Love in Liminal Spaces - A Dramione Comic

Summary:

The war is over, Draco is exonerated and everyone is back at Hogwarts for their 8th year of school. It doesn't take long for Hermione and Draco to resume the secret relationship that began in sixth year.

This comic starts in 8th year then jumps back to 6th year where we see the story of how they fell in love. Things might jump around a bit, so expect non-linear story telling—from 8th yr to 6th yr, to the war, to their post hogwarts careers. The moments you get, which slowly reveal their story, depend on what part of their story I’m inspired to draw next.❤️

(Previously titled Slice of Life)

Notes:

Hi, welcome to my ongoing Dramione comic! This is not chronological because I'm drawing little scenes as I feel like it. Sometimes we'll get moments from 8th year, sometimes we'll get snippets from the past or future. Sometimes we'll get a small sequence of comics that tell a story over a few chapters. But they're all set in the same universe, all part of the same story.

Currently I’m fixated on their 6th year story of how they fell in love ❤️

Chapter 1: 1998 - Halloween

Summary:

The night of the Halloween party for their 8th year of Hogwarts

Notes:

I couldn’t resist drawing Draco with skull face paint, because, well isn't it obvious? I also love the idea of Hermione going as Medusa, especially when they’re in a secret relationship 😂

And yes, Draco has charmed the snakes to bite any man other than him who gets close.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Draco: You don't think crowning yourself in literal fucking snakes is a bit obvious?

Hermione: Plausible deniability. Medusa is a classic Halloween costume. 

Hermione: ... so long as no one sees the initials tattooed on my arse.

Draco: Mine

Hermione: Yes, you Neanderthal. Now stop smiling, it's terrifying. 

 

 

They snuck away from the ball, but Theo caught them with his camera.

 

 

Draco: If you tell anyone I'll fucking kill you

Theo (note on the photograph): You'll thank me one day - Theo xx, Halloween 1998

 

 

The evening wears on and the secret after party turns a bit wild among the 7th and 8th years. Smoke and music fill the air, Someone has spiked the drinks with a euphoria elixir. Everyone is dancing, and Draco can’t keep his eyes off Hermione.


 

 

Ginny: I can't believe one of your snakes bit McLaggen's nose

 

Hermione: Stop looking at me like that

Draco: No


A wee bit high, a wee bit drunk, catastrophically in love.


Theo gleefully snapping pictures of these two with their guard down

 

Hermione: Rawr

Hermione: You're mine

Draco: I really am

Mwah

Theo (note on photograph): get a room (and let me watch) - Theo, Halloween 1998

 

 

After the party, Draco sneaks her into his room.

 

Draco: Let's get out of here

 

Draco: Lie down, baby. I'm hungry

Hermione: Draco—you'll smear the paint

Draco: good

 

Smeared face paint. Glistening mouth. Turns out this man is REALLY hungry.

 

 

Draco: One more, baby

 

 

What happens on Halloween stays on Halloween. Some mutual understanding between Ginny and Hermione.

Ginny: So. Saw you getting friendly with the ferret last night.

Hermione: Saw your hand up Parkinson's skirt last night.

Silence

Ginny: Some fucking party

Hermione: laughs

 

 

Notes:

This series was so fun to draw. I especially loved doing the party scene and trying to capture those hazy intoxicated vibes. Of course the one with the smeared make up is also a fav... and the snapshots when they're being playful together. Okay, I admit it, I loved drawing them all!
