    Summary

    Hermione doesn’t think it’s quite fair that he’s in Azkaban. Yes he was a deatheater, but he was a child solider. Weren’t they all? When the opportunity comes to possibly reduce his sentence, she tries all she can. But it’s a two way system and Draco was never the most compliant.
    Letters to him, from her, anonymously. He can’t know it’s her. Hermione just wants to help; he just needed to let her.

    Summary

    They Shook Hands tells the overplot of the Harry Potter series using the Slytherin characters. I couldn’t find the sort of story I wanted to read. I still haven’t found anything that comes close. Canon events still happen, just not in the same manner. I do not introduce wildly out of place elements to the plot. I don’t suddenly send the plot spiralling off into strange new directions. There will be no new systems of magic, mages, elementals, Lordships, harems, or Tolkien elves. I have tried to write a realistic, canonesque story. My characters are not Junior Death Eaters. Every canon incident of their bad behaviour is present here. They are bullies. They are mean. But they’re not evil.
    The functional POD is that the Malfoys have a child before Draco, and their development is slightly different. By the time Draco meets Harry, he's realised the value of friendship and is more open of a person. The POD for Harry is when he meets Draco in Madam Malkin's. In TSH, unlike canon, he introduces himself to Draco. They shake hands and decide to be friends. The story is distinct from other Harry-in-Slytherin fics because it doesn't turn on Harry being sorted to Slytherin but rather on Harry becoming friends with Draco.
