Zayn feels numb. There's a low pulse of desperation in his fingertips, like he's trying to catch smoke with his bare hands, keep it close to him. He tries to imagine a lifetime without tangling his hands in Mack's curls or being held by Liam, strong hands wrapped around him from behind and can't.

Or: it's been about five years since zayn stumbled into liam and mack and the rest of his family, and a whole lot has changed since then. sequel to take this sinking boat and point it home

Hagrid adventure danger mystery Angst slowburn humor funny post-war violence swearing

The last place Draco Malfoy thought he'd end up in after the war was Hogwarts, as their 'Eighth Year' Head Boy, working together with none other than the bane of his academic existence, Mudblood Granger. But petty school rivalries and archaic prejudices are hastily buried along with the hatchet when an old, powerful magic is awakened within the school. Of course, what with one third of the Troublesome Trio now in his life, Draco finds himself right in the heart of the danger- except this time he has a scarily powerful witch by his side... and his father will definitely not be hearing anything about it.
