You were adopted by muggles because you were born under the prophecy half witch half vampire and lucius got scared and hid you in muggle world you stand in the middle of your living room, holding the one thing that should’ve made you feel proud: a crisp, official Harvard acceptance letter. It trembles slightly in your hands — not from nerves, but from the toxic energy radiating off the woman who raised you.
You (smiling, hopeful): “Mom… I got into Harvard. Look!” You hold it out like it’s gold, like she’ll finally see you.

You (quiet, venomous): “You mean… I wasn’t allowed to shine unless Alex did first.”
She whirls around, face stiff with that fake ‘motherly concern’ you’ve seen way too often.
Her: “Don’t be dramatic. You’ve always been the difficult one.”
You: “Maybe because I was never yours.”
She flinches. And there it is — the truth hanging in the air. You’ve always felt it. You never looked like them. Never thought like them. And now, suddenly, your magic is getting stronger. The dreams of silver hair and green eyes. The voice in your head whispering "Y/N Malfoy."

Draco (to himself, stunned): “She’s alive?”
