“So, I know the two of you have been waiting for me to choose a best man,” Harry said. “Not really,” Hermione replied. “We know perfectly well it’s Ron.” “I will throw a fit if it’s not me,” Ron admitted. “Well, actually,” Harry started. (“Oh my god, he’s going to choose Neville. Hold me, Hermione,” Ron said.) “I was thinking…I want the both of you.” Ron grinned, then stopped, “Wait.”
“Me, too?” Hermione said with a tremble.
“It should be the people who mean the most to the groom.” Harry murmured. “There is no choosing between the two of you.” Harry hugged Hermione when she started to cry. “Also, I thought it’d be better to call you guys the ‘groom’s crew’? This men only thing sucks.” “That’s awful,” Ron grinned. “Malfoy’s okay with this?” Right on cue, the door burst open and Draco sauntered in, arms raised. He was followed by Pansy and Blaise. “Behold,” Draco sang. “My ‘groom’s bitches.’” “I hate weddings,” Blaise said.
THEE OAKWREN QUOTE OF ALL TIME

Ahhhh i'm so into your baker/mob boss au!!! can I get like their first meeting or something please and thank you
[Mob boss/Baker AU]
Harry’s craving something sweet. He always does, when he kills someone, and another mob boss had killed the last baker Harry had gotten his sweets from - and really, that had just been petty, Stefano had done nothing wrong, he didn’t even know what Harry did for work - which means now he’s gotta find a new baker or candy maker that’s open this late.
He could always go to a supermarket and get packed candy, but that’s never one tenth as good as it is freshly made, so Harry hates it. Plus, he likes to support local businesses. He’s not all bad.
He pulls up in front of a small, brightly lit store. It’s in the middle of London, where all the pubs and shops are; Harry does his best to stay away from crowded places like these, but the place opened a few days ago and is already a favorite between locals - including Hermione, who has already become friends with the owner - so Harry’s going to make himself at least check it out.
The front door says they’re open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and though it’s at least eleven, the place is entirely lit up and Harry can see a person inside, behind the counter. He pushes at the door, and a little bell ring as it opens.
He steps inside.
“Hello,” He says. The man at the counter - of whom Harry can only see the top of his hair - in a net - since he’s bent over three chocolate trays, working closely - seems too distracted to hear him. “I, uh. Is it open?”
He’s a mob boss, sure, but he’s not impolite. Service workers have it hard enough as it is, Harry doesn’t want to be one of those asshole costumers that demands service whenever and wherever just because he’s paying.
The man doesn’t even look up.
Harry steps closer, and it isn’t until he places his hand on the counter that the man looks up, startled. Harry’s breath stutters; he’s gorgeous, with white blonde hair and pale gray eyes. When he flushes and takes off the face mask he’s wearing, he has the most beautiful pink lips, with a lovely cupid’s bow that Harry wants to bite.
“Hi,” Harry says, smiling. As much as he wants to take this man home, he won’t. He needs his daily does of sugar, and he cannot get it if he sleeps with the candy maker and then never calls him again. If this man’s candy is even half as good as it’s supposed to be, Harry’s not willing to make the trade. “Can I order something?”
The man looks at his watch, the sign at the door, but then shrugs and nods, smiling brightly.
“I, uh.” Harry hesitates, scanning the delicious looking chocolates on the counter, licking his lips at the pictures of products on the wall. He wants to try everything. “What’s your specialty?”
The baker - Draco, his name tag says - doesn’t say anything, and Harry looks up with raised eyebrows. Draco frowns lightly at the evident question, and then smiles sheepishly and points to the sign on the wall.
It’s in bright pink with white letters, saying, ‘Hello. I’m deaf. Please look at me and speak clearly so I can read your lips.’
“Oh,” Harry says. “Oh. I’m sorry. I want whatever you recommend. All of it.”
Draco’s face brightens, evidently excited. He grabs a small bag and begins grabbing items from the counter and the display. From Hermione, Harry knows the shop always sells out, but she’d also told him that Draco bakes and makes chocolate at night to try new creations before putting them out for sale.
He watches Draco carefully pick the most beautiful chocolates of the one’s he’d made, at least six different kinds, and put them all in the paper bag he’s grabbed. Once he’s done, Draco grabs a small whiteboard sitting on the counter and writes something with blue marker. He shows it to Harry.
You have to tell me what you think, he says. They’re new.
“Alright,” Harry agrees, becoming more besotted by the second.
Draco hands him the bag, and Harry pays, and then he reaches inside and tries one of the chocolates.
It’s heavenly.
“This,” he says. “Is the best thing I’ve ever tasted.”
Draco’s smile is blinding.
*
Harry becomes something of an official taster for Draco after that; he always shows up late at night, and Draco always stays open for him. They sit together in one of the tables - that Harry is quickly beginning to think of as their table - and Harry tries the things Draco’s made that day, and they talk, Draco reading Harry’s lips and answering through the whiteboard.
Harry begins taking sign language immediately - from Hermione, because of course she knows sign language - and though it’s slow, and probably rough around the edges, Draco’s face brightens more than Harry’s ever seen when he signs ‘H-e-l-l-o D-r-a-c-o’ slowly.
It’s the first time Draco hugs him.
Harry decides then and there that this is the man he wants to spend the rest of his life with. He’ll make sure of it.

20 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO EVERYDAY 1. Wake up earlier. Not only does this improve productivity but it also gives you more time to make a good, hearty breakfast. 2. Make your bed. Let’s be real, being welcomed to a tidy bed after a long day at work/school (or a long day in general) is probably the best feeling anyone will ever experience. 3. If you want, spend a little more time on your appearance. Take some time choosing an outfit, applying make up or whatever. Do what helps you boost your confidence and self-esteem. 4. Stay hydrated, folks. Keep a bottle of water with you wherever you go. 5. Stretch everyday or start yoga (or do both, why not?) 6. Create a playlist consisting of songs that make you happy and listen to it. Listen to songs for the mood you want to be in, instead of the mood you are in. 7. Compliment at least one person per day. This could be an acquaintance, co-worker, class mate, stranger, whoever! 8. Use your manners. If someone holds the door for you, lets you go first etc, they did it voluntarily and didn’t have to do it, so a “thank you” wouldn’t hurt. 9. Eat your fruit and vegetables and always choose the healthy version over the junk food. 10. Have a good laugh. Catch up with friends, watch some ‘Parks and Recreation’, go see some stand-up comedy, reminisce about funny moments that have happened to you. You don’t need to be a doctor to know that humour has many benefits. 11. Be optimistic. Always look at the positives. There’s no point on focusing on the negatives because that isn’t going to help anyones mood at all. 12. Exercise. It doesn’t have to be anything to intense. A run around the block, a walk with your dog or even a ‘Just Dance’ session will do the job. 13.Bring a book/magazine or collect the daily newspaper with you. Spend you spare time reading. 14. Try and learn something new everyday. This can either be an interesting fact you saw online or a new skill someone taught you. 15. Help others when you are able to. Help your classmates with school work or offer to help you struggling neighbour lift those heavy objects. 16. Stop procrastinating. No matter how unmotivated you are to, push yourself and complete what you need to complete. Do what you gotta do. You know you’ll love yourself for doing it. 17. Drink some tea, because that stuff is goooooood (and also beneficial). 18.Make time to do things that help you relax, whether that’s painting, having baths, doing you nails or going for a run. 19. Don’t dwell on your mistakes, but instead grow and learn from them. 20. And lastly, be kind to yourself. If you love who you are, everyone else will
