Harry knew it would happen someday.

He'd tried for years to deny these desires. Unnatural, Uncle Vernon would have called them, perverted. But they refused to fade; in fact, as he caught himself ogling the broad shoulders of a new Auror recruit, he knew they were growing stronger. He suppressed them, for years squeezing them into that hollow space in his chest, but it didn't help. Gradually that space transformed into a vacuum, ravenous with want. Ginny knew, he could see it in her guarded looks and distrustful glares, but he had done nothing. He wouldn't. He couldn't.

But someday.

*****

Harry knew it would happen someday, but he never expected it to be the day he sent his boys off to Hogwarts. But then his rival stepped out of his past, and that vacuum roared to be filled.

When the train pulled away, Malfoy wandered over to exchange words with a young wizard. Harry's breath caught when the man followed Malfoy into the gent's.

The stranger was fastening his trousers by the time Harry dared follow, but Malfoy was still on his knees. His familiar sneer glistened with a pearly sheen he didn't bother wiping away.

"Coming, Potter?"

Someday.

Oh that's just wonderful. I love the hunger in the first. And just knowing that sometime, sometime soon it will be fulfilled. Guh. That's just perfect.

[lilithilien.insanejournal.com]

Thank you! Gods, your icon is perfect for this!

[kabal42.insanejournal.com]

Wow, that's great. The need feels so palpable in the first - I imagine the release will be amazing for him, filling up that void again.

[lilithilien.insanejournal.com]

Thank you! Yeah, it's bound to be good, with that much antici...





...pation.

[kabal42.insanejournal.com]

It makes me shiver :-)

[aldiara.insanejournal.com]

Yum, I love the imagery in this! A vacuum, ravenous with want - that's gorgeous. And Draco on his knees in the second... guh. Such sheer need and urgency. Lovely!

[lilithilien.insanejournal.com]

Thank you! I do so love the image of Draco on his knees, such a pretty, pretty thing. I'm so glad you liked it!

[aldiara.insanejournal.com]

Draco should be contractually obligated to be on his knees a minimum period of... a lot.

Oh yes, see that's the coda to the Epilogue...they just forgot to put this page in when they printed off the books.

My poor Harry, but I love this. The need is so palpable and I just feel so badly for him spending all those years denying who he is.

Gradually that space transformed into a vacuum, ravenous with want. I love this and the end with Malfoy on his knees. His familiar sneer glistened with a pearly sheen he didn't bother wiping away. So vivid and unapologetically Draco.

[lilithilien.insanejournal.com]

Ha! Yes, it totally is, it was supposed to be there but JKR and I were having some creative disagreements *coughrecedinghairlinecough* and I had to pull out of the project.

And of course he's unapologetic. When has a Malfoy ever done anything he needs to apologise for? Other than Narcissa's dress sense, of course.

I'm so glad that you liked it!

[sdk]

LOL! So really, you're the reason we have the riding on the broomstick scene, aren't you? Admit it! JKR was going to let Draco die, but you insisted that Harry save him...and then she insisted that Draco start losing his hair, and that was the dealbreaker, yes?

It all makes sense now!

BTW, thank you for letting me play in your little mini-verse here. It really doesn't do this drabble justice, but I couldn't get the idea out of my head.

[lilithilien.insanejournal.com]

Yup, she wanted Draco to die instead of Goyle. The woman's on crack, I swear!

I am indeed honoured that you'd want to play in the 'verse. You are welcome any time!!

[omarandjohnny.insanejournal.com]

Oh my. OH MY.

I adore the rhythm of this, the want almost sounded like a drumbeat...delicious.

[lilithilien.insanejournal.com]

Like war drums! ;) I'm so, so glad that you liked it!!

[heathen_outpost]

Oh! This was just what I needed, potent bite-sized LUST. Wonderful! :)

[lilithilien]

Thank you so much! I like that, "bite-sized lust". Now in handy Snack Sizes!
