Draco couldn’t help but chuckle at that, having quite enjoyed getting to come<span style="font-style: italic">home</span>to Harry in this way, even if he knew that it couldn’t last forever. He hadn’t realised how much he had missed having someone around until he suddenly had it, Harry having quite literally dumped into his life and simply refused to leave again.<br/>“That is exactly why,” he stated with a crooked grin, moving his hands into Harry’s hair, once again appreciating just how long it had gotten and how well it suited him.<br/>Sometimes, he did think of what they could have been had their lives turned out differently, not that it made a whole lot of sense to dwell too much on that as neither of them could chance what had already happened. Instead, Draco was intent on enjoying what he had and simply not overthink any of it.<br/>“I’ve purposefully been keeping you weak so I get to keep you around.”
