Draco was still wondering what to do, and Teddy’s misery was starting to feel permanent, when Draco heard the Floo activate in a nearby room. He stilled like a rabbit under a kestrel. Who could it be? Might they be dangerous? Should he hide? Call out a friendly greeting? Draw his wand?
Where the hell was Aunt Andromeda?
“Andi?” Draco heard someone call, and his heart fell six storeys into his shoes. That was Harry’s voice.
Draco turned toward the doorway, faked a smile, and tried to pretend he was calm — as though the thundering of his heart was normal.

Harry had never had a poker face. Draco had spent most of their interactions knowing just what Harry was feeling. (Whether or not he understood why.)
Harry entered the room, saw Draco holding Teddy, and Draco watched — fascinated, horrifed and amazed — as a cascade of emotions played over Harry’s handsome face.
First, Harry looked surprised. Then he looked, honestly, pretty thrilled. Then he was immediately confused. He took a step toward them, then stopped, and that’s when his face began to show anger.
“Be careful,” Draco snarked, unable to stop himself, “or one of those foolish expressions will become permanent.”

Harry stared.
Draco took take pity on him. Jiggling and resettling the baby, who was (annoyingly) reaching for Harry (at least he’d stopped fussing), Draco drew himself tall. He reached deep into his past, seeking that once-permanent feeling of superiority he’d held so dear — before the war came and destroyed damn-near everything Draco valued and understood.
“I assume you are wondering why I am here,” Draco began.
Harry nodded, looking dumb with surprise; confusion.
“I came to talk with Aunt Andromeda,” Draco said. “I wanted advice.”
“About… me?” Harry asked. The hope on his face made Draco’s throat dry up.
