H/D, dark (sorry!)

[bree_black]

Since the war ended, Draco has learned to appreciate the simplest of spells.

He uses lumos every night he sleeps alone, sweeping his wand through the darkness to banish the shadows and phantom screams that have haunted him for years.

Obliviate serves much the same purpose, though it wipes the shadows out of his mind instead of out of his bedroom. Harry disapproves, of course, but aurors travel a great deal, and Draco can't tolerate the memories when he's alone.

Reparo and scourgify are helpful, too. When Draco has his fits he breaks things sometimes, and Draco is sure to clean up the mess before Harry gets home.

When the memories and the nightmares threaten to swallow Draco whole, he unbuttons his shirt with shaking hands and traces his fingers up and down the jagged, raised scar that runs down his torso. It's a brutal, bittersweet reminder that Draco is real, that Harry is real and that their life, their choice, is something hard-won. It's a reminder of who Draco once was - and who he is now - and it steadies his mind. Draco's favourite spell isn't simple at all; Draco's favourite spell is sectumsempra.

Great! Don't worry that it's dark? This is *Draco Malfoy*, not a fluffy bunny.
