    Summary

    Eight years after the war, Harry is an auror, and he is a drunk. An ordinary stop at Malfoy Manor, to dismiss Draco from his probation, reveals a disturbing secret: Draco has obliviated himself, and he has no memory of who he is.

    Harry becomes determined to fix him, and together they help untangle each other from their shared web of trauma and grief.

     
    “It was his birthday yesterday. I got him a pair of Gouldian finches—he was so excited. You know, he used to hate birds? The peacocks terrified him when he was small.” Narcissa sniffled and turned back to Harry. “Twenty-six years old … and he can’t be left alone for ten minutes.”

    “What happened to him?”

    Narcissa took a sip of her tea; she pursed her lips and blew on the cup’s steaming surface.

    “Draco tried to obliviate himself, Harry—last year on Christmas.”
