I Will Always Love You | A Dramione Story

A New Draco Malfoy

Draco's P.O.V

Draco had spent his summer with his mother at the Manor. His father had been sent to Azkaban after the war by the Ministry. His mother and himself had been forced to be a part of the Dark Lords control and he had been forced into becoming a death eater. If not the Dark Lord would have killed his mother.

But during the summer he had changed with help from his mother to become a new person, the person he truly was. He was kind, gentle and he had gained a happy sparkle in his eyes and he no longer cared about the blood status anymore. Now he was ready for a fresh start in life and no more of the old Draco.

They had also released all of the house elves that the Malfoy's owned, but they wanted to stay and help. They got new clothes each month and they were no longer punished they were treated to a special night each month and they were all much happier. They lived in happiness and weren't sad anymore.

-- 2 weeks later --

"Draco darling, a letter from Hogwarts has arrived." Said Narcissa Malfoy.

"Okay mum, I'll be down in a minute." Draco replied.

He came bounding down the stairs for breakfast, he landed at the end to find his mother looking at him with a smile.

"Mother, is something wrong?" Draco asked

"Hmm? Ohh, you have just so much and I'm so proud of you. Here's your letter. Draco took the letter from his mother and opened it.

Dear Draco Malfoy,

You have been invited to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to complete your seventh year again. Also attached is a copy of your books and items needed for the year. I would also like to inform you that you have been selected as Head Boy. Please meet me on the train just after lunch and you'll also meet the Head Girl then. Please bring your luggage with you when you meet us.

Yours Sincerely,

Headmistress Minerva McGonagall.

"Mum, I have been invited to attend Hogwarts to redo my seventh year" Draco exclaimed.

His mother looked at him and smiled. She was proud of her boy, but also knew that this next year was going to be hard on him as everyone still thought of him as a death eater. But she knew that once they found out that he had changed that maybe they wouldn't give him such a hard time. Maybe he would even find his true love, she didn't really care what her blood status was as long as she made her Draco happy anyone was good enough for her.

After a while Draco's mother said "well up you go do the washings and start packing your trunk you only have a week to get everything then you have to go."

"Okay, when do you want to go to diagon alley to get the supplies?" Draco asked.

"We'll go tomorrow after lunch and we'll have to stop by Gringotts first to grab some money out. Then we can go and get some things for your broom, some new dress robes as you have once again grown even taller and then your books and potion ingredients. How's that sound?" Narcissa said.

"That sound's great. I'll do the washing now and then we can watch a movie and relax for this evening."

-- The next day --

Draco and his mother flooed over to diagon alley the next day. They went shopping for 3 hours and they had a lovely afternoon just having some fun together. Before they left Narcissa asked Draco if he would like to go to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes to get some things for himself and his friends. Draco thought for a couple of minutes, then finally decided to go in and have a look. He had never been to the Weasley's store because all of the Weasley's hated him and he understood why.

He entered the shop and was blown away by the amount of colour and life that filled the shop, you definitely felt at home and like an adventure was just about to begin. He spotted a tall red head talking to a customer near the desk so he walked over towards the pair. As he approached the conversation ended and George he was guessing stood looking at him with a shocked face.

Finally he said "what do you want Malfoy?"

Draco stood there stunned because he hadn't just been yelled at or hexed. He then checked back into reality an said "Hi umm.., well I just wanted to apologize for all of the rude and mean things that I have done to you and your brother. I never wanted to be a bad person, my father had these mind games where he would get into your head thinking all these bad things about people. When I was younger I was proud to be his son and he had been my idol, but now I know he was an idiot and a jerk and I was too. I am really truly sorry for all the bad things that I said about you and your family, I have changed now and for the better, I will never go back to the old Malfoy. Will you forgive me?"

George looked at Malfoy n complete shock of what he had just said, it took him a while to sink in all of the words but once he was done he looked at Malfoy. "Malfoy what you had done to my family hurt us but we where strong and never thought much of it, I believe that you have changed and I will forgive you. Although I just want to know something, did you ever kill anybody during the war?"

He stood there and answered "I was forced to do something that I never wanted, Voldemort said that he would kill my mother if I didn't comply, I had to go to the dark side because she was the only person that had truly cared and loved me. She knew that I would never had done something like that if I had been forced. I didn't kill anybody, I had been cruel but I would never kill anybody."

George nodded and stuck his hand out, which Draco took acceptingly but was then pulled into a hug. George then said "Freddy died during the war and now I don't have a partner or a best friend anymore, I know you didn't have anything to do with it now, but I just wanted to ask if you wanted to be friends?"

Draco nodded and said "sure mate"

Finally Draco was given a tour of the shop and had bought heaps of things and had gotten a membership and a discount for buying so many things. He trudged to the coffee shop finding his mother reading a book on a small table. Once they grabbed their bags they apparated home and unloaded all of their shopping.
