Warm flames from the candle chandelier cast subtle shadows on the brick walls and hardwood floor of the eighth-year common room. Harry perched on the couch facing the mantel, the gentle flickering sparks beneath it painting Draco's hair in crimson hues.

Draco looked up then, and Harry flushed. He darted his eyes to the chessboard between Draco and Ron, both seated on the floor in front of the fireplace. Harry looked back at Draco mere seconds later to find him smiling.

Draco leaned against Harry's couch and rested his head on the side of Harry's knee. Harry dropped his hand into Draco's hair, his calloused fingers running through long, silky strands.

Severus watched the rise and fall of Harry's chest, as Harry slept in his bed. That this amazing young man was at his side was humbling.

"Y're staring agin..." Harry mumbled. "Sleep."

Severus gathered him close and Harry cuddled against him.

Severus closed his eyes.

Everything’s been darker ever since. More shadows, more monsters. Only nightmares, no sleep. It’s been harder not to give in — impossible almost. ‘The Harpies won again,’ Kingsley notes triumphantly over his morning coffee, handing him The Prophet. Small talk. Shared breakfasts. Routine. Anchoring him. Kingsley — keeping him from drifting away.

Draco shivered, drenched after the sudden downpour which had taken everyone by surprise. “So much for our perfect wedding,” he grumbled, watching dark clouds race across the sky. “I don’t know,” Harry answered, his matching robes saturated and clinging to his body. “Married you, didn’t I? Seems perfect to me.”

“This thing is legally dubious and therefore technically unenforceable.” Is not a “useless liberal gotcha” it’s how legalism works in this country. Tying up stupidly worded EOs in court is the quickest way to keep them from being implemented. It is the definition of “doing something.” But it doesn’t usually involve much tweeting so of course a certain type of leftist feels obligated to mock it.
