Summary
Draco never asked to survive the war. It wasn't part of his plan to have to continue going afterwards, through the trials and the repercussions and having to go back to Hogwarts despite nobody wanting him there. What's the point of it anyway, when the wizarding world will never again respect him? Death would have been more agreeable.
Then Harry shows up with a badly sewn heart. Then he shows up with an extra essay. Somehow, he forces himself into Draco's life, and then forces the rest of his friend group into Draco's life, and maybe living can feel a lot less like one long stretch of waiting for nothing.
Finally feeling the calm after the storm comes with its own set of issues, though. Namely having to deal with the feelings he's not meant to deal with.
