“Perhaps that article, should it happen, could become a springboard—”
“No, Mother,” Draco said with all the firmness he could muster. “That is not a course of action either of us is going to pursue.”
“Neither you nor Harry?”
“Neither I nor you,” Draco asserted, grammar be damned. “Things between Harry and I have been going remarkably smoothly; and I attribute that to patience, and wise choices on both his and my behalf. When I consider our history…” Draco couldn’t help but pause here, overwhelmed by the weight both of what could have been, and what really had occurred.

After Draco spooled out a foolishly long pause, Mother patted his hand. “I suppose I understand,” she finally allowed. “Times have changed very rapidly, just in my lifetime.”
“The timeline is far narrower, Mum. We both have a new world to adjust to. But really, as you and Harry both keep telling me, we are experiencing a smoother path than I anticipated.”
Mother nodded. Draco exhaled slowly, relieved. “So you won’t push?”
“I cannot promise never to push,” Mother said honestly. “But I do understand your point of view, and promise to take it into consideration. Now. You go brew.”
