Chapter 2: New Life, New life.
Issei blinked, seeing the unfamiliar ceiling. He was sure he was not dreaming nor reliving any memory of the characters he had gained traits of, seeing as he could control his body and move around at will.
Checking the mirror, Issei saw that he was now a boy again. More importantly an eight year old boy with blond platinum hair in a Victorian era style mansion, if the décor was anything to go by, this was certainly new to him.
"Master Draco" a squeaky voice said, making Issei move away from the mirror he was checking himself with, "you're awake I see." The speaker was a goblin like creature, with shrivelled appearance, long pointed nose and ears, and a frail body. It was the house elf, Homer, Issei's mind supplied.
"Yes Homer, I am awake. Thanks for pointing the obvious." Issei automatically replied. "I presume its time for breakfast?"
"Yes, master Draco. Your mother is waiting to join you for breakfast while sadly your father, Master Lucius won't be joining you for breakfast as he has business to attend too." Homer informed him.
Issei felt a spike of anger at the mention of his father not joining him for breakfast.
'Great, I not only hijacked someone's body, but their soul is still there somewhere deep inside.' Issei deducted seeing the strange situation before him. It seemed that this was a new aspect of his power. Now this was headache inducing.
"Inform mother I'll be down there in a moment, Homer." Issei ordered the elf and dismissed him. 'In the meanwhile let me see what I can find out.' Issei thought as he began to examine his body as he made his way down.
It seemed that from what he can gather from his host memories his name was Draco Malfoy, a well know antagonist of the Harry Potter franchise. 'Well it could have been worse. I could have ended up as Voldemort or even Dumbledore.' Issei thought as he thought over his situation.
He also found out that there was no second soul in his body, which was made Issei sigh in relief as he did not want to have a second passenger along for the ride, though he did found out that he had gained some traits of Draco along with his memories.
"Good Morning Draco." His mother or more specifically Draco's mother Narsissa Malfoy nee Black greeted him.
"Good Morning mother." Issei greeted, he really did not know what to feel about the woman before her as she was his mother and gave him the same feeling as his birth mother Haruhi Hyoudou gave.
He simply chose to go with the flow for now, setting his body on auto-pilot, for the duration of the breakfast and the following conversation as he tried to sort out what was going on and how was he going to adjust to it.
Issei knew that it was his powers that bought him here somehow and shoehorned him into Draco's body and gave him a new set of parents and 'friends' if his new memories were to go by, though it did seem that he had gotten some skills and knowledge out of it too.
That just left how he was going to deal with living as 'Draco Malfoy', for who knows how long.
'I just hope it's not too long.' Issei thought as he started missing his students and home.
"So Draco, remember your schedule for the day and be a good boy okay." His mother said as she prepared to leave for her meeting. It seemed that his new parents were not around much being quite important members of the society, shouldering a lot of duties and responsibilities, and leaving the little time for personal matters.
"Yes I will, mother." Issei replied, as he started to think about his schedule, he…had quite a lot of free time it seems. "Have a safe trip mother." Issei shouted as he saw his mother disappear in green flames from the family fireplace, the floo was quite the impressive piece of teleportation magic.
"I guess I better get ready for my magical lessons now." Issei said as he left the dining room and headed to his room to get dressed. He was looking forward to the new magical lessons and spells that he was going to be taught.
######################
The lesson, it turned out to be was more about traditions, customs and history than a lesson on magic. Sure Issei got to learn a new spell but sadly he did not learn any theory behind it.
While the lessons itself was boring, his fellow students were not.
The class consisted of only 6 students, namely, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Golye, Daphne Greengrass, Pansy Parkinson, Millicent Bulstrode and him, Draco Malfoy. It was quite the odd group of students to be honest and it seemed that there was more of a political agenda to them being taught together than anything.
Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Golye were sons of two of his father's closest friends, more like subordinates if their behaviour was anything to go by and thus it was no surprise to see them here. Pansy Parkinson and Millicent Bulstrode likewise were in the same boat due to their mothers being close to his mother.
It was Daphne Greengrass that surprised him, because as far Draco's memories were concerned her family was not too close to his father, though her presence here might have been an indication to that changing soon.
'Great, politics' Issei grumbled under his breath, Jack and Happosai's memories did not have fond things to say about the vipers pit that was the political game. At least now Issei had an excuse to put use to the etiquettes and political lessons he got from Seth.
That did not mean Issei was looking forward to making grand sweeping political maneuverers anytime soon. Not that he had it in him. After all he was no King of Hell Chu.
Now whether it was by his father's mechanism or something else, Issei was now a part of the political game of this world. 'Not only is it my first day here and I have not done anything yet. I still managed to somehow got myself entangled in a political conspiracy.' Issei grumbled. 'Not bad I must say. It was a new record at least.'
Ignoring the possible implication of mingling with his classmates, Issei simply slugged through the class nodding from time to time to the teacher's inquiries and playing dumb for the most part, though Issei saw that his behaviour was surprising his classmates and tutor, even if they chose not to say anything on the matter.
Still Issei got curious and asked Greengrass when the class was over.
"Say Ms Greengrass," Issei said as he caught up to her before she left the premise, "why were the others staring at me during the lessons?" Issei asked.
The girl seemed surprised at his sudden question as he saw her eyes widen a bit, though she seemed to have quite the control over her emotions.
"Malfoy" Daphne said quite surprised that he was asking her of all people, "why are you asking me that question?"
"Because you are the only one here since the others have already left." Issei pointed out, he was going to ask Crabbe and Golye but they seemingly disappeared from the premise 'Probably gone to visit that Candy Shop that was going to open today in Diagon Alley.' And well he did not know much about Parkinson and Bulstrode to approach them. At least with Greengrass he would be furthering their parents' agenda.
'And this is why I hate politics.'
"I can see that." Daphne deadpanned "What I don't see is your reason for approaching me, Malfoy?"
"Oh come on. Can't someone just go up and ask a simple question without being questioned about his motives." Issei said throwing his hands in the air.
"Yes they can but you are a special case Malfoy." Daphne replied evenly.
"Point." Issei said sighing at her reply. "Still can you at least tell me why everyone were staring at me like that?"
"Well…" Daphne said hesitatingly "I don't know how to say this but…umm…you were quite out of character today."
"OOC? Really that's it?" Issei said adopting a shocked expression that letting out a breath of relief he said "Well if that is the case then I guess there is nothing to worry about."
"And why that might be?" Daphne asked sceptical of his claim.
"I was worried no one would pick up on the fact that I was acting strange, since I decided to be more sincere in my behaviour." Issei said, really he did not want to act like Draco at all, he was really, really, really bad at acting after all.
"Being more sincere?" Daphne repeated, not getting what he was saying.
"Why yes, I have decided that from here on out I am going to be more sincere at expressing myself." Issei stated "You can even guess that from my behaviour today."
"You seemed bored today because you were bored?" Daphne said not believing what she was hearing.
"Yes" Issei said huffing at how boring the lessons were "I have already memorised all the etiquettes and history we are being taught. In fact I reckon I can learn more if I plundered my family library for history books."
"Choice of words aside, you sound like quite the Ravenclaw Malfoy. Didn't you say that you were no frail crow? Not to mention that you behaviour is no befitting that of a Scion of a Noble house." Daphne said, now quite interested in the change Draco was displaying.
"First of all, Ravenclaw are frail mages who do not know what to do with the knowledge they have accumulated from reading so many books." Issei said, letting Draco's bias towards the four houses sip into his words. "Secondly, no one is around for now and we are eight year old children we can afford to be childish and not act like the perfect example of a stoic noble. Not to mention that not all nobles are incarnation of stoic nobility, some prefer the more wild and chivalrous noble approach to matters, 'People's Champions' as the say."
"True, true." Daphne admitted as that was what her father was mostly perceived as, "But most people have the impression of your family as great noble politicians, Malfoy."
"Ouch, and ouch." Issei said pretending to flinch at her words "Noble Politicians? My father's efforts to become a political juggernaut are going to have to be reworked a bit if that is the reputation he has garnered." Issei replied, not quite sure what he was going to do with that information.
"Some would say otherwise Malfoy."
"Well then they are not privy to my father's mechanisation. He intends to rule Britain from the shadows and for that he needs to be more subtle and no be in the limelight much, it paints a big target on his head especially with a reputation like that of a 'Noble Politician'."
"Some might say that your father harbours treasonous thoughts Malfoy."
"Only as treasonous as your average politician nothing more, and hey it's not treason if he does not go against the ruling government. He is very patriotic in fact he only wants the betterment of all of Britain. He just intends to dictate most of the government's policies and outlast them and command the next government that comes along all without being put into the seat as the head of the government. Too much paperwork, he says." Issei shrugged laying out his father's intentions.
"Some would still question such motives and ambitions Malfoy." Daphne pointed out.
"True, but as they say 'haters going to hate.' and honestly my father is already working hard to restore the new government and keep it working without letting it collapse at the seams with his colleagues, after the destruction that a certain Dark wizard with a strange title caused years ago. He just wants to see that the government and country he help restore does not go into the same chaos as it did years ago." Now here Issei was letting Draco's bias about his father get to him but well what he said was not completely wrong. Lucius simply wanted to be become a pseudo-ruler of Britain as his reward of restoring the war torn country and nothing more. Honest!
"And look we have walked all the way to your house too." Issei said as he realised that the two of them had somehow walked to the Greengrass Manor while they were talking. "Well it was a pleasure talking to you Ms Greengrass, may you have a pleasant day." Issei said bidding her goodbye.
"Umm…Goodbye Malfoy." Daphne said as she rushed inside, feeling quite embarrassed that she had being so engrossed in her conversation with the Malfoy Scion that she ignored her surroundings.
Watching the Greengrass heiress go, Issei let out a smile.
"Now it's still High Noon, maybe I should start practicing a bit." Issei said as he made plans for the rest of the day.
################################
Groaning and laying on the ground, with his body screaming in pain and all round sour, Issei had only one thought going over his mind.
"First…off…" Issei huffed "…condition my body for the more rigorous training regimes."
Issei had forgotten to take into account his new body or more specifically Draco Malfoy's untrained body, which did not have the same conditioning as his original body to withstand the extreme rigorous activities he was used to doing every day.
"And secondly, see if I can build another Diorama Sphere and create a new training resort." Issei huffed, as pain racked his body. He was going to be extremely sour the next few days.
At least he now had some goals he could work towards. Hogwarts was still quite far off for now.
It was going be tough living as the Malfoy Scion. But Issei was going to have to endure it.
"After all I still did not get to taste the cookies that Momo made for me, not to mention try out the gloves that Tomoe had got me, play the game Aika bought and…well I am living the book series that Reya gave me, so that's that."
"I miss home." Issei said as he headed back inside with his sore body, it really was going to be hard living as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter franchise.
"I wonder what Harry is up to at this time."
#########################
"…and I thus claim Lordship of the Ancient and Noble house of Potter, Ancient and noble house of Slytherin, Ancient and Noble house of Griffindore, Ancient and Noble House of Black…"
A young boy said as he claimed Lordship of multiple Ancient and Noble houses, gaining their wealth and power and all their properties and magic, along with inheriting a lot of marriage contracts and gaining the responsibility of creating a harem so that the houses that he has claimed lordship of do not end with him.
The boy of eight years old, also somehow had a body with eight abs and a very large package to boot too, along with a powerful magical core, multiple magical items of great power and the three Deadly Hallows making him the 'Master of Death'. He was extremely well off now politically and financially too, even if he had been nobody just yesterday.
The boy was none other than Harry Potter or now as he was Harry Potter, 'The-Boy-who-Lived' and 'The-Boy-With-Too-Many-Titles-to-Name'. He really should get those titles checked out.
"And now I will exact my revenge on all those who were responsible for making me see hell." Harry laughed, making all present in the chamber smile at his charming laughter, though to be honest it was a bit evil too. But hey, evil has its charm I guess, with how so many villains keep mesmerising others with their laughter.
Well it seems that he was going to be well off now only if-
"And first I will start with the Malfoys."
-only he does not provoke the sleeping dragon.
Damn, Fates, you really hate the poor boy don't you. What did he do to your to deserve such cruel fate of facing a dragon? He was just on the path of becoming Super powerful wizard with a formidable political and financial power and had a future with a harem of sexy witches in his arm, all the while making a mockery of his enemies and humiliating them in the worst of ways, like amking them breeding stocks regardless of their gender.
Now he has to face a Broken Idiotic Dragon with bullshit powers and an expansive knowledge on bullshit magic and martial arts.
Can't you let the boy have it easy for once, huh Fates?
"NO!"
Okay, then well Potter, I wish you luck. Try not to get killed by the author's pet will you.

AN: DONE, a short one but well I wrote a chapter for this one after soooo long. I honestly had forgotten it existed until I was just reading some of the reviews on my other fics and came across this one.
And like I said in the first chapter this is a Parody and like it says on the description it follows your usual HP-FANNON Timeline with clichés. And I am not ashamed to have broken that poor 4th wall.
I simply want to see what a Mary Sue Character can do against a Broken-as-HELL Character like Issei in this fic. Quite the premise for insane hijinks and harem antics on both ends.
Leave your thoughts on the chapter and give me your reviews on the matter.
