    Summary

    Harry still remembers the first time the dream came to him, prowling like a tiger through a haze of fog. He remembers him, so bizarrely out of place that his mind would never let the vision slip from its grasp.

    There stood Draco Malfoy, edges blurred like drawn in oil pastel, perhaps indistinct had the viewer not been Harry.

    (Footnote— In this light, Harry understood why Draco was named after the stars.)

    But what Harry will always remember as if it were real was the way he could see Malfoy's lip tremble even from so far away. He stared through Harry, eyes flitting around like no one was there at all, face twisted with fear. His mouth moved and two syllables had fallen on deaf ears. Harry remembered stepping forward to listen closer.

    Right before Malfoy turned and stepped off the ledge, vanishing into darkness.

    Draco Malfoy is sick of being used as a plaything by the Dark Lord. He is sick of getting his hands soaked in Muggle blood, all in the name of becoming a better weapon for the Dark.

    He knows he is being punished for his failure, and he would have taken it, too.

    That is, until his mother’s life is put on the line.

    That’s just unacceptable.

    Summary

    At first Harry wonders if they’ve managed to destroy his vaults and are trying to tell him in the most oblique way possible. But when he turns the page he realises they’ve found a vault. A vault in the name of Lily and James Potter.

    The parchment trembles a little in Harry’s hand. He takes another gulp of wine.

    Harry Potter left Britain after the war and didn’t look back. Ten years later, when Gringotts discovers a vault containing his parents’ belongings—including their badly spell-damaged wedding rings—he’s forced to face up to friends and family who’ve grown in ways he could never imagine, a wizarding London rebuilt beyond his expectations, and the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s the entirely unforeseen problem of Draco Malfoy.

    Featuring pureblood wizarding traditions, ancestral magic, open mic nights, marriage equality, a diner in Brooklyn, and the return of Fleamont Potter.
