Author's Notes: Okay so I have a whole background story for this image (but feel free to come up with your own!): Postwar, mythical year 8, and the students are back at Hogwarts. Headmaster McGonagall has decided to allow after-school activites groups as a way of increasing inter-house co-operation. Hermione, being Hermione, decides that this would be a perfect way to help out the poor students who are children of Death Eaters (or who were Death Eaters themselves) and have been in social isolation since the term started. She decides to cleverly hide what her agenda truly is, and focuses on attempting to appeal to their practical nature. Since many of them have become emancipated from their Death-Eater parents (that is to say, they are now legally adults under the eyes of the law because their parents are in Azkaban and can't take care of them, and they are close enough to adult age to take on the responsibility of their own care), she calls her club the Afterschool Resource Society for Emancipated Students. Ron is totally horrified and refuses to participate, but Hermione literally drags him to the meeting because she thinks it would be good for him to challenge his prejudices.
Meanwhile Harry is secretly thrilled because he and Draco have been secretly dating for a couple of months now, and Harry thinks this new club would be a perfect way for his friends and his boyfriend to interact in a 'safe' way, and then they could all become friends (or at least less hostile) and when he finally comes out and tells his friends he is dating Draco, it won't be such a shock. Draco thinks Harry's plan is terrible, but is amused at the idea of the Weasel being forced to 'help' him, and so agrees to come. Harry is just grateful that Draco didn't ask him the group's name.
Harry and Draco had a make-out session before the first club meeting, and Draco forgot his tie (it's in Harry's back pocket).
