This Is Amazing

A beautifully done interpretation of the Slytherin dorms.

The pool of water/ceiling light is based on the idea of an aristocratic Roman impluvium/compluvium. Gryffindor has a furnace in the center of the dorm rooms, so it seemed like an nice yin-yang effect as Gryffindor=fire and Slytherin=water. I’m not sure if the compluvium would magically let rainwater (and snow, and hail!?) in from the lake above, or not. I think it should.

…it’s the potion fumes, you know. Simple, explanation 😇

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.

it’s a problem

Candles

Where Draco runs a candle shop selling Amortentia candles and Harry wonders why his smell a bit too much like the store owner.

When Harry walks into Scentsations, the tan wizard grins at the pun. The shop was one that made specific scents that caused a mix of sensations the buyers would experience. Scentsations had just begun to grow in popularity as soon as the owner had released their Amortentia candles which had quickly become a hit. Harry, of course, had been intrigued at the concept. 

He and Hermione stood in the middle of the shop in awe. It wasn’t nearly as packed as it had been hours before; it was late afternoon now and the duo had arrived tarty in order to avoid it. “Wow,” Hermione gapes and Harry chuckles. This was the first time in a while he had seen Hermione so blown away.

When customers walked into Edeka supermarket in Hamburg recently, they were surprised to find that the shelves were almost empty, and the small handful of products that remained were all made in Germany. It seemed like the supermarket had simply forgotten to restock their produce until customers saw the mysterious signs left around the shop. “So empty is a shelf without foreigners,” read one sign at the cheese counter. “This shelf is quite boring without variety,” read another.

It turns out that Edeka, in a rather controversial move, had opted to solely sell German food for a day in order to make a powerful statement about racism and ethnic diversity. As a result, there were no Greek olives, no Spanish tomatoes, and very little of anything else that can normally be found in a typical modern household. “Edeka stands for diversity, and we produce a wide range of food in our assortment, which is produced in the different regions of Germany,” said an Edeka spokesman. “But it is together with products from other countries that we create the unique diversity that our customers value.” (Source)

I’m such a drarry fan I can literally imagine draco saying this

“Your apartment smells curiously like garbage.”
