Prompt: "I'm back!"
Character(s) / Pairing(s): Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 100
Warnings: Angst
Notes: Thank you todigthewriter for the back-and-forth beta.
Summary: Restore (v.) – to return (someone or something) to a former condition, place, or position.
Read at AO3 or below the cut.
My pulse stutters at the sight of him sitting alone at the depleted Slytherin table.
He’s fresh from Azkaban; rail-thin and deathly pale, a flicker of madness in his eyes. I’d bet he even has dirt from his cell lurking beneath his fingernails.
He slips away early. Naturally, I follow.
The castle still feels like a mausoleum. My footsteps echo against flagstones which once bore bodies like mortuary slabs.
I find him at the top of the Astronomy Tower.
“You came back.”
“Yes.” He leans over the crumbling parapet, taking in the dizzying drop to the grounds below.
“I’m glad.”
