Art: Orchideous (Happy birthday Dicta!)

[anemonen]

Title: Orchideous
Rating: G
Medium: Digital
Characters: Harry
Summary:
The flowers came slowly this time, one purple bud emerging from the tip of his wand followed by a green vine, and then another bud, this one blue. These moved towards Harry; he flinched when they first curled around his wrist, but stayed very still as they moved up his sleeve. When they came to a stop the vine broke with Harry’s wand and the buds unfurled all at once, bursting open and turning towards the weak rays of sun that made their way through the ceiling.

“Morning Glory,” Draco said.

Notes: HAPPY BIRTHDAY WONDERFUL WONDERFUL DICTA! I hope you'll accept my humble offering :) This fic was so, so fantastic, and this scene in particular spoke to me a lot, so I really wanted to make something for it when your birthday was coming up. I hope you're having a marvellous birthday filled with happiness <3<3 (If anyone has not read this fic I cannot recommend it highly enough!)

Yaay! I can't tell you how pleased I am that you liked it so much :):):):) I really adored that fic, so I honestly jumped at the opportunity to make something for it!

Tbh in my head the surroundings were a bit darker (probably because Malfoy Manor), but after googling manor conservatories I had to admit I was wrong because they were all really light and airy with lightly coloured furnishings. And I'm glad I discovered that, because I quite liked the way it contrasted with Harry, like you said. I really like all the things you describe about the drawing!! So glad it spoke to you like that and fit with your visions for the scene!

Thank you for your fantastic comment! It was my pleasure to draw this for you <3

Also, is it okay for me to post it on Tumblr as well? And if so, is it okay if I caption it with your quote? It's okay whatever you prefer of course, and I'll link to your fic either way :)

Hope your birthday was wonderful <3<3<3

Yes please please please share it everywhere!! I want ALLLL the people to see because GORGEOUS!!

And omg, it's so interesting that you'd pictured it darker because it was one of the rooms in the fic I had the hardest time nailing down and googled different variations for ages, and this just fits so beautifully with what I landed on and just....I love it!!! And really cannot thank you enough! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
