The Boy I Met On A Train

The chapter begins in the aftermath of the Second Wizarding War, with Harry Potter reflecting on the devastation and scars left behind. Although Voldemort is gone, the emotional toll and loss linger heavily. Harry is now married to Ginny Weasley, who has been his anchor since the war ended, but he struggles with feelings of unease and distraction.

At the heart of Harry's internal conflict is Draco Malfoy, who has changed profoundly since the war. No longer the arrogant rival from their Hogwarts days, Draco is now a haunted, broken figure. Harry finds himself inexplicably drawn to him, particularly after a vulnerable conversation they shared shortly after the war. Despite rebuilding emotional walls after that moment, Harry cannot stop thinking about Draco and the tension that seems to simmer between them.

As Harry becomes more distant, Ginny notices but remains patient, trusting him to work through his feelings. When Harry decides to confront Draco, their interaction becomes charged with unresolved emotions and unspoken desires.
