Drarry where the Golden Trio are having a slightly tipsy 'Hear me out' conversation as they passed around a bottle of Elvish wine that they nicked from Slughorn's office.

"What about Gordon Horton?"

Harry and Hermione shared a confused look.

"Come on! Keeper for the Chudley Canons?"

"You're supposed to pick people we know, Ronald."

"Well excuse me," Ron said, throwing his hands in the air. "I forgot that you two have no taste."

"No taste! I will have you know that my taste is sophisticated and refined. Clearly something you don't relate to."

"Oh, oh, I see. Well since your taste is so sophisticated then by all means tell us who is your pick."

"There's Merrill Medlar. She's the chief editor of—"

"Who the hell is that? What happened to people we know?"

Harry hadn't had enough wine to tolerate their constant bickering.

"Malfoy," Harry said loudly, interrupting what would have surely been a row. "What about Malfoy?"

"Which one?" Ron and Hermione said at the same time before glaring at each other.

"What do you mean which one?" Harry frowned. "The choice is obviously—"

"Lucius." They said in unison again.

"What?" Harry gaped at them. "Lucius is a right piece of—"

"Wait," Hermione held up her hands, eyes wide. "You can't mean Draco then?"

"Of course I meant—"

"Don't say his name! Ugh, I never want to know him as Draco," Ron said, shuddering.

"Maybe I do!" Harry said, unsure why he was getting heated.

i just saw the tag “canon complicit” instead of “canon compliant” and im laughing its like “canon is a criminal act that i unfortunately support with this fic”

The Three Grades:

Canon Compliant: “This fic goes along with canon.” (Because I like it? Because I’m too tired to disagree by writing my own fic? Who knows? The author may or may not tell us.)

Canon Compatible: “Listen, I know it ISN’T canon, but think of it as Microsoft Office for Mac, it’s COMPATIBLE with canon, and that counts.”

Canon Complicit: “I have not died a hero, so I have become an accessory to the Villainy of Canon.”

Canon Compatible is a great term for when your fic is Probably Not What Tolkien Would Have Wanted but it doesn’t really contradict anything in canon either

New Fic, Part One

Someone robs Harry repeatedly, and he can’t let it go unanswered—has to solve the mystery. When he finds out the truth behind it all, it turns out that it might just be the best thing that has ever happened to him.

Excerpt:

“You!” Potter pointed at him. “You are the thief.” Draco blinked a few times, wondering if the Dark Lord had left long-lasting damage to Potter’s mind. It would certainly explain a few things. “You are the one in my home—unannounced, unwelcome and uninvited. I believe you fit the definition of a thief.” Potter stood up straighter, folding his invisibility cloak over an arm. “I am no thief. It’s not you who has been robbed for months. It’s not your hard work that’s stolen over and over again!” The Dark Lord must have left long-lasting damage. Draco watched Potter grow more unhinged as he ranted. “If you’ve been robbed, call the Aurors,” Draco drawled slowly, far too slowly to not be an insult. “It’s not my problem nor does it explain why you are in my home or better yet, how you managed to break in.” “I didn’t break in,” Potter sneered, stomping his foot like the child he clearly still was. “I held on to your House Elf as he robbed me.” Draco’s heart skipped a beat as his stomach sank. He glanced at Rismey who was still staring at the floor.

[...] Harry's seeking closure. Draco just wants to finish his essay in peace. They both end up with a little bit more.
