is told from Tom’s pov, so I’m struggling a bit lol. Still, I think it should be out somewhen next week. There will be seven chapters, according to my outline, between 32k-38k words in total.

Again, I’m very happy you’re enjoying the story!

Helloooo! So I’m looking for a beta or just someone in general that’s interested in reading over some chapters and commenting ideas before I post them. For anyone in the Harry Potter fandom that reads this and feels interested, please write me a message! I’d really like to exchange some thoughts. Thank you!

a bloody psychopath & tom riddle

save death eaters PLEASE

plumm_m

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

@the-sinking-ship Your welcome love hahaha. I just saw these two and I thought of Draco asking Harry to help him quit his smoking habit (even when we all know he’ll never achieve it), and of Harry doing absolutely nothing to help him cause those sunrises on the rooftop where they share a cigarette after a whole night out partying is their favorite bonding time and I-

😭 I love them stop

My favorite Hogwarts Eighth Year Drarry fics

Part ll

✨ You cannot save people, you can only love them / 51k / Upon returning for Eighth Year, there are so many strange things going on with Malfoy, Harry doesn’t know where to start. He won’t talk to Harry, but he’s talking to ghosts. He won’t apologize for his past, but the Black Family tapestry has crossed him off its tree. And the worst of it all, he still has that infuriating, snotty mouth on him that gets Harry’s dick hard as a rock drives Harry insane.

✨ In Evidence of Magical Theory / 43k / When a hex meant for Draco accidentally catches Harry as well, they're forced to learn to understand each other in ways they previously might have thought impossible.

In which Harry and Draco can't fight, so they fall in love instead.

✨ You And Me / 27k / When Harry sits down with Malfoy, he's really only looking for a reprieve from the constant stares and whispers. (Mostly.) What he gets instead are a series of strange events that lead to a friendship that is something else, questions that nobody knows how to answer, and the realisation that the person that Harry doesn't know how to hate, anymore, seems to be the person who knows exactly what he needs.

A story in which everything is complicated. And yet, somehow, none of it is.

✨ You Look the Way I feel / 108k / Draco returns for his eighth year at Hogwarts in an attempt to salvage whatever he can of his future. His plan: sit as many N.E.W.T.s as possible, distance himself from the Malfoy name, and keep out of trouble. Of course, with his father on trial and at risk of unthinkable punishment, not to mention the anxiety-fueled "episodes" that have been plaguing him since summer, the school year doesn't go so smoothly. Especially when Harry Potter keeps seeking him out.

✨ Sex and the Art of Castle Maintenance / 14k / "Come on, boys," Zabini drawled. "You’re only delaying the inevitable."

Trouble always had a way of finding Harry, and eighth year was obviously going to be no exception.

✨ Hey, Potter / 16k / Harry returns to Hogwarts for his 8th year, determined not to let Malfoy get to him. But when the snarky teasing starts up again, Harry finds that returning the jibes with compliments has a far more interesting outcome.

✨ Mental / 186k / Harry has had quite enough of sharing his mind with someone else, thankyouverymuch. A miscast Legilimecy spell says otherwise.

✨ Nyctophilia / 107k / Everyone's back for 8th year, and Harry and his friends seem determined to spend their last year in school running around at night, hyped up on coffee and alcohol and Honeydukes candy, doing all the childish things they didn't have the chance to do before. Draco watches as he's always watched: from afar, quiet and bitter and hopelessly in love. That is, until Pansy decides she's had quite enough of it.

✨ Breathe Again / 64k / "It's a tough thing to admit, if only to himself, but sometimes Harry misses the old Malfoy, the one that used to taunt him at every turn."

After the war, a very different Draco returns to Hogwarts. Harry is determined to be his friend.

✨ Oxytocin / 179k / Draco Malfoy cannot sleep. If he keeps going like this, he will go mad, or die, or both.

For some reason, though, he can sleep whenever Harry Potter is with him. And Harry Potter is nothing if not a helper to those in need.

Harry, blushing in the background: Bloody fucking Malfoy

It's That Time of Year 🎄
