Authors note; I'm sorry for the short and really pointless chapter. My moms been in the hospital and my daughter is back in school. I wanted to give you guys a little something to let you know I'm back and to expect an update by the weekend. Love you guys!

I am smart, I am brave, I am enough. I am smart, I am brave, I am enough." Draco murmured to himself as he prepared for company. He was busy setting tea and a variety biscuits on a silver tray.

Draco was struggling. Hard. The mind healer he met with twice a week was working with Draco on him being comfortable around people again. His short stint in Azkaban had been enough to move his mind into dangerous waters. The mind healer said that Dracos brain had created a safe place, inside his mind, for him to hide in when things became too tough, so it would take some time to make that place disappear and for him to stop slipping into that space.

Harry moved into the living room watching as Draco's OCD set into place making sure the room was perfect for Blaise and Ginny. The hours at the hospital had brought the two together easily enough. Two intense dates later and the couple was inseparable. Not that he was surprised. Blaise had an intensity that just dragged you in. Ginny was instantly drawn.

Harry was happy for Ginny. She smiled much more now with Blaise then she ever did with him. She deserved to be happy. To have someone give her the world, and he always knew he couldn't be that man.

"Draco?" When the man didn't respond, the dark haired wizard moved, resting a gentle hand on his elbow announcing his presence to him. Draco had been home from the hospital almost a week and Harry was careful on how and how often he touched the man. A small incident could set Draco back months in healing the mind healer warned.

Draco jumped almost spilling the tray. Harry waved his hand catching the tray and floating it to the table, wordlessly and wandlessly.

"Sorry, Dray. I was trying to get your attention in the door way but I didn't think you could hear me. " Harry let his hand drop from Draco's elbow and smiled at him sheepishly.

"It's okay Harry. I was in my own thoughts. Good catch on the tray. Your seeker instincts are still quite intact I see." Draco pushed a piece of his bangs out of his face. He missed his long hair, the ability to tie it back out of his face.

Harry smiled softly at the man in front of him. The amount of strength he had surpassed anything Harry could muster up. Even when having to face a crazed power hungry maniac. He was proud of Draco. He had sat through over two hours of questioning about anything and everything he remembered from the prison. He has given pensive memories as evidence. Between Hermione and Draco's lawyer they were trying to make it so he didn't have to attend the multiple trials. His mind healer was concerned that it would be destructive to his progress.

"You're reflex's are just as good. Maybe this weekend we can bring our brooms to the burrow and fly out in the field. We can have a seekers match. " he suggested looking up when he heard a knock on their front door. "Are you ready?"

The mind healer had suggested small groups of people at a time. So that if Draco became over whelmed it would be easy enough to remove himself from the situation.

Draco smoothed his tee shirt out, well it was Harrys he had borrowed, but he was wearing it just the same. It smelled like him. It made him feel safe. "Yeah. I'm ready. I trust Blaise with my life. I know he wouldn't hurt me. " he watched Harry head to the door and open it with a large smile.

"Hey guys! Come in. Dinners in the oven. It's about done. Draco put out tea and biscuits while we wait. "

Draco had curled himself up on the love seat and watched as his best mate came in, arm around the red wixens waist. They looked good together. Draco could feel the power between the two of them, the way their magic intertwined already.

"Dray! I'm so glad you're home." Blaise guided Ginny to the couch to sit across from Draco. Harry had warned the man that unless Draco initiated the touch, to keep it to the bare minimum.

Ginny smiled, "I am too. Harry was driving us bonkers. He's hopeless when it comes you, it's sad really." Ginny laughed when Harry swatted at her playfully.

"Alright. That's enough of that." Harry glared at his ex fiancé.

"What? I mean it's not like Draco doesn't already know how crazy you are for him." Ginny shrugged taking her cup of tea and leaned back a bit.

Draco chuckled lightly, life seeming almost normal. "It's true. I do know he's a bit obsessed with me. But I mean. Who can blame him? I'm more than just a pretty face." He reached for Harrys hand lacing their fingers together. He felt Harry squeeze his hand.

"So Luna told us you decided on a store front for your bakery. You must be so excited. Harry goes on and on about your baking. Even Blaise says it could rival my mothers. I'm hoping I get to test some soon. "

Draco leaned into Harry letting their legs touch. He was so thankful with how patient Harry had been with him. "Yes, Luna has been a saving grace, doing all the work for me. We start remodeling the store front next week."

The small talk continued between the foursome easily. Tea and biscuits gone. Draco untangled himself from Harry and moved to put the tray in the kitchen and move dinner to the table. Blaise joined in on helping leaving Harry and Ginny to chat.

"How is he really doing? I know he's good at masking himself. " Ginny asked leaning forward.

"As good as one could expect really. The physical wounds are healed and gone. Only the dagger scar remains. He's a bit off about it, so he doesn't like me to see it or touch it. The mental stuff though. He's really struggling. He's seeing a mind healer. That's helping. But he has nightmares. Sometimes they put him in a panic attack and he won't let me even near him. "

Ginny patted Harrys knee. " it will be okay. Honestly. He's a strong guy. He lived with death eaters and a mad man. I'm sure he will get through this too. He's not alone. He has all of us."

Harry smiled, "Thanks Gin. I'm glad you're so good to him. Means a lot to me. "

"So when are you going to tell him about the letter you got while he was sick?"

"Gin, I'm not even sure I'm going to do it. Draco needs me here, with his bakery and everything else. "

"Harry you have to tell him, whether you decide to go or not. He will be mad if you don't include him in the conversation. "

"Tell me what Harry?" Draco asked leaning in the door way looking between the two. "What haven't you told me?"

Harry swallowed hard. "I got a letter from the headmistress, McGonagall. She's asked me to return to Hogwarts, to teach."
