"I would sell my soul for just one more minute with her" Draco Malfoy X Astoria Greengrass ***CONTAINS SWEARING AND SCENES OF A SEXUAL NATURE*** Cover designed and created by @Jaye_Rose0000 Spanish translation can be found at @Sky_Riddle_

If there's anything worse than death, it's losing one's self. 19 years after the Second Wizarding War, we only managed to hear snippets of Draco Malfoy and his wife, Astoria (nee Greengrass). Eventually, then, the untimely death of the witch. We only knew of a Greengrass family curse that managed to kill her -- but such an ancestral curse goes as far as its involvement with the Malfoys. Let us take you back several years, when the world was so cruel and dark that a single ray of light would die in an instant. The Dark Lord has returned, and only so much can happen in the span of dark times. If I Lose Myself follows the lives of Astoria Greengrass and Draco Malfoy during the return of the Dark Lord, how they came to be and how they conquered their own demons. This is losing themselves, but finding each other in the heart of a war.

Astoria is a contradiction. A muggle-loving Slytherin, an underage fighter in the Battle of Hogwarts and the daughter of Death Eaters, a kind girl with a pedigree from the Sacred Twenty-Eight. After the war, Astoria must find her place in the new world, while navigating her curse, the prejudices of Slytherin, and her feelings for Draco Malfoy. She discovers that maybe, her place is with him. Cursed Child Compliant.

Astoria Greengrass, a pure-blood witch who had an exceptionally different view on muggle borns unlike the other Slytherin purebloods, was called a blood traitor. But how did she make the bully, bad boy Draco fall in love with her?

"Sometimes, love is unforeseen. And that can be the best kind of love. Unpredictable, unprepared for. Not love at first sight. But love that creeps up on you slowly, rather than dancing luridly in your face. Love from someone you barely even noticed, for whom you had no feelings except indifference. Sometimes we find solace in places we never thought to look, and love for people we never thought to pay attention to."

The never ending love story of a broken Slytherin and a girl who managed to piece him back up.

Two people drastically changed. Both scarred by the horrors of war and plagued by expectation, they somehow find one another and try to make sense of all their pain and suffering.

"Dearest Draco, The way the words from into strange yet lively sentences continues to infatuate me. You no longer speak of dirty slurs, you now speak of a love, and are now a man of change." ••• In the aftermath of the war, Draco Malfoy stumbled across the unconscious Astoria Greengrass. Before Astoria could see him however, he and the Malfoy's were taken into custody, later to be set free. Realizing she never has the change to give him thanks, she sent him a letter expressing her thanks. They don't talk for years, until she gets a graduation present she never expected. ••• Characters aren't mine. They are sadly JK Rowling's. I am not intending to harm anyone by the making of this story-I am merely adding to the love of this ship for a small fraction of the fandom. Started: January 17th, 2021 Finished: February 27th, 2021
