so i’ve started a new drarry fanfic! i’m only going to be posting it on ao3, you can read it here!
In which Draco Malfoy the wizard ceases to exist by the hands of some unavoidable vengeful magic, and is replaced by Draco Malfoy the wizard who doesn’t know he’s a wizard. While living a bumbling and confusing Muggle life without a lick of memory regarding his past, he’s stumbled upon by none other than Harry Potter. Harry is, of course, even more confused as to the state Draco’s in, working in a Muggle flower shop of all things and having no apparent reaction to Harry’s presence. It looks like Harry’s found himself a mystery – one that he intends to get to the bottom of.
A few nights after their agreement and mutual spilling of secrets, Harry sat on his bed, waiting for Draco to return from wherever in the castle he had disappeared to. He really needed some help with the calming draught he was supposed to be able to brew effortlessly, and Draco was the best at potions; Hermione had even conceded to Draco’s knowledge of the subject (not to Draco’s face, of course). Harry knew he could still ask Hermione, but for some reason he found himself looking forward to the idea of Draco helping him instead.
Now it was about 9:30 at night, an hour after Draco was normally back in their room. Harry never asked him where he disappeared to, he figured it wasn’t any of his business. Harry had already gone ahead and tried brewing the calming draught once, but it turned out a thick, clumpy green mess and he knew it definitely wasn’t right. He discarded the contents and tried again, producing a nice looking soft blue liquid. If Draco had been there, he thought, Harry would have known if this time it was correct or not.
But Draco wasn’t there.
The first few weeks of term passed surprisingly uneventfully (in comparison to Harry’s previous years at Hogwarts, that is) and Harry could tell that Ron was more surprised at how well Harry and Malfoy were getting along than Harry was. The entire time he’d known Malfoy, Harry had been so convinced that Malfoy hated him, and it wasn’t like Malfoy had led him to believe anything other than that. And now they seemed to have reached a common ground. But, still, he hadn’t expected their roommate situation to end up like this.
It seemed he and Malfoy were…friends?
