Theres No Rule As To How Big Or How Small Youre Allowed To Dream. If You Just Want A Small Home And An

there’s no rule as to how big or how small you’re allowed to dream. if you just want a small home and an orange kitchen and four cats that’s just as reasonable of a goal to work for as a big new york penthouse. and if all you really want is a simplistic career that isn’t the center of your life then that’s just as valid as dreaming of becoming a famous fashion designer or ceo. i know everyone keeps urging you to dream big, but dreams can be as simple and small as you want. they’ll always be valid. you decide how you want to live and what kind of life you want, no one else.

❄ Fic ❄

Harry Potter and the Invasion of the Slytherins (T, 6.1k) by cavendishbutterfly for This_Time_I_Wont_Regret_My_Username / @blue-rose-smalls 

Harry just wanted to bake in peace. He didn’t ask for Pansy to invade his friend group with her sheer willpower and Slytherin co-conspirators. But before he knows it, the Slytherins have regular access to his Floo. And then Draco Malfoy starts hanging around while Harry whips up endless birthday cakes and baked concoctions.

Funny thing, Harry doesn’t actually mind Draco’s company. Not at all.

Ice-Kissed (G, 2.3k) by corvuscrowned / @corvuscrowned for Jewelmilk / @jewelmilk

Professors Potter and Malfoy have very different philosophies when it comes to their teaching styles. Draco, for one, is dedicated to giving his students the best Potions education in all of Europe.

Potter is … Well, Potter keeps taking his Defense classes outside to make snow angels.

Christmas traditions (G, 606) by a_reader_and_writer / @harrypotterfanfictionwriter for Prongslover77

Draco had many Christmas traditions over the years, but only one is his favorite.

In the Early Hours (M, 10.7k) by manixzen / @manixzen for alrespirar / @seekercass

It started with one night, which turned into months, which turned into years. And then, Harry realized he was in over his head.

Wizarding Expectations (NR, 7.1k) by reighchama for GuysAndGirlsAreHot

Welcome to the First ever interdepartmental Christmas Party between The Auror Department and the newly established Medi-Wizard Department

Featuring: Christmas decor, Secret Santa and under appreciated gifts.

Lights and Candy, Turning Prettily (T, 10.8k) by ebbet for corvuscrowned / @corvuscrowned

In which Draco Malfoy pretends to enjoy hot chocolate, Pansy Parkinson quotes the Grinch, Greg Goyle enjoys canapés, and Blaise Zabini says what everyone’s thinking.

Cinnamon, Chocolate, and Pine (T, 7.9k) by StarLeighNight for cavendishbutterfly

After staying at Hogwarts for the winter holiday, Harry just can’t decide how to spend his time. Luckily, he doesn’t need to think too hard - Draco Malfoy decides for him.

This Love is Still Ours (E, 10.5k) by alrespirar / @seekercass for reighchama

The distance helps with the bond. It’s not as strong as it used to be during eighth year. Distance makes it dormant, as the healers said many years ago. Ever so often when Draco comes back, it roars back to life whenever he’s near Harry. They mutually agree to stay away. Until they don’t.

Per my last letter (I hope you choke on it) (T, 10.2k) by fluxweed / @fluxweeed and lastontheboat / @lastontheboat for clareypotter / @clarey-potter

Dear Mr Potter, The answer is, and will remain, a no.

Sincerely, Draco Malfoy Accounts Manager, Phoenix Press

Or: the one where Harry has writer’s block and Malfoy isn’t helping.

Christmas in Garland (NR, 16.4k) by Prongslover77 for StarLeighNight

When driven healer Harry Potter doesn’t get the prestigious job he planned for, he unexpectedly finds himself moving to a remote town. He soon warms to the friendly town and its cast of characters, plus an unexpected familiar face, but suspects it’s hiding one big holiday secret.

My World is Filled with Cheer and You (T, 9.1k) by withgreatelan / @withgreatelan for a_reader_and_writer / @harrypotterfanfictionwriter

Draco needs to buy Teddy a Christmas present and has put it off to the last minute. He also has no plans for Christmas Eve. A whirlwind of Weasleys (plus Luna) will find him not only with the presents he needs, but also a place to go for the holiday celebration, and a chance to reconnect with Harry and potentially get something he’s been wishing for as well.

bambi (M, 32.6k) by This_Time_I_Wont_Regret_My_Username / @blue-rose-smalls for manixzen / @manixzen 

Hogwarts is putting on a fusion of muggle and wizarding plays over the Yule holidays, to get the students involved with members of different houses and give them something hands-on with their muggle studies. Draco, as a curse breaker on holiday due to an injury that won’t seem to heal, is asked to help prevent the kids from accidentally blowing something (or each other) up. And because it’s Christmas and he’s 100% a caretaker by nature, despite the things people say about him, he agrees immediately.

Draco didn’t know that Harry Potter would be there too, showing up after years of complete silence in the wizard world. Nor did Draco expect that seeing him would rekindle… whatever it was they had in their eighth year.

love that feels like christmas day (G, Digital Art) by Jewelmilk / @jewelmilk for ebbet

you’re a opossum living in the trash can of my heart ♡ | playlist and (truly, magnificently atrocious) poem by clareypotter / @clarey-potter for withgreatelan / @withgreatelan​

harry’s tipsy after ron and hermione’s engagement party, and he’s in a sappy, maudlin mood when he writes what he is well aware is the world’s worst love poetry. it’s not a disaster until ron’s excitable owl snatches the VERY PERSONAL AND EXTREMELY TOP SECRET poem and delivers it STRAIGHT TO MALFOY. shut up. it is NOT his fault. the little hearts written around malfoy’s name had NOTHING to do with it.
