Chapter 1 Rebirth
He awoke as he had done every day previous, with his hand resting between the well used pages of The Rein and Defeat of the Dark Lord Voldemort.
Happily he pulled the book up close to his face and caressed the faded name of Harry Potter. The words were nearly completely invisible and Draco knew he’d have to make his father get him a new copy. Although this one was useless because Harry told him he never gave any interviews.
He blinked and the past rushed at him.
Harry
His love
The void
The voices
Draco cried out and a half a dozen house elves crowded around him. They were his care takers; his parent’s were Malfoy’s and therefore couldn’t be bothered to take care of a child.
The house elves pestered after his health until he assured them he was fine, just a head ache, and had taken the potions they forced at him.
They were attentive but stupid, he controlled them and they gave him whatever he wanted. He remembered being a spoiled little brat because of it.
They didn’t even become curious when he asked them the date.
Febuary 17 1991; a few months before the lot of them started at Hogwarts.
After he’d eaten his breakfast, he made a list. A list of the things he needed to do in this past to save his love.
-1) Get Harry out of relatives.
------A) kill relatives (interesting thought but too messy, suspicious)
------B) provide better guardian
------------I) Black
------------II) The Wolf (not possible reasons of ministry interference)
-2) Befriend Harry.
-----A) first meet at Clothing store, be nicer)
Draco snorted at his comments. He was being stupid. He tore up the notes and burned them in the fire. He knew better then to create written proof.
Harry had told him all about his relatives, their dubious care of him, the reasons why he lived with them etc. It had seemed to both of them, after careful thought, that this was mostly Dumbledore’s fault. At the time, the old man had been dead and so therefore unavailable for blame. He was alive now.
A devious plan began to form. It would take patience, planning, and above all ambition, which he had in spades. He’d been trained in espionage by the best, his uncle Severus Snape, after all.
The plan began with his befriending of Harry, and then sorting into Ravenclaw. He would pass himself off as a prodigy and therefore create a place for himself at Harry’s side. The headmaster would have no true reason to repel a Ravenclaw prodigy’s presence in his savior’s life, even if said Ravenclaw as a Malfoy.
He would train his Harry to the best of his ability and take care of the obvious dangers surreptitiously from his side.
The knowledge imparted to him by the voices was vast and all encompassing. He ordered the elves to get him a journal that could only be opened by his command.
When they brought it to him he made a note, just on the first page, to cast a translation spell on the pages when he got his wand. They would be encrypted into parseltounge. Only Harry or Lord Voldemort would be able to read it without the translation charm, which Draco had. It was only one of the useful spells he and Harry had developed.
Draco remembered how they had tried to get Granger to help, but she had decided to only work on projects the Headmaster, and then McGonagall after he died, assigned her and not waste her time on others.
Before the end, Harry had truly regretted cutting himself off from all but those two during school. Draco noted in his new journal that he would need to persuade the boy out of his shell. Those twins were useful and the Longbottom had shown his loyalty if not his worth.
He was sure that Harry would still go into Gryffindor even without his presence convincing him Slytherin was evil. Hagrid and the Headmaster would see to it.
His time between his rebirth and September was spent planning. His magic needed to be restored before he could begin his plans and for that he needed a wand. Only Harry had ever been able to do wandless magic and so Draco did not even try. He would only harm himself.
He only saw his parents infrequently, when they needed to show a united Malfoy front at one event or another. Once weekly, they would have a formal dinner, but Draco spent most of his time studying and with the houselves. They sensed a change in him, but since he was being more polite to them because of this change, they didn’t question it. Only one.
Dobby.
Harry told Draco about Dobby and he’d never told his love that Dobby’s issues may have been his fault. Dobby had read to him the majesty of Harry Potter before he could read. Only the little elf had shared his passion for the hero. Together their fantastic stories became legendary.
Because Draco knew how much the elf loved Harry and visa-versa, he didn’t change much, just helped the elf learn about subtlety and planning. Let the elf know that he would help Harry in any way he could.
His stroke of genius had been asking the elf to check up on Harry. He ordered Dobby not to alert anyone to his presence for any reason.
The elf had returned shaking in little house elf rage. They were starving good Harry Potter wizard. Keeping him locked in a cupboard. Draco had acted suitably surprised and outraged.
He ordered Dobby back with instructions to slowly enlarge the space and help him get food when he snuck out. To prevent Harry’s discovery while out.
It worked and Draco received a blow by blow account of many of Harry’s days and nights.
His days were spent essentially waiting, only interrupted by his uncle’s once monthly visit. His visits were like clockwork. Uncle Severus would arrive at precisely 8 o’clock in the morning every third Saturday of the month, expecting Draco to be up, dressed, and ready to do whatever his Uncle wanted.
This visit, Uncle Severus wanted to talk about what would happen at Hogwarts in two months.
“You are expected to be sorted into my house, but do not expect preferential treatment.”
“Of course Uncle Sev.”
“You may only call me that in private, it will be Professor Snape just like all the other crude brats.”
“Of course Uncle Sev.”
Pause.
“What has gotten into you boy. You are acting most peculiar.”
Draco smiled. His Uncle loved him, but he had obscure ways of showing it. It was always nice to have confirmation.
“I’m just excited about finally going to Hogwarts, and maybe a little nervous.”
His father would have caned him for expressing weakness like that, but his Uncle and he had a special relationship. Before Harry, his Uncle was the only one who ever truly knew him.
“I see. I am sure it has nothing to do with that Potter brat.” Severus replied sardonically.
Draco ducked his head and blushed, as his Uncle would expect. At this point, Draco had not learned how to hide his feelings perfectly.
Severus sighed, “Draco, I fear you have placed unreachable hopes on a fantasy. It is likely that Potter will be a spoiled brat with unparalleled prejudice against you.”
Unbidden, Draco’s heart warmed to the concern no other would be able to hear in his Uncle’s voice.
“I know, but I have to at least try.”
Severus sighed again.
“I did not come here to discuss your imaginary relationship with a celebrity you’ve never met.”
Their discussion turned to how he should act in Slytherin to protect himself. This conversation had gone somewhat differently last time. His Uncle had spent close to an hour bad mouthing Harry Potter in an effort to convince Draco of his folly. Draco’s stubbornness had remained unbuckled and Severus had stormed out.
This was much better and would have been helpful to know. His “10 rules for survival in Slytherin” had been made through trial and error.
When his father came around a few days later and said they were going to get his wand, Draco needn’t fake the excitement.
An: this is the tone of the story. It will be rather face paced with general information and speratic conversation. Hopefully it won't be too long and i mean to get into a place where i can blow threw a few years in only a few chapter. We'll see. Tell me what you think
