This isn't the first time Rowling has done this. She has a history of releasing short stories and expansions of the cannon to the giant fan site, some of which have also been available to the general public.
If you're looking to read this new story, a tale that focuses on one Draco Malfoy, unless you are a member of the Pottermore community, you won't be able to access it. The story is hidden somewhere in the Order of the Pheonix on the site and you'll have to play through the book to find it. Of course, if you are already an active member, chances are you'll be able to skip right to it.

In order to access the new story (as well as past submissions) you'll have to "play" through the Harry Potter story.
