The game was at its peak when Draco Malfoy found himself dodging a particularly aggressive Bludger. The crowd roared, oblivious to the impending danger. In a desperate attempt to help, Gilderoy Lockhart cast a spell, but it backfired spectacularly. Draco watched in horror as his arm went limp, devoid of bones. "No worries, I can fix this!" exclaimed Lockhart, waving his wand once more. But instead of healing, the Gemini spell struck Draco, transforming him into an identical twin of Harry Potter.
Draco awoke to find himself staring at what seemed to be Harry Potter's reflection. Panic surged through him as he grappled with his new identity. Serpent Malfoy, his cunning twin, saw this as an opportunity and ensured the change was permanent. "You'll never be a Malfoy again,"[/@ch_4_d] [@ch_4]Serpent sneered. Over the next few days, Draco began to absorb Harry's memories and abilities, including the rare gift of Parseltongue.
Draco stood nervously in the doorway, determined to make amends. "I know I've been a prat," he began, locking eyes with Harry. Harry and Hermione exchanged glances, their skepticism evident. But as Draco recounted his ordeal, their expressions softened. It was Harry who extended a hand first, a gesture of newfound friendship. "Welcome to Gryffindor," he said, sealing the bond.
With bated breath, Draco sat beneath the Sorting Hat. Professor McGonagall watched intently as the Hat deliberated. Draco felt a sense of belonging as it finally shouted, "Gryffindor!". The table erupted in cheers, and he was welcomed with open arms. In this new house, Draco found acceptance and a chance to prove himself.
Draco and Harry descended into the Chamber, their wands at the ready. Draco felt the weight of his new powers as he confronted Tom Riddle. The battle was fierce, but with Harry's guidance and Draco's newfound skills, they triumphed over the Basilisk. Emerging victorious, Draco realized he had found his place not only in Gryffindor but in the fight for good.
Draco and Harry spent the summer at the Dursleys', much to Vernon's annoyance. The two shared a room, their nights filled with whispered conversations and shared dreams. Harry introduced Draco to the quirks of Muggle life, and together they plotted their next adventure. Meanwhile, Serpent Malfoy, simmering with resentment, plotted his revenge, ensuring that the story of Draco Potter was far from over.
