Harry's been taking care of his godson, Teddy Lupin, after the poor boy's parents' deaths, and today is his first day back at Hogwarts for his 8th year, completion of his 7th. He's been so sleep deprived and tired out from the long train ride that he dozes off in Potions while he's supposed to be taking care of the energetic toddler. He wakes up in a panic when he realizes that Teddy isn't with him, but Hermione calms him down and points across the classroom.
Draco Malfoy holds the boy in his lap, coloring all over a big piece of paper with him, using a rainbow menagerie of crayons. Teddy's laughing and playing tic-tac-toe with the blonde. Malfoy is smiling brightly, whispering something to him, making the boy giggle. The blonde looks healthier, not to mention happier.
Harry's heart swells when he sees how happy the baby and the blonde are talking together. He allows himself to nod off again and the next time he's woken up, it's by Teddy telling him all about his new friend Dray.
Malfoy was no where to be seen.
Could this be the start of something new between them?
Friendship?
Romance?
Malfoy's long-awaited redemption?
The drarry canon we all wished and longed for over 15 years?
*****Teddy was born a year earlier than in canon (1987)
