It’s an HP kind of day

hackthis_archiveI’m feeling… industrious today. My muses take very kindly to me getting cranky apparently.
Resemblance
He looks just like his father – at least that’s Lucius’ first thought. Although perhaps ‘thought’ is the wrong word as the sensation is more of a jarring epiphany bordering on something resembling the Cruciatus… or what Lucius imagines the Cruciatus to feel like.
However, it could certainly be worse. Lucius is nothing if not pragmatic, and if Harry Potter didn’t have his mother’s eyes Lucius suspects there might be real trouble, as opposed to what ever is happening now.
He’ll have to have a talk with Draco this evening and ‘dissuade’ his thoughts in this direction. Like father like son.

A Demented Kiss
The first kiss was raw and hard, Draco never even saw him coming.
Draco always saw Potter coming.
The second kiss was a surprise, and Draco is never surprised.
He’s never been interested in redheads, but Weasley was certainly a lot more proficient than Draco had given him credit for.
Draco wasn’t adverse to doing it again.
The third kiss was from her, and by then Draco could see the pattern. He learned to avoid random hallways on the days the three of them fought.

The Boy on a Broom
Oliver was the first.
He tended to get far too overexcited in the heat of the game and his eyes would grow extraordinarily bright. The colouring would start in his cheeks, and before Harry knew it, Oliver’s whole face would be flushed. After a really vigorous practice, Oliver’d look as though he’d run a long distance, or had just had a shag.
Yes, Oliver was definitely Harry’s first crush.
Krum was the second, and Harry’s crush on him was hard and brutal, just like the Triwizard Tournament. Harry hadn’t planned on competing with both of his mates for one guy, but really he shouldn’t have been surprised. They always did everything together at any rate.
All things considered it could have been worse. It could always be worse, and it was always going to come back to ‘him’ anyway. Of course, it could have been a different ‘him’, but Harry’s very glad he didn’t fall for Cedric instead. Handsome Cedric with his white teeth and gallant manner as opposed to Krum with his hunched shoulders and his Wronksi Feint.
No, it’s good that Krum was second and Oliver first. It developed the pattern, and falling for Cedric would’ve ruined Harry forever, so instead Harry got lucky as he’s often want to do. Instead of scaring Harry off and making him afraid, Cedric’s death made him bold and even more daring, as though life wasn’t already short enough.
Harry didn’t have time to contemplate the whys, and there was never any ‘maybe’ about it.
Harry Potter didn’t ‘wake up’ gay one morning. It had nothing to do with a spell or a poisoned apple. An errant bludger didn’t scramble his gray matter, and he wasn’t tricked into admitting his feelings under the weight of words or wands or bubotuber pus. So, Harry’s third crush on Draco was really no surprise to him - he seemed to like boys who could handle their brooms at any rate.
