The Chamber Of Secrets (A Harry Potter Rewrite)
Life couldn't be better for Ria. Hogwarts seemd to be the key that unlocked every good thing for her. But Mysteries are on the brew even befor the four children get to school. A sinister plot is on play inside the walls of Hogwarts and they are caught up in the middle again. Will she solve the puzzles in time to save everyone? Or will her perfect life go up in flames? **IMPORTANT** This book is very much just an introduction followed by incorporating the new character into the established world and timeline. As the author, I would suggest the following. 1. Read "Philosopher's Stone" (this book) till before the chapter titled "THE JOURNEY FROM PLATFORM NINE AND THREE QUARTERS" 2. Skip the rest. It is merely a telling of what you have already read in canon, just from a different perspective. 3. Move to "The Chamber of Secrets" and start with the chapter titled "TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE." All the chapters before that are, once again, events you would already be familiar with. 4. Finish book 2 and move on to book 3. There on after, you can read normally. This isn't compulsory. It is simply, in my opinion, the best way to enjoy the series. Since I understand that some portions of the first two books are not very different from canon and thus, can seen boring. Thank you for understanding and hope you enjoy! ** 71k + wordsComplete

GUILTY ~ a Draco Malfoy story
Born a half-blood, she grew up in the shadows of two worlds. Her Muggle-born mother abandoned the family when the strangeness of magic became too much, leaving her to care for her ailing father-once a dark wizard whose past sins still linger. While others her age studied openly at Hogwarts, she taught herself magic in secret, hiding her power and her lineage. But the ghosts of her father's alliances eventually found her, dragging her into a world she had tried to avoid. As Harry Potter's war with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named raged, she was forced to question her silence, her survival, and her place in a future she could no longer outrun. Enrolling at Hogwarts in her fifth year, she is thrust into friendships and rivalries that test her loyalties-and into a love that began as anger, sharpened with lust, and deepened with every stolen glance. Haunted by the love she left behind and torn by the one she's falling into, she must navigate the dangerous truth of who she is and decide whether she will shape her fate... or let it consume her.

Voldemort is gone, (for good this time) and Harry is struggling with his purpose, his fate, his future.

Harry's not sure what to make of the new Draco and when they're paired up as partners in potions, Harry is anything but excited.

Enemies - the updated version | dm
It's kind of unsettling how happiness and joy can abruptly turn into feelings of misery and despair at any time. It's incredible how one person can completely transform your life, and how, when they go, they can completely reverse that transformation and leave you feeling completely different. When someone ends their life for you, even though they had a long life ahead of them, you're somehow expected to just move on, no matter how long it takes, right? Even though we were intended to be lovers forever, one of us had to say goodbye and left, therefore they refer to us as enemies to lovers. - (this is an enemies to lovers story) Despite driving each other insane, Mila Blackwood and Draco Malfoy are unable to determine whether their feelings are love or hate. Since they first arrived at Hogwarts, Mila and Draco have been adversaries. However, things are now changing, and they find themselves unable to keep apart. They are unsure if this is a good or terrible thing. - Highest Rank: #1 in dracomalfoy, draco and harrypotter xComplete
