Summary
He would look at this child every day and remember that Harry had chosen the Weasleys first. That when it mattered, when the choice was laid bare, Harry had walked away. This child would be a living reminder that Draco Malfoy had not been enough, had not been worth fighting for.
And what would he tell the child? Your father loved me, but not enough. Your father chose his loyalty to another family over building one with me.
No.
The certainty settled over him like a cloak. He would not do this. He would not bind himself to Harry Potter through a child, would not spend the next eighteen years co-parenting with a man who had rejected him. Would not watch Harry play happy families with the Weasleys while treating Draco as an obligation, a responsibility, a mistake to be managed.
He deserved better than that.

Summary
The Hermione's Time-Turner—the experimental one, the one that shouldn't exist, the one that had been locked away in the Department of Mysteries—had given him this. One chance. One moment to unmake the worst choice of his life.
He'd seen it all. The abortion. Draco's devastation. The year of frozen grief. Alexander Thornwood. The life that should have been his, given to someone else because Harry had been too much of a coward to choose.
Not this time.
