Summary: The breeze signals his freedom.


A light breeze ruffled Draco’s fringe. Tilting his head back towards the sun, he took a deep breath and let it out. Then another. His eyes slid shut. His arms spread wide. The breeze rose around him; caressing, soft.

Acquitted.

A small smile touched his lips.

Released without charge.

His breath huffed out again, his lungs aching from the deep breaths. The air was so sweet, tinted with the springtime flowers in the Manor grounds. His smile widened.

You are free to go, Mr. Malfoy.

The breeze blew and he filled his lungs again. He was safe. He was free.

This is gorgeous!!!

It's the perfect use for the prompt. I can practically feel the breeze on my skin and smell the flowers.

I adore your use of italics, too. It's incredibly effective.

Thank you so much! I've actually been trying to force myself to try to stick to word limits, so having comms like this is always useful! I just loved the prompt, for Draco in particular.

I'm so happy you liked it! :)

I love a "no charges" scene for Draco, no matter how long or short, and this was just delightful.
