It was very hard to come back to Hogwarts after everything was said and done; Draco left the castle in the sixth years, knowing he wouldn’t come back. Now he is here, heart bleeding and alone in a world that doesn’t see him as victim of the war, but as someone that cause too much damage. No one wanted to share a train booth with him, so he slept and only woke up when someone made a haste exit when they arrived at Hogwarts. Someone did share the booth with him, but whom, Draco didn’t know.
When he reached the carriages, he could see the enormous thestrals and wanted noting more that have them without the creatures, just like they been before Dumbledore’s and many others deaths. He looks around, seeing people flocking away and finding their friends to have a trip in good company, he waits, the last carriage available will do, he sees that there are many more carriages them there students.
Hagrid gives a nudge to his shoulder when it seems he is the only one left and he hops in the first carriage without looking to the black creature or the occupants. When they start the long path to the castle, Draco looks back from where he saw the half giant leave to tend to the first years and finally look back to see with whom he is traveling.
Luna Lovegood greats him with a small smile and he remembers how she would sing in the Manor dungeons; that was the only sound that would make him believe that maybe there was hope beyond the war. The other person was a redhead man Draco was sure he already saw, he squeezed his eyes to think and gasped as he remembered the night the war ended.
**flashback**
He was away from everyone who mourned those who were long gone. Back to the wall, he kept looking up to see the shadows playing near the Slytherin dungeons. Steps sounded but he didn’t move. Someone sat by his side and touched his shoulder lightly.
“Harry asked me to find you, he wants you to come and stay at one of the Orders safe houses, he doesn’t want you to get arrested before he is well enough to plead in your mother’s name.” The man was redhead and handsome, his earring screamed dangerous but Draco found he believe it in his words.
Draco looked straight to the man’s face and saw claws marks very similar to the one in his back, if Fenrir did them too, he wouldn’t be surprised. Before he could say anything his hand flew up, caressing one of the marks and he saw the man shudder and move closer. Just one kiss, sweet press of lips and Draco never saw the man again, no until now.
*flash back ends*
“Willian Weasley,but you can call me Bill, since we already know each other. I will be the new Charms Master while Fillius recovers, if you are wondering why I’m here. I gather you had a good time with Andromeda?”
Draco realised this was Weasley’s older brother, the one his cousin Andromeda been telling had separated from his veela wife. Well, if everything was terrible around him, this seemed to brighten thinks up.
“Draco Malfoy, and I will be your student. Cousin Andromeda is a gossiper, but she didn’t mentioned you being here as a teacher, thought she did talk about you. I hoping to get acquaintance with your new status, perhaps a change to it?” Draco smirked as the man fanned himself.
“I’ll be sure to leave my office door open for any student in need.” Bill smiled at him and started talking with Lovegood.
Perhaps this year wasn’t going to be as bed as the thestrals announced.
