Introduction
— And... that's it? —The boy sighed, closing the book with disdain. — It was fun, but somehow I feel disappointed...?
He slammed the book shut, he had finally finished the much-acclaimed "Harry Potter" saga, although he wasn't sure if it was due to the influence of his friends, the networks or even the movies, but now that he had finished reading he felt anything but satisfied. Maybe it was because it wasn't his first time reading the series, he had read it when he was 12 years old at that time it was fucking amazing, he filled his head with fanfics and fanarts to fill the void left by the end of the series, he read the play about Harry Potter's son and although he didn't like it much it was entertaining, it wasn't his favorite work, but it had good details, maybe he had matured or read books with much better quality because the Harry Potter books felt... superficial to say the least, the same cycle was repeated in each book, Harry has problems before arriving at Hogwarts, during the course and at the end he meets the final boss who would be Voldemort and by the power of the script he was saved epically every time.
He found the plot holes, the poor IQ of the villains, even Voldemort, the endless exaggerated tragedies of the protagonist... he realized that Harry Potter was, after all, just a generic novel of heroes and villains, with the difference that there was a school of magic, if Harry had had a harem it would have become a generic stud novel and, on top of that, having the protagonist sacrificed, who has no parents, no family or anything, basically his secret weapon was his mother's love. It's not that I underestimate maternal love, but is it really necessary to put so much value on it? Maybe if Harry had had a special power (apart from talking to snakes, which, after all, wasn't that useful) it would have been more entertaining.
Also, many aspects were not developed like the other houses apart from Gryffindor and Slytherin, although Slytherin was only mentioned to say that they were all bad, the only thing that was known about Hufflepuff was Cedric Diggory and well... we already know what happened and from Ravenclaw there was Cho, Cedric's girlfriend, and Luna Loveggod who was Harry's friend but not as relevant. Many characters had unnecessary deaths or lack of development, like Sirius Black and Draco Malfoy.
First of all, Sirius was Harry's godfather, he was unjustly imprisoned for 13 years and then when it seemed that something good was finally going to happen to Harry in his life, they killed him. Draco by the other side had potential for a redemption arc after the war, he could have even participated more, it was only known that he was a spoiled child, with a Death Eater father and from Slytherin, but he or his family was never explored in depth.
He was thinking about all that when he was then short of breath, everything went black, he couldn't reach the inhaler that was behind the Harry Potter book he had just left on his desk, he reached out his hand trying to reach it, he only reached the book,
—Stupid novel...
He managed to get out before passing out, then a voice similar to Google translator sounded in the darkness.
【 Activation code: "Stupid novel." The System was automatically activated. 】
— What? —he asked to nothing in reality, the mechanical voice continued speaking.

— What the fuck?....
Then a voice woke him up, it seemed like a girl's.
— Draco... Draco! —the girl hugged him then— Thank Merlin you woke up, you worried us a lot you know?
He was lying on a stretcher, a girl with dark brown hair, fair skin and blue eyes smiled softly at him, it took him a moment to get his bearings, then in the girl's head he managed to read almost the same way she would appear in an RPG video game «Pansy Parkinson - Slytherin Student»
He sat up and put a hand to his head, he realized that his left arm was in a cast, he took a moment to look around, everything felt too familiar... and that name, the kind of description... He had read enough fanfics and novels in his life, to know that he didn't have to do, he shouldn't panic and much less act as if he were a stranger, he had to adapt... But it was much easier said than done, he took a deep breath.
— I'll call Madame Pomfrey —the girl announced, getting up from the stretcher. Once she was far away, he almost fell out of bed trying to reach the mirror that Pansy had probably forgotten on top of the side table. He opened his eyes in shock and horror.
Silver blonde hair, fair skin, grey eyes, sharp features it was Draco Malfoy.... of all the characters it had to be Draco Malfoy?!
Of all the characters... Why Draco Malfoy!! He was never explored in depth in the books, how was he not supposed to raise suspicions, why the fuck wasn't he the main character? Like he transmigrated to a novel and wasn't the fucking main character! Literally Draco Malfoy was nothing more than a secondary character, a bully and that's it. He internally thanked that Harry Potter was an almost children's saga so they weren't going to kill him off like any other filler villain... He let out a sigh, left the mirror on the table, then the nurse arrived with Pansy and some other kids, he read the sign above their heads «Vincent Crabbe - Slytherin Student» «Gregory Goyle - Slytherin Student»
Okay those were Draco's friends, or should I say his friends? Behind him came a woman with a stern face, naturally it was Madame Pomfrey who did not seem very pleased to see him in the infirmary
— So Mr. Malfoy, are you awake, any discomfort? —she asked but she did not seem genuinely worried
— Maybe a headache, but nothing more Madame, could I leave? —her voice sounded arrogant to say the least, but somehow unusually, the nurse frowned.
— Perhaps you should check the affected area one last time before you leave... Mr. Malfoy —The woman approached and checked the back of his head, then after a while gave an affirmative hum.— I suppose everything is in order, you may retire to class
— Thank you —There was silence, Pancy, Crabbe and Goyle looked at each other, the nurse raised her eyebrows as if surprised.
—Okay... —said the witch turning around and muttering something to herself.
— Come on guys —he said with that characteristic air of sufficiency and the other Slytherins followed him,
[OOC Alert!]
Something similar to a video game interface appeared in front of him.
[The user will be able to unlock the OOC functions after completing the starting mission, although this failure will be forgiven because he was not informed before, if this is repeated before unfreezing the OOC function points will be subtracted, if these points reach 0 he will be returned to his original world]
To make matters worse there was a points system? What the hell was that? Besides he was almost sure that his subscription to the life of his old world had already expired and naturally if he ran out of points he would be officially dead, he could not allow that.
— Draco...? —Pansy called— Are you sure you're okay?
He raised an eyebrow and gave him a mocking look, he needed to stay in character and his knowledge of Malfoy was scarce, he was a child, rude, selfish, spoiled and a stupid antagonist.
"Of course, I just wanted to get out of the infirmary, I couldn't stand another minute there and I guess Madame Pomfrey didn't want to see me there either."
He answered in a petulant tone, more like what Malfoy would say, the three boys immediately relaxed.
The video game interface appeared again accompanied by that Google translator voice.
[Congratulations! You have been linked with exit to the character 'Draco Malfoy' student role of the Slytherin house at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]
"Hey, why Malfoy? Weren't there more characters available?"
He asked the system sarcastically mentally, but he didn't expect to be answered.
[I'm afraid it was only available to link Draco Malfoy's character, once the command is activated there is no turning back and 110 B points of courtesy are granted]
"Well, what a detail..."
He thought sarcastically, he walked with the other Slytherins to the common room, luckily for him, Pansy opened the door saying the password out loud "Ambition", it was a rather surprising password, too simple to be honest, after all in the books they only talk about Gryffindor and their passwords are extravagant and exaggerated.
— Guys, could you bring me up to date on what happened while I was in the infirmary?
—Well you fainted because you hit your head with a rock after that beast attacked you, they took you to the infirmary and you passed out for two days
Draco tried not to show too much with his expression, according to that information he was in his third year at Hogwarts, when Draco Malfoy was attacked by the hippogriff for acting like an idiot for a change, but in the book they never talked about him fainting, there was definitely a divergence in the cannon and he was almost certain that was what brought him there in the first place.
