Smashed Plates and Misread Dates

Granger and Goyle? Dating? It's enough to make Draco's blood boil. Perhaps it's time for him to give up on his stupid unrequited feelings and take his mother up on her offer of a nice pureblood girl after all.Challenged myself to write Hermione and Goyle, and this happened. Fluff, as per.***Draco whirled on him, crunching over the smashed plates on the ground, and pointed an aggressive finger at the photo accompanying the article that had made the front page of the Prophet that morning.“You cannot fake a photo like that. The way she’s looking at him.” He hissed, barely glancing at the photo that had ruined his day. His month. His entire life.“It might not be what it looks like. You should at least let them explain before you destroy any more china.” Blaise said. “But if it is what it looks like, then you’re going to have to try and be happy for them, mate.” He added, smiling sadly.

fanfic etiquette 101- you cannot buy or sell fanfiction, bound or otherwise - if you see copies listed on etsy/amazon/tiktok shop, report them! if you want to own a bound copy of a fic, learn to bind and source ethical typesets approved by the writers.- you cannot add fics to goodreads. these fics aren't written by professional authors, and cannot be judged as if they were. they are gifts, written for fun, and so exist in their own space, away from officially published media.- our community is being threatened by people trying to profit from fanfiction, and it has led to talented writers having to take their work down to try and prevent it from getting worse. do not contribute to the problem! this is why we can't have nice things! the original author of the harry potter series will 100% be first in line to prevent any fics at all being written based on her work if given a valid reason to do so - fics being listed online for sale is that valid reason.- if a fic has been taken down, don't harass the writer in their dms for a link to it. they don't know you, they have no reason to trust you. if it's gone, then it's gone. remember it with a fond smile.- this situation is desperately sad, and I sincerely hope it can be resolved, but in the meantime, I say it again, do not contribute to the problem.- another note, trans rights are human rights, always have been, always will be. fuck terfs 🤍
