- Writes a fantastic Malfoy, if I do say so myself
- Early 30s
- Female

- Loves to collaborate on ideas
- Constantly seeks to create conflict, not solutions, in order to keep the story engaging
- Prefers Discord, but here in a forum or through private messages is fine too
- About you
-
- Writes a fantastic Hermione, Ginny, or original female character. I could be persuaded to write Drarry for the right person and the right ideas.
- Over 25
- Female (Sorry blokes, but a few too many of you have gotten weird, intense, or taken too much of an interest in me personally, so I now prefer writing with other female writers)
- Generally responds twice a week or more
- Enjoys and can create tension and conflict

I’m thoroughly open to creating an original idea with a partner, but since I don’t like to show up to a party empty-handed, I’ve come up with a few rough prompts. All are very flexible. Like the Draco/Ginny idea but want it to be about Hermione instead (or vice versa)? No problem. I do prefer aged-up characters, so either in college or full adults. I love AU and cliches and tropes, so if you’ve been craving a not-so-original topic or even something that seems a little unhinged, please do let me know. I'd love to hear your ideas.
(Draco/Hermione)
With Hogwarts and the war now several years behind them, one might think Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy could let bygones be bygones. After all, they’ve both just entered their fourth year of university. Draco has completed his probation without any significant hiccups, making him irrefutably Reformed. And Hermione, without Harry and Ron by her side, continues to be... well, Hermione. The Golden Girl, for all intents and purposes, is as Golden as ever.
So when both are accepted into Professor Dominic Liddle’s prestigious and exclusive ‘Advanced Potion Mastery for Burgeoning Healers’ course (a three month stint in Venice over the summer which only six students per year are accepted into), it is time for Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger to prove, once and for all, that they are Proper Adults who do not bicker or hex each other or, Merlin forbid, do something daft like accidentally lock themselves in the supply room together after a very public row.
Possible ideas and tropes that could be thrown into this roleplay:
- Oh shit, we’re roommates
- I like her, but she likes someone else
- Slow burn
- Grudges over past misdeeds & guilt over involvement with the Death Eaters
- Lucius and Narcissa have some surprising feelings about Miss Granger
- Hermione creates a potion that reveals your soulmate, and just guess who hers is
- New-wave Death Eaters are causing trouble
(Draco/Ginny) (Could be adapted for Hermione or an OC)
Ginny Weasley has done something incredibly stupid. At least, she’s ninety-nine point nine percent sure she did. Because this morning, days before her wedding to Harry Potter, she woke up in an unfamiliar flat, in an unfamiliar bed, beside a not-entirely-unfamiliar man. That man? Draco Malfoy: fellow Auror at the Department of Investigations, complete arse, and yes, Handsome Bastard.
Draco Malfoy has unwittingly done something rather clever. Not surprising, really, given how clever he is. Because Ginny Weasley has no idea what happened last night, nor how she ended up in his bed, and he has no plans on enlightening her. Why? Because he’s fallen in love with the little chit, damn it all, and maybe now she’ll call off her wedding with Potter. He’s happy to let her believe she slept with him last night (even though she most assuredly didn’t), if it means she’ll rethink her commitment to The Boy Who Lived And Died And Lived Again. After all, once he’s through making her thoroughly miserable, he fully intends on making her happy. Far happier than Potter could, in any case. Draco just hopes her brothers don’t murder him before he gets to that.
Possible ideas/tropes for the roleplay:
- Slow burn
- Guilt and lies
- When Ginny’s old partner retires from being an Auror, she gets reassigned with Draco. Investigations abound.
- Is Harry really that great of a boyfriend?
(Draco/OC) Slightly AU
They share a dark past. He, as a branded Death Eater. She, as the daughter of Voldemort’s closest confidant and final lover, Oleandra Devilwood. When Voldemort was defeated they were each barely twenty, yet deeply embroiled in Dark Magic, politics, and Voldemort’s plans for magical eugenics. But with Voldemort dead and Devilwood in hiding even from her own family, both Draco and Oleandra’s daughter find themselves without powerful allies. Knowing their only possible future lay in Azkaban, they disappear to different sides of the world and go into hiding.
It’s been eight years, and it turns out Draco Malfoy wasn’t as well hidden as he believed. When a familiar Auror apparates into the house he’s renting in Algeria, Draco thinks his life—at least as he knows it—is over. But Harry Potter has other plans in mind.
Oleandra Devilwood has reappeared and is terrorizing Britain. She is being called ‘The Dark Lady’, and a group of Neo Death Eaters has appeared to support her. What the Department of Magical Investigations needs right now is a spy or two. And they’ve decided that Draco and Devilwood’s own daughter would make excellent double agents. Unbeknownst to either, the Ministry has been keeping an eye on them for years. In exchange for risking their lives to help bring down Voldemort’s successor, the Minister of Magic is willing to grant them both a full pardon.
But it won’t be easy, and the two will be forced to make damning decisions in order to protect the greater good. And Draco isn’t exactly happy to see this person from a past he’d rather forget. Worst of all, neither is sure they can trust the other. They’re already acting as double agents. What’s to stop either of them from turning coat one more time and revealing the other’s identity? Can Devilwood’s own daughter really turn against her?
If you are interested, please send me a private message and an example of your writing!
