double drabble for dacro

[marginalia]

drowning - draco/harry


He doesn't know how long he's been out there, out in the rain, water plastering down his hair, dripping down the back of his neck. He doesn't know and it doesn't matter. Nothing matters.

He's out now, at least, out of the stuffy Great Hall and away from the eyes on him always, all the eyes except.

Except those. They flit away, resist capture from across the room. He felt them burning through his dress robes, but when he turned they were smiling, brotherly on Ginny Weasley, laughing on Ron and Hermione, concerned on Lupin.

Never seeing Draco.

The air goes out of the room and Draco flees, slipping through shadows, sliding onto the grounds, shoes squishing and squeaking through the wet grass.

The rain is slowing, and Draco is oddly disappointed. He tilts his head back, arms outstretched, cool mist alighting on his eyelashes, rain tumbling from the ends of his hair and disappearing in the dark damp of his robes.

He's only mildly startled when arms circle him from behind. "Why?" Harry whispers.

"Can't even look," Draco murmurs. "Can't take it."

Harry nods slowly, as if to himself, kisses the rain from Draco's face.

Draco forgets to breathe.

Hmmn. Pretty smut for my birthday. It's almost enough to make me want to be older. ;)

Pretty, though!

And, I hate loving this pair. It's a sickness. But, it's so good! ;)

I kill you all with Harry/Draco! HaHA!

:)

Re: awwww

[donnagirl.livejournal.com]

Well, it's a good way to go. :D

Re: awwww

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

NO! it's all about the harry/neville! *firm*

Re: awwww

[donnagirl.livejournal.com]

I'm not into that. :/

It's weird. Especially since of the whole prophecy thing now.

Explain the attraction!!!

Re: awwww

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

that's why! the prophecy sets them up. and he's a lovely match for harry because, unlike draco, he too has suffered from voldemort. the scene with his parents in ootp? killed me. he can't mourn like harry can, so it's almost more tragic. and he has a different kind of strength - he has such difficulty in anything other than herbology, right, which sets him up as being close to the earth and the natural world, which i'm more comfortable with, because i still don't understand where magic "comes from" in the potterverse. i don't know the rules.

and i don't like draco. canon or fanon. he doesn't interest me enough to want to redeem him, which is funny, because i'd love to redeem spike and he's a bleached blonde bad boy too ;)

i need to buy OotP and then reread everything.

Re: awwww

"that's why! the prophecy sets them up. and he's a lovely match for harry because, unlike draco, he too has suffered from voldemort."

Well, so have I!

:)

I love Neville. I just never perceived any chemistry or connection between Harry and Neville.

"and i don't like draco. canon or fanon. he doesn't interest me enough to want to redeem him, which is funny, because i'd love to redeem spike and he's a bleached blonde bad boy too ;)"

I think the reason people favor Draco is circumstantial. The reason he's a great big jerk is because of who raised him. I feel that Draco doesn't really understand how evil his father and his connections is/are. He's just daddy's boy. I think that once he does understand--he'll probably freak out. Then who will he have to turn to?

Plus, his taunts of Harry are usually so... blowhard. He's a poseur of what he thinks his father wants him to be... and like I said, I don't think he really knows how sinister that is.

It's weird. I'm not that big a fan of slash... except I adore all LotRrps... and Harry/Draco. I don't want Harry with Ron, I don't want Harry with Neville... I don't evne want Harry with Hermione... But to me, Harry/Draco makes as much sense as Buffy/Spike.

;)

so, there. :D

i need to buy OotP and then reread everything.

Re: awwww

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

super belated reply comment

i'm rereading now - i'm in PoA at the moment (where, at the very beginning when harry gets on the knight bus he gives his name as neville longbottom :P )

see, i don't care about who draco will turn to cause i just . .don't care about draco :D

and i don't like buffy/spike, either. i'm just difficult :P

hmmmmmmmm..

*thinks about writing Jaci some Harry/Neville*

[dacro.livejournal.com]

Thank-you so much Jaci!

*hug*
I don't know what to say, it's so beautiful.

Your writing captures me..what a special birthday gift.

The deatail in this part makes it my fave:

(The rain is slowing, and Draco is oddly disappointed. He tilts his head back, arms outstretched, cool mist alighting on his eyelashes, rain tumbling from the ends of his hair and disappearing in the dark damp of his robes.)

wow.
you know I love you, right?
~J~

Re: oh!

[dacro.livejournal.com]

heh

Re: oh!

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

Re: oh!

[dacro.livejournal.com]

Thanks again Jaci. no one has ever written anything like this for me before.

...and such a beautiful scene.

is it wrong that I want to be the rain that gets to run around on Draco's skin?

*drip drip*

Re: oh!

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

Re: oh!

[dacro.livejournal.com]

um..he's sleeping!

*soaks into Draco's robes*

heh

[dorrie6.livejournal.com]

Dood. It's not even my birthday, but I'm all giddy. :)

"Can't even look," Draco murmurs. "Can't take it."


That fucking killed me. Just so you know. This is all heart-poundy and amazing and stuff.
