Why this must be read:

This is a long, captivating story with a simple premise: What if Draco Malfoy had been Sorted into Ravenclaw instead of Slytherin? Draco's personality doesn't change in his new House, though Maya's Draco is generally more aristocratic and less snot-nosed brat than the Draco from the books. The concept is great. It starts with the Sorting in first year and goes through the end of sixth year. Some events stay the same, but some are altered by this one change to the story, and the shifted alliances that occur because of it. I love the whole cast of characters here. The story is primarily Draco/Harry, though over the course of six years in school, Draco has other relationships. But even if Draco can't, or won't, admit it to himself, all of these relationships somehow lead back to his obsession with Harry Potter. It's great fun.

"You wanted to be in Slytherin?" Terry ventured. "Well, I mean - I don't think Ravenclaw is so different."

Draco wanted to demand how it was the same, when none of his friends were with him and he was stuck up in a tower and his father was going to be disappointed in him again, but Lucius would've called that snivelling, so he glared ferociously at Terry and hoped he would proceed.

Terry gazed at him earnestly, eyes wide behind his glasses. "Well, Slytherins are the ambitious ones, aren't they? They like power. And knowledge is power, so..."

Knowledge is power. The words rattled around Draco's head for a minute and then seemed to find somewhere to fit. His father would like that, he thought. Knowledge is power.
