Summary
Draco Malfoy supposes he ought to be used to it by now, the way his life never moves in straight lines. Between Point A and Point B are always a dozen twists and turns he doesn't expect, despite this being more the rule than the exception. Never mind that the points aren't what he expects, either; if Point A is graduation from Hogwarts and Point B is a job at the Ministry, even straight lines from there on out would have him on a trajectory he couldn't have dreamed up if he tried.
Of course, it's not straight lines from there on out. Point C is that none other than Harry Potter specifically requests Draco's transfer from Finance in order to put him through Auror Training; Point D is that he survives said training and goes on to work not unhappily under Head Auror Potter. Point E is that Hermione Granger turns out to be Head of Auror Research, an unattached submissive, and quite willing to work closely with him in both roles.
It's Point F he's stuck on now, or rather, he is somewhere on the meandering curve between their non-public, non-exclusive, once-weekly arrangement and whatever nonsense his life will throw at him next. He's finally figured out what he wants that to be. All that's left is how to get there.
