The Time When Harry And Malfoy Are Surprisingly Domestic; And Ron Nearly Cannot Process That :

The time when Harry and Malfoy are surprisingly domestic; And Ron nearly cannot process that :

Ron would never believe what he was seeing before his eyes.

Malfoy lived in a studio flat now, Harry had said. They had buried their old rivalry now, Harry had said. Harry was quite taken up with the blond ferret git now, he had said.

What Ron expected though, was certainly not this.

Upon stepping out of the floo into the living room, Hermione in tow, Ron’s brows began to furrow in confusion. The sight which welcomed him was a large, spacey room with furniture sparsely covering its white marble floor. The fireplace behind him cackled loudly, illuminating the huge wooden table in the middle of the room etched with meticulously designed carvings. The room was dimly lit otherwise, an open kitchen to the corner of the flat and paintings decorating the ivory coloured walls, family heirlooms floating along a corridor leading to a door which could only be the bathroom. At a side, a sofa with golden trimmings sat.

When Harry said studio flat, Ron did not expect this large, posh room with space enough to host a party. But of course, he wouldn’t expect less with Malfoy. If Malfoy was to live in a studio flat, it would be a mansion studio.

But what Ron really didn’t expect, was the sight before him. On the bed. An odd feeling welled up within Ron, as he felt his chest had ceased working to take breaths in. He felt like he was intruding into a fantasy bubble.

Because before him, Malfoy was perched in the middle of a king size bed which was placed several feet off the ground on a small platform, half lying against the wall behind him. With one hand, he was flipping a book casually held in it, and the other hand…was currently wrapped protectively around the figure basically on top on him.

Ron could recognize that nest of messy dark hair anywhere, having known his best friend for a decade and said best friend’s profile always plastered on posters. What he could not begin to process, was that Harry was currently lying face down, sprawled across Malfoy, snoring softly. His face was buried deep against Malfoy’s collar bone, arms loosely clutching the body under him, in his, apparently, deep slumber. Malfoy’s chin was resting gently atop Harry’s head, eyes peering down at his book in concentration. A comfortable-looking duvet was thrown across both of their bodies, covering Harry waist down. Malfoy’s arms were left out.

What slightly unnerved Ron was, the both of them looked so cozy that it seemed like they had resumed the same position for the millionth time. Ron has no idea that this was the definition of “taken up”.

Hearing commotion, Malfoy eventually lifted his head up from his literature. He blinked at the couple before him for a moment, sighed, but not unkindly, then shifted.

To Ron’s slight horror, the ferret shut his book after marking his place in it, throwing it to a side, then used his now free hand to…begin slipping it into the head of dark hair resting on his chest. His fingers moved smoothly, tangling in the messiness. Ron looked on as Malfoy slowly caressed and massaged the scalp.

Then Malfoy began speaking, in the gentlest tone Ron had heard the git used that lacked every ounce of bitterness that he was familiar with. “Love, get up. They’re here.”

Gradually, the still figure on him began to stir. Clinging to Malfoy yet, he reached up to rub a fist into his eyes. Harry was not wearing his glasses, Ron noticed. Malfoy smiled down at him affectionately, a smile so secretive that Ron was not sure that he should be allowed to watch. Uneasiness in him remained, he watched on. Malfoy thumbed away a strand of hair which was blocking Harry’s face, cupping the cheeks in a light grasp and pressed a kiss to the scarred forehead, rousing his lover to wakefulness. Ron inhaled sharply.

Harry made a noise of confusion, but got up from his spot previously basically stuck to Malfoy. He staggered up, stepping down from the platform of the bed, which made him stand taller than Malfoy’s sitting form. A side of his face was red with imprints from being pressed to Malfoy’s shirt. Malfoy looked up at him with an almost fond, open expression on his face, soft smile still lingering. They started a what seemed like silent conversation with glances, or so Ron assumed, before Harry pointed a thumb towards the corridor. Malfoy nodded. “Go, shoo,” He said, waving a hand.

Then he turned to Ron and Hermione, acknowledging them for the first time since they got into the flat. “Sorry about that,” He said, with no intention of moving from the bed, “Poor one was working himself exhausted from doing overtime the whole week. He thought he could stay awake. I bet he can’t.” He gave a polite but slightly smug grin to Ron, and Ron suddenly found everything surreal.

“Aww,” Hermione whispered beside him while they all wait for Harry to come out of the bathroom, “Aren’t they so cute?”

“Yeah,” Ron found himself agreeing, his voice faint to his own ears, “Which is exactly the issue here. What the hell was that?”

the hardest lines ALWAYS come from ao3 fanfics and I stand by this

Mostly thanks to @emilyelizabethfowl (their reblog contains many of the fic links!! thank u sm) and a few deep dives into my ao3 history, the sources of the quotes have mostly all been recovered! I apologise for not posting them all with proper credit originally, I truly didn't think the post would blow up so much, but the lesson is very much learned :) enjoy!

- number 1 is another merthur fic, called Destiny Ordered You To Die, But I Willed You To Live by ironfamjam (apparently also appears in Filling the gaps, a spiderman fic by the same author!)

-The klance one (number 2) is from reach out for you (break these walls) by Paladin-Pile (UserFromPluto)

- number 3 is a batman fic called Home (jason centered) by Daisybirb

- number 4 is a zukka fic by I'm Not Angry Anymore by team_avatars_eyebags

- two are from The Art Of Burning by hella1975, an amazing ongoing atla following zuko (also zukka but it hasn't quite happened yet) - numbers 5 and 9 to be exact

- number 6 is a hualian fic called No paths are bound by cataclysmic_calamity (originally a thread fic but also fully uploaded on ao3)

- number 7 is a merthur fic called tell me every terrible thing you ever did (and let me love you anyway) by Stardustwrites17 (the quote is also originally from a poem by Sade Andria Zabala or Edgar Allen poe apparently)

- The batman one (number 8) is from Nature and Nurture by lurkinglurkerwholurks

- number 10 is from a steddie fic called let me know (everythings alright) by bexiguess (had too dig deep to find this one - the stranger things phase last summer was no joke 😭)

ALSO there is now a part 2 !! (which I swear is better organized)

Summer Language Plan

OKAY ! So I’ve got quite a bit of plans for language learning this summer and I was thinking if I post it to tumblr then hopefully it’ll be more than just wishful thinking. SO without further ado, here are my plans.

French (reach B2)

finish Dracula by August 31 (6 pages per day minimum)

at least one hour of active learning a day (grammar practice, vocabulary, etc)

at least five new words each day

write 3,000+ word story

German (reach B2)

at least one hour of active learning a day (grammar practice, vocabulary, etc)

at least five new words each day

translate one poem/song/paragraph a week

Italian (reach A1)

at least one hour and a half of active learning a day (grammar practice, vocabulary, etc)

at least seven new words a day

What does active learning look like?

I’m glad you asked, self. While reading books and listening to music is great for language learning, unless there are comprehension questions at the end, I would consider it passive learning. Here are some active learning exercises that are (hopefully) more interesting than just doing plain textbook drills.

write a sparknotes summary for each episode of a TV show or book you’re engaging with. Bonus points if show/book is in a different language than your summaries, because that requires you to interact with new vocabulary.

find x number of vocabulary terms then weave them into a story or poem. Doesn’t have to be long or complex

film or voice record yourself talking about a topic that means a lot to you, then note down what words and grammar you have yet to learn

Okay, you need to make sure you play this game at some point. Maybe not today or anything, because you’ll need about thirty minutes and a serious willingness to understand how it works, but - it’s so worth it. It’s basically an answer to our occasional frustration - why do assholes always come out on top? - and the beautiful thing about it is that not only does it explain how that happens, but also how we can change it.

“In the short run, the game defines the players. But in the long run, it’s us players who define the game.”

The Benefits

1 - They’re inexpensive

You can get a small whiteboard on Amazon from as little as £2.00, bigger ones are slightly more expensive starting at about £5.00 but that’s up to your personal preference.

2 - They’re erasable

The best thing about whiteboards is that they’re erasable! This means that you don’t use as much paper - so you’re saving money and helping the environment.

3 - They’re versatile

There are so many different uses for whiteboards that you’ll never think ‘i dont use that it was a waste of money’

My favourite Uses

1 - Essay Planning

Being a History undergrad, essay planning is what 90% of my life. Using a whiteboard means that I can change the order of my arguments, erase and add details whenever I want.

2 - Mind Maps

Mind Mapping can be super useful when essay planning, planning revision or connecting topics using a whiteboard means that you can easily mind map and erase/change any information easily.

3- To-do lists

Writing a to-do list on a whiteboard is so useful when you complete something just erase it!

4 - Teaching

My favourite method of studying/revising is to pretend to be teaching the subject to someone else, not only does this help you memorise the topic but it also shows gaps in your knowledge. If you can teach a topic then you definitely understand it.

5 - Practicing

If you study maths, for example, you can use a whiteboard to answer practice questions.

My Personal Experience

I have used whiteboards to study since I was in high school, meaning I’ve used them throughout my A-Levels and currently University (about 6 years). When I was revising for my psychology exams my friend and I would bring to college a set of whiteboard pens.

We would go into an empty classroom and use the big whiteboard to write the names of each study, we would then take it in turns to fill in details about the study from memory. THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH! and it was a fun way to study so I 10/10 recommend.

If you have any questions please ask me, also I don’t have stocks in whiteboards I just think they’re super useful!

a growing realisation that you aren’t going to change the world after all

The years from late middle age onward are also marked by a steady erosion of ambition. The cause isn’t so much a loss of drive as a growing realisation that you aren’t going to change the world after all. You’re just going to die and be forgotten, like almost everyone else. The knowledge that your existence doesn’t really matter is sobering, but also sort of a relief. It’s certainly changed my approach to paperwork.

— Tim Dowling, from “I’m nearly 60. Here’s what I’ve learned about growing old so far.” (The Guardian, June 8, 2022)
