Harry Potter and the Princess of Slytherin, a Malfoid Musical
"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy"
-William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet (Act 1, Scene 5, lines 167–168)
"The young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat." -William Faulkner
"The very essence of romance is uncertainty" -Oscar Wilde
This is a simple work, marking the best of the music, currently telling the Malfoid internet story. This has been more complicated than at first glance, as telling it out of sequence kills the Shakespearean drama unleashed by the best narratives of this concept.
ADayASMR has some of the best story beats told as an anime opening for each book as a season, these are listed to start to add a sense of order. Zandran has some of the best characterization music of multiple characters I've found, which adds a lot to the tragic romance the story tells when one central character is changed. Many other artists had inspired moments of genius as well.
That said, in defense of J. K. Rowling, it's a bit unfair to expect a high concept author to do a really good romance. George Lucas did the high concept Star Wars, but his own characters tended to lack romantic dialogue to the point of being called wooden when lacking Harrison Ford's ad lib. I don't find John Ronald Reuel Tolkien's high concept work to be romantic either.
Keep in mind that William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was largely based on a 1562 poem of Arthur Brooke, "The Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Juliet". Like that, the internet has rewoven a high concept piece of fiction into a Shakespearean style Romance by recasting Draco Malfoy as a girl. This makes a lot of narrative sense in that Rowling has said the character was based on bullying she had received from other girls.
This is a character change that makes an "enemies to lovers" addition to the narrative work. It's a stronger story than the work's focus on Ginny Weasley by most posted opinions. It turns the book into the largest franchise redemptive arc, since Darth Vader in Star Wars. It also turns the end of the series into the original theme that "love conquers all".
Within a few weeks, the fandom through the new versions of AI had produced enough musical content to create a literal musical out of the seven books. I'll post the songs in order with the lyrics when given. I'll add the playlist at the end when this is finished.
To quote google AI, "There are roughly 30 to 50 songs in Les Misérables, depending on how the sung-through musical is divided. Official stage librettos group them into about 30 major musical sequences, while complete recordings and pit books break them down into 44 to 49 distinct tracks and movements."
This piece is 49 works. It's of the same relative body size as a dramatic music work, without stage direction and a theatre.
This kind of art is more important than it seems. Governments and bad actors have used plays and media to attempt to control mass opinion for thousands of years. The Ancient Romans used plays to try and sway the opinions of the populace or control morality. King Henry VIII used plays to sell his brand of Protestantism. No one living through the past century can't see how the first world was affected by such.
AI has equaled the playing field. The control of messaging grows weaker with each passing day. People have found a new way to create and share ideas without being herded like brain dead cattle.
In the sung words of the musical Les Misérables above and the Les Misérables video directly below, the message is simple. Despite the efforts of some of the most powerful megalomaniacs to walk the earth, Freedom of expression is returning...

MALFOID — The Internet's New Obsession AMV
Lyrics
[INTRO]
Yeah...
You thought Draco was trouble before?
You ain't ready for Malfoid.Platinum hair, green tie,
That little smirk says, “Who are you to try?”
Walks in late like she owns the hall,
Slytherin queen, now she's ruling it all.[VERSE 1]
She stepped out of the fan-art screen,
Looking like a nightmare dressed in green,
Same cold stare, same attitude,
But somehow now she's got the whole net screwed.Harry walks by—she rolls her eyes,
“Potter, honestly, you're such a surprise.”
Hermione says, “Don't start this again,”
Malfoid just smiles like, “Oh, this is gonna be fun.”Silver-blonde, with a poisonous grin,
Walks through the castle like she already wins,
Every post, every meme, every timeline flood,
The internet's screaming, “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?”[PRE-CHORUS]
One little drawing, one little post,
Now she's haunting every screen like a ghost,
From X to Reddit, watch the madness unfold,
Slytherin's newest legend just took control.[CHORUS]
MALFOID!She's got the whole internet losing their minds,
MALFOID!
Draco got a gender swap and suddenly—
WOW!Platinum hair and a Slytherin smile,
Bratty little queen with that villainous style,
Everybody's talking, everybody's annoyed—
You can't escape her now...MAL-FOID!
[VERSE 2]
“Potter, Potter, Potter”—give it a rest,
She's got that superiority complex at its best,
Pouting in the hallway, throwing shade at the crew,
Like Draco never left—he just came back brand new.Hermione's staring like, “Seriously, girl?”
Malfoid's like, “Welcome to my world.”
Great Hall drama, potions class fights,
Every new drawing's going viral overnight.Nobody planned it, nobody knows why,
But suddenly she's everywhere online,
One meme became ten, then a thousand more,
Now Malfoid's knocking on the fandom door.[PRE-CHORUS]
One little drawing, one little post,
Now she's haunting every screen like a ghost,
From X to Reddit, watch the madness unfold,
Slytherin's newest legend just took control.[CHORUS]
MALFOID!She's got the whole internet losing their minds,
MALFOID!
Draco got a gender swap and suddenly—
WOW!Platinum hair and a Slytherin smile,
Bratty little queen with that villainous style,
Everybody's talking, everybody's annoyed—
You can't escape her now...MAL-FOID!
[BRIDGE — HALF-TIME]
Wait...
Who let her into the timeline?Who gave her Wi-Fi?
Who gave her a fandom?
Who gave her a thousand fan artists?!Oh no.
She's back.
MALFOID!
Green and silver, stepping through the smoke,
One raised eyebrow and the whole room broke,
She doesn't need a wand to cause a scene,
She's got the internet fighting over what she's seen.
Scroll—
There she is.
Scroll—
Another post.
Scroll—
Another meme.
Now she's living in your head rent-free.Draco?
Nope.
Malfoid.
New name.
Same ego.
New game.Harry gets roasted,
Hermione gets mad,
Slytherin's queen with the worst attitude you've had.Fan art flying, timelines exploding,
Every five minutes there's another one loading,
You thought the trend would die?
That's cute.She's just getting started.
[FINAL CHORUS]
MALFOID!
She's got the whole internet losing their minds,
MALFOID!
Silver hair shining underneath neon lights!Slytherin swagger, villainous poise,
Turning Draco's attitude into everybody's noise,
From one little meme to the internet's choice—MALFOID!
MALFOID!
MAL-FOID!
[OUTRO]
Draco?
Who?Potter...
You really thought this was over?
MALFOID.
@haunt2003-com Now that I think about it, Malfoy should've been a girl from the start..
Call me crazy but his character trope feels like it fits being a female more lol

LYRICS — Potter Bullies Girls!
[Intro]
Professor! Professor![Verse 1]
Pulled his essay — half a page,
Moved my folder? What an outrage!
Spilled my bag across the floor —
Perfect. Now I'll cry some more.[Chorus]
Potter bullies girls! (Bullies girls!)
Tell the teachers, tell the world!
Big bad Potter, look at me —
Poor little innocent me![Verse 2]
Mop and bucket, corridor,
Just a little broomstick war.
"I was cleaning — he attacked!"
Ten from Gryffindor. That's a fact.[Chorus]
Potter bullies girls! (Bullies girls!)
Tell the teachers, tell the world!
Big bad Potter, look at me —
Poor little innocent me![Verse 3]
Sleeve got stuck, we hit the stair,
Potter's elbow, Potter's hair —
"Get OFF me, Potter!" — down we go,
Teacher's coming. Perfect show.[Chorus]
Potter bullies girls! (Bullies girls!)
Tell the teachers, tell the world!
Big bad Potter, look at me —
Poor little innocent me!
"Potter! Fighting girls as well?!"
...Exactly.[Final Chorus]
Potter bullies girls! (Bullies girls!)
Tell the teachers, tell the world!
Big bad Potter, look at me —
Poor little innocent me![Outro]
Sniff. ...Works every time.
LYRICS
[Intro]
Oh. It's you again.[Verse 1]
Platinum hair and a marble stare
Velvet robes, I was born up there
Old gold name on a portrait wall
I was royal before I could crawl
You walk in like the hallways know you
Lightning mark like the whole world owes you
Scuffed-up shoes and a hand-me-down crew
Funny how they all stare at you[Pre-Chorus]
Roll my eyes, but I watch you go
Hate the way you steal the show
Tell me why I'm always near
Every time you disappear[Chorus]
Silver and green, I'm a serpent queen
Meanest girl that you've ever seen
Pure blood, bad attitude
Everything I do is a little rude to you
Ha-ha, cry about it
Daddy's gonna hear about it
Say you hate me, say it twice
Born to be cruel, too pretty to be nice[Verse 2]
Front-row seat when you trip and fall
Laughing loud so you hear it all
Pin on my robe says I'm better than you
Glitter and spite, so you know it's true
Bet you think about a girl like me
Ice in my veins and a family tree
Older than your little legend
Sharper than your best intention[Pre-Chorus]
Roll my eyes, but I watch you go
Hate the way you steal the show
Tell me why I'm always near
Every time you disappear[Chorus]
Silver and green, I'm a serpent queen
Meanest girl that you've ever seen
Pure blood, bad attitude
Everything I do is a little rude to you
Ha-ha, cry about it
Daddy's gonna hear about it
Say you hate me, say it twice
Born to be cruel, too pretty to be nice[Bridge]
And if I'm honest...
No. Forget it.
Just a dream I won't admit
Snakes don't fall for lions
...Do they?[Final Chorus]
Silver and green, I'm a serpent queen
Meanest girl that you've ever seen
Pure blood, bad attitude
Everything I do is a little rude to you
Ha-ha, cry about it
Daddy's gonna hear about it
Say you hate me, say it twice
Born to be cruel, too pretty to be nice[Outro]
Don't look at me like that.
...Idiot.
LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Platinum hair at the end of the hall
Smirking like you planned it all
Everybody says I'm obsessed
I say I'm just keeping track of the rest
Map unfolded at two a.m.
Your little dot by the Room again
My best friend says "just let it go"
But he doesn't see the things I know[Pre-Chorus]
You roll your eyes, I roll mine back
Green and silver, red and gold
Every glare's a dare I can't refuse[Chorus]
You're up to something!
I know you're up to something!
The way you say my name like it's a curse
Then look back first
You're up to something!
Don't tell me it's nothing!
Cause I can't sleep, I can't think, I can't breathe
Till I find out what you're hiding from me[Verse 2]
Seeker's chase in the freezing air
You reach for the Snitch, I'm already there
You crash the landing, call it unfair
"My father will hear about this," yeah, yeah
Sharp little sneer and a pointed shoe
Spitting my surname like it's something new
But you kept me on your lips all year
Funny how you're always near[Pre-Chorus]
You roll your eyes, I roll mine back
Stars in the sky, ink on the map
Every fight's a dance I'd never lose[Chorus]
You're up to something!
I know you're up to something!
The way you say my name like it's a curse
Then look back first
You're up to something!
Don't tell me it's nothing!
Cause I can't sleep, I can't think, I can't breathe
Till I find out what you're hiding from me[Bridge]
Maybe I'm the one who's lying
Maybe that's why I keep trying
Maybe all the time I spent
Chasing your shadow wasn't about the rivalry
Maybe it was more...
Hey... what are you up to?[Final Chorus]
You're up to something!
And I'm up to something too!
The way you say my name like it's a curse
Then look back first
Yeah, you're up to something!
Don't tell me it's nothing!
Cause I can't sleep, I can't think, I can't breathe
Unless you're scheming right next to me[Outro]
Mischief managed...
(Not yet.)
