Chapter 1
Draco strolled through the old mansion. There’s nothing left that’s really valuable to him. His mother is dead and his father suicided in the prison. Maybe being in Azkaban, surrounded by Dementors, killed his emotion and will.
how he got the knife is still a mystery but that’s not his problem. He is more than happy about his death. Everything was passed onto him the moment his father went to Azkaban which he only had few day to enjoy before getting it taken for being on the side of Death Eater.
So being the smart person Draco is, He took a lot gold out. Not the artifact, the wand, not even old book that seem to grow older with each passing day. Just gold and any valuable jewelry.
And he instantly turn into Mugget’s money. 27 million dollar is what he got. But that’s only the small amount that’s in the vault. If only he can get the whole vault to sell but of course, he have to be carful to not get caught. The ministry will try to suck him dry if they find out he hid some money.
so he pretended for few years to be depressed and lost his light, not even completing Hogwarts and moved away to US for a change. (Yes he change the money to dollar not euro).
he even dyed his hair to brown and his eye color to dark brown. So imagine his surprised when his mother said a letter with owl to ask him to meet up since she is dying.
Draco didn’t even respond and sent the letter back with the owl, making sure that the letter look exactly how it came.
Few day later, the news showed the death of his mother.
Back at the mansion that his mother died in, there isn’t anything really left. The house is so dusted, garden overgrown, the library is barely there and only few book left. The dinning room covered in white cloth, and his room, it’s left as the day he left. Everything is covered in dust.
The only room that’s not screaming with ‘no one lived here’ is his mother’s room. The same room she died in.
Now that Draco looked around, it is really bare. Not even a single dust is there. Like something stoped this room from moving forward with time.
“It might be interesting to explore her room, now that she is dead and can’t try to control me.”
so Draco, being Draco, searched the room. Bunch of hidden draw with jewelry and money. Some books that she liked and even her wedding dress hidden behind her closet.
its ugly in his opinion but still, it might be popular with other people. Especially with people from Black family. Nope. He isn’t getting in trouble this time. So he probably shouldn’t touch it.
Then there are a jewelry book next to the high heel. ( the right side of high heel is gone) Draco felt a smile coming to his face. Yay, more money for me!
then he opened it. There is a book? How the book for there is a thing the normal people question but he is a wizard not a normal human. And then a necklace with red gem in the middle. Weird but pretty.
as he took out the book to check what’s it about, he saw the fucking title: To turn back time. Ya no. Someone else can take care of this- wait what do they mean when they said only pure child of Black and Malfoy can use it? And why the hell are he falling!!!
fuck he should have never touched that weird pretty jewelry. Screw you mom, dad and myself.
———
Draco opened his eye to see he is back in Hogwarts with the very green curtain surrounding his bed and the three pillow on his bed.
of course it’s not a surprise to see the book: To turn back time Part 2!!.
…
What the fuck!!!
his luxury life of living by himself and having the countryside style life came to the end the moment he left US!!! He shouldn’t have left. Now, that’ nice old lady who take care of farm animal is gone with those two kids that come to play in his flower garden. His fucking flower garden that was supposed to bloom in few more day.
his bee hives is gone. His fucking bee hive that took so long to learn is gone. 3 years down the drain.
Fuck this. Fuck that. He is moving out.
that is only if he have the money.
…
Wait he should have more time to change the wizard money to Mugget’ money. And if that doesn’t work, he can just suicide. There no meaning in life if he have to death eater again. He is a genius. Let’s see, the date is the second day of Hogwarts and 2 hour before school start.
He should start planning his suicide first. Before his money. Cause money is easy to get given he is Malfoy but suicide? No one talk about suicide so he have to figure it out.
Opening his curtain, he sees everyone’s curtain is still closed. That means they are still sleeping. Looking through his luggage, He found it. His empty note book that he was planning to use as a journal but stayed empty forever.
taking it back on his bed, (he closed the curtain and cast the spell on it so it stay closed.) it really is a nice notebook. Dark leather with a pen holder that also closes the notebook.
what spell to cast. What spell would be good… definitely so no one other than. Him can open it, the spell so even if he wrote something messy, it change to a certain font. Infinite page. Water proof, fire proof, damage proof. Spell proof? Ya spell proof. (Other than him can’t cast spell on it). Oh wow he is so smart.
he also cats the same spell on the time travel book. (He cover the title with a leather book cover that he just happen to have). He’s not stupid to leave it out.
so there it go. His beautiful suicide journal. Remind him of a popular anime called Bungou stray dogs and the more popular character Dazai. (yes he was 35 when it came out). He even got his book called no longer human. Ha.. the life he had before time travel.
He should buy it again sometime.
maybe add other poplar book like from Nakahara Chuuya and even Akutagawa’s book.
What he would do to get his life back.
Checking the time, it seem like he spent one hour of his life on spell casting and daydreaming about his past and may his death while at it. Oops.
Now, should he act like before or… ya he should just act like whatever he want. No one here is Japanese so they don’t know Dazai which mean they won’t make reference to him and Bungou stray dog is still not out.
Draco got out of his bed to take shower. First thing first, he is going to somehow get his hair to have a natural bit curry hair that doesn’t look like it got dumped with gels.
———
30 minutes. 30 fucking minutes is what it took to get his hair turn back natural. He should have studied a spell that help with hair!! Crying is no use.
And his body is already tired. He feel like his hand turn into jelly. Never again.
his uniform is green like Slytherin and his wand fit right in. Meaning if he buy radio, he can easily put it in. If only phone is out. But he can’t be a picky person.
When he get to the common room, it’s empty. The couch is green as a radioactive paint and the squid seem to be swimming happily. Squid… that’s right! He should find a way to die from squid! While Bungou stray dog had ability, he have magic. So that means there more way to die!!
Draco open his journal in his left pocket. (He should get bunch of snacks to put in his right ride). He writes the title of course: giant squid in Hogwarts. And the way to die. Of course the review have to be after he try it and actually live but if he die, that means 5 star!!
“Draco?”
Draco turn around to find Gregory. Should he act like normal or.. wait he already decided to act like he want to so let’s just do that.
”Hi!! Is it time to go?”
Draco turn rest his head on arm rest so everything look upside down only to find bunch of Slytherin getting ready to leave. Of course they froze the moment he spoke. They stare at him as if they didn’t expect him to act like a child and more like an adult. That thing about Malfoy and their expectation is funny to him now.
“Gregory? You ok? You look like you seen a ghost. Oh wait, ghost do exist so maybe something else. Hello?”
”a-ah. Umm. Are you o- never mind. Sorry ya. It’s time for breakfast.”
Draco pretend to think for a moment before jumping up.
“Oh well, whatever. welp, bye bye squid and let’s go.”
Draco happily strolled through the hallway. His two henchman are walking behind him is confusion but at least they are there. So what else can he do. Before he knew it, he reached the eating room. Oh well, he can figure it out later.
“Hi Pansy! Hello to you too, Blaise! What you doing?”
Draco sat down and his two henchman aka. His best friend sat in front of him. Pansy start chocking and Blaise helped her.
”Draco you bloody hell, you scare the shit out of me.”
“ya it’s like you run back into a child.”
Draco faked his thought again before saying ok, much to his friends’ disbelief.
Other Slytherin stared at Draco as he played with his food. Then Draco stabbed the food with his butter knife and that’s the moment they turn away.
“So? What happened?”
Blaise asked as he sat down back at his seat. Pansy nodded with him.
”Ya, it’s like you changed to a whole different person.”
At that, Draco’s eye shined.
“You see, I read this popular book and it was amazing. I realized so much things that I decided to not care about anything anymore.”
(the book happen to be no longer human)
At that Pansy froze.
”What?”
But Draco already tone her out. He looked at the food he stabbed before bring it to his mouth. It tasted good. He can taste the way the super sweet honey mixes with the waffle’ crispy outside.
good thing today is Friday or else he will burn the school down to go buy candy. He need his snack soon or else he will get upset.
“Draco, are you listening?”
”huh?”
Draco look back to Pansy as she look at him with a frown.
“Oh hello, Pansy. How are you doing?”
Then, Pansy’s frown turn into an angry face. But before she can do anything Draco waved at Severus. Oh course he looked shocked at the fact he is wearing a bright smile but that’s not Draco’s problem.
Pansy seeing that Draco is in fact ignoring her but also seem to be interacting with Head of Slytherin, didn’t do anything and just stay still.
He look back at his Waffle that is in fact stabbed with a knife again and not fork . It’s a good waffle. He really like the waffle. If he could, he would eat it. But his stomach is yelling at him so he just pushed the food away.
maybe no sweets in the morning. Draco looked at the fruits in the fruit bowl. Apple, pear, orange and pineapple? Wait a pineapple?
Oh well food is food and Draco snatched some apples before putting them in his pocket. Just as he put them in his infinite pocket, the bell rang. Draco got up with the rest of the student.
He then gave Pansy a head pat, ruining her hair.
”Bye Pansy, see you later.”
Draco gave a genuine smile which froze Pansy. In the past he was always rude and like to make fun of people, especially when they don’t listen to him. But there was never a genuine smile. Smile is a weakness or at least that’s what his father told him and that’s why he never really smiled. Even among his friends.
The now Draco walked away with his two best friend. Well, that’s before he got grabbed by someone. It was Pansy.
”Draco… where the bloody hell you think you are going?”
”To class?”
Panay looked shunned.
”We have the same bloody class you imbecile!!”
And to his friends horror, he actually looked surprised at the fact the they all have same class.
———
Good thing he have his friends cause he forgot what class he have. And it’s double potions. His favorite.
He sat down in the back corner much to his friend’s surprise.
”Draco, I still don’t understand what happen to you but- are you listening??”
Draco was in fact not listening to whatever Blaise is saying. He was more interested in waving hand to everyone, including Gryffindor. Everyone was staring at Draco and Blaise over know to care or not.
”Blaise just leave it. It more funny this way.”
Pansy the very girl who was mad isn’t mad anymore and just laughing at Gryffindor’s shocked face.
“Hello Neville Longbottom, Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan, Lavender Brown, Parvati Patil, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger… wait that’s all of them right?”
Pansy looked at Blaise who in in face making a weird face.
“See it’s funny.”
Vincent and Gregory was in fact laughing with Pansy. While Draco seem to change what he is doing to try to balance the book on his head by not putting it face down but putting it on standing position on his head.
“Draco! What the hell-“
All the other Gryffindor seem to be confused and weirder out from Draco’s weird way of acting.
But before Ron can ask what the fuck they are doing, Severus strolled in like a drama queen. Very Severus like and very elegantly.
Then he started roll calling. He made fun of Potter like he always does.
“Ah, yes. Harry Potter. Our new – celebrity.”
The word celebrity seem to be draped with venom, ready to strike first. Vincent and Gregory seem to be ready to laugh but one look from Draco stopped them.
”I’m tired and if any of you made any sound that doesn’t sound like doing class, I’ll make sure to kill you. Good night.”
And with that Draco rested his head on his arm to sleep. Pretending to sleep. He just don’t want to deal with anyone right now.
Everything went well except for a few stare from Severus who seem to be confused on what the hell Draco is doing.
(Draco try to sleep again again quickly finishing the potion)
Yes, Draco isn’t stupid. He got partner up with Gregory and Draco made Gregory do everything which didn’t turn out as bad. (Draco actually did everything. He made sure Gregory can do it by giving him experience while Draco told Gregory what to exactly it do).
with only few minutes left, it’s not wrong to say Draco is bored. When he was older, he would have taken care of garden again and again, until he looked at his garden for the tenth time. And then, he would have read books.
the same thing happened as before with Neville’s potion exploding and Gryffindor losing point. If he could he would have liked to learn about potion that can make any food taste good.
He try to imagine a cat outside but it’s not there. He sighed which seem to startled Gregory.
“You alright?”
Draco shook his head.
“Nope! I’m so bored but not bored enough to hallucinate.”
Gregory just stayed silent after that.
Draco looked away but from the corner of his eye, he could see Gregory looking around for other friend and kind of point at him.
What a cool friends he have
