Summary
An ultra slow burn Drarry that begins with a Fifth-Year retelling and continues through the final battle at Hogwarts.
Harry begins to distrust Dumbledore after the events of his fourth year, turning to an unlikely source for knowledge and information. The Occupation of Malfoy Manor by Voldemort leads Draco down a path that diverges significantly from the rest of his family. Harry being made a Prefect sets in motion a large rift in the Golden Trio, ultimately resulting in irreparable damage. Harry learns what real friendship is and who he can trust while making several self-discoveries along his journey to rid the Wizarding World of Voldemort for good.
There are several plot points from the original source material that remain unchanged and are therefore only referenced and implied. While I don't care for the author's personal views, I enjoy her writing and will not be re-writing anything that happens as they appeared in the books. This fic is long enough as it is! There will be author notes for any chapter that includes or alludes to these scenes.
Please make note of the canonical character death tag and remember what happens in Order of the Phoenix.

Summary
Harry stared at the newspaper still spread out in front of him. Malfoy looked like he’d been caught trying to duck away from whoever had snapped the photograph. His shoulders were hunched in his suit jacket, his eyes darted, and he kept shuffling a step behind Narcissa. "Innocent," the headline on this page proclaimed, as the article went on to explain that in contrast to his father, the Malfoy scion had managed to secure himself a walk of freedom. Harry snorted. Malfoy could make a show of looking wan and frightened all he liked; beneath his perfectly pressed shirt sleeve there was a Dark Mark. There was nothing innocent about that.
