Title: What if We Could
Author:
effluencyPairing: H/D, potentially more to come
Rating: I predict a tame "T"/"PG-13" for now.
A/N: A while ago I made a post in a community (to be honest, I don't remember which...) wondering if anyone had done an AU involving Harry with a normal life, AKA the series being renamed Neville Longbottom. I still wanted it in Harry's perspective and I definitely wanted it to be H/D. It turns out that nobody (as far as the search results went) had done something that specific, so I was inspired to try my hand at it. I'm a little nervous to post it because I haven't written fanfiction in well over a year, but I honestly miss it! I've lurked around here quite long enough and I didn't feel comfortable becoming active without contributing, hahaha...
Beta: I AM LOOKING FOR A BETA!!! And I don't just mean for grammar things, though I assure you there will probably be mistakes since this wasn't Beta'd, but I also want someone to bounce ideas off of and kind of collaborate with, since this is such a bizarre idea that I have. I need to make sure this makes sense to someone else in the future! So, if you're interested, just leave a comment!
Disclaimer: This story is so far away from ever being Harry Potter, but nonetheless, the characters and the inspirational plot belong to JK Rowling and most certainly not myself. Furthermore, the title of this story is a name of a Blue October song.
Summary: Meet Harry Potter, Gryffindor seeker, mischief making extraordinaire, and of course admirer of Neville Longbottom, the Boy Who Lived. Enter Draco Malfoy, son of reformed suspected Death Eater Narcissa Black. Is the chemistry really any different from what we're already used to?
( Prologue: How awful it would've been for Harry James Potter to bear the moniker 'The Boy Who Lived.' )
