    Summary

    Some truths refuse to stay buried.

    ***

    What starts as a simple “Harry is a Malfoy” twist explodes into the story of Castor Malfoy—a creature-loving, rule-defying wizard making waves in the Triwizard Tournament and beyond. With a family he’s only just met, friends both human and not, a stack of jobs, and more secrets than he knows what to do with, Castor’s life is anything but ordinary. But in a world where lies travel faster than the truth and even a Dark Lord can’t decide whether to fear him or use him, one thing is certain: history will remember both his names.

    ***

    Mostly canon until the Goblet of Fire, aside from the whole kidnapping thing.

    Summary

    Theodore Nott did not believe the hype about Harry Potter.
    And then Potter summoned a corporeal stag the size of his trust issues.

    Now the stag won’t leave, Potter won’t stop rambling, and Theo might be developing a completely manageable, definitely-not-deranged fascination.

    It’s fine.
    He’s fine.
    Everyone is lying.
