Everyone knew that Draco Lucius Malfoy was an evil prick who was raised to serve the dark lord. What people didn't know, is that inside, Draco was caring and kind- and forced into a legacy that he never wanted.

The survivors of the Second Wizarding War return to Hogwarts after a summer of rebuilding and healing. Harry had been offered a position for Auror Training, which he quickly declined in favor of one final year with his friends at Hogwarts. He hoped that the year would bring nothing but normalcy and quiet as he begins to move on. Draco had been pardoned after Harry Potter testified in his and his mother's defense during the Trials. He had been released from Azkaban on the condition that he return to Hogwarts and complete his final year. It would serve as part of his probation. With his father awaiting the Kiss and his mother a permanent prisoner in their own home, Draco struggles to find himself as he picks up the pieces of his life. This chronicles their Eighth and Final Year at Hogwarts. *I don't own Harry Potter. All rights belong to JK Rowling. This is a fan-fiction.

Harry Potter was tired, and he was afraid. Voldemort's crimson eyes met emerald, and a fission of understanding flared between the two. Both were orphans, both half-bloods. Both came to Hogwarts looking for a family and a place to call home but all they received were admirers and those who only teased and scoffed at them. Now that they were bound to each other - in more ways than one - they would be unstoppable. The alleged hero and villain stepped through together, standing together in darkness as equals. And so it began. ------ UPDATE (9/20/2020): This story transferred ownership so that it can continue. Updates will be sporadic, but this story has not been abandoned.

19 years ago, something happened between Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy - but the only one who remembers is Draco himself. He plans to carry the secret to his grave, but his careful plan is soon turned on its head. It's bad enough that Draco is returning to Hogwarts as a professor, so soon after his divorce, even worse that his son Scorpius has befriended fellow first-year, Albus Potter. But when he realizes that Harry Potter, too, has returned to Hogwarts, newly-single, Draco fears for his sanity. Meanwhile, first-years Albus and Scorpius navigate friendship, classes, and getting their idiot fathers together. They are joined by their mothers, Astoria and Ginny, retiring professor Minerva McGonagall, newly-minted professor Teddy Lupin, Headmaster Neville Longbottom, Blaise Zabini, Lawyers Pansy Parkinson and Hermione Granger, a handful of scheming first-years, and the inimitable Luna Lovegood. *mostly* epilogue compliant -Inspired by: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2CGQLVRN-A. -Hogwarts Calendar on my tumblr at http://whimsicaldragonette.tumblr.com/19years -Appendices added with spells and calendar.
