Dandelion, Dandelion
Draco x Hufflepuff!Reader
When I was a little girl, my mama said to me
“What’s your favorite flower, darling? I’ll get you the seed”
I said “Dandelion, Dandelion, ” that one’s so pretty
She said, “Child, that one’s not a flower, that one’s just a weed”
Summary: Draco has always tormented you for anything and everything. One summer you cut your hair off and get a bit better at spells and Draco has no idea what to do with you now and you have no idea what to do with all this new attention.
A/N: Hello my darlings! This is a request from @darcypottah and now that it’s fleshed out a bit more, it will be a series, each part is going to be a school year (starting in the Goblet of Fire) or a summer between (the summer chapters will be shorter obviously) following the thread: A Hufflepuff!reader dating Draco and they get split up because Draco has to do something for Voldemort and doesn’t want the Hufflepuff!reader getting in the way. But eventually, they will get back together. Welcome to over 8,000 words because I have no self-control and this is the best thing ever not lying. It’s got everything and anything under the sun. Love you guys and as always let me know what you think!!
“Go ahead, run back to your friends,” He sneered. “I don’t see why they even let you into this school if you’re not going to do a spell,”
I hung my head, my long hair covering the hurt on my face as I rushed down the hall away from him.
Draco Malfoy. The most malicious kid in my year and a Slytherin no less. So, he thought it was acceptable for his taunts against me and my house. Not like I chose to be Hufflepuff. Not that I hated it either, I loved my house and my friends and everything we stood for… but why did it have to be me that he singled out?

My Type
(Hufflepuff!*)Reader X Draco
Fourth Year
There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes he would go away, too
Summary: (Original request form @darcypottah) The events of the summer between fourth and fifth year unfold and you find yourself at Malfoy Manor more than you expected.
A/n: Okay, so I might have said that these summer ones would be shorted, but that was before I started writing it… so yeah it’s like 10k words. But every one of them is so cute and ugh, I’m in love you guys. It’s got fluff, it’s got angst, it’s got magic, what more could you want? Let me know what you think!! Also see the end note for some thoughts from me and my posting schedule!! Love y’all so much
“Malfoy?” My mother asked. “You want to go to Malfoy Manor?” She was trying very hard not to yell at me and I could tell as I bit my lip and looked down.
“Draco invited me,” I argued weakly. “He… um.”
“He what? He’s tormented you for three years Y/n. And now you want to go to the lion’s den?” Her voice was raising as the invitation in her hand fluttered about with her spastic movements.
“It’s not like that mother,” I insisted. “He’s… you wouldn’t understand,” I shook my head, wrapping my arms around myself defensively. “No one understands.”

The Year of O.W.L.s
(Hufflepuff*)!Reader x Draco
Down there
I know there’s tons of burdens I must bear
But from up here
The world looks so small
And suddenly life seems so clear
Fourth Year The First Summer
Summary: The events of the first semester of your fifth year unfold at Hogwarts and more than your fair share of obstacles head your way.
A/n: Hello my darlings! So this is from September to December 21st, or the end of the first term at Hogwarts. Don’t dismay at the short time span: This part is over 13k words. I’ve been trying to finish this chapter in lue of what’s happening to offer some escape, so the last bit (thousand words or so) isn’t fine tuned, but I doubt you’ll notice. I love you all so much. Please stay safe and stay creative and always keep fighting. (P.S. some of the canon of the book is changed obviously)
Two people knew what I was doing in the beginning. Then four. Then those four and the rest of my teachers. Then the Head girl for Hufflepuff. The latter knew I would be silent for a month. It had started in the middle of July and would go to the middle of September. It was important that I didn’t say a word. There was something much greater at stake. Something that would take practice and a lot of patience. The latter didn’t know why.
The only one who didn’t know anything, the one that I was doing it for, was Draco. And those that did know, swore secrecy, so Draco would never know. Not unless I decided to tell him.

A Silent Night
Hufflepuff!Reader X Draco
Am I allowed to look at her like that? Could it be wrong When she’s just so nice to look at?
I’d never tell No, I’d never say a word And oh, it aches But it feels oddly good to hurt
Chapter One Chapter Two Chapter Three
Summary: Winter break promises soft moments in the snow and laughter… or does it? There’s a darkness looming ahead and it’s harder to escape now than ever before. It doesn’t help at all with how you two feel about another.
A/N: Alright! Y’all told me to follow my heart so here’s about 7k words of a winter holiday that has fluff and angst. Also She by Dodie was on repeat as I wrote this (the lyrics are above). If you’re like me and need music to read, give that song a shot. Also I 100% stan Narcissa in this chapter. There were a lot more cute moments I wanted to add, and rewrote a lot of this, so if you want a headcanon list of things that were going to happen let me know! (Welcome to Christmas in the middle of the summer)

Miss Y/n,
It delights me that you have invited us to your home for the holiday. Draco speaks adamantly about you whenever his father is not around. I must apologize for having him keep you from his father’s knowledge. I know it pains him to have to keep you hidden, but I fear at the moment it is for the best.
I must thank you for your understanding and kindness. The burden that he bears is steep and I wish nothing more to see him through it and to keep him safe. You have taken years off of his eyes and heart and now I can begin see my young son shining through.
Draco and I will accompany you for the holiday. Lucius will be away all of the winter holiday and I feel as if it would do Draco some good to see you as it aided him over the summer holiday. I have written a letter to your mother as well, so she is aware. Draco will arrive in the morning of the 24th and I shall join him later in the evening for dinner.
You are a bright and wonderful young wizard with a heart so pure to see what I see in my son. The same thing that keeps us both fighting for him. Thank you for everything you have given. I am in your debt for bringing back my son even for a little while.
Narcissa Malfoy

Hufflepuff!Reader x Draco
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life
Chapter One Chapter Two Chapter Three
Chapter Four
Summary: Is Umbridge the worst thing you have to face? Is there a silver lining or something much darker lurking underneath?
A/n: Y’all are going to love me, then hate me. I’m serious. You guys love my fluff writing, but for those who have been with me for a while know I’m the goddess of angst writing. But it’s also +15k words so… Also this gets slightly PG-13 but nothing too risque. So, there’s that. Let me know what you think! I love seeing all the messages/comments from you guys!
Draco quickly found you in the halls, your silvery cloak setting you apart from the masses of black. If his aunt Bellatrix was out from Azkaban, so were a lot of other Death Eaters and he had gone about frantic the past few days not knowing if you were alright.
Paranoia wouldn’t leave him alone. Someone had to know what you meant to him. Maybe his father found out. Maybe someone told from the school. Maybe his aunt had seen you that day on winter holiday. There were too many variables.
But you were there smiling beside your friends waving at him. He pulled you into a quick hug and quickly slung his arm around your shoulders, his eyes darting around the halls as if he were expecting a Death Eater to jump out and take you away.

Monster
Hufflepuff!Reader X Draco
Again is this what you came for?
You paid for?
To watch somebody burn and crumble and stumble
Then fumble all my words and let you twist them and listen
To all the ugly things you tell me I am
Chapter 1 Chapter 2
Chapter 3 Chapter 4
Chapter 5
Summary: Things go from bad to worse. Not all stories have happy endings, and it would be stupid to only read the ones that did. You and Draco learn that the only way to fight prevailing evil is unconditional love…. but can you two manage?
A/n: I’d like to formally apologize right now for how much this is going to hurt all of you because… oh boy. This gets really angsty and depressing and I’d like to remind you that Draco actually had to go through all of this alone. Sure, JKR does a lot of fucked up shit, but what she did to Draco Malfoy, I will never forgive her for. She lost my respect even before she said what she did on Twitter. But as I said before: watch me save Draco Malfoy. (P.S. If you haven’t listened to Special by Gabbie Hanna or watched the music video, I highly recommend it and then crying over it because Draco Malfoy man)
Draco paced his room, scattering his possession in his fury. His room shredded once more. What had he done? What had he said? What had just happened?
“You have some nerve showing up here,” He heard his mother hiss from downstairs.
For a moment, he thought it might be you, and false hope fluttered in his chest. Wiping away his tears, he slipped your locket into his pocket and stood. Snapping his fingers, his room started to put itself back together as it pained him to remember the first time you had done that spell for him.
Now you were gone.

Hufflepuff!Reader X Draco
I got people blamin’ me for shit they did to me
Lots of people shamin’ me for shit they didn’t see
So point the finger, pull the trigger, throw them off your trail
You’re diggin’ me my grave, but keep the shovel nearby
Dig your own right next to mine
I got people sayin’ take an eye for an eye
I just turn the other cheek cause you ain’t worth my time
‘Cause you see in black and white
But there’s more than just wrong and right
Chapter 1 Chapter 2
Chapter 3 Chapter 4
Chapter 5 Chapter 6
Summary: Lines start to blur between wrong and right as you and Draco try to make it through the first semester of sixth year alive. Can you both keep up the charade long enough to survive? Can laughter and smiles hide what’s lurking underneath?
A/n: Y’all know what’s up. I’m so excited for this chapter honestly because there is so much character growth in our power duo as well as side characters and ugh I would die for Pansy. Also, I haven’t quite decided what to do with Snape yet… I don’t really hate him, not that I particularly like him either. Anyway, let me know what you think! I love seeing all of your comments you have absolutely no idea!! Stay strong and always keep fighting: this chapter deals with some dark stuff. I hope that you all see how to find a ray of sunshine in the midst of hell by reading this. ((I also cleaned up my taglist and got rid of the ones that tumblr wasn’t letting me tag anymore, so if I accidentally deleted you, lmk and I’ll add you back!! And Tumblr still isn’t allowing me to add a lot of you and I’m sorry ://// It’s not that I don’t love you bc I’m trying here))
Prologue:
“Cissy, you must not do this, you can’t trust him —”
“The Dark Lord trusts him, doesn’t he?” Narcissa snapped back at her sister.
“The Dark Lord is … I believe … mistaken,” Bella panted, and her eyes gleamed momentarily under her hood as she looked around to check that they were indeed alone. “In any case, we were told not to speak of the plan to anyone. This is a betrayal of the Dark Lord’s —”
“Let go, Bella!” Narcissa snarled, and she drew a wand from beneath her cloak, holding it threateningly in her sister’s face. Bella merely laughed.
“Cissy, your own sister? You wouldn’t —”
“There is nothing I wouldn’t do anymore!” Narcissa breathed, a note of hysteria in her voice, and as she brought down the wand like a knife, there was another flash of light. Bella let go of her sister’s arm as though burned.
“Narcissa!”

I Will Rise
Hufflepuff!Reader X Draco
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I’m made of glass
Like I’m made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Chapter 1 Chapter 2
Chapter 3 Chapter 4
Chapter 5 Chapter 6
Chapter 7
Summary: With the next winter holiday things get to their lowest point. But rock bottom is always the place to start building up.
A/N: So this was supposed to be super angsty with no end in sight but ya know, I changed my mind. This is angsty don’t get me wrong, but this is also where choices are made and people are changed for the better or worse. Sidenote: I just ended a four year relationship yesterday and ya know. I’m great. Anyway. Love yall!! Let me know that you think as always!!
Draco and I stood at the Manor gates. Dark clouds rolled in, suffocating us. They threatened with snow, ice, and fury.
“It’s the Dark Magic,” Draco noted, his voice seemingly indifferent, taking my hand.
I nodded, sighing. Something was to be said about missing sunny days and warmth. Even in the dead of winter, this chill sat differently on our shoulders. Winter promised spring… this artic promised nothing but death.

It’s Not Me, It’s You
Hufflepuff!Reader X Draco
Let’s get the story straight
You left me broken
You tried to make me think
That the blame was all on me
With the pain you put me through
And now I know that it’s not me it’s you
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3
Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6
Chapter 7 Chapter 8
Summary: Healing was a slow process that takes vulnerability. You and Draco seemed more at peace though the world around you continued to burn. There was one flaw in your plan for healing and making it out peacefully and you’ve had enough.
A/n: Y’all. This is… oh my god this is fantastic. I broke my mould a little bit so this doesn’t finish out the school year, because well a lot happens and this is already over 10K words. And I’m so ready for you guys to read this because you guys have been begging for it and who am I to say no? I love you guys so much and I know you won’t hesitate to tell me what you think (also, I start my fall semester on Monday, so I’m not sure how it’ll affect my writing habits so just be patient
Draco felt a strange relief, stepping back onto Hogwarts grounds. The castle hid many secrets, and perhaps it could hide his as well. In fact, it already did keep some of his secrets, and yours.
With a soft kiss you parted from him, heading up to your dorm to get settled in again and no doubt find Abby. He hated to watch you go, but he supposed that it had to be done. In the Slytherin common room, a few of his friends were gathered around the announcement board. A new piece of parchment was pinned, reading:

The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe
Hufflepuff!Reader X Draco
The tricky thing is yesterday we were just children
But now we’ve stepped into a cruel world
Where everybody stands and keeps score
So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guard
Every lesson forms a new scar
They never thought you’d make it this far
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3
Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6
Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9
Summary: Planning for something in theory is easy… putting it into practice? That’s where the weak are separated from the strong.
A/n: Hello my lovelies! So here is the second part to the last chapter!! If I had posted it all at once it would have been over 20k words so… yeah. I split them up. Also, this gets pretty dark and well, we all know how HBP ends… so I guess that’s a warning. And to add, this went in a completely different direction than I planned, but now it’s closer to my original idea so… Let me know what you guys think! Seriously, I thrive on your approval. (Also, I’d like to see if someone notices a MAJOR problem for these two kids… because I barely caught it myself)
“Oh, my darling boy,” Narcissa crooned, nearing Draco’s bedside. She took his hand though he was in a spell induced coma and could not hear her.
“I’m so sorry Narcissa,” I teared up. “I…”
“Snape explained it all my dear,” She consoled, reaching out for me. “You have nothing to apologize for,”

That Would Be Enough
Hufflepuff!Reader X Draco
Look at where you are
Look at where you started
The fact that you’re alive is a miracle
Just stay alive, that would be enough
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4
Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8
Chapter 9 Chapter 10
Summary: Dumbledore is dead and the pieces start to fall apart or in to place…
A/n: Okay guys, this is a great chapter because you get to look into the past and into the future and also you get to see the loose ends start to tie themselves… who’s ready for this to end soon? Not me, but at least I’m figuring out how I want to end it. Also, my postings will be a bit more sporadic because I’m in college and have a job and so writing, though still fun takes energy that I rarely possess…
I stood and Draco was beside me. I looked to him frantically, wondering what was next. What would be next for the two of us?
There was hardly a moment to think for ourselves because beside us, Snape apparated into the foyer, causing my to jump in panic, into Draco’s arms. The professor seemed to take the sight of the two of us in, and something soft and sad was in his eyes before he recovered.
“Are you to unharmed?” He asked curtly. We nodded mutely.
Then the thought ran through my mind, or perhaps I had finally allowed myself to think it.
The man in front of us was a murderer.

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4
Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8
Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11
Summary: A summer away from Draco has effects of it’s own. But now you go into a school year with Harry gone and Snape as headmaster and Death Eaters in the halls and people expecting you to lead. This semester should be fun…
A/n: So this has been a long time coming… and I tried to post it then I ended up deleting my masterlist and now were here… so that’s fun. Anyway, I love you guys so much and I can’t wait to release the final few chapters and maybe an epilogue… Have fun reading, happy new year, and let me know what you think!! also i just broke 3,000 followers and that’s so cool
A few things had to happen before the school year could start again. Firstly, Lupin and Tonks got married. It was a small affair at Andromeda’s home, with very few people. I doubt that I would have been invited if I had not been staying at the small cottage in the countryside.
“I wouldn’t have wanted any other Hufflepuff with me,” Tonks grinned, hugging me at the even smaller reception.
The next thing that happened was the brief moment that Harry and I crossed paths once more. There was some sort of scheme going on in the Order, that I had no wish to be a part of any longer. There was no side for someone like me.

Mad Woman
Hufflepuff!Reader X Draco
No one likes a mad woman
You made her like that
And you’ll poke that bear ‘til her claws come out
And you find something to wrap your noose around
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4
Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8
Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12
Summary: All good stories have a summary built in right before the final climax. All good authors can redeem any character. All good mothers sacrifice everything for the success of their daughters.
A/n: So… this has been a long time coming… BUT HEY IT’S HERE!! I’m so sorry for making you guys wait so long, but here we are. A new chapter, some more angst, some more heartbreak, some redeemed characters. But you guys tell me when you’re done what you think. (Also thank you for all of the support and patience along the way, it means the world to me)
“We… we need a Pensieve,” I breathed out, looking at the small vial that came with the letter my mother had sent.
“Are you sure about this?” Draco asked, a comforting hand on my shoulder. “I have to know…”
“Then we’ll go to Snape,” Draco nodded and stood.

You think I don’t see the doubt behind your eyes
I’m gonna build me an empire
And nobody will ever convince me to stop

Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12
The Chapter That Never Happened Chapter 13
Summary: The final battle is coming, and you know it, but there are a few things that need to happen and that you need to get in order before you’re ready to step into this battle with confidence and no regrets.
A/n: So… it’s been a while. How are you guys doing? How’s life? How’s school? A few notes for this chapter and the next final one, I’m nixing a few things from the book merely because they don’t work into my narrative, and I won’t address their change: the lack of Potterwatch, Ollivander isn’t at the Manor, and Ginny does go back to Hogwarts after Easter holiday, where this chapter stops. Let me know what you think as always. I get serotonin from your replies.
I stared blankly at the now clear water that had just held my mother’s memories over the past years. I could feel myself shutting down. There was too much to process and my mind didn’t want to have to even start. I didn’t know where to start.
I felt Draco’s hand try for mine, but I turned from him, scrutinizing the Pensieve.
“Leave us for a moment,” Snape rested a hand on Draco’s shoulder. Draco must have given him a look, but something passed between them and Snape and I were now alone.
“Whatever you have to say,” I began. “I…”

The Chapter That Never Happened Chapter 13
Chapter 14
Summary: The end has come and the Battle of Hogwarts is nigh.
A/n: I never thought I’d see the day, but here it is, the last and final chapter to my hufflepuff series. I can’t thank you all enough for reading along with me, enjoying it. This has been one heck of a project and quite some time into the making. And rest assured, there will be an epilogue. I love you all so much.
“Does she pose a threat Severus?” The Dark Lord asked him later, standing on an outcrop watching Hogwarts in the distance. The time would be soon that the school would be his and Harry Potter would be dead. “Should she be eliminated, or do you believe that she still has potential?”
“She is no threat to you my Lord,” Severus assured almost nonchalantly. “She is rather a key role it seems. She understands her place among your ranks, and doesn’t dare outstep that,”
“Yes,” Voldemort still didn’t seem completely convinced. “I just wonder why Bellatrix loathes her so,”
“Bellatrix is greener than a jade,” Severus scoffed. “Miss Y/n has earned her place and leads with a vigor, whereas Bellatrix only gives loyalty, Y/n knows how to gain it as well,”
