Summary
After the war, the Ministry places surviving Death Eaters under house arrest with someone from the opposing side to encourage rehabilitation. Draco Malfoy is sent to live with Harry Potter at Grimmauld Place, a decision neither man wanted. Initially filled with tension and distrust, their forced cohabitation gradually shifts as they confront their pasts and the consequences of their actions. Draco begins to shed his arrogant, entitled persona and wrestles with guilt over his family’s role in the war, while Harry, though still wary, begins to see Draco’s remorse. Slowly, they come to an unspoken understanding—not as friends, but as two people trying to move forward from the wreckage of the past.
