Draco Malfoy did not choose to be a Death Eater, and he certainly did not choose to be given a suicide mission to kill Dumbledore. His hand was forced, and that was no choice. The injustice of it all drove him to darkness.
Hermione Granger had no choice in becoming a witch. It was gifted to her, for whatever reason, and she rose to the occasion brilliantly. But her blood was ‘wrong’, and by sixth year, the ignorance of the society she occupied wore her down to a breaking point.
But in a world where they lacked agency in so many matters, what if they chose one another? And what would they do to protect that choice?
The Choices We Make is a canon divergent story that spans sixth year to the end of the Second Wizarding War. It explores what Draco and Hermione, and a slew of other characters, do when they take hold of their own lives, and make a choice.
