   Summary

   Ten years after the war ended and Lucius Malfoy is finally released from Azkaban to participate in a re-acclimation program for former Death Eaters. Much to his annoyance, the auror chosen to watch him for the year is none other than Harry Potter. Harry is equally displeased with this arrangement but Ministry decisions are Ministry decisions. They head into the year as forced flat mates with resignation and a mindset of trying to not kill each other by the end of it.

   But this is Harry Potter and Lucius Malfoy - both attract trouble like moths to a flame - and they soon find themselves wrapped up in a series of mysterious burglaries, Ministry politics, disappearances, and arcane ritual magic. What could possibly go wrong?
