Summary
Draco is not a hero, nor a martyr for that matter, but he is desperate to save the only thing he has left that he loves.
Harry needs to stop thinking the war revolves around him regardless of what people tell him.English is not my first language, read the tags! I swear this is a cry for help, I really need to stop writing hurt-comfort stuff.

Summary
Draco Malfoy knew his final year at Hogwarts would be hard, but he hadn’t expected this kind of pain — sharp, physical, and constant. Returning wasn’t a choice; it was a sentence that the Ministry wrapped up in false politeness. The curse under his skin made sure of that. Every time someone mentioned the war — whether whispered in pity or shouted in anger — a searing jolt would rip through him, leaving him struggling to breathe, to stand, to seem unaffected.
Only his friends, Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, and Theodore Nott, knew the truth. They kept the secret close, sharing the weight of it silently. To everyone else, Draco Malfoy was a ghost of who he used to be… quieter, colder, with edges sharp enough to cut.
On the other hand, Harry Potter watched from afar. What puzzled him this year, however, was Theodore Nott’s newfound role as Malfoy’s constant shadow. Where Malfoy went, Nott followed, his presence protective yet suspiciously close.
Harry didn’t know what it was, but something about Malfoy felt charged, like the air before lightning strikes. It was raw. It was electric. And no matter how hard he tried, Harry couldn’t look away.

Summary
As part of his penance program after the war, Draco returns to Hogwarts to retake seventh year. The Ministry is not at all kind (why would they be), his professors seem to both loathe and pity him, he's anxious all the time, and Harry Potter will always be a thorn in his side. Even if Potter is pretty okay at tutoring. Honestly, Harry is just trying to not make things worse.
A story of PTSD, recovery, and redemption, with a touch of dark magic and curses.
