A New Beginning (джен)

Примечания автора:
Uh, I am really avoiding the next chapter (11) of Face Death in the Hope. Mainly because just thinking about how to start it made me cry. There is so much angst and pain there, oh my god. Maybe in a couple days I'll be able to handle writing Harry meeting his parents, but until then, nope, nope, nope.
So I wrote this instead. It's a one-shot I've been wanting to write for awhile, because I'm a huge sucker for Time Travel (I don't know how this could possibly not be obvious by now) and while I'm not actually a Drarry fan, the idea of tiny Harry and tiny Draco being adorable friends together is cute.
I originally was going to write this from Draco's POV, but... man, I just could not characterize Draco properly from his point of view. It was just not happening. But fast forward through several forgotten decisions, and I ended up writing a Time Travel Redo fic from the perspective of someone who is not the traveler. So because it won't be obvious, I wrote this with the idea that Draco is from around 1997 or 1998-ish, with the vague idea that he thought Voldemort was going to win and the future of the Malfoy family was pretty hopeless.
I think this was written out of the idea that Draco would be really bad at pretending that he was eleven years old again. I'm pretty quiet, but you can bet your ass that my parents would immediately notice something was up if I was suddenly back to when I was eleven. I'd have no clue how to act like I was eleven again and would definitely not-at-all remember what I was wanting for my birthday or whatever at that time, etc. Also, I would not be able to stop from swearing.
Please note the following:
1) The Malfoys are not good people. I'm trying to write them as a loving family, but they're also manipulative supremacists. Case in point:
2) Dobby is a part of the Malfoy household at this time, but he's not largely mentioned because the Malfoys do not see Dobby as a person.
3) Again, I think this was written from the idea that Draco would suck at hiding his personality changes. Like, c'mon, he's a total brat. They'd notice.
4) EDIT (June 25th, 2019): This fic is over three years old now and I don't feel like rewriting it. Changed an OC's name from Miriam to Mireille though. The first chapter is the fic itself. The second chapter is a link to the sequel, which I intend to delete within a week or so.
