“A trope I wish we saw more in drarry fics is Draco finding out that Harry was supposed to be in Slytherin. I just know he would LOSE it.” OMG I LOVE THIS ❤️ Do you have any headcannons about how it’d go? 🙂‍↕️👉🏼👈🏼

It happens post-war once they've finally found each other again (because they always do) and once they've gotten over the initial awkwardness and started properly talking and discovered they actually kind of enjoy their conversations. They fall into a sort of easy, teasing banter (a gentler version of their earlier dynamic that stays away from anything truly painful).

Sometimes they revive their old House rivalry in a joking way. And inevitably in one of these conversations, Draco makes fun of Harry for doing something devious (which he secretly finds deeply attractive) because isn't that awfully Slytherin? And Harry drops the "well actually, I was supposed to be in Slytherin" truth bomb and Draco has an irl 'record scratch' moment.

Draco thinks Harry's joking at first. And then he is incredulous. Because no. NO. It can't be! He is actually speechless for a few seconds.

Harry fills those few seconds with an explanation of how Dumbledore says it's your choices that matter and thus he isn't REALLY a Slytherin because he chose- But at that point Draco regains his powers of speech. And no. Absolutely not. He is never letting this go. The Hat said Harry was supposed to be in Slytherin and that's where he belongs. This explains SO much.

Of course, then it gets a bit serious because Draco asks why Harry asked not to be in Slytherin and Harry sort of hedges and is all 'er, well I sort of heard some things-" and Draco immediately realizes what Harry isn't saying. "It was because of me, wasn't it?" he says wryly, half incredulous, half resigned. And Harry says "Well, not only because of you but...yeah. I met you. That day in-" "Madam Malkins. I remember," Draco finishes. He shrugs and admits it was probably for the best since while he'd like to imagine they could have been friends he doubts it would have worked out like that. "You always did know how to avoid making friends with the wrong sort," he says - aiming for joking but coming off just a bit too bitterly self deprecating. And then he snorts and the tension is broken. "Merlin. Can you imagine us sharing a dormitory when we were in school? What a nightmare." And suddenly it's all funny again.

‘boisterous himbo jock’ harry vs ‘hapless dainty damsel’ harry—pick your fighter, i can’t decide which one irks me more.

he can be clever and sporty, scrawny and adroit, powerful and low-profile, quiet and unflinching. they’re not mutually exclusive traits.

and he is all of that. canonically.

i love looking through the users who kudos my fics like im so happy you liked my story sevikas8inchpussydestroyer

She's also publicly stated that she believes that anyone who reads her books or watches her shows and films does so because they explicitly agree with her political views.

There's no "agree to disagree" with her work. Every time you pick up her work or talk about it you are saying to her "I agree with you Joanne" whether you like it or not.

I disagree, and I think that allowing her to dictate those terms gives her more power. It also erases all the trans people and otherwise queer people who found comfort and escapism in her books when they were young and different and scared and needed it, and still connect to that experience now. It erases the abuse victims who found themselves in her stories and got through rough childhoods thanks to them. There is no ONE way to experience literature, and allowing a bigoted, delusional author to decide so is both giving her undue power and influence when she has more than she should already, and erasing the people who choose to reclaim their experience with her work and have a right to. You don't get to decide how someone engages with their personal history, especially not marginalized and abused people.

You can pick up her work or talk about it without supporting her. Pirate the books. Pirate the films. Write slash fic that would send her blood pressure through the roof. Genderbend her characters. Make fan art that she has no control over and that you make for yourself and not relative to her. Go wild. Her word means nothing. Some judgmental tumblr user's word means nothing. As long as you don't give Rowling money and don't support her bigotry, your thoughts are yours, your conversations with your friends are yours, and the second you concede them to the panopticon is the second you start to slide towards fascism, frankly. And if you decide that for you, these stories are no longer something you can stomach or love, that's fine too! The real truth is that there's no singular truth - your choice is what matters, and the ability to have it, regardless of what a delusional billionaire bigot says, and regardless of what the tumblr morality police want you to do.

She's not the first problematic or even bigoted author whose work has irrevocable cultural influence and longevity, and she won't be the last. If you stopped engaging with every problematic literary work there would be no books left. The solution isn't to ignore what's problematic, it's to understand it, or reclaim it, or analyze it and contextualize it. Otherwise we never grow.

I don’t think Tom Riddle ever planned on looking like a snake/losing his good looks. I know this is not a popular opinion in fandom but I think he fucked up. I think he fucked simply because no one before ever went as far as him with Horcruxes so he had no idea what to expect regarding collateral damages and side effects. I don’t think he particularly minded losing his good looks but it wasn’t in his plans.

It's true that in canon, Harry is much more mature than Draco due to his traumatic upbringing and the responsibilities placed on him from a young age. Draco, on the other hand, lived a sheltered life, so he would be quite naive and childish—at least until he was given a task that forced him to change his overall mindset and behavior. Post-war, I’d say their maturity levels would be more or less the same.

But I like to think that sometimes Draco's childish behavior would still come out. I can see him occasionally indulging in little tantrums or petty behavior, but in a way that's more playful than mean-spirited. Like, Draco might get irrationally grumpy over something trivial, while Harry, who finds it refreshing, just watches in amusement.
