FIC: Of Infinite Longings

Title: Of Infinite Longings
Author: [livejournal.com profile] lauren3210
Prompt: Draco has been hiding his love of literature because he can't be a cool Prince of Slytherin that way. Left with no expectation this year, Draco throw himself to the thing he loves.
Word Count: 6730
Rating: R
Contains: A lot of talk about books being the best thing ever; author’s shameless use of characters to explain why books are the best thing ever; books, basically.
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.
Epilogue compliant?: Noooooope.
Summary: Draco likes books. Harry doesn’t, but he thinks he might like Draco.
Author’s Notes: Dear prompter, my brain decided that you meant Muggle literature, I hope that’s okay. None of the quotes used are mine, I just borrowed them to help make my point about books being awesome. Title taken from the poem by Rainer Maria Rilke.

This was so sweet. I love seeing Draco through Harry's eyes. The only think hotter than bibliophile Draco is bibliophilephile Harry. What? Totally a word!

I love Draco being friends with Hermione, and their relationship in this was wonderful. It's one thing to find another nerd, but quite another to find a person who reveres books like Hermione does. She had better never tell Draco about ripping that page out about basilisk in second year! He was just adorable with his reaction to Ron folding a corner. Like a kicked puppy. Poor Ron, I could definitely see his side, too.
