Redemption's Embrace

Chapter 1: A new student?(Remake)

Draco has been a bully since his 1st year at Hogwarts. But now in his 4th year it was later announced that there would be a new student at Hogwarts he thought a plan of making their lives miserable but he wouldn't know what it would change his life. The Great Hall buzzed with excitement as Professor McGonagall made the announcement that there would be a new student joining Hogwarts. Draco, seated at the Slytherin table, exchanged knowing glances with his friends. It was a rare opportunity, and he had a devious plan to ensure the new student's welcome would be anything but warm.

Days turned into weeks as anticipation built, and Draco's eagerness grew. He had perfected his strategy, ready to unleash his brand of torment upon the unsuspecting newcomer. Little did he know that his world was about to be turned upside down.
The day finally arrived when the new student was set to make their entrance into the Great Hall. Draco couldn't contain his excitement, relishing the thought of the fear he would instill in them. But as the doors swung open, his malicious grin faltered.

Stepping into the Great Hall was a girl with long, dark hair and strikingly captivating eyes. It was Astoria Greengrass, and Draco felt a strange, unfamiliar sensation deep within him. He watched as she approached the sorting hat, and in the blink of an eye, she was sorted into Slytherin, right alongside him.Draco's friends exchanged confused glances, wondering why he didn't seize the opportunity to torment the new student. Instead, he found himself strangely drawn to her, unable to tear his gaze away. He couldn't explain the feelings that welled up inside him, feelings that had never stirred within him before.

As the days turned into weeks and Draco and Astoria found themselves in the same classes and common room, he couldn't help but notice her intelligence, her kindness, and her unwavering determination. It was as if she possessed a magnetic pull that drew him in, and he found himself wanting to be near her, rather than torment her.

Draco's world had been turned upside down by the unexpected arrival of Astoria Greengrass. He was no longer the ruthless bully he once prided himself on being, for he had fallen into a whirlwind of emotions he couldn't comprehend—emotions that would challenge everything he thought he knew about himself and what he desired in life.
