[Harry Potter] My House Can't Possibly Be Gryffindor (Don't Read If You Mind OOC or Embarrassing Old History)

The original title was "Reborn with Misfortune" Also known as "Seeking a Peaceful Life at Hogwarts, Only to End Up in the Wrong House" and "Those Years of Adventures in the Lion House with The Chosen One" [Warning: Draco is in the Lion House. Draco is in the Lion House. Draco is in the Lion House. This is important, so I'm saying it three times. Read at your own risk.] After the war, even though Draco had once spared The Chosen One, he still could not change the Malfoy family's fate of decline. Not only did his mother die of grief, leading his father to choose to end his life in prison, but his own body was damaged, leaving him with little time to live. Yet perhaps Merlin heard his wish. Just as he thought he was about to die, he returned to infancy. He was still the heir to the Malfoy family, but the price of being reborn nearly left him a Squib... After that, it was as if he had used up all his luck in his previous life. Misfortune clung to him, and strange objects seemed to fall on him or trip him whenever he went out. Otherwise, his carriage would suddenly break down on the road. Every divination reading pointed to disaster dogging his footsteps, though he had no idea whose curse he was under. What he found even harder to accept was that the damn Sorting Hat ignored his wishes and tossed him into the lion's den, making him the laughingstock of the Pure-blood families. In the end, he even lost his heart to that Chosen One who was always hovering around him and could never be chased away... Draco: I feel like even after being reborn, I'm still a tragedy (covers face). Author: Don't be sad. At least having The Chosen One means you have the whole world. Harry: ... So what sparks will fly when a cursed jinx magnet meets a troublemaker who is always getting into mischief? In short, this is a story about Draco being reborn, facing a life gone awry, and accidentally falling in love with The Chosen One. ※ Story warnings: * Pairing: DH / a scheming, prickly queen-like top x an innocent, energetic, loyal-dog bottom. * Voldemort is still the final big bad. The ending is a happy, joyful reunion. * In this story's version of the previous life, the world is parallel to canon. Draco did not marry after the war and died at twenty. After being reborn, his body could not accommodate his soul, causing his magic to run wild and nearly turning him into a Squib. (His magical source and the channels that carried it were damaged, but have gradually recovered as his body has grown.) * This follows the original story, so about fifty percent is similar to canon. The differences come from the butterfly effects caused by the reborn Draco in Gryffindor. Characters may be made uglier or more admirable when the plot requires it. If you can't accept this premise, please leave quietly. I will not accept mockery or people looking for a fight. ※ Author's note: I was really torn over which house to put Draco in. Putting him in Ravenclaw or Harry in Slytherin would have been too familiar, and more people have written those versions. So in the end, I simply put him in Gryffindor. It also gives him more interaction with Harry. How great is that? (gets beaten up #) This will probably be a deal-breaker for quite a few people, but let me quietly say that Harry had the potential to become a Slytherin, so, well... I think Draco, after experiencing the war, should also have been qualified for Gryffindor. Although he was afraid of Voldemort, he became one of the Death Eaters and went to war for his parents. But he never killed anyone, so I think he was brave and kind, too (tears #). Anyway, this story has more headcanons than you can shake a stick at, plot holes everywhere, severely out-of-character characters, writing like a primary school student, and a bad track record of abandoning unfinished stories. So don't expect too much from me. I'm also extremely thin-skinned, so I will delete malicious comments. Please understand (bows #). ※ Update schedule: If I haven't updated for a month, it means I've abandoned the story and run off. Don't worry about me (runs away under a pot lid #).
