When offered a choice between house arrest for two years or a short stint in Azkaban and a mandatory 8th year of schooling at Ilvermorny, Draco barely lets the Ministry official finish before he’s trying to get the hell out of England. Running from choices he deeply regrets and desperate to make something of himself that isn’t what he was, he arrives in America where the War was nothing more than a few newspaper headlines. Haunted by the ghosts of his past and the things he no longer believes, he expects to keep his head down, his heart closed, and his focus completely on his studies. What he doesn’t expect is to meet a girl that makes him feel alive for the first time in ages and a found family that makes him think that he might actually be worth saving out in the American wilderness.
