Second Chances
Draco had never known a life outside the sizeable manor that he called home. Malfoy Manor had been excessively large and a show of the Malfoy's considerable wealth and power.
He had never been forced to think for himself. Whenever he had needed guidance on an issues he knew nothing about all he had needed to do was write home and he knew an answer would be forthcoming soon.
That had been before the war.
Now Draco was alone. The decisions he made were solely his own. If he was unaware of a subject he had to research it then take a chance on his decision. Malfoy Manor was no more. His childhood home had been taken away from them due to his father's placing in the Death Eater ranks.
The only thing that had kept him out of Azkaban for having a Dark Mark on his arm was his school ex-rival, Harry Potter.
The fact that Potter had testified for him before a full Court for his innocence had shocked him and the entire jury. Their rivalry had been legendary during their times in Hogwarts and had remained so for a few years afterwards.
Potter had given him a second chance like Dumbledore had done for his godfather, Severus Snape. It was almost ironic that history would repeat itself.
Draco was glad nonetheless.
He had been able to have a family. He had married Astoria according to the contract and had young Scorpius after the war had been sorted out and the aftermath dealt with.
If Potter was able to grow up so could he. He would make the best out of the second chance he was given.
He had needed help and received it. He had been saved before he had known he needed saving.
