In the aftermath of Voldemort's death the Ministry of Magic struggles to maintain order. Kingsley Shackleboldt, Minister of Magic, is forced to instate the graduating class of Hogwarts as Aurors despite the lack of coherent education in their 7th year. In order to quell the uproar of nervous conservatives he introduces a plan. The new Aurors will work in partnerships to ensure safety.
However, there are two boys that the conservatives still don't trust. Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter. Draco for his involvement with the Dark Lord. And Harry for his past rebellions against the system of the Ministry.
The two boys find themselves forced to work together to neutralize the suspicions of the public. Then they are given a task that might test them to their breaking point. They must find Fenir Grayback and bring him back to the Ministry alive.
As the trail heats up carefully crafted facades begin to crack and Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy start to wonder if they really even know each other at all.
They've grown up together, but is it possible to become closer in their eighth year than all seven leading up to it?
