It’s hard to write drarry because on the one hand, as a fic writer you want to be careful not to go overboard, especially with a noncanon ship, and to develop the relationship gradually and naturally. But you also want to be faithful to canon. And canon is just so outrageously over the top when it comes to these two.
Special shoutout to:
The time in book 2 when Lucius gets annoyed with Draco because he has spent the entire summer talking about Harry Potter and his scar and his broomstick.
The time in book 2 when Draco didn’t notice the snitch was next to his face because he was looking at Harry (and Harry only sees it because he’s turning around to glare at Draco).
The time in book 4 at the Quidditch World Cup when Harry, Ron, and Hermione got into an argument with Draco while running away from Death Eaters, and Harry takes time to notice that Draco’s eyes are glittering. Even though he should have other things on his mind and the lighting is poor.
The time in book 5 when Harry described the rest of the Slytherin Quidditch team in unflattering terms, but noticed how Draco’s hair was gleaming in the sunlight.
The time in book 5 when Harry and Draco were making faces at each other during their O.W.L. Charms practical, and Draco got so distracted he smashed a wine glass.
The time in book six when in the middle of having a very heated altercation in Madam Malkins Harry noticed that the robes Draco was trying on looked handsome.
The time in book 6 when Harry immediately noticed that Draco had a new traveling cloak because apparently he keeps track of all his clothing.
The time in book 6 when Harry got so distracted by Draco changing into his robes that he got hit in the face by Goyle’s luggage.
The approximately 88990808 times Harry notices Draco’s hair/eyes/skin/voice/facial features.
And those are just the most extreme, over the top, if-this-was-in-fic-it-might-be-A-Bit-Much moments

I want you all to know that an Arab Muslim from Tunis proposed the Theory of Evolution near 600 years before Charles Darwin even took his first breath. Don’t let them erase you.
Welcome to Earth.
i think love can be about the grand gestures like kissing in the rain and perfectly planned proposals but i also think it’s about smaller things, like wishing you’d known someone at thirteen or spending hours messing around and making them laugh at the cheesecake factory, or spending your best halloween ever with them, or feeling like you could write a thesis on why everyone should be in love with them, or feeling so strongly about them that you could talk about your connection for days and weeks and months and years, but being too shy to do so because it’s raw and personal and yours. it’s about knowing you’ll love someone when you meet them and being protective of them in small ways.

I just watched this amazing german/swiss movie about two soccer players falling in love, called ‘Mario’ (it’s on Netflix and amazon video) and it’s honestly one of the best told love stories I’ve ever seen. It’s tender, intimate, slow and the chemistry between the two actors is shattering. Go watch it!
And I couldn’t help myself but to take some frames and drarry them.
