Summary: No matter how much Harry Potter wanted to believe he’d left danger behind when the war ended, it found him again anyway. All he had to do was step out his own front door on a Tuesday morning. A Drarry re-imagining of Howl’s Moving Castle.

This story is completely written, edited, and ready to roll out! New chapters post Tuesdays and Fridays.

Tags: EWE, post-war, romance, HP canon setting plus Fire Demons, getting together, secret identities, curses, dark magic, house-elves, magical house, potions, banter, humor, light angst, disability, threats of violence, happy ending, off-screen mistreatment of magical beings, Harry as Sophie Hatter, Draco as Howl Pendragon

Notes: This love letter to one of my favorite stories was long in the making. While it was easy to envision Harry and Draco as Sophie and Howl, it was something of a challenge to translate the plot into the HP-verse while keeping the romance and humor that make Howl’s Moving Castle so beloved. In the end, I took my favorite parts of the film and Diana Wynne Jones’ novel, cut them into little triangles, and sewed them back together again. I hope the finished product still has some magic in it.

Many thanks to @babooshkart and @onbeinganangel for their input while I was brainstorming back in 2021, the folks on Tumblr and the Drarry Discord who kept me motivated through the home stretch with their enthusiasm for this project, and (most of all!) @nv-md for being a stellar beta reader and all-around trusty cowgirl when I put out the call.

"What is wrong with you, Potter?"

Harry blinked in the doorway.

"Why, do come in..." he said as Draco shoved his way on through.

"Forty-six times! Forty-six fucking times I've repeated this day. And nothing I do convinces you to fucking kiss me!"

Harry blinked some more. When he was done blinking he said: "Well. Did you ask?"

Draco threw his head back and cast his hands to the heavens. "Of course, why didnt I think of that!? Potter, give us a snog, will you?"

Harry squinted. "Alright."

"What?"

"Oh good, you've stopped flapping about." Harry stepped right up into his space and latched a hand onto each bicep. "Shut your eyes then, Malfoy. Don't make it weird."
