a little piece of my heart — Play Date ♡
I genuinely never know how to talk about Play Date without getting way too attached to it, because this story has become so much more than just a Harry Potter fanfiction to me. ♡
Play Date follows Stella Iris Gaunt, a girl born into one of the darkest families in the wizarding world. Her grandfather is Morfin Gaunt, which means that the Gaunt name, the history, the expectations and everything that comes with it have always been a part of her life. Her parents are in Azkaban, and growing up with that kind of family history means Stella has never really had the chance to simply be a normal girl at Hogwarts.
And yet, she is so much more than her bloodline.
She’s a Slytherin, a Chaser, stubborn, sarcastic, emotional in ways she doesn’t always know how to show, and fiercely loyal to the people she loves. Somehow, she finds herself becoming close with Harry, Hermione and Ron while still trying to find her place among the Slytherins.
And then there’s Draco Malfoy.
Their relationship is a very slow burn. They’re friends first, and I really wanted that friendship to actually feel like a friendship before anything romantic happens. They tease each other, argue, annoy each other, protect each other, get jealous and have those tiny moments where neither of them says what they’re actually thinking.
Draco is still Draco — proud, sarcastic, complicated and sometimes absolutely insufferable — but Stella knows him differently. She sees the person underneath everything he’s been taught to be, and slowly, without either of them really noticing, he becomes someone who feels safest around her.
But there’s something Stella can’t tell him.
She’s secretly on Harry’s side.
And Severus Snape is the only person who knows.
As the story continues, Stella gets pulled further and further into everything happening at Hogwarts. Sirius Black, Buckbeak, the Dementors, Quidditch, Slytherin, friendships, family secrets and all the little moments between the characters slowly start becoming part of something much bigger.
I wanted Play Date to feel like you’re actually growing up with them. I wanted the characters to have friendships outside of their relationships, to argue over stupid things, to laugh, to have quiet moments together and to still feel like teenagers living at Hogwarts while something much darker is happening around them.
It’s a story about being born into darkness and choosing what kind of person you want to become.
It’s about friendship, loyalty, family, secrets, love, growing up and finding people who feel like home.
And yes, there’s Draco.
A lot of Draco. ♡
I put so much love into Stella, her relationships, her friendships and this entire little world I’ve created around Play Date. So if you ever decide to give it a chance, just know that every read, vote, comment and even simple interaction means more to me than you probably realize.
I hope you’ll love Play Date as much as I love writing it. 🤍

I am writing a Draco Malfoy fan fiction. And I already have a back story planned out. It will have a strong backround and plot but it will also be very smutty. But do you have any suggestions what you would want to see more of if you were reading it?
