I came across a long meme titled "100 questions on an HP pairing" that lilithium translated some time ago, and I felt like doing it. So here it is:
1. Greetings! What's your name? ”hanson_phreek”, but you can call me Liz…
2. Please name the pairing you choose (A/B). Harry/Draco
3. What gets you interested towards the pair? What more could you want? Two hot boys, together. That’s all I need.
4. How long have you been shipping the ship? I’ve been with these guys since day one. They’re actually what got me into Harry Potter. Heh.
5. When did you first discover the pair? ”iwantasoda” introduced me to it. She wrote some of it and I read it. And fell in love.
6. How do you think they feel about each other? It started out as a hate thing, then evolved into more. There’s a think line between love and hate after all. In the end, they love each other, but find it hard for them to fit into the world together.
7. What did they talk to each other about when they first met? Mostly they mocked each other. They were always at each other’s throat.
8. Who fell in love first? I’m going to have to say Harry, simply because he’s always been more aware of that particular emotion.
9. When did they start to notice each other? In what situation? They noticed each other from day one. Draco knew who Harry was right away, and made himself known.
10. How did they confess their feelings towards each other? I’m guessing Harry made the first move, being a Gryffindor and all. He probably pounced (in a manly way of course) Draco and made him see how things really were.
11. How many days (or years) did it take for them to begin their relationship? It took a very long time. They met when they were 11, but didn’t end up together until at least 7 years later.
12. Their first kiss? How's it like? Sometime after the war, they come across each other somewhere unexpected. Harry pushed Draco against a wall and they snog.
13. How would you describe their relationship at present? At the end of the seventh book, we see that they both have families. This is what they had to do, not for themselves, but for the world. Soon, they will be back together again.
14. In Hogwarts, where do they usually hang out? You would generally find them stalking each other.
15. What do they do there? Watch the other. And snipe at each other.
16. What do they usually talk about? They usually made fun of each other and the other’s friends. Now though, most talk is of their families and how things will be once they are together.
17. What strategies have they used to keep the fire burning? Well, getting married actually helped. That whole “forbidden love” thing really work for them.
18. Please give us an example of how they express their affection towards each other. Little things. Like short notes and simple gifts.
19. If one of them were having an affair, what would the other person do? Punish them. They’d work through it together after that.
20. One of them got caught shagging somebody else. What was their excuse? “I thought it was you?”
21. Who gets jealous more often? Draco, definitely. He’s not used to sharing and he doesn’t like to do so.
22. And how about the other person? Would they try to explain? or would they pretend not to have noticed? Harry would think it’s cute. He’d see it as an expression of love and would love it.
23. How do they settle a fight? With sex usually. Or they get an outside opinion (generally Hermione’s)
24. Who gets angry more often? Draco. He has a temper. But Harry doesn’t mind.
25. What is usually the reason? He lets the little things get to him. He also has a tendency to overreact.
26. What do they think about the personality flaws of their partner? What do they want them to change? They love each other just the way they are. They wouldn’t change anything.
27. What do they like about each other the most? Harry loves how snarky Draco is. Draco loves how brave Harry is (and wishes he could be more like him, but he won’t admit that)
28. In what situation would they think they are hopelessly in love with each other? They already think that…
29. How do the others look at them as a couple? Everyone else thinks it can’t possibly work out. No one really believes that they love each other.
30. And how do they react to the public eyes? They’ve married and had children, to hide from the accusations. But they know that soon they will be back together again.
31. Any other characters support/criticize their relationship? The only people that seem to support them are Ron and Hermione, and that’s only to make Harry happy.
32. Where are their dating spots? They like to go to muggle pubs. That way they’re out of the wizarding world’s eyes. They’re safe from reporters there.
33. At the meeting place, who usually waits for whom? Draco is always there first. Harry’s always a couple minutes late.
34. Why is s/he always late? He has to dodge reporters.
35. Who (or what) else do they love as much as each other? They each love their families as much as each other. And they love their wives, but in a different way that they love each other.
36. If they had to choose one, what would they choose? They would choose their families if they had to. But they hope that when the time comes, they won’t have to choose.
37. What gifts did they get for the other person? Simple things, but they have lots of meaning behind them.

Draco wears it everyday, but hides it. He’s afraid someone will make fun of him for it.
38. What did they say when they hand out their gifts? Usually nothing. They let the gifts do the talking.

46. About their new living place; what kind of place will it be? They’d get a nice flat, until the time came for Draco to take over the Manor. Harry would be a bit uncomfortable about living in the Manor, but after they spend some time “christening” each room, he’d feel better about it.
47. Do they live all by themselves? Do they have pets? They would have various kids in and out. Harry wants a cat. Draco will make sure Harry gets what he wants.
48. Who cooks? Draco.

59. What would the other person react? They agreed it was for the best.
60. They found The Complete Recipes for Every Potions at the Hogwarts library. What would be the potion that they want the other person to take? Well first off, they wouldn’t need a book. Draco’s very good with potions. Secondly, nothing! They love things exactly how they are.
61. Suddenly no dating activity is allowed at Hogwarts. How do they react? They sneak around. It’s not like they aren’t used to doing things that way anyways.
62. A teacher saw them snogging. How did they react? And who was the teacher? It was McGonagall. She was surprised, but happy. She knew it was what they both really needed. Though she kept their secret. She thought that when they wanted everyone to know, they’d tell.
63. Who has the worse drinking habit? Harry. He drinks like a fish sometimes. But Draco is working on breaking him of this habit, for the sake of his liver.
64. What would they do to each other when they were drunk? If they’re both drunk, they shag. If it’s just Harry, Draco refuses to let Harry touch him. He doesn’t like Harry drinking so much, so he doesn’t reward him when he does.

70. Is there any word/phrases that are known only to the pair? If so, what would the word/phrase be? They have some inside jokes, that even I don’t get…
71. Which body part do they touch their partner most often? (e.g. hair, hand, arm...) Harry loves touching Draco’s hair. Draco once cut it almost all off, and Harry pouted for months until it grew back. Draco is particularly fond of Harry’s left shoulder, don’t ask me why.
72. Do they get along well? No? They didn’t get along at all for a very long time, but after the war they realized that they both had changed very much. Now they’re so close it’s almost sickening.
73. Who always wins the argument at the end? Draco. He’s always right. And even when he isn’t Harry lets him win.
74. Where do they go for relationship advice? Hermione, actually. She’s the only one who really approves of it. And she’s really insightful.

77. What do they say to each other after summer vacation, or after not seeing each other for a while? Generally something snarky.
78. They just witnessed someone else confess to their partner. How do they react? Confess what? Their love? Well, if Draco sees it he’s likely to get jealous. He’d most likely drag Harry of to some deserted corner and proceed to shag him senseless. If Harry sees someone confess their love to Draco, he’d likely chuckle and let it go. He’s not the jealous type. Though he might drag him away for a shag just for the fun of it…
79. Whether it is 'beyond friendship only' or mutual affection, please give your view towards their relationship. They were meant to be together. From the day they met it was destined to be. It’s only taken a very long time to get there. And they’re still waiting for the right time.
80. What will you be doing right now if you have never known about this pairing? I’d probably still be read/watching Pokemon and Digimon, sadly enough. Or I’d be stuck in LOTR and/or Rent.
81. When you read and reread the series, do the two of them always catch your attention? Yeah. I pay close attention to the two of them each time. I can’t help it.
82. How would you feel if either one of them became formally engaged with someone else? Um, they’re both married…
83. By the way, if that happens, who will s/he be engaged to? Harry married Ginny, his best friend’s sister (kind of seems like it was convenient) and Draco married some random girl that his parents probably pick for him (since he didn’t want to get married at first).
84. Do you think it is possible that they would eventually split up, or one of them would fall in love with someone else? They’ve already spilt up, but it’s only for the time being. And they both love their wives, just not in the same way as they love each other.

86. Two of them are sharing a bed for some reason. Who will fall asleep first? Draco falls asleep first every time. He’s very proficient at sleeping. Harry always has to struggle to get to sleep.

93. If they were separated forever, what would be the reason? Death at old age? or when they're young for some reason? Well, the are currently separated, but that’s only for the time being. After this interlude, the only thing that will pull them apart again is death.
94. Is their relationship unstable? Or steady? It has it’s rocky moments, but they always get through it.
95. Please tell us your favorite scene about the two. Probably their first kiss (as described above)

97. How would you promote your ship to those who does not know/like it? Show them some examples of how great they are together.

99. Until when do you think you will be devoted to this ship? Of course. H/D will always be my first love.
