Impossible Odds

After Dudley is kissed by a dementor the summer before his fifth year, Harry flees to diagon, certain his uncle will kill him if he's found. While there, he learns he has a magical guardian, Albus Dumbledore, who should have removed him when he asked for help escaping the Dursleys.

Between the knowledge that Dumbledore will send him back no matter how much he begs and the fact that a war is on the horizon that he knows he will be forced into, he needs a new guardian that won't force him back to the Dursleys or to fight. The only ways to achieve that would be to petition the Wizengamot where Dumbledore has control, or to sign a marriage contract already accepted by his family before Dumbledore became his guardian. The problem is, his fate is in the hands of none other than Draco Malfoy.
