5070: Top Priority - Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, George Weasley

Dec 12, 2020 14:25

I’ve started adding romance and ship tags but said tags will only be added to the older entries at this point in time due to the fact this is helping me keep track of how far I’ve gotten through checking the tags on older entries. I’ve also cleaned up the tags so hopefully things are easier to find. Of course, there are thousands upon thousands of ship combinations so if it is more obscure it may not get its own tag. I found this because of the lists someone ended up making with stories.

Title: Top Priority
Perpetrator: JayGwen23
Sue-O-Meter: Bad (I debated between the Okay and Bad ratings, but the deciding factor is later on.)
Cover/Banner Art: None
Summary: “England is trying to stop the spread of an aggressive, new virus that is affecting both wizards and muggles. Everyone is being told to self isolate. House mates, Harry and Draco are stuck at home trying to brave it through the madness, while trying not no go mad themselves.”
Full Name: Harry, Draco and George
Species:
Hair: n/a
Eyes: n/a
Markings: n/a
Poessessions: n/a
Connection to Canon: How would the characters react to being in quarantine for Covid? Well, Draco is going nuts buying stuff up while George is debating creating infant products. He’s living with them for some reason. It’s then pretty much “plot, what plot” with the characters doing random quarantine stuff and throwing a party once everything was said and done with.
Origin: According to a part of the summary that I decided to include here instead, this was “Written for Lock Down Fest.” There’s the chance the minions might find something they like reading in this.
Special Abilities: This story left me wondering how everybody became friends along with Harry and Draco getting together. In regard to suspending disbelief in this matter, I found myself at the Okay level to the Bad level when I read the part where Pansy and Nott and went, nope. I mean, Pansy was willing to sacrifice Harry to save her own skin so I don’t think they would become friends.

Notes: I do want to say that despite giving this the bad rating because I found myself forced to suspend my disbelief regarding the “friend to all” thing going on along with Harry and Draco being together that this one was still enjoyable to read. It almost got the Okay rating, but then Pansy showing up occurred and I was like, nope. Not after what she did in the last book. Yeah, it was weird, but still as I said enjoyable, not to mention there a definite difference compared to the other two stories I found while searching out covid related stories which were also Draco/Harry.

Sample:

Harry heard the ancient front door of Grimmauld Place creak open and then slam closed. Draco was always overzealous with his wandless magic. Harry padded into the entry still barefoot and in his pajamas to see if he needed any help with the groceries. Draco had left earlier that morning saying he was going to stock up for the next few weeks of mandatory self isolation. This new virus was throwing the whole country into a panic, both wizarding and muggle. Harry stopped short, when he came around the corner and couldn’t see Draco behind the wall of toilet paper he was carrying.

“Er, Draco?” Harry asked, not really sure what to say and hoping it was in fact Draco behind the stack of white rolls, instead of a different psychotic wizard.

“Harry, you won’t believe the madhouse it was out there! I made it just in time, these were the last three packages of toilet paper in the entire grocery aisle. Not to mention how bare the meat department was getting. I might have gone slightly overboard, but I don’t want to have to go back.”

“You think?” Harry asked, unable to take his eyes off the toilet paper. “There are only three of us. What do we need that much toilet paper for?”

Draco stepped around his purchases, leaving them floating behind him, so that he could scowl at Harry properly. “You never know and you will be thanking me when your arse isn’t raw from having to scourgify it, because we ran out of toilet paper.”

“Sure, Malfoy.” Harry kept from rolling his eyes, but by the look Draco shot him, he didn’t think he was hiding the fact that he wanted to. “Do you want me to give you a hand with…” Harry waved at the floating bags and array of items. “Er, all this.”

“No, you can keep your ungrateful hands off my supplies.” He huffed and headed to the kitchen, his items bobbing and twitching behind him to match his indigent attitude.

Harry followed a few steps behind, trying not to laugh. Draco didn’t like being laughed at, unless he was purposely trying to make you laugh, then he expected you to laugh and loudly.

Harry sat on the stool and watched Draco magic the groceries into their respective homes in the cabinets. Soon joined by their third roommate. George came barreling into the kitchen waving a piece of parchment around in his hand. “It’s official. The ministry has mandated me to close down the shop until this pandemic has passed.”
