I need an AU where…

saintdracopotter:

  • Draco’s wand is broken and he’s sent to live in the Muggle world for his crimes as a Death Eater
  • years later, Harry is an auror sent to a Muggle city to investigate a series of crimes
  • Harry stays at a ritzy hotel where the staff is startlingly familiar- Goyle is a bellhop/porter, Zabini is a concierge, Parkinson is a waitress at the hotel restaurant
  • as unsettling as it is, it’s not as unsettling as the fact that someone is missing from this group- and that bothers Harry more than it should
  • finally Malfoy appears, as the pianist who plays piano in the restaurant at dinner
  • Harry thinks that Malfoy should not be so enrapturing as he plays, but he is
  • Now, living in a hotel for an extended period of time where a bunch of former Slytherins/ war criminals should be hell for a Gryffindor like Harry, but it’s surprisingly… not?
  • Parkinson is as funny as she is bitchy, Goyle is kind of sweet when you pay attention to him, Zabini is a source of endless free entertainment, and  Malfoy- Malfoy is really something special
  • He’s guarded, obviously has a lot of trust issues, but he’s not scared of Harry- he’ll talk to him, tell him about the piano pieces he plays (they’re mostly French songs from the mid-1900s, Harry learns), about the church he sometimes plays the organ for, about the music shop across town where he has another job- Harry realizes he wants to be friends with this new Draco Malfoy he’s getting to know
  • While Malfoy is happy to chat casually with Harry, he’s hesitant to start an actual friendship– he turns Harry down every time he asks him out to lunch, he refuses to speak about heavier topics (the war, his parents, etc)
  • Harry catches him off guard when one day he shows up at the music shop where Malfoy works during one of his shifts 
  • Harry insists it was truly coincidental, he was only at the shop to buy a book of blank sheet music to give to Malfoy so he could write his own music
  •  Malfoy is so touched that he gives in to Harry’s attempt at friendship, and within practically no time at all, they’re friends burgeoning on something more 
  • They become a couple (probably w/ some dramatic confessions, heated kisses, and encouragement from Parkinson)
  • When Harry’s case is closed, he has to go back to Wizarding London,, when he tells Draco, Draco breaks things off with him, saying Harry deserves someone who can be with him in his own world
  • Harry, devastated, goes back to the Ministry with an agenda- make sure Draco and his friends are allowed back into the Wizarding World
  • B/c he’s Harry fucking Potter and b/c of some Slytherin ambition which rubbed off on Harry, he succeeds
  • happy ending where Draco and Harry get back together, Draco opens his own music shop in Dragon Alley, and Harry wakes up in the mornings to his boyfriend playing piano in the living room
