Summary
Draco has returned to Hogwarts oddly quiet. Witness to the chaotic last days at Malfoy manor, but unable to confide in anyone, he's slowly coming apart.
Harry has also returned for his final year, dismayed to find that in the aftermath of the battle, the castle is not only damaged, but continuing to decay.
And naturally, he's determined to find out what Draco Malfoy is hiding.

I'll meet you after, Harry had said, with that characteristic cocksure confidence that his word was all that was needed against the Ministry's witnesses, but there was no after, only the cold salt air of the North Sea and the endless beating of the waves.

Summary
Something the biographies never seemed to mention: Potter had a lazy gait. He slumped wherever he went. Walking away with wide shoulders that needed dragging toward every next horizon line, legs lagging, all of him with that heavy tendency to sink into the moment and be petulant about giving any of it up. He would linger deep enough in the present to slip into the past if he could, and he could.
He did. Almost every day, lately.
