the problem with making a playlist for your own writing is that you’re in deep enough that you can justify literally any song to be in it
What if Draco had a diary which he called Father, like he made it when he was young to compensate for his dad being to busy with work to listen to him.
So everytime he said “wait till my father hears about it.” He’s actually running to his dorm to pull out his diary and write his feelings into it.
Like probably something like:
“Dear Father, Potter did not pay attention to me today and it’s all that stupid Weasley’s fault. I hate him and I hate all Potter’s friends because if they never existed me and Potter would be snogging by now and he’d love me and I’d be happy. And gosh, I hate my life!! Signed Draco Potter-Malfoy “
Pansy knows about the Diary and reads it daily because she’s bored. She sometimes corrects his grammatical errors to piss him off.
while looking up 1950s slang, i found the phrase “come on snake, let’s rattle,” which has 2 meanings: asking someone to dance, and challenging someone to a fight
and. hhhooooooooo boy does that fact have some Potential
Reblog if you respect fanfiction writers and believe a fandom would be nothing without them.
my favorite kind of fanfics are “canon divergence” because it’s always like handing back a reviewed essay with comments like “I enjoyed the strong beginning but here is where you lost me, I’ve made some notes”
Harry hadn’t actually meant it when he told Draco that “he should try not getting arrested every few weeks.” At the time maybe he had, but Harry had grown antsy over the past few weeks.
Things had been quiet. Too quiet.
“You’d like to what?” the Head of the Aurours department asked.
“I’d like to conduct a search for Draco Malfoy,” Harry replied. Ron stood at his side looking unimpressed. Search missions required back up by law, and Harry had managed to convince a reluctant Ron to be his.
“He’s not going to give this up,” Ron pointed out.
“You know what, fine. Fine. But make it quick.”

Harry found Draco in the basement of Fangtasia brooding at 11am on a Thursday.
“You’re not wearing the necklace,” Draco pouted.
“That thing was bloody hideous Malfoy,” Ron said defending his friend. Draco actually looked almost offended.
“Come on Draco we both know that you usually have much better taste,” Harry said as gently as he could. Draco had clearly been struggling ever since he’d become a vampire, and as amusing as it was to watch, Harry wanted Draco to accept himself and find happiness...preferably with Harry.
“I knew you liked the leather,” Draco said proudly gesturing to his current outfit. Harry just shook his head and decided not to start this arguement.
“Draco are you okay?” Harry asked. The basement was windowless, but well lit. Draco sat at the head of a long table filled with unoccupied seats.
“None of them came,” Draco said looking at the empty seats around him with dismay.
“None of who came?” Harry asked.
“I tried to construct a founders council, and invited all the prominent Vampire families, but no one showed up,” Draco sulked. Harry nudged Ron before the boy could start laughing.
Harry was prepared for this. Harry had researched the Vampire Diaries when he’d realized Draco’s habit of picking up the identies of famous fictional vampires.
Harry spent the rest of the day making calls with Draco. They ended up enlisting Luna’s help and instead created a council of influential magical minorities.
Harry hopes that this was a good substitute for the support groups Draco had opted out of having. But wasn’t surprised when Draco ended up back in his office a week later.
Vampire Draco XD

Harry sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose for what felt like the 20th time this month. Today was supposed to be a normal day, his day for paperwork and non-magical nonsense. So when his eyes fell on Draco, sitting as casually as possible in Harry’s office chair, Harry knew his day was done.
“What did you do this time?” Harry sighed, waving his hands in a way that indicated Draco should get the fuck out of his chair.
“I asked a wizard if he knew what I was….”
Harry looked at Draco quizzically. “What’s wrong with that?”
Draco sighed and reached into his pocket, pulling out a handful of glitter. Harry stared, already knowing where this was going but really hoping it wasn’t.
“Draco… Please tell me you didn’t.”
“….I did.”
Harry let his head fall to his desk, hands pulling out his hair in hard tugs.
“But- But, just listen! It was going great, I was broody and reciting poetry. He was totally hooked.”
“And then…?”
“And then I threw glitter in his face.”
“Draco, what the actual fuck? That’s not even… The vampire in that book fucking actually sparkles. Like “diamonds”… He doesn’t throw sparkles.“
“Oooooh….”
