toscas_kiss: Tosca's Kiss Steampunk Kiss (Always behind you)
Six Harry Potter Drabbles... all Draco-centric. Written for the [livejournal.com profile] hp100 previous challenges challenge:

Title: Never again!
Pairings: Draco/Harry
Author's Notes: Challenge #1: First Times


Draco stumbled, white and shaking, to the bench, descending with more urgency than grace.

“That was revenge, wasn’t it? For our school years. And all the horrible things I did.”

“I just thought you’d like to...” Harry’s explanation evaporated under Draco’s venomous glare, which promised future repercussions. When he was able, that was.

“Oh Merlin, I think I’m going to be sick.”

Words wafted up from between jean-clad knees as Draco attempted to quell his stomach’s rebellion,

“Trusting that mechanical monstrosity. Muggles are insane.”

Damn. Harry sighed. Looked like rollercoaster rides could definitely be crossed off their ‘Romantic Outings’ list.

Title: Unattainable
Character: Draco
Author's Notes: Challenge #2: Mirror of Erised


He knew what it was as soon as he read the inscription, and despite all the childhood warnings he’d been given about enchanted mirrors and suchlike, couldn’t resist looking in.

Just a quick peek, he told himself. Just to see.

And Erised showed him nothing startling - his father; free, untroubled, smiling, and resplendent in his finest robes, with an arm around Draco’s shoulders, saying,

“I’m proud of you, son.”

His heart’s desire was little surprise to him, no matter how improbable achieving it now seemed. No, what caught him unawares was the disquiet thought that perhaps it always had been.


+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

Title: Family Tradition
Characters: Draco, Lucius
Author's Notes: Challenge #3: Expelled


The last view he had of Hogwarts before the Portkey swirled them away was of Dumbledore’s disappointed face. Then the forest green of his father’s study replaced it. Lucius looked sternly at him,

“Well, Draco.”

The temptation to spout excuses was almost overwhelming, but self-preservation reduced him to a single meek query,

“Father?”

Lucius grinned, a blaze of predatory delight,

“Congratulations! I don’t think a Malfoy’s ever been expelled for doing that to an entire school before! Though how many times must I tell you – ‘don’t get caught’? Now, about Beauxbaton…”

Whew. It was going to be all right after all.

Title: Letter to Granger
Characters: Draco, Hermione
Author's Notes: Challenge #4: Dead Letter


Mudblood Granger,

Apparently I get to write one letter before passing on to ‘Greater Things’ and I’ve chosen you as my lucky correspondent. No, this isn’t an apology, even Dumbledork wouldn’t be that deluded, merely a friendly notice you should get your snub nose out of those books and wonder what your husband (though I shudder to think of the Weasel married, even to you, and breeding yet more redheaded blights on society) and Scarhead Potter really get up to on their ‘boys nights’ out. Or perhaps I should have chosen Pottyer as my ‘corespondent’.

Yours insincerely,
Draco Malfoy [deceased]

Title: Something Else
Character: Draco POV
Author's Notes: Challenge #5: Patronus
“'The Patronus is a kind of positive force, a projection of the very things that the Dementor feeds upon - hope, happiness, the desire to survive.”


Happy thought. Happy thought. Happy fucking thought.

It just isn’t bloodywell working. My mind’s as empty as Longbottom’s.

Father. Father in one of his good moods, listening indulgently.

Not something that’s likely to happen again, with him in Azkab…

OK, not a happy thought.

Flying. Flying makes me happy. Speed and height and danger and control. King of the World.

Except for constantly losing at Quidditch and…

Thanks Potter, just kill my happy thought.

Shit.

No. I’m damned if I’ll succumb to this petty leech. I will survive. I will. No bargain-basement horror is going to… oh.

Oh.

That’s beautiful.


+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

Title: So Not Happening
Characters: Draco, Hermione, Ron, Harry, Greg
Author's Notes: Challenge #6: When Pigs Fly and also challenge #11 New Spell. Whoohoo! Two for the price of one.


“Hermione, my beloved flower of witchly womanhood, let me hold that door for you.”

Draco opened said fixture with a flourish and courteously bowed the astonished Hermione through. As Ron passed he punched him chummily on the shoulder,

“Hey pal, meet you at the Three Cauldrons tomorrow for a butterbeer and yarn about the Cannon’s latest brilliant game?”

Ron scurried through, alarmed. Harry warily approached the exit. The class’s sniggers silenced as Draco plastered Harry to the door, pashing him fervently.

Goyle winced. Malfoy was going to absolutely kill him when the effects of Greg’s miscast Psyche Reversus wore off.
