The HUGE List of Memorable H/D Quotes
Yes, just what the subject says. This is it. 12 pages in MS word, size 10 font, and it will continue to grow, for this is an ongoing project. I love quotes; I love how authors can be witty or sad or dramatic or playful, so I made this. Not to mention I'm a sadistic list maker and I do have time to spare.
This is a list of Memorable Quotes from MOSTLY (maybe 99.9%) H/D fics. If anyone wants to add other quotes (PLEASE!), you have to keep these conditions in mind:
1. The quotes should have dialogue in it. Why, you ask? Because if I include quotes without dialogue, I'll go insane. Honestly. (Not that I didn't go insane when I made this list...) There are just too many memorable quotes without dialogue.
2. The dialogue should be between Harry and Draco. That means that you can include quotes from fics of non-H/D pairings ONLY IF the dialogue is said between Harry and Draco.
3. But! There is an exception to # 1! If the story is told in the second-person POV or first-person POV, I'll accept that. Thoughts are also acceptable, because they're like dialogue itself.
4. If your quote has more than one (1) line, I'll accept it... but I'd like to keep the multi-liners minimum.
5. Self-pimping is okay. I'm easy to please; if a quote is snarky or sarcastic or dramatic enough, chances are, I'll include it here.
The List is not arrange in any order. Recently added quotes will have **.
My Absolute favourite (pardon the exaggeration) quotes will have ♠ on it. Very Funny Quotes have ♣.
All right, I'll stop blabbering now. Here's the list.
♠ "And for as long as you breathe, I will be your oxygen; and when you are finished breathing, I will be the kiss that closes your eyes, just as it was your kiss that first opened mine, all those moments ago. All those moments that will keep me with you, and you with me. " —Aja, Every Second
"And I would go to Hell, cursing your name so loudly you would hear it every night in your heavenly dreams, Potter, before I will ever forget how much you loved me." —Aja, Every Second
♠ “Why do you make me feel,” he said softly, “That being hated by you would still be better than being loved by anyone else?” —Aja, Love Under Will
"My smile...?"
"So... so perfect. It makes me want to throw myself under a train." —Aja, Love Under Will
** "Poor, poor Draco," he murmured. "Love is, as they say, a harsh mistress, but I fear that in your case you will go from being love´s servant to being her whore." A pause, then, with undisguised contempt: "His whore." —Aja, Love Under Will
♠ ** "If you love Harry Potter, kill him... Kill him before your love dies, while it is still pure, unblemished passion--before it grows and begins to fester like a canker on the open wound of your heart. Kill him while you can, and know that yours was the purest and the truest of all the loves he knew--that he died before he could grow to despise your love. Kill him before he grows to desire another. Kill him and know that he loved only you, that he died with your name on his lips. Kill him as an act of mercy towards you both. Love him. But kill him.” —Aja, Love Under Will
** “If you want to believe I meant that, fine. Believe I meant it, believe I’m incontrovertibly jealous of you, believe I hate you. Maybe you wouldn’t be wrong, Harry, about any of it—” Harry flinched, and Draco’s voice softened—“but don’t believe for one second that I enjoy hurting you.” —Aja, Love Under Will
“What was that? Who taught you to kiss like a blowfish?” —Aja, Kissing Harry Potter
“Draco. Love of my life. Can’t we just get a puppy?” —Aja, Frankie
** “This is Mrs. Miggs,” said Draco grandly. “Mrs. Miggs is a schoolteacher. Mrs. Miggs, this is Harry Potter. Potter isn’t much of anything at all, but for some reason we all have high hopes.” —Aja, The Only Gay Eskimo
** "Do you know how hard it is to touch you, to move my hands over your back every week, week after week, and stop? When this is all over," said Potter darkly, "I won't. I'm going to feel you until I know every inch of you." —Aja, Seven Lines
♠ "I always thought I would follow you up to the gates of Hell if I had to. And that, once arriving there, I would beg the gatekeeper to take me instead of you. And if he must take you, I would ask to come with you. And if he would not let me come with you, I would wait for you on the shores of the river. I promised to watch over you and follow you always. I promised never to leave you. I never thought that death might prevent me. Not your death, but mine." —Cassandra Claire, Draco Veritas
"You just pulled that out of your arse, Severus, and you know it." —Cassandra Claire, A Season in Hell
"We're all thin," Harry says. "The amazing Siege of Hogwarts Weight-Loss Programme." —Cassandra Claire, A Season in Hell
"Ron, please stop reading spy novels. I beg you. For the good of humanity." —Cassandra Claire, After the Flood
♣ "How are you feeling, Draco?" Crabbe asked, pushing aside the crossword puzzle he'd been doing in ink.
"Heterosexual, thank you," Draco said quickly.
Goyle blinked. "What?"
"Exceptional," Draco said. "I'm feeling exceptional." —Cassandra Claire, Something Impossible
"Bloody hell," he muttered. "I wish I'd known I was going to have an epiphany, I would have dressed for it." —Cassandra Claire, Something Impossible
♣ "I thought you liked me. Here I am, offering you my Adonis-like body, and you reject me. Your behavior is inexplicable." —Cassandra Claire, Something Impossible
♠ “A Gryffindor will jump off a cliff," Penelope said. Her tone suggested that it was a well-worn proverb. "A Slytherin will push someone else off. A Hufflepuff will call in five hundred other Hufflepuffs, and they'll carve a stairway. And a Ravenclaw -- " She winked at Madeleine Aerie, who joined in with her: "A Ravenclaw will get hold of a flying carpet." —Resonant, Transfigurations
** "You mean all this time you've been thinking I was straight? My goodness, which stereotype did I miss?" —Resonant, Transfigurations
♠ "You are my enemy," Draco said quietly, "you are part of what defines me. What am I if the enmity dies?" —Beren, Angels and Demons
"Mating frenzy," Malfoy said the moment he set eyes on Poppy, "need suppressant, now." —Beren, Angels and Demons
"You came prepared," Harry said with what he suspected was rather a manic smile.
"Of course I did," Malfoy replied, curling his hands into the bed sheets as he spoke, "I'm a Slytherin." —Beren, Corruption Sequence
♠ "You act like an idiot or worse, and I try to be strong but I fail like I constantly do, and I'm weak and ridiculous but there it is. You don't even need to—I don't even want you to let me try." Draco was looking steadily at the stone, his voice brittle with anger as he went on: "The embarrassing truth of the matter is that I don't... do well without you." —Maya, Underwater Light
♣ "Doom," Draco intoned in the background. "Anguish. Despair. Oh, my hair. I hate you, Harry Potter." —Maya, Underwater Light
"Hmm. This goes in the Just About Bearable Pile, this goes in the Toss Them Out Pile, and this goes in the Burn Them, For I Cannot Live In a World Where They Exist Pile." —Maya, Underwater Light
♣ "You hit me," Draco said in outrage. "With your wand. I'm in an abusive friendship. I don't call randomly attacking people with your wand very heroic. Call that heroic? I don't." —Maya, Underwater Light
"I hate you, Potter," Draco informed him. "Have I made that clear recently? I just really don't like you at all. You are so one to talk. One day I'm going to lose it, seize your head and brush your hair properly." —Maya, Underwater Light
♣ Your shirt's a mess," Harry said, letting go and touching the corner of the shirt shoulder. "What did you do, wrestle with it? Crumple it in your hands until it begged for mercy and let you put it on?"
Draco looked lofty. "It was giving me cheek. So perish all the enemies of the house of Malfoy." —Maya, Underwater Light
"Right," Ron resumed. "Where was I?"
"Telling me how Slytherins were crazed, vicious monsters," replied Harry. "But then you got sidetracked by the werewolf." —Maya, Underwater Light
"I'm, er, just an ordinary boy, like every other boy. Sorry, who did you say you wanted that autograph made out to? Okay, great. You know who're nasty? Prejudiced people! I think they should all be ostracised and then possibly killed, because, we are better than they are. Look! There's evil! Should I alert the proper authorities? No, for I am Harry Potter, and it is my sacred duty to vanquish it! I am the bane of the powers of darkness!" —Maya, Underwater Light
♠ ** “Shut up. Go back to bed,” he muttered. “I thought you were mad about me. Where’s the adulation? Where’s the worship? I thought I was going to be your alabaster idol-” —Maya, Underwater Light
** Hermione took a deep breath. “Nothing,” she answered. “I didn’t like it myself – well, I’m still not sure I like it, but Harry’s serious about it, and it’s not as bad as I thought. They have a strange way of getting on that does seem to be working and at least now I’m sure that-”
“Hermione, if you’re trying to tell me that Harry’s having a personal moment in there, you only had to say.”
The corridor outside the infirmary was not large enough to contain all of Hermione’s surprise. Ron looked ever so slightly smug. —Maya, Underwater Light
** “It’s – God, it’s bad, but it wasn’t your fault. I trusted someone too much as well, but I’m not going to stop trusting everyone. I can’t – you idiot, d’you think you’re the only one who’s bad at saying things? I was raised in a cupboard, I couldn’t – I don’t want anyone normal.” —Maya, Underwater Light
** “Harry!” Draco said, sounding irritated and ordinary. “Why on earth are you shouting, the Death Eaters might - oh.”
Harry turned away from Voldemort and saw Draco, going ashen as he took in the situation.
“On the other hand,” Draco said carefully, “I can see you’re busy. Perhaps I’ll just go away.” —Maya, Underwater Light
** “I,” Draco said. “I, there’s something I should – I like the stupid way you dress. I even like the way your hair is always horrible. Harry, I’m a very sick man.” —Maya, Underwater Light
(Maya is probably the most quoted author in this list. One of the reasons why I love UL is because I got so many quotes.)
♠ “From the purity of the Gryffindors, the idiocy of the Hufflepuffs and the general know-it-all attitude of the Ravenclaws, good Lord deliver us.” —Maya, Draco Malfoy, The Amazing Bouncing… Rat? (I had to add this because I absolutely love it!)
** “I think about you – oh, all the time. You’re mine, you have to be, I absolutely have to keep you...” —Maya, Homebound
♠ ** “Hmmm – I didn’t stop eating because all I wanted was this,” Harry could still hear his own voice, faint, far away and far less important than the sensations. “I didn’t try to build up little pictures of you from everything I saw and I didn’t try to scrub you out in the shower as if you were a disease because I couldn’t bear it anymore – oh, I can’t bear it anymore – I was never willing to make any bargain to - God! – have you again.” —Maya, Homebound
“You? Straight?” he said. “Ha!” —Maya, Dancing Queen
“Hello?” he said. “Excuse me? Where’s the sex?” —Maya, Chained
♣ “And you thought it would be an appropriate and helpful action to engineer me being bound to my bed and sexually assaulted.”
Pansy shrugged unrepentantly. “What can I tell you? I sail the SS Guns and Handcuffs.” —Maya, Chained
“I do not find you amusing. I am about to perish. Have you no decency, Potter? A fallen and imprisoned enemy, bound to his bed of pain. And here you are to mock me. Shame on you.” —Maya, Dark Side of Light
“I have been told that my voice is like sex poured onto hot waffles, though.” —Maya, Dark Side of Light
“Kill myself? No, but I’m not sure that mouldy green is a good enough reason for me to live. Honestly, Potter, your dress sense is a weapon in the hands of the Dementors.” —Maya, Dark Side of Light
“Why do you get a Patil twin, and all I get is you?”
“Clearly she was drawn to me by my boyish good looks. Seems she wasn’t drawn here.”
“I’m sorry, I was so busy howling with derisive laughter after ‘boyish good looks’ that I couldn’t hear the rest of what you were saying.” —Maya, Dark Side of Light
“Oh, but you do blame me. And I blame you. And we can’t ever forgive each other, there isn’t any forgiveness, and look at you, Potter, snarling and red in the face and wanting to kill me so much you can taste it, do you feel alive now?” —Maya, Dark Side of Light
♠ “I am who I am and you are who you are. And it’s twisted, and wrong, and I still want you. As my one pure thing and as my whore. I want you. Do you understand now?” —Maya, Dark Side of Light
** ♠ "Tell me that you don't care for me, Draco." He bent to Draco's open mouth and sucked in his bottom lip in a surprisingly gentle gesture after the struggle of a moment before. "Hold me and kiss me right now, and then tell me your heart isn't breaking and your soul isn't screaming for mine, just the way mine does for you. Let me kiss you and tell me that you don't ever want to feel me do that again. If you can do that ... really do that so that I believe you, then I'll let you go and never bother you again. Because you won't be able to Draco. Because you want me. And I want you." —Frances Potter, Resolution
"This isn't just about sex, Harry -- whoever this person is, this chart shows love, pure and simple -- an attraction so powerful it could bring together people who are incompatible under normal circumstances." He looked up and grinned. "Maybe there's hope for you and Malfoy after all.” —Frances Potter, Resolution
** ♠ "One day you will ask me what's more important, your life or mine? And I will say, my life, then you will walk away, never knowing that you are my life. —Unknown (from Frances Potter's Resolution)
♠ “The stars will sing of it,” was the reply, in a whisper. “We’re immortal, you and I.” —Cinnamon, Beautiful World
"Knowing me, I was going to fuck you till you forgot your own name and had to scream mine instead." —Cinnamon, Beneath You
“We were lovers before we ever knew it.” —Cinnamon, Beneath You
“Smashing idea, Harry, let’s have wild passionate sex in the snow, catch our deaths of a cold, and die of hypothermia. I think this whole proving fate wrong thing of yours is going a little far.” —Cinnamon, Beneath You
"Anything. Kiss me, shag me, hit me, hurt me, make me bleed..." he trailed off, smirking a little. —Cinnamon, Windfallen
♠ "Draco," he told her quietly, "Is the one person I would fight this war for, the one person in the world who sees me as I am and not a means to an end, a symbol of hope and faith and all that shit I stopped believing in years ago. A hero meant to lead us all to victory, to fight battles others are too afraid to fight. I would fight for him, die for him, but I know he'll follow me because he needs me and I will not lead him into anything I cannot win and I can't beat this. I am not meant to survive this war, we've both known that, you more than me. But I won't see him die as well." —Cinnamon, Windfallen
"Love is... fluffy bunnies and... lollipops. Maybe candy floss. And flowers. And sunrises. Sunlight. And..." he trailed off, sighing sleepily, nuzzling close again. "And chocolate kisses. All good things."
Draco smiled against his temple. "And this is?"
"Hatred and terror and insanity," Harry replied without thought. "Everything dark and scary. Good-bye kisses and bloodstained hands." —Cinnamon, Windfallen
"If it meant you would live? Yes. Because if I didn't and you died, I wouldn't want to live anyway. I don't think you get that, Draco. I wasn't living before you, I was barely existing and waiting for an easy way out. I... don't ever want to fall that low again. If you died, I would die with you, or right after you." —Cinnamon, Windfallen
"Oh god, Harry, I love you."
"You do?" he asked, very softly.
"More than anything."
"But why?"
"I was made for it," Draco said, only partially coherent. —Cinnamon, Windfallen
♠ "I am nothing as simple as the darkness to your light, Potter. Nor am I some pathetic penitent seeking redemption. Remember that, for the time when you truly wish to understand me. Until then, mind your own." —Ishuca, A Plague of Legends
"Before I leave, though, I want you to remember one last thing: I will not kiss you. Not now, not ever. At least, not until you kiss me. You might not want to now, but someday soon you won't be able to sleep for want of kissing me. And it will not be love or kindness keeping you awake at night. When that time comes, remember what I have just said.” —Ishuca, A Plague of Legends
"If you were my best mate, I would walk to the lake and beg the giant squid to drown me immediately." —Mahaliem, A Slytherin in Gryffindor’s Clothing
♣ "He wants you to shut up?" repeated Hermione. "I like him. Invite him in." —Mahaliem, A Slytherin in Gryffindor’s Clothing
♣ "Good, because if you wanted to shag me against the wall, I'm afraid I'd have to say 'No' because I'm not easy." Draco thought about it for a minute while eyeing Harry speculatively. "Actually, that's a lie. I am easy. You may commence with the shagging now." —Mahaliem, A Slytherin in Gryffindor’s Clothing
♣ "You sneaked into Dumbledore's shower? You are one sick puppy, Potter." —Mahaliem, A Slytherin in Gryffindor’s Clothing
“Seemed as if you were always trying to prove yourself worthy of being a hero's son. Now, it's like you don't give a fig. Like you've finally let yourself be who you truly are." Ron began to grin madly. "Too bad who you are is a git." —Mahaliem, A Slytherin in Gryffindor’s Clothing
"Is this the plan you were muttering about that involved staking Neville out on the Quidditch pitch with a sign saying "Eat me'?" —Mahaliem, A Slytherin in Gryffindor’s Clothing
"Didn't know there was that much tongue involved in learning Parseltongue," Ron said loudly. —Mahaliem, A Slytherin in Gryffindor’s Clothing
♣ “Me?!” cried Draco again. “You’re such a girl, Potter. I reek of testosterone.” —Sky Sorceress, Artful Façade
“Harry Potter, breaking and entering. What a new and delightful hobby you have there, Potter. Though perhaps you could have chosen a room that wasn’t enchanted against unexpected visitors. Rather shoddy planning on your part.” —Sara, BDSM: A Love Story (Password protected)
** "Malfoy, let me explain something to you. We're enemies. We hate each other. And there's an unwritten rule in the enemy code of conduct that states that you are not allowed to hex your enemies with lust spells! It just isn't done! Insult me! Berate me! Mock my parentage! But don't make me lust for you, that's just not fair!" —Sara, Take It and Like It
Ron made a face as he viciously stabbed the meat with his fork. Harry could've sworn it convulsed and died. "For the last time, I don't think Snape is naked under those robes. Although," Ron added, thoughtfully, "no one has ever checked. Well, and lived, that is." —Durendal, How Harry Potter Got His Groove Back
"Really, Harry," Ron said. "Malfoy? This isn't some kinky thing, is it? Does pain turn you on?" —Durendal, How Harry Potter Got His Groove Back
As Harry turned to leave, Snape muttered, "James was such a slut."
Harry stopped. "What?" he asked, not believing his ears.
A pause. "Ouch, my butt?" —Durendal, How Harry Potter Got His Groove Back
'Reasons For My Being to be Hurled Into Said Dimension: A) Potter's sick idea of a joke, because he obviously wants my boo-tay.' —Durendal, How Harry Potter Got His Groove Back
♣ "Our date consists of Muggle animal cruelty? Fake Harry Potter, I think I love you." —Durendal, How Harry Potter Got His Groove Back
"Hey. Call me Dean. I think after kissing me down to my tonsils, you're entitled." —Duinn Fionn, A Thousand Beautiful Things
"Oh my god, they call you Dragonboy? And they still have all their important bits attached?" —Duinn Fionn, A Thousand Beautiful Things
"The Boy-Who-Lived is shagging Draco Malfoy. And will continue to do so, by the way, if he's not so pissed off at me after I just outed him so dramatically to the Wizengamot." —Duinn Fionn, A Thousand Beautiful Things
"Quick, lass, he needs an antidote of heterosexuality before things go too far." —Duinn Fionn, A Thousand Beautiful Things
♠ "I am no fucking Redeemed Draco," he growled to Harry, mocking the headline before tossing the paper at him in disgust. "Can't they get it through their thick skulls that I wasn't evil in the first place? Why doesn't everyone give it a rest?" —Duinn Fionn, A Thousand Beautiful Things
** "That's not it at all. You see, I don't like women. I'm about as gay as a man can be. I've never even seen pussy, and unless one of my friends has a baby under some sort of dire circumstances and I have to deliver it, I doubt I ever will." —Emma Grant, Left My Heart
“Do you realize that you are just as insufferable as Potter himself? You are a stubborn, insubordinate, reckless, annoying little git. That I am forced to deal with the two of you at once is proof positive that I was some sort of genocidal maniac in a former life. Or perhaps a lawyer.” —Fearless Diva, Tissue of Silver
** "So, thanks, Potter," Malfoy said. "Even though you didn't know what I was thinking, it helped. And thanks for saving my life after I got poisoned, too. I don't think I thanked you for that. And thanks for killing the Dark Fuckwit. I really hated that tosser. And thanks for something else, too. I can't remember what it was now. You're not so bad, really, Potter. You just need some new shirts." —Fearless Diva, Tissue of Silver
"How do you torture someone with shoes?"
"Make them wear shoes that don't fit? Throw shoes at them? I don't know. I'm sure if there were a way to do it, Lucius Malfoy would have sussed it out." —Fearless Diva, Tissue of Silver
♠ "You're saying you're offended because his feet are attractive. Do you realize how gay that sounds?" —Fearless Diva, Tissue of Silver
“I did get a drool-provoking glimpse at him without his shirt, though. One must find one's delights where one may, particularly when one is trapped in one's large-but-still-confining estate. Rolling your eyes too hard can cause strain, Sev. You should be careful.” —Fearless Diva, Tissue of Silver
“You're the lion, in case you've forgotten. I'm just a snake."
Harry looked at him - skin sickly pale, flashing grey eyes underscored with purple exhaustion, hair still perfectly in place despite everything. So proud, so willing to bleed himself and deny that it hurt. Noble. In a perverse, irritating kind of way.
"I like snakes," Harry said. —Fearless Diva, Tissue of Silver
"Draco, you do realize that we're talking about a chair? An inanimate object? With no previous record of evil deeds?" —Fearless Diva, Tissue of Silver
"It was because of you, Harry, that I left tonight. But you knew that, didn't you? You knew I was drowning in the scent of you, in the green light of your eyes just the colour of the killing curse. So beautiful. I could barely sit through dinner without putting my hands on you, exactly like this. But I respected you. I respected our friendship." —Fearless Diva, Tissue of Silver
♣ "You have rather poor taste in fashion, and by poor fashion taste I mean excreble fashion taste, the kind that makes you sit up straight and say, "Heavens, were I wearing that, I would thank Providence for a swift and immediate lobotomy, so that I might forget my humiliation and start life over in a world where I could only wear neutral colours." —Lethe, Correspondence
♣ "I found your romance novels, Potter. That thud you heard was me rolling around on the floor laughing at you." —Lethe, Correspondence
"Your trunk still smells like you too. I am not sure if that is good or bad. At least it doesn't smell like Weasley, I abhor Eau de Poverty." —Lethe, Correspondence
“Never would have guessed you for a poet, especially such a pathetic one. Or such a smutty one. You used the word tongue sixteen times. I counted. Really, Malfoy, what would your mother think?” —Lethe, Correspondence
“I miss you. It stands to reason that the minute you aren't annoying anymore you also aren't here anymore.” —Lethe, Correspondence
“Is that what you wanted to hear, Potter? Are you satisfied knowing all my dirty, little secrets? Not only am I bent, but it’s you that flicks my wand. Is there anything else you’d like to know, like does my father beat me or my mother put me in dresses for tea?” —Saber, Draco Malfoy and the Tome of Entrapment
♠ "I'm not perfect, Granger, but I'm not who I used to be either. Trust me," he added with a wry grin, "if you ever lose part of yourself, you'll see the world differently too. I don't like asking for help. I never did. I never will. But my whole life was turned upside down, and Potter, in his infuriating, heroic way, shoehorned his way in and made it … better. " —Plumeria, Draco in Darkness
‘The black Mark on my arm faded to a mere shadow, and I was once again left with nothing. Nothing but Harry. In other words, I was left with everything.’ —Plumeria, Purpose
** "Oh, so you only listen when it suits you? You only give a shit when it suits you." Harry took another step backwards, almost tripping on the soft soil. "And the second you find yourself on shaky ground, it's back to square one. Oh world, kiss my virginal arse, for I am Draco Fucking Malfoy." —PhoenixSong, Eclipse
** "You arrogant bastard!"
"That's 'Arrogant-Bastard-Who-Lived' to you, ferret-boy."
"Bugger you... you... you pathetic little scar-head!"
"Scar-head? Is that the best you can do, ferret-boy? Maybe Voldemort would like a ferret to go with his pet rat. Do you remember how to bounce, Malfoy?" —PhoenixSong, Eclipse
** "I ought to hear that phrase more often. 'Draco, you win. Draco, you're right. Draco, your brilliance and sheer magnificence outshine the sun itself.'" —PhoenixSong, Eclipse
** ♠ "There's a difference between power and strength Malfoy, but I wouldn't expect you to understand." —PhoenixSong, Eclipse (Thanks to
mijan!)"Never look into the eyes of the enemy," he growled. "You might accidentally mistake him for a human being." —PhoenixSong, Eclipse
"You uproot me, then leave me hanging like one of Professor Sprout's bloody Mandrakes. Now I know why they scream so loud." —PhoenixSong, Eclipse
♠ "I caught you in the first place because I wanted revenge for something you did. I lost faith in everything I ever believed because of what you said. I completely changed my concept of power because of what I saw you do. I turned my back on everything I was because of who you are. And I faced my fears because you said I could." His gaze locked with Harry's, Draco gradually stopped shaking. His eyes were shining with sincerity. "Harry... there was always you." —PhoenixSong, Eclipse
“I had a reason when I was seven. I had an explanation when I was eight. I had an excuse when I was nine. I don't have shit any more." —PhoenixSong, Eclipse
"Pansy used to say it was proof that I was already bitter enough," Draco said.
"You mean she said something almost witty?" Harry asked in exaggerated disbelief.
"I know, I almost choked at the time." —IamtheLizardQueen, Welcome to the Real World
♠ 'It wasn't just about envy you know, it wasn't just about possession. It wasn't just desire. Only you were magic Harry, the rest were all cheap tricks.' —Penelope Z, The Seasons (Thanks to
deora_mystic!)♠ 'Sometimes I feared that one day, that raw wet mouth of yours would find the loose thread inside me, as it searched over my body. You would snap it with your teeth and without waking up I would break into pieces again.' —Penelope Z, Your Morpheus
'For days I walked around Hogwarts with my mind full of the exclamation marks of your laughter, with your scent trapped in the hollow of my palms.' —Penelope Z, Your Morpheus
'Funny, how our bodies met in a way our eyes never could. Mine were always closed, yours were always bent upwards in blind faith.' —Penelope Z, Your Morpheus
♠ “What do you think love is Potter? Watching the sunrise together, raindrops on roses, butterflies in your stomach? You need to get over all those romance novels you’ve been reading recently. It’s an old scar that doesn’t leave no matter how hard you rub the skin, it’s cold wind blowing from an open window making your hair rise and your skin prickle. I don’t want to hold your hand, I don’t want to be your friend, I don’t give a damn if you are happy. I want you.” —Penelope Z, The Untold Want
“I want you to be with me. I don’t want you to talk to anyone else. I don’t want you to touch anyone else. I don’t want you to dream of anyone else. Why should you, when I only dream of you?” —Penelope Z, The Untold Want
"Are you sure you're not on drugs, Malfoy? Because you're hyperventilating and your eyes are dilated, kind of like Hedwig when she had a bad case of diarrhea." —Rhysenn, Irresistible Poison
"Whenever he looks at you, he gets this intense, deep emotion in his eyes, and it's so... so exclusive. It's as if he stops noticing everything else, the moment he notices you. And sometimes he'd close his eyes tightly, as if it hurts him a lot to look at you like that— but then he'd just open his eyes again, and keep on gazing at you the same way." Hermione allowed an indulgent smile. "It's kind of romantic, actually — well of course, except for the fact that he's Malfoy." —Rhysenn, Irresistible Poison
♠ "It's sad, isn't it?" Draco said softly, although he didn't move away.
"What's sad?" Harry managed, the word escaping on an exhaled breath.
"I don't know," Draco gave a little shrug. "This. You and me. It just feels so..."
"Painful?" Harry asked, feeling the very shape of the word within him.
"Yes — but also..."
"Final?"
"In a way — and so very..."
"Perfect?" Harry whispered; the next thing he knew, he had closed the short distance that lay between them, and he was kissing Draco, and it was perfection. —Rhysenn, Irresistible Poison
"Knut for your thoughts?" Seamus said brightly. "I'll give a Sickle for additional sordid details, and Galleon if it's got anything to do with you, McGonagall and a bath tub, at the same place and time." —Rhysenn, Irresistible Poison
"I spend a lot of time here, watching the team practice, mapping out strategies and defences. Watching you fly during our Quidditch games, and sometimes wondering why you chose not to maneuver to the left, or right, whichever seemed the most obvious path to take." Ron paused, and took a deep breath; he looked directly at Harry. "But I never doubted that you knew what you were doing, Harry. Not once." —Rhysenn, Irresistible Poison
"Potter, don't be a child. Five-hundred points from Gryffindor for not wanting to fuck a Malfoy." —Ivy Blossom, Extracurricular
‘You don't like boys, you don't like girls, you love him. Everyone else is just superfluous.’ —Lady Vader, Friend Like Me
‘You wonder if the snitch has ever known the terror you now feel, as his hand seems to close about your heart, the seeming wings beating against his palm and you close your eyes.’ —Lady Vader, Friend Like Me
‘It often seems to you that wherever Harry treads, he owns. He flies the sky and makes it his, he walks the corridors of the school and the very walls resound with adoration of him. You might be annoyed by this if you didn't love each and every breath he takes, the way his eyes crinkle against the light to look at you, deliberately blinding himself under the sun just to see you.’ —Lady Vader, Friend Like Me
♠ ‘Could you just love him for tonight? The correct answer would be No, simply because you don't know how to love him for any shorter than forever.’ —Lady Vader, Friend Like Me
♠ He sat up in bed and started rocking back and forth, laying his head atop arms that now were decorated with four fresh lines of red. "I want him back. IwanthimbackIwanthimbackIwanthimback. Bring him back." —Marks, Oscillate Wildly
** "Did you think that I'd be disgusted seeing that? Maybe I fought my way into your head so you wouldn't see me picturing you on your knees, sucking me under that cloak of yours. I've thought about that so many times, even when I was supposed to be thinking of more important things -- thinking up ways to humiliate you, to hurt you, to fuck you." —Marks, A Single-Minded, Long-Term Fixation
** "Never a pleasure, Madam Potter." —Marks, Do The Sick No Harm
"But you see, there was this fabulous creature decorating my living room, sneering and drawling in this beautiful cultured voice that made me hard as a rock. It was either her or you." —Taratext, The Goodness of Their Hearts
"Wow, Malfoy. You've turned into a nag." —Taratext, The Goodness of Their Hearts
“Because there's a fine line between love and hate,” his breath hitches as Harry mirrors his caresses, “and I thought we might be able to blur it.” —Gracefulfool, Definitions
“That’s it, beg for me, come for me, spread yourself beneath me, you little whore. Hate you, love you, please don’t leave me, and you cry and murmur and writhe against my heated flesh. For you, dear Dragon, I’ll show no mercy.” —S_Star, Tame
“You see that boy there, the one with the messy hair and dorky glasses? He’s mine.” —S_Star, Marked
"I wanted to be your rival, you are only worthy of being my rival. In friendship one always follows the other, and that would never work for you and me. I’m your reflection. I’m your negative. I’m you, Harry Potter." —Tenshi, Negative Image
'I don’t know what is worse: to mourn for a love that is only the most ephemeral memory or to mourn for a love that is only too real but always out of reach.' —Pir8fancier, Lettered
'Light and dark. Give and take. You're frowning again. Think about it. The Gryffindor teaches the Slytherin about love, and the Slytherin teaches the Gryffindor about passion.' —Pir8fancier, Lettered
"You call THIS smug? THIS? This isn't smug, this is nausea!” —Amanuensis, The Worst Happiest Day of his Life
♠ “Because if you died, well. Who else would I manage to bicker and have unresolved sexual tension with?” —Abaddon, Scenes From a Warzone
“Granger’s dead, Harry,” Draco spat. “She’s been dead for three years. Weasley’s dead, Dumbledore’s dead, Lupin’s dead. The world needs a hero and he’s taken a leave of fucking absence.” —Abaddon, Arcadia
“You always were my best mirror,” was the sleepy reply. “Better than any glass.” —Abaddon, Gloria
“A second is all we have, Draco. I wanted to be sure of the time.” —Abaddon, Gloria
"I want him to win," he sneers, nodding at Potter, who just glowers at all and sundry like it's some kind of source of pride. "Not because I agree with you, or because I want to hold hands or because I've been misunderstood. Because they used my father and killed my mother and I don't want to end up like that. And the only choice I have is to wait and hope that the boy wonder here pulls his finger out and doesn't fuck up the job this time round!" —Abaddon, By These Truths; or, The Late and Lamentable Tragedy of Draco Malfoy
** "You were the first real wizard I ever met, you know. Hagrid was my friend, but you were the world. What I placed myself in opposition to. You were the beginning; we were the beginning, you and I. Doesn’t seem so odd now, that you’re here, at the end.” —Abaddon, Tomorrow Belongs to Me
** “Sleep is for tortoises!” —Abaddon, You're Gonna Love Tomorrow
** “You can always judge a man by the quality of his enemies.” —Abaddon, You're Gonna Love Tomorrow
♣ ** “What, is there going to be tentacle porn next?” —Abaddon, On Her Majesty's Wizarding Service
“Even angels fall, after all. In the end we’re all just the same.
Even you. Because everybody hurts.
The potential to suffer is intrinsic to life.
And you can’t make a miracle twice, can you?” —Miranda, Once Upon a Time There Were Heroes
“As in I felt all squadgy and happy. As in I thought what Potter had just said was endearing. And sweet. As in if little fluffy bunny rabbits had come hopping up the corridor, instead of trying to kill them I would have cooed "awww!" like a fucking seven-year-old future Hufflepuff.” —Ari Munami, Seamus is Seamus, and You are Yourself
“Fate makes fools of us all. And it's rather fun to watch.” —Ari Munami, Seamus is Seamus, and You are Yourself
“Argh! NO! I must remain a Malfoy! No violins! And certainly no bloody tweeting birds!” —Ari Munami, Seamus is Seamus, and You are Yourself
"With so much death, year after year, you'd think you'd start to get used to it." He swallows. "You don't." —November Snow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
♠ "It's a promise. Every sunrise is a promise of a new day, and a confirmation that tomorrow has come, and will come again... Sunset is a betrayal." —November Snow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
"I think he needs a holiday. Or a good shag." —November Snow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
♠ Softly, he says, “You disarm me.” —winter_baby, Listeners
♠ 'What to do, for instance, if you were supposed to kill your opponent, but kill was looking a lot like kiss, and after all they're only two letters off. What to do when you were brandishing wands like swords, but your shadows - so clear in the dungeon half-light - were holding hands, becoming one shape on the store floor, mirror images of each other.' —Natabug, Trumpet
"I rather thought I was an irresistible sex god, but I suppose being a hopeless, silly prat works too." —Amalin, Seaside Romancing
"Potter, I..." he struggles for words. A dictionary, my kingdom for a dictionary. The whole damn world to do this right. —Are, Berlin,In the Year of Our Lord
He broke off at the sight of Snape with eyes closed and taking deep, calming breaths. "My kingdom for a wire brush and a sharp implement to pierce my eardrums," he muttered. —Zionsstarfish, Not Yet Series (Linked to the last chapter)
♠ "The towels! The blankets! The sleeping arrangements! Look at me, you've made me use exclamation points to the point of indignity. I hate you." —Zionsstarfish, The One Where Harry Falls Through The Ice And Draco Has To Rescue Him!
** Draco exhales. "This is what I know. You'll leave. You'll travel the world looking for some intangible thing that will make you feel like a real person. Maybe it's a food you've never eaten, or a surface you've never touched, or a place you've never been. And maybe you'll find some brief satisfaction in these things. But you'll never find what's missing." —Zionsstarfish, Verge
♠ ** "At least cat food is cheap. I see your tastes haven’t changed one bit," he will say, and dump another can of generic cat food into Potter’s dish. —Zionsstarfish, Open Doors
“He's so yours it'd embarrass you if it didn't make you ache.” —Reena, Love for the Strong
"Because Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter together are nothing if not spectacular," Harry declares. "Heaven and earth, Remus, heaven and earth." —Sam Vimes, A Lifetime of Calamities Followed By Dangerous Illness (the Laws of Heaven and Earth Remix)
** "You’ve cut your name in my heart, and I don’t know how to make it disappear. I don’t even know anymore whether I want it to. How can I make you stay? I’d destroy the world for you. You are my North, my South, my East and West... I’m speaking fucking poetry to you. How have you done this to me? How have you made me fall –" —Ithilwen C. Malfoy, Darkshines
** “The concept is simple enough. Matter and anti-matter. Light and shadow. Hot and cold. Black and white. Each one cannot exist without the other; it's simple. Without its exact match on the other side of the scale, there's nothing to compare it to. I was your opposite, and now I can never exist. My contrast is gone, and now I am nothing. I am the dead.” —Mizzy, Understanding
** “I'm sorry. So sorry for doubting you be anything else but beautiful.” —Lafina, Thunderstorms
** "You’re the only one I’ve ever wanted to say that to. You know, ‘take me, I’m yours’…I am, you know. Yours." —Olivia Lupin, Sex in Thee Parts
** "I'd wait until you were no longer unarmed for our battle of wits, but then we'd be delayed for eternity." —Amy, What Separates Us
** "It's a dangerous combination, I suppose -- he has no morals and I have no fear." —Gatewaygirl, Snakes and Lions
♠ ** "I always admired your rather ragged panache, Headmaster, but Lucius would have grilled me over a slow fire if I ever dared suggest such a travesty of Malfoy acumen." —Arachne002, All Over?
** "I'm pretty skeptical of friends," Draco told him flatly. "They have this odd habit of not being there for you when you most need them." —Mad Martha, The Lodger (Thanks to
jimwise)** “What in the bloody stinking offal pits of hell are you doing, Malfoy?”
“Gracing you with my presence. How committed are you to that expression, Potter? You look like an imbecile.” —No_Me_Toques, Harlequin
** "I hate you, I love you, I want you, I need you." He was happy with how calm he sounded. "I hate you more than I love you, I love you more than I want you, I want you more than I need you but I need you more than I hate you. I know it doesn't make any sense, but that's how it is. Those four words go up and down and around and back. They're always changing their positions, one day love wins one day hate wins and so on and so forth. My life never made much sense when it came to the topic of 'You' and my emotions are even worse." —Carylic, On His Shoulder
** "What do you think is wrong? I think there are rules against spies and heroes kissing in showers." —Willysunny, Dream Verse
** "Who the fuck invited them anyway?" Draco snaps. "I thought this was a proper Slytherin do. Isn't there a sign on the door that says 'No Rubbish Allowed?'" —Zahra, Seven Minutes in the Garden of Wizarding Delights
** “I want a lot of things, Harry. What makes you think I want anything from you?” —Zahra, Splinters
** ...Harry knows Malfoy must’ve spent ages in the library trying to figure out how to translate and pronounce ‘I’m going to kill you.’ The thing, though, is that Parselmouth doesn’t follow literal translations and when Malfoy hissed “I’m going to thrill you” to him after Potions, Harry almost ran into the wall. —Zahra, That Old Malfoy Charm
** “If the holes bored into my skull are any indication, then I would say yes. Is there something in particular you were after today, or can this wait until Monday? I like to think of my weekends as Potter-free,” Draco remarked. —Zahra, Crush Trilogy: And Now For Something Completely Different
** “Oh yes, the idea of telling Harry Potter my tale of bloody patricide absolutely thrills me,” he sneered. —didntyoupotter, Snatch
** "Don't attempt nonchalance. It doesn't suit you. You haven't turned a page in half an hour, and you have been making the 'I want to ask you a question, but I am afraid you will mock me' face. It is distracting, and I wish to complete this assignment before graduation. So, ask. I will mock you. I will answer you. You will be embarrassed. And I can return to my work." —closet_bound, Preparation
♠ ** 'I always broke first. I let myself break. For Harry, I would break in a second.' —sioniann (story) saoni (art), Etchings
** "Good Lord, Potter. Have you always been this gay?" —Anise, Persuasion
** “Did you consciously decide to wear those boots with those trousers?” —lashajayne, Finer Than Spring
♠ ** "You will be my endless suicide," whispers Draco, and sleeps. —Furiosity, A Glass Fairytale
** Raising an eyebrow, Potter dropped the file he was reading. "Let me guess, we're in Hell and I should commence the search for an anorak straight away?" —Legomymalfoy, Mark of a Man
** Oh, fuckingshite. He really was going to kill Pansy. With sticks. "A... consummated... marriage. Can wizards even get married? Wait... sex magic?" —Legomymalfoy, Mark of a Man
** Draco whimpered and instinctively put his hands up over his chest. "You are not giving me tits, woman!" He eyed the bundle of white and pouted. —Legomymalfoy, Mark of a Man
** "Smugness doesn't suit you, Potter."
"Don't Potter me, Malfoy."
"Then don't make me want to Potter you, Potter." —Zarah, Momenti Diversi
** 'I own you. You own my heart, but I own your soul.' —Biichan, White As Snow, Red As Blood, Black as Ebony
** "Checkmated by Draco sodding Malfoy." —Mirabella, Trinity
