    Summary

    There are no words in the English language to describe what Draco has been through, nor is there anything worth talking about.

    Until that changes Draco is going to stay mute.

    Summary

    Potter doesn't leave. He slides off the mattress, and instead settles down beside his bed on the floor. He adjusts on his legs, his chin cushioned on his arm, and then begins to talk. His voice is quiet and rough with lingering slumber, the sound of soft kisses, of wild dancing and unbridled laughter filling his head.

    When Draco wakes up, once again, somewhere in the dark of the night and under the dim starlights of the constellations spell that he doesn't remember casting for a second time, there is nobody at the floor of his bedside.

    He wonders if he'd only dreamed it all.

    Sequel to 'Alucinatio'.

    Summary

    "It's... it's not good," Harry tells them lowly. "They've given him a month's time, only."

    There is so much he needs to explain, but his head is foggy and exhausted and he can't think properly, can't think of how to relay all that he's learned.

    "Have you heard of Alucinatio?" is what he starts with.

    "The Daydream potion," Hermione says. "The person who intakes it experiences very vivid and realistic daydreams of all they could ever want, but is essentially in a severely catatonic state out in the external world, incapable of any basic functions."

    Harry nods. "Somebody's given it to Malfoy." He remembers the tattered remains of a black cloak wrapped around Malfoy. "I think it might have been Professor Snape."

    They take a minute to process that.

    "And... the cure?" Ron asks.

    "Tears of anyone the experiencer craves love of," Hermione answers.

    Summary

    Lewis once told George about how his body nearly vibrated with emotion whenever Nico came near and how his heart always beat faster every time someone spoke of Nico's name. George also felt those things every time he saw Alex. Was it love? Did George fall in love with Alex?

    Summary

    It is stupid of Nico to even give Lewis the chance to notice.
    The hot water kettle is just a bit too heavy at breakfast one morning and Nico loses his grip. Lewis is next to him at the buffet table of the hotel and catches it out of reflex; Nico knows better than to think it’s kindness. He stares at where Nico’s fingers are still refusing to cooperate.
    "What happened to your hand?"
    "Nerves" - Nico answers with a shrug, glad for the double meaning in the English phrasing.
    It's up to Lewis how he wants to interpret it; Nico didn't lie.
