Harry was returning to Hogwarts alone, Hermione being recognised as a crucial player in the Ministry's efforts of returning the wizarding world to its former Glory. Ron, feeling like Hogwarts held to many soured memories to ever be a home again. When Harry manages to involve himself with dark people with darker intentions the last remaining façade of normality slips away. Without his two closest friends to aid him on a journey of recovery, it seems like the next best answer will be with the reformed Malfoy. And of Harry is being perfectly honest he doesn't bloody care. -DISCLAIMER- I do not own any of the original characters from the Harry Potter franchise, Book or Movie. They are property of J.K.Rowling. There is a range of characters which are my own imaginative works, as well for the basic plot, however, I do not claim to be the exclusive owner of the plot, nor do I endorse being swayed from using this or any similar work as inspiration.

When Harry returns to Hogwarts after the battle, everything has changed. Houses have been abolished and relationships have ended. Mandatory therapy is required alongside their normal classes. Everyone has changed... including Draco Malfoy. Once arrogant and haughty, he's now a shell of his former self. If anyone can get through to him it's Harry, who feels more alone than ever. But does he want to? I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER OR ANY CHARACTERS IN THIS STORY.
