The abandon corridor on the 4th floor of the ministry was dimly lit, the only sound was the distant hum of the elevator and the frantic beat of Harry’s own heart. They were barely able to slip away, voices still echoing in the distance, when Draco shoved Harry against the cool stone wall. One hand braced against the wall to Harry’s left while the other pressed firmly over Harry’s mouth. A muffled, involuntary whimper escaped against Draco’s palm

“Quiet,” Draco hissed, voice hot against Harry’s cheek. Harry’s breath stuttered against Draco’s hand. Before he could even register it, Draco leaned in close. “Make one sound and we’re dead.”

From up close, Harry could see Draco’s eyes; Pale, icy silver starlight edged with something deeper. The eyes that were once cold and cutting, burned with something raw and intense. This wasn’t his Malfoy. The man who found him bleeding, and drenched behind the ruins of Diagon Alley now looked at him like a ghost. Because in this world Harry Potter was supposed to be dead. Voldemort had won and began his rein over the wizarding world.

Yet here he was. Alive and so full of fire and fight, breathing rapidly against Draco’s skin and so utterly present that Draco couldn’t look away.

I've wanted to bind this fic since I know that binding fics was a thing. Do I need to talk about this fic? You all know this fic, right? If you don't, GO READ THIS FIC. Formative Drarry. Beautiful child POV. Heartbreaking and delicious.

This is a bind of a typeset by @phoenixortheflame, featuring stunning art by @the-forbidden-forest. Hat-tip to Phoenix for the font, which I borrowed for the cover design.

This book is bound in Duo, which I picked up in Amsterdam last month even while thinking "how tf am I going to use this bright-ass yellow-orange colour". But I had this decorative paper with orange flowers, and I thought about paper onlay using it, and it all came together somehow! (This is probably the least two-colour Duo colourway I've seen, btw -- I guesss you might argue for a reddish cast when the book is tipped this way and that? But it doesn't do the full colour change I've seen on other Duo binds.)

Other details:

3 mm board case binding covered in Duo

silk double-core endbands on 1 mm and 2 mm round leather cores (I'm still working on that technique obvs)

rounded and backed

decorative end papers from the Paper Place? I think?

spine lined with kraft paper and decorative paper for more support/stiffness, which means there's not a lot of throw up on the spine, which is... nice? Different to other big binds I’ve done anyway

sanded head and tail because my ploughing technique is...not great for that yet

edges decorated with sprinkled acrylic ink that went slightly awry -- another thing I'm still working on

HTV decoration

Decorative paper onlay using a tangram-style design (paper is cut with Cricut for accuracy!)

A little peep at the inside but check out Phoenix's amazing bind for more.

Just a few important and gentle reminders:

🫶🏻 DO NOT WATCH THIS FUCKING SHOW 🫶🏻

If you claim you support human rights - not just trans rights but human rights in general - yet still plan to watch this show, unfollow me. You’re a fucking hypocrite and I don’t want you following me.

Do not watch it even if you’re hate watching it, it still contributes to streaming revenue and views!

The adults in this reboot of the franchise are FULLY accountable for choosing to do this show and accepting a pay cheque over supporting a minority group. Even if they claim they support trans rights, they’re cowards and don’t actually support them at all.

The kids do NOT deserve abuse or hate, whether it’s because you’re comparing them to Dan/Rupert/Emma or because you’re boycotting due to the author’s views. They are literal CHILDREN.

Which one’s your favorite Draco?

[Part 1] I have more to say about the Aladdin AU apparently 😅

If anyone can pull off a 'draw me like one of your french girls' moment, it's them ✨

"Yes," Harry grins. "I want to hear you say it."

"Fuck off." Draco turns and starts stalking away, spine stiff and shoulders somewhere up in the stratosphere at this point. "Move in with someone else. See if I fucking care! I never want to see you again!"

Harry calls out after him. "Well, I had something to ask you too, dickhead."

Draco whirls around. "What?"

Harry fishes in his pocket, then pegs the ring box at Draco's head.
