sometimes it’s annoying when your character can’t jump in a video game but how often do you jump in real life?

hey! i know this is weird coming from me because i’ve been MIA for a year and like — who even am i?? but i just want to address what i’m sure we’ve all been noticing on tumblr for a while now

and i’m sure this is happening in other fandoms too but i specifically only write for the harry potter fandom (literally just draco but that’s besides the point) so that’s what i want to talk about

anyways i’m sure by now we’ve all come to realize that hp fics on this app have hit an all time low

unless you’re writing a fic basically just about smut (and no shame to those that do that) your writing probably scores next to no notes and as a writer myself i know that you’re not supposed to do it for the notes but it’s honestly so demotivating to put so much effort into a piece of writing you’re super proud of and have it get no likes or reblogs because it’s not smut

tumblr isn’t what it used to be and so many people are leaving and as a singular blog it’s like well what the hell can i do about that?

but at the same time i know a lot of other people (and i’m hoping all of you) feel the exact same way as i do and i want to try and do something to bring old harry potter tumblr back

i’m not positive if everyone i tagged is even active anymore or still writes for harry potter… for those of you that have left the app or the fandom and do not wish to be included that is perfectly fine and i wish you well!! i also realize a few of the people i tagged are planning on leaving soon as well and if that’s still your choice afterwards that’s obviously okay too

for everyone else, i’m not even sure what we can do or where to start

i don’t want to tell writers “oh, from now on you can only write and post about angst” or “if a fic contains smut make sure you don’t interact with it” like that is absolutely not the message i’m trying to get across

but what i’m saying is maybe we can try and host an event where for a brief period writers of the harry potter fandom from when tumblr was at its peak (and of course newer and older ones as well) can come back all together and write to our hearts content with x reader angst and fluff to gain attention and traction for our favourite characters and try and make this fandom what it used to be

and obviously that may not be ideal because we all have our own lives and most of us are in school and have jobs so like when can we even do this?? but i for one thought christmas break was a good idea and saying that i recognize not everyone celebrates christmas but from what i know most schools still have a holiday break??

anyways it’s literally just a brain storm at the moment and this might flop and i’ll be embarrassed for a bit but if you read this far thank you for hearing me out

if anyone agrees and maybe wants to do something (it doesn’t have to be what i proposed at all) or has a better idea about how to do this please comment/like/reblog, send an ask, tag your moots, please get people interested and informed because i know i missed a million tags and i’m sorry for anyone i forgot

I did not come to have my heart broken

damn i was on my ride back home from a conference and my mind just went like:

what if draco stayed after his trial and started working in the ministry hoping to redeem himself and gives back to the wizarding community to help them repair homes after the war. although he’s trying his best, some wizards still believe he’s evil and working his way through inside the ministry to bring it down again. the exceptions to this are hermione granger and luna lovegood.

harry doesn’t understand why does his friends can easily forgive malfoy. all of a sudden, harry finds that all of his friends are friends of draco malfoy except him. hermione would say “give him a chance,” but harry was not ready to. the only person he trusts at this point is ron.

draco was later assigned as the department secretary of the aurors. he does all the filing and proof reading of every reports. he’s good at his job, harry reluctantly admits but that doesn’t mean it’s a good reason for him to start being mushy with malfoy.

draco tries to be civil of course, but their long history of fight and bullying at draco’s part makes it hard for harry to do the same. call him petty. he doesn’t care.

it was two years after draco’s stay at the department that harry mellows out. he’d seen malfoy’s changed behaviour and attitude. well, okay. malfoy is fucking rich but works for a bare minimum pay wage and mostly donates it to the charity. it’s a pretty darning evidence. he’d seen him eating lunch with hermione. he’d witnessed malfoy siding with muggleborns who are being discriminated in the streets. and had made a few quite friends from them.

so when draco asks him out for a dinner, it shocked him and said no out of panic. he sees draco’s defeated face and did not stop him when draco turned his back and walk to the lobby to go home.

the incident was on his mind for days. he hasn’t seen nor heard from draco. it’s either he’s good at avoiding harry or he’s just really busy. and harry doesn’t know why it bothers him. a lot.

after a week, his floo in the living room rings up. it was draco’s voice asking to be let in. harry steps aside and draco comes out of the floo.

“you owe me dinner.”

harry stammers, completely thrown back.

“i don’t owe you anything malfoy!”

“contrary on what you believe, you actually do. you owe me an apology.”

“what are you on? is this some kind of joke?”

“no, it’s not. it looks like i’m not getting the dinner and the apology. i’ll just get it in another way.”

“i don’t understand anything from what you’re saying.”

“i forgot gryffindors are a bit daft, aren’t they?”

“did you come here just to insult me?”

“merlin, you haven’t been listening. i told you, you owe me.”

“i’ve heard. what i don’t get it is the apology part.”

“i think your brain will combust if you worked it hard. there’s an easy way out of this. open your arms and close your eyes.”

“i’m not going to open my arms and close my eyes!”

“ah, right. you don’t trust me.”

“it’s not that i don’t trust you but i’m not going to do this until you tell me why i have to.”

“you’re not going to do it even if i tell you.”

“then why—”

“just shut your pretty mouth and let me do the talking. close your eyes. no peeking or i’ll kill you.”

“you’re not exactly convincing me here.”

“harry, please.”

his name coming from draco’s lips does the work.

harry closes his eyes and he feels arms coming around him and a chest closing on his own. draco is so warm and harry can’t help himself but return the hug.

“you’re not allowed to say anything.”

“okay.”

“harry, shut up.”

he feels draco’s head between his neck and he presses his body more to him. there’s a myriad of emotions growing inside of him but most importantly he feels relieved.

they stay hugging for five minutes. it was the calmest five minutes harry had so he whines when draco removes himself from harry.

“remember, no peeking.” draco whispers.

harry hears the floo fires out and he opens his eyes to an empty living room.

harry comes to the work the next day and sees a new person behind draco’s desk and a new plaque. the smile on his face is instantly wiped.
