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
LISTEN YOU… I WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONE WRITING THIS GOD DAMMIT! Tagging @violetclarity for inciting shit too. :D
Word count: 200
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….”
Draco: father will be hearing about this
Harry: …
Harry: we’re writing our wedding invitations
Draco: yes he will be so pleased
Harry: Draaaa-cooo?... Have you got any spare pain potions?
Draco: *Squinting suspiciously* ... Why?
Harry: My leg hurts...
Draco:
Draco: So what you're telling me-
Harry: Here we go-
Draco: -Is that when I said that trying to skateboard like a muggle, with no practice, on concrete-
Harry: It was asphalt-
Draco: Was a bad idea...
Harry: It was something I'd always wanted to do as a child!
Draco: And then not take anything after you inevitably crashed and landed in a crumpled heap on the floor-
Harry: It wasn't that bad!
Draco: And that it would hurt later-
Harry: It didn't feel too bad at the time!
Draco: I was right!
Harry:
Harry: Look, I'm sorry, alright? What do you want from me?!
Draco: *Grinning smugly* Nothing, darling. Nothing at all!
Harry: (in a crowd and can’t find Ron)
Harry: (cups hands over mouth) HARRY POTTER HAS STUPID HAIR
Draco: WHO SAID THAT I WILL FIGHT YOU
Harry: wait what
just think about it:
- she gives ginny a stick and poke in their fourth year, the first tattoo she’s ever given anyone - a tiny crescent moon on the inside of her forearm with magic color changing ink - it tells ginny the weather, and glows when the weather is perfect for quidditch
- hagrid gleefully gets a tattoo from luna sometime in the fifth year - on his inner ankle, a square of text tells him about the needs of the creatures around him - he starts sitting with his ankle on his knee to more easily check it
- she gives harry a tattoo the summer before his eighth year - a small horntail, but it moves from his chest to sit on his shoulder or cower in the crook of his elbow as it pleases - it wakes him up from his bad dreams, and keeps him warm in the middle of the night
- she gives neville a tattoo before she was stolen into the malfoy’s manor - it’s a ring encircling his middle finger - the magic of it is simple, transforming into whatever word he needs to see most when he asks it
- seamus gets one not long after neville - it’s a tiny bomb on his collar bone, ticking in time with dean’s heart
- hermione doesn’t want a tattoo at first, but as she grows closer with luna she asks for it very shyly in the middle of her eighth year - it gently pulses with her heart on her shoulder blade, an hourglass on it’s side - it will sometimes stand up and run sand, but only when hermione is very busy or stressed
- george asks for a tattoo that finishes his jokes, many years after the war, when he is an uncle and godfather - luna refuses and instead gives him a non-magical tattoo, a china cup mended with gold over his heart
- draco, many years after luna is an established artist and healer, drops into her shop in diagon alley - he asks her to fix his scar-slashed Mark, and she turns it into a sleeve of flowers, studded with snakes and turtles - the flowers bloom with his moods, and shield him from hurting himself
Can I propose to you a new Harry Potter? One raised by Sirius and Remus, one who shared his father’s Indian heritage, who wears leather jackets and denim over hoodies, who shops second hand and uses magic or just old fashioned dyes, paints and a needle to make them new again, who has long curly hair and pins it up with his wand like is godfather, who can do magic without his wand with Hermione’s help long before deathly hallows, who bonds with Hermione over the sheer amount of hair care products they have weighing down their luggage, who makes friendship braclets with Luna and they start a band together as they bond over punk shit. One who isn’t afraid of Draco but instead spends a lot of time trying to help him. Whose little brother Teddy was born through a surrogate in the order, and every time Harry comes home on holiday he brings the kid some new punk CD or candy or some prank stuff from the weasley’s joke shop. Who probably gave himself a lightening bolt stick and poke after his scar faded to go along with the one of the two deer he gave himself in second year. He probably also gave Ron a stick and poke too, and a few other members of gryffindor tower. Neville probably has a phoebe buffay tattoo from that time.
Regulus Black joins the Death Eaters, but he’s really not prepared for what he finds inside their ranks…
Harry Potter AU in which Fred and George are in different houses and they steal and wear each others ties whilst doing stupid things in hope of the others house losing points
