After the war, Draco finds the time to sit back and think things over. For the first time in his life, he realised that maybe his father isn't the idol he once thought he was. He needed an escape, and he finally found it. He spent hours of his day staring into the Mirror of Erised, contemplating what could have been, but the odd mirror was then taken from him by an unlikely saviour. But even without the device, he often finds himself zoning out and thinking of what he saw, of WHO he saw, of what their past could've been and what their future may hold...
    
    Suffering from survivors guilt and PTSD, the boy feels like no-one could understand him. Who would have any sympathy for a death eater, afterall?
    
    None other than Harry James Potter, that's who. But is it really so unexpected afterall?
