HC: Drarry #2

So I have this one trait that I think Draco has.

As the perfect heir of the Malfoy family, I imagine Draco can and will be able to completely hide his emotions from his face whenever he wants to. But, he can’t lie with his hands.

If he’s nervous or scared, his hands shakes.

If he’s angry, he puts his hand on top of the other as he sits or loosely curl his fists.

If he’s happy or excited, his hands will gesticulate as he speaks or one of his hands will reach to the hair just behind his ear.

If he’s sad or defeated, his hands will clench around his robes or trousers.

If he’s lying, he’ll straighten up the sleeves of his robes or the cuffs of his shirt.

And he won’t make it suspicious or even intrusive. He’ll look so casual that nobody really knows.

But -and this is my favourite part- Harry knows.

Mostly because all the staring and observing, but the other less known ones are after they’ve begun dating.

Idk, I just like the thought.

Muggleworld/Drarry

So I have this headcannon that after the Malfoy’s trial Draco was sentenced with a certain period of time without using magic. It’s in this time he realises that muggles aren’t disgusting or filthy, but in fact they’re funny and smart. He realises they have advanced technology and he becomes interested in the idea of owning his own car. So he passes his test and the next day decides to buy a car. Yet, it just so happens that after 10 years of hearing and seeing nothing from the wizarding world he was unaware that Harry Potter had vanished from this world and right into his. Harry had chosen to become a car salesman as he enjoys meeting new people without their only interest of him being the Boy Who Lived. So when he sees none other than Draco Malfoy walk through the shop doors he’s instantly rooted to the spot because this can’t be happening. How can someone be so bitter but look so sweet? When Draco’s eyes finally lock with Harry’s, his mouth hangs open. No amount of words could justify the mass of emotion that flooded him. Right in front of him was the saviour of the wizarding world, the saviour of a world he isn’t sure he wants to re-enter. The scar on Harry’s forehead felt like a surge of lightening to Draco’s chest, he had gone 10 years without hearing his name and suddenly Draco felt as if it was only yesterday he was spitting “Potter” out of his mouth. Yet, upon greeting each other all animosity and tension dissipated into the air and allowed the words “Harry” and “Draco” to be heard loud and clear. Draco not only left the shop with the keys to his new car, but he left with little butterflies in his stomach and the promise from Harry that he’s not going to wait another 10 years to see him. Of course Harry kept to this promise and after their fourth date Draco made his decision to stay in the muggle world because a world that doesn’t have Harry in is a world he doesn’t want to live in.

Okay, so, in my mind, the Malfoy boys weren’t taught how to express love, they were taught feelings were weaknesses, and Draco had to agree, because he was feeling things which prevented him from doing what he was asked, and he couldn’t talk about his feelings, because he had learned to bottle them up as much as possible, and keep everything to himself. And Harry expresses so much, even though he doesn’t realise it all the time.

In the beginning of their relationship, everybody who was “on Harry’s side” (as in who knew Harry and not Draco) only saw Harry being in love and thought Draco was just toying with Harry because he didn’t seem to reciprocate Harry’s feelings. It was Hermione who noticed the small things Draco did which showed his love, like how he spotted Harry first in the room, how he tensed when someone was close to either of them but relaxed when Harry was right next to him, how he always repared Harry’s glasses, always remembered where Harry had left this or that, small stuffs one wouldn’t notice if they weren’t paying close attention. And it was Hermione who then prevented Ron and the others to confront Malfoy, because yes, he loved Harry, he was just not good with expressing his feelings, and besides, Harry was happy, “leave Draco alone Ron, please, or it’ll be 4th year all over again”.

Except Draco cannot bring himself to say the words, and he sees how much everyone expresses their feelings, while he doesn’t, and he doesn’t get how Harry is fine with this. So he just feels terrible. And Harry gets worried, because he sees his boyfriend isn’t well, but he doesn’t get why. And Draco doesn’t explain, he can’t, he’s terrible at this.

After a while, Harry understands, thanks to Hermione, who had noticed the way Draco looked at other couples before looking down, and Ron because he was still pissed that Malfoy didn’t really show his love, and so Harry goes to his boyfriend how he doesn’t care, it’s okay if he can’t say how he feels, and it’s okay if they’re not acting like the other couples, because the only thing that matters is how much they love each other, and Draco cries because he can’t say it back, but Harry understood, and that makes him feel better.

Draco may not express his feelings with words, but he’s great with actions. So he plans their anniversaries, he makes sure Valentine’s day’s dates are great. And Harry tries too, yeah? They’re cute. But that’s not during one of these amazing date that Draco says it either, because he can show, and it’s easier.

One day, Draco is working on some files/paper/whatever at his desk, and he decides to take a break. So he goes downstairs, to the kitchen where Harry is. They’ve been together for quite a while now, they moved in together, and Harry had decided that maybe he’d like cooking if it was for someone he loved, so he asked Molly and it was now a usual thing for him to do, cooking. And Draco stands here, leaning against the frame of the door, watching Harry cook, and he suddenly blurts it out.

“I love you.”

And Harry freezes. Draco too, because he doesn’t know what to do. Harry is now tensed, back turned to him, and Draco is so scared, and all his insecurities come back. So he mumbles apologies, because all he can think is that he might’ve upset Harry, and he had been taught not to express his feelings, he lost control, that’s not what he does, wtf. And Harry turns to him slowly.

“You what?”

So Draco freezes again, but repeat it.

“I… love you…?”

And Harry’s face lit up, he has the biggest grin ever and his eyes seem ready to tear up, and he throws himself to Draco and holds him close, as close as he can, because he’s so proud, so happy, and definitely so in love. And Draco is confused at first, but melts, because what the hell, he just poured his heart out to this man, maybe loosing control isn’t so bad, maybe letting the mask down isn’t so bad, maybe he can forget his education here, right now. So he hugs Harry and starts crying, because that feels good, he’s him. And they both whisper small love declarations, how much they love each other, silly sappy nicknames for a while, just standing in the doorframe of the kitchen. Just the two of them.

Yes, the dinner was left a little too long and slightly burned, but it still tasted good, and none of them could hold the smiles. And from that day forward, nobody could ever doubt Draco Malfoy loved Harry Potter, because if Harry was here, Draco could put down the barriers a little.
