    Summary

    The war is over.
    Voldemort is dead.
    Harry Potter has survived things that should have killed him, done things he never thought himself capable of, and come out the other side of all of it in one piece.
    He should be celebrating.
    He isn't.
    There is one thing he can't leave alone. One face he keeps seeing. One name that sits in his chest like something unfinished.
    So Harry does what Harry has always done; he acts.
    Badly, as it turns out.

    Summary

    "She was a lucky woman, my mother, to be loved by a man like you.", Harry whispered before turning away and making his way out of the room, the heavy feeling of finality weighing upon his soul.

    Summary

    'Mala fides': bad faith, purpose to deceive or defraud
    - Merriam Webster dictionary

    For Harry Potter, the man-who-lived-twice, savior of the Wizarding World, and the ultimate golden boy, life was good. He had survived the war, had a job he loved, a good home, and wonderful friends; the future seemed bright.
    But when he's asked to assist on a case involving Unspeakables, what he discovers deep in the bowels of the Department of Mysteries turns his world upside down.

    Betrayed and heartbroken, Harry does what he knows best; he jumps into the unknown like the good, little Gryffindor he is.

    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.
