26 parts Complete MatureThe idea of having alternate universes is fun to think about. It's easy to be able to pretend that in a different life, in a different world, something completely different is happening to someone and everyone around them. So, let's pretend.
Lets pretend that Harry Potter's experience with the Dursley's did not break him down to a shell of a boy. Instead, it made him stronger, made him ice cold and guarded from the world. His heart now wrapped in a cage and only the people he cared for most could reach through the bars without getting burned. Let's pretend that Draco Malfoy is as small and innocent as they come. There is an underlying fire that he has yet to discover, but in the meantime he is just a boy. A boy that craves for the love and affection that he was deprived of from his distant and cruel parents. Let's pretend that Draco Malfoy is drowning, drowning in his yearning to know and feel a connection, any type of connection with anyone. Let's pretend that Draco is reaching the edge of his limit and the only one to bring him back, make him step away from the cliff, is none other than Harry Potter.
