I wrote some badfic so maybe I could get some reasonably good fic out of my system sometime this week. Meaning I lazily wrote the worst fic I could just so that the next time I sit down and write something, it's not this bad.
It's intentional badfic, given, but it's also really bad and only funny like 10% of the time. So feel free to skip. (Formerly fandom-filtered entry.)
Love is Where Your True Love is
harry potter, h/d, pg, BADFIC. songfic, too.
Disclaimer: Rowling owns the characters and I make no money with this!! :D
LOVE IS WHERE YOUR TRUE LOVE IS
It had been a while since Harry had felt it. The desperate need gripping his insides so powerfully he could hardly move because of it, it was that powerful.
Harry knew what it was. It was love.
Nothing but love could cause such amazing effects on his body. He had been alive for 21 years and yes, Harry Potter knew what love felt like.
What was surprising was that he felt it whenever faced with Draco Malfoy or just the mere thought of Malfoy. It was strange because surely he couldn't be ...in love with his enemy? Harry shook his head. No, that could not be it. It just couldn't! Draco had almost killed Dumbledore! He was on Snape's and Voldemort's side. They were all evil. Harry wasn't.
There was a contradiction there that stood out to Harry, made him feel emotionally painful since this was a very difficult situation. How could he manage it, come to terms with his difficult feelings and emotions? He had no idea. But he was Harry Potter and he had to! Because he was Harry Potter.
--
Draco was feeling weird, too. But what it was, he could not say.
Because Draco, unlike Harry, had never been faced with true love. He didn't know how it felt like. But Harry did because Cho had been his true love (A/N: I liked Cho so I think she was Harry's 1st true love!) and then she had died (A/N: sorry! I had to do this because otherwise Harry couldn't get together with Draco! Sorry Cho-fans!).
It had been a tragic day in Harry's life, to hear that his wonderful, beautiful, pretty, intelligent and mesmerizing oriental Asian fiancee had been killed in a magical accident. Truly devastating was this event that had rocked his world like a boulder (A/N: rock - boulder, get it?).
But now he was feeling something similar towards Draco Malfoy, his biggest enemy. How difficult were these feelings he was facing! But not as difficult as they were for Draco for Draco was an abused child. Tormented by painful memories from his child hood and school years, Draco was wounded to the core and perhaps because of this - unable to love.
Snape was behind Draco. He asked, “What is it my sweet prince?”
“Go away,” Draco sniffed. “I want to be alone.”
“But you can't! Voldemort wants to see you!” Snape said.
“I don't want to see him, I hate him,” Draco said and then shut up. 'What did I just say' he thought to himself, panicking. 'I insulted the Dark Lord! Naughty Draco, naughty!'
“What did you say?” Snape asked.
“Nothing.”
“You must be punished!” Snape yelled.
“Okay,” Draco spoke.
--
Harry woke up with a start. What was this awful pain gripping his chest? Why did he feel so - pained?
Ron yawned, sitting up. “What is it Harry?”
“Go back to bed, Ron.” Harry said.
“Was it a nightmare?” Ron asked.
“No Ron, it wasn't. It was real and now I must go and search for what it was.”
“Yeah, okay. Just do your thing and wake me up when you get back!” Ron said, going back to sleep.
Harry was not afraid that he would have to embark on this journey alone without his usual loyal companions. Maybe he was no longer the Harry Potter they had known. This was the new him and he had someone to save.
The holder of the key to his heart - Draco Malfoy, his lovely Slytherin prince.
--
Draco wobbled from fear and desperation, crying quietly as he cleaned his clothes from his blood.
Voldemort's punishments were very evil and cruel because he was always trying to make a point with his punishments. Usually the point was that he was cruel and evil. Draco had learned this point but he still didn't like it. He cried onto his wet clothes, cried until he fell asleep on the cold floor.
When he awoke, he realized he had seen a wonderful, wonderful dream. Then he realized what the dream was about! It was about - and this was really weird because Draco was a Death Eater! - love!
That must be it, Draco thought, that must be the sensation that has been gripping at my loins and my heart and my head, too for the past few weeks. That must be it! Love!
But eww, love to Death Eaters was a repulsive concept. Only Gryffindorks liked love.
DE's liked sex because with sex you could gain power! (A/N: I don't believe in this myself! But for the storys sake I guess it's true!)
Draco felt disgusted and excited at the same time.
Who was he in love with, though? Suddenly his blood-stained clothes were forgetten and years of sexual abuse and emotional neglect cast aside as a new wonderful period in Draco's life was about to be begin! Tomorrow's a new day! Fill your head with cloud castles and sunshine!
--
Days Harry wandered around England, searching for Draco. Days and days and days which eventually added up to months and weeks.
Then Harry found Draco! And oh, how beautiful Draco was, but so sad! And crying!
And bleeding as Draco had finally decided to stop internalizing his pain and frustrations and let them sink into his skin.
“Stop!” Harry yelled, “stop you beautiful boy!”
“Potter, what are you doing?!” Draco yelled from the bathroom floor.
“Stopping you destroying yourself!!”
(A/N: What is in caps are song lyrics!!)
CRAWLING IN MY SKIN
THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEAL
FEAR IS HOW I FALL
CONFUSING IS WHAT'S REAL
“But why Potter?” Draco cried. “I am a mess! No one can fix me!”
“Don't say that!” Harry said, tears now in his eyes too.
THERE'S SOMETHING INSIDE ME THAT PULLS ME BENEATH THE SURFACE
CONSUMING CONFUSING
THIS LACK OF SELF-CONTROL I FEAR IS NEVER ENDING
CONSUMING I CAN'T SEEM
Then Snape entered the room, gasping from horror.
“Harry!” He pulled out his wand (A/N: lol. Just kidding!) “DIE!!!!”
TO FIND MYSELF AGAIN
MY WALLS ARE CLOSING IN
Harry successfully blocked Snape's awful Death Magic and so he escaped with Draco whose arms were no longer bleeding. As they ran out of the Dark Lord's castle they ran into Hermione!
“Harry!” Hermione screamed. Then she hexed Draco because she thought Draco was evil. Draco fell onto the ground, crying desperately.
“Hermione, don't! He's good, he loves me!”
Draco looked at Harry. “How did you know?”
“Of course I knew,” Harry said, smiling down at his true love.
AGAINST MY WILL I STAND BESIDE MY REFLECTION
IT'S HAUNTING HOW I CAN'T SEEEM
Hermioe shook her head. “Oh I knew it! Harry I knew you'd find love!”
“Thanks Hermione,” Harry said, hugging Draco now.
“I'm dating Ron by the way” Hermione confessed.
“What?!”
“Oh Harry don't be upset!”
Harry laughed. “Okay I'm not. I knew it I guess. Run to him now so I can be alone with my Slytherin!”
“Okay!” Hermione squealed and ran.
Harry shook his head. “Heh, het.”
Draco looked at Harry. “Thank you, Harry, you helped me cure my superiority complex, my bad self-esteem and my attitude problem, and you helped me come out of the closet and cure my mental illnesses and eating disorders!”
“You had an eating disorder?” Harry asked, worried.
“Almost,” Draco sighed. “I didn't breakfast at all one morning!”
“Poor baby,” Harry said, pulling Draco closer. “I love you.”
“I love you too.”
- the end!!!-
