WARNING: UNFINISHED.
I've been very inactive on Wattpad recently, so any updates I put out will happen slowly and over the course of a long time. If this notice is still here it's still unfinished, so I wouldn't recommend reading it.


"Part of me wishes I could have been a Gryffindor, but I guess not everyone gets to play the good guys."
Everyone else gets a choice. Everyone else has somewhere to go; everyone else has somewhere to hide. But lost and alone, young Draco Malfoy turns to the only place he can go: the side of the Dark Lord. As stakes slowly climb higher and higher, Draco begins to realise that the only person he's really hiding from is himself...
This is a re-telling of the Harry Potter books from Malfoy's point of view, as I thought it would be interesting to highlight his choices and how he wouldn't have done most of what he did if he only had a choice...

✅CANON COMPLIANT✅
Though there are scenes in this book not contained within the Harry Potter series (since Draco's pov includes the common room, etc.) I don't stray far from canon, so if you're hoping for Drarry or Dramione you won't find it here.

***PREVIEW*** ~~~~ A moan escaped her, and he abruptly ended the passionate moment. He pulled away, leaning his forehead on hers, their heavy breaths mixing in the space between them. Malfoy's thumb caressed Dahlia's cheek, and her eyes fluttered open to meet his. "You aren't expendable to me," Draco hissed forcefully. "Do you understand?" Dahlia couldn't form words. She tried, but none came so instead she nodded. "Words, Dumbledore, use your words." Hissing at the use of her surname, she looked up at him and snarled, "Understood, Malfoy." He didn't seem put off by her anger. Rather, he seemed pleased with himself. He gave a nod to her, and then locked eyes with Harry for half a second. The boys seemed to have a silent, nonverbal conversation before Potter inclined his head to the Slytherin, who did the same. Then the blonde boy disappeared through the flap of the tent. ~~~~~~~~ Dahlia Dumbledore is a young girl with a confusing past. Raised at Hogwarts as the headmaster's ward, Dahlia doesn't know who her true parent's are. Her first year at Hogwarts it becomes apparent that she isn't a normal witch, and Dumbledore makes her swear to keep her identity and powers a secret. Dahlia's alone, trapped in a web of secrets and lies. The only person who might understand her is the one person she hates. Draco Malfoy has is own fair share of secrets. He can't help but be drawn to the strange new witch at Hogwarts, and what secrets she holds. Can he overcome his own trials to help Dahlia with hers? Will her heritage be their undoing or their salvation? *Slowburn, so don't expect smut right away. ;) A/N- I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE ORIGINAL HARRY POTTER CHARACTERS - ONLY MY ORIGINAL CHARACTER AND HER STORY LINE.

"Mr. Malfoy, where are you going? You just woke up from a great fall after all, I'm sure your friends can come here, instead of you going to them." Who was Malfoy? Oh right, it was probably him. A little bit late, he realised that he should have told her about the complete memory loss since he had no idea where he was going to go once he left the hospital-like room. On second thought, maybe making a scene would have actually been a good idea. Well, it was too late to turn back now. "I will just be going out for a little stroll...around. I must admit that I am in dire need of some fresh air. My, how long did you say I was out for again?" He put his hand to his chest like it was an absolute travesty to have not been told. "I-uh...four days, Mr. Malfoy. You were out for four days." "Well then, I shall be going now. Toodaloo!" Madam Pomfrey stood completely frozen for a long moment like this was the exact opposite of what she expected to happen when Draco woke up. "Mr. Malfoy, wait!" The witch eventually called out, but Draco was already out of the door. Draco wakes up in the hospital wing having no idea who he is and how he got there. Turns out he fell 20 feet down the stairs and got his memory wiped. What else could go wrong? Meeting Harry Potter definitely was fun, but can he figure out who obliviated him and get his memories back? Or will he be stuck like this for the rest of his life? Drarry story Draco is best friends with Pansy, Theo, and Blaise This story is a mix between being fun and being angsty, so be prepared for sudden jumps between light and dark (I can't help how my brain thinks, just roll with it) For teen and up audiences. TW: Mentions/implied reference of child abuse and only a splash of language There will be warnings at the beginning of a chapter if necessary. The cover is the result of me being supremely bored. Yes I know it sucks but that's kind of the point because I am no editor, just ignore it as best as you can

"You're such a prick! I knew you hadn't really changed. You're just back to your old ways, torturing me." Harry can still feel Draco's hand around his arm. Their breath mingles as Harry's eyes rove around Malfoy's face. "You probably enjoy it too." "Immensely." They're so close that Harry could count Draco's eyelashes if he wanted to. "You're the worst," Harry gasps out between breaths. His heartbeat pounds overwhelmingly loud in his ears as he loses his senses. His eyes drop to Draco's lips again, and he swallows loudly, interrupting the silence that is only filled with the sound of their heavy breathing. "Fuck you Malfoy." ---- Harry is tired of being enemies with Draco. He has more important things to worry about. The most pressing of those being his real enemy, Voldemort, who is now at large. And then Draco starts acting suspicious and Harry wants to know the truth. He always tries to believe the best in people, but Harry is starting to wonder if there is any good left in Draco at all. ---- Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters. Complete!
