Summary
Find your happy ending. The whole idea was ludicrous. His life consisted of loneliness, poverty and Master Potioneer Phillips’s petty tyrannies. Draco was grateful he wasn’t readying himself for prison, but the next fourteen years would be a long sentence nevertheless.
When Draco is sentenced to a probation term of fourteen years, his future looks grim. Not only does he have to surrender his passport, but he is forbidden from having any contact with his beloved Mum. He lives in scruffy rooms on Knockturn Alley, works long hours as an Apothecary Apprentice and doesn’t feel like he has much of a future.
Everything changes on the third of December, 1999. That evening Harry Potter sits beside Draco in the Thestral Tavern, returns his wand and asks to take his photograph with a Muggle Polaroid camera.

Summary
The ceiling doesn't hold any answers, but there are cobwebs scattered across the corners with shadows tangled in their threads. The rug against his back is rough and scratchy, threadbare and devoid of colours other than various shades of brown. Harry takes it all in, absorbs the dingy and depressed state of his home. There's a pointed moment of decision, a note about to be played, a silence about to end, and then he rolls to his feet and sets to cleaning.
It's the first constructive thing he's done in years.

Summary
The muscles and the aftershave and the scars may be new, the break in his nose and the grey at his temples, but he still tastes the same behind Aaron’s teeth, the swipe of his tongue enough to make toes curl and blood boil.
Aaron’s always understood why level-headed people go to ruin over Robert Sugden. They can blame it on him all they want — his manipulation, his lies, his games — but when push comes to shove it’s because being in Robert’s orbit feels like circling the sun; Icarus with a burning wish and the bruises on his knees to prove it.
[Or: Affair Era 2.0]
