FIC: History Lessons (Harry/Draco)

[bottomdraco-mod.livejournal.com]

Title: History Lessons
Author: sapphoatsunset
Prompt: PROMPT # 7
Adapted from: How I Met Your Mother
Pairing: Harry/Draco, Harry/Pansy, Harry/OFC, Ron/Hermione,
Word Count: 5008
Rating: PG-13
Contains (Highlight to view): *Pranks, jokes, bets, not necessarily canon, tomfoolery, slash, Harry in relationships with others, history twisted in tangents, angst, humor, attempted Brit-isms, Americanisms (I’m hoping most of these have been spotted and stripped out), EWE, & semi-literal at parts which is hopefully okay*
Disclaimer: Harry Potter characters are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No profit is being made, and no copyright infringement is intended.
Notes: Oh sweet Jesus, I hope this is okay! It was too tempting to resist, but I must warn that I have only written Harry Potter once or twice before. So, forgive me? Luckily, I had an awesome beta to keep me on track! Thank you K! ♥ Also, please note that I am taking creative license and ignoring the epilogue and anything to do with it. (Though, spoiler: Sev is dead.)

It should be stated that this thing took on a mind of its own. I cannot be blamed for the tangents when certain characters hijacked the plot right from under my fingers. Or maybe that was the keyboard and my brain. Either way, I did not anticipate all of this when I set out to write this fic, but I wouldn’t change a thing. ^_^

Finally, thank you to dracogotgame for the awesome prompt that got me off my ass to write fic again, especially since it’s not the fandom I typically write despite reading it voraciously. You are obviously made of pure win~!

Inspired by episodes: 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, & 17 (Season 1)

Summary: Sometimes love is a flash in the pan. Other times, it’s a saga. This could be a little of both.

Very cute! Pansy was quite fun, and I loved the sons being impatient with Harry's storytelling. :)

XDD I'm glad you enjoyed it, especially Pansy. Pansy was a blast to insert into the equation :D

That was really cute. I loved how you hit all the characters so nicely. Draco as Barney was absolutely priceless!

To be honest, I don't follow "How I Met Your Mother" but you make me want to! I thought this was sooooo much fun! I love the interaction between Harry and Draco - they make me giggle and coo and feel all warm and fluffy after! I especially love the part where they finally got together - it was beyond cute! I adore their children too - their impatience as Harry tells his story cracks me up! Adorable, funny and full of fluff - this was brilliant!

Thank you for the entertaining read! It definitely made my day :)

[sapphoatsunset.livejournal.com]

And this comment completely made my day! ♥ You should definitely give How I Met Your Mother a watch as it's HILARIOUS~

I'm so very glad that you enjoyed this and the way they interacted together ♥ ILU, Apple~ <333

As a lover of both HIMYM and HP, I must say, DROOL! =D

There's often been times in the show where I've watched Barney and thought bits of his character would develop well into Draco. Especially since a lot of stories seem to take Draco from being the wild man-whore to finally settling down, it fits Barney to a T. To be honest, I wish there were more of your story here to further mirror the series, because that would be AMAZING, and of course, Legen - wait for it - dary! =D

I'm glad you enjoyed it :) I had fun writing it, but I also didn't want it to start dragging on... there's so much to HIMYM that could be captured for lovely fodder, and it was hard to pick and choose and get to a story that diverged enough from the HIMYM plot that Drarry could reign :P

Anyways, very very happy that you liked it! :)
