“Happy to know you’ve got your chess piece locked in place?”

Draco Malfoy

based on the fic:

-Manacled by SenLinYu

Oh Draco you were such a controversial character but I ended up loving you

I’ve just finished this amazing fic and I have a void right now cause this was one of the best thing I’ve ever read in my life and now I don’t know what to do about it

I just felt the need to draw something about this story and of course it have to be him

Warning spoilers ‼️

I finished it and now I have a void inside of me that will always accompany my fragile reader soul

Oh god it was SO good and it made me felt SO many emotions (sometimes at the same time so I had to take some breaks in order to keep reading while still enjoying it)

I can’t believe what I’m about to say but this turn on the story was better than the actual ending of the canon one. Because it felt so much more realistic and the emotions were in point

I ended up loving and understanding Draco Malfoy, another thing that I never had thought about before I would be able to do, in a different way than the canon Draco cause, obviously, this one has more background, more realistic outcomes, the way he felt, the way he loved.

Brilliant, just brilliant

Im so happy to had read it cause I must say, I never enjoyed reading angst before or something so, you know, HEAVY but it was raw, humanly raw that it make it addictive to keep on reading

I formed so many theories along the way about what was going on or how it was going to be that at the end I was glad some of them became true while others didn’t. God I was so relieved that the ending wasn’t what I was expecting. They deserved to have a somewhat happy ending. I was so ready to cry my heart out but they lived, they finally were able to have a life together so that was enough to my sensitive heart ❤️‍🩹

So… I started to read manacled… and I’m scared

So… I started to read manacled… and I’m scared

I forgot to explain the symbolism of the chess pieces I chose

🤍 The white queen is for Hermione *of course * cause she is HIS queen, she is HIS and he will do anything to keep her alive. Even if she is in the other counterpart of the war.

🖤 The black horse is for Draco cause I thought about the trojan horse and how it fit with Draco’s infiltration and how he destabilizes Voldemort regimen. So it’s not related with the horse chess piece itself.

And for the poses of the pieces

The queen is in his grip indicating possession while the horse is leaning on her, even if he doesn’t want to, and that’s why the horse is not looking at the queen, cause he’s trying to fighting it

And let’s just say that I know barely nothing about chess lol so I improvised

Finally, I’m back with more Manacled content! 🌌

Work has been crazy this whole year and taken its toll on my energy levels and creativity, but slowly and steady another piece has formed into place. 🖊

This one is inspired by chapter 25 💫

I’ve been eager to finish and post this for you guys ✨

Again, also a huge thank you to the author of the story @senlinyu - Thank you for always keeping me inspired with so many beautiful ideas to dream about. Hopefully I will be able to post more frequently from now on. I have lots of plans made already 🌙
