Every major fanfic site has its own little ecosystem for AUs. Archive of Our Own is the most comprehensive by far—just filter by Alternate Universe under the 'tags' section for Draco Malfoy characters. You can get super granular, too: Hogwarts AU, Muggle AU, Coffee Shop AU, the works. Tumblr is weirdly great for niche AU prompts and shorter drabbles; writers will tag things like 'slytherindrarry au' or 'vampire draco au' and you can fall down a rabbit hole for hours.
I find Wattpad's search less reliable, but if you stumble on a good Draco writer there, they often have a whole series of AU one-shots. The key is knowing what flavor of alternate universe you want. Are you after a complete world rebuild, like a Regency romance or a pirate adventure, or just a tweak, like Draco being raised by Sirius Black? The tags reflect that.
Honestly, half my favorite Draco-in-an-AU finds have been from people reccing stuff on r/drarry or specific Discord servers. The community is the best curator.
My immediate thought is AO3, but honestly, I've had more luck on specific LiveJournal communities that are still archived, like 'dracoslash' or 'theslyths.' A lot of those older, masterpiece-level AU fics—like 'Turn' by SarasGirl or 'Eclipse' by Mijan—got their start there. The search is clunky now, but Google 'Draco Malfoy AU fanfiction LiveJournal' and you'll dig up some absolute gold that hasn't migrated.
FF.net can be surprisingly decent if you use their community filters, but you have to wade through more non-AU stuff. I sort by favorites within the Draco Malfoy category and just read summaries carefully. Sometimes the best AUs aren't even tagged as such; they're just so off-canon the premise makes it obvious.
For me, it's all about the tags. Search 'AU' plus Draco on AO3, but then also try 'canon divergence' or 'what if' scenarios. The really creative ones often have specific tags like 'Draco Malfoy Leaves the Wizarding World' or 'Politician Draco Malfoy' that lead to whole new story worlds.

The best hub I've found for AU Draco fics is definitely Archive of Our Own. The tagging system there is absolutely insane in the best way—you can filter for 'Alternate Universe - No Magic' or 'Muggle AU' or 'Coffee Shop AU' and just go down the rabbit hole. People get so creative; I've read everything from Draco as a disgraced Olympic figure skater to him running a pretentious art gallery. It feels like every possible permutation of Draco Malfoy's soul exists on there somewhere.
That said, I've also had luck on FanFiction.net, though the search function is, uh, a little more manual. The stories tend to be older there, so you'll find a lot of classic tropes from the mid-2000s—Draco as a vampire, Draco as a Veela, those sorts of things. It has a certain nostalgic charm, and sometimes the longer-running stories that predate AO3 are absolute masterpieces of the genre.
Honestly, your absolute best bet for that specific craving is Archive of Our Own. Their tagging and filtering system is a godsend when you're hunting for something as particular as Draco-centric Hogwarts AUs. You can literally filter for the 'Alternate Universe - Hogwarts' tag, then sort by kudos or word count, and most authors tag if Draco's the main character. I found this fantastic series last month where Draco gets sorted into Gryffindor instead, and it completely reimagines his dynamic with Harry from day one—total character study gold. The writing quality can be hit or miss, but that's where sorting by kudos really helps.
Don't overlook the 'Draco Malfoy & the Slytherin Gang' or 'Draco Malfoy Has a Heart of Gold' tags either; those often lead to the really good Hogwarts-era rewrites. Sometimes the best ones aren't even marked as AU-Hogwarts explicitly, they're just long-form canon rewrites from Draco's perspective. AO3's collections feature is also clutch—search for 'Draco Malfoy Centric' collections, users curate them.
