The Family Business(AO3 CATCH UP LINK) Harry felt a chill down his spine and it was almost as if they weren't at the edge of summer, but winter instead.
"Wait. I didn't mean that."
Harry eyed Draco without moving a muscle. He wasn't going to do anything until Draco did; whether it be to let Harry in, or walk away.
"Shit, Potter. Will you say something?" Draco said when they'd been quiet for a while. Harry felt his resolve melting but stood his ground. He could act stubborn, cold, and be patient.
"I'll be shifting to Sweden before the fall."
"What?" Harry said in a shock. "Why?"
Draco shrugged. "You've got your future laid out in front of you. I've got mine. I can't continue doing nothing here and let the Malfoy name rot so I'm starting new. Edvin..." Draco pointed towards the bloke who'd just walked away, "has offered me a job at his family's estate. I know a bit about my father's collection of Dark artefacts--he wants my expertise."
Harry couldn't believe it. He would've figured it'd be hard for Draco to find work in the wizarding world but shifting away?
He felt his heart breaking and couldn't do anything to stop it.
