"I couldn't agree more. Theo and I... we were thinking about having a child, and... I'd want the best for them."
"Really? Congrats," Harry said, with a smile.
"Thanks, Harry," she said, slowly getting Harry to talk more. 
Draco could see that Harry was uncomfortable at first, but Tori was so nice that the tension in Harry's shoulders faded. He didn't have to keep his guard up around her as much as Blaise and Theo. It helped that Tori was half his size as well. She was thin and had little weight on her. Blaise had mentioned that she had been in recovery. Draco wasn't sure that she could handle a pregnancy.
When they sat down to dinner, Tori explained how her family had sold her off to Theo, through a marriage contract between their parents. She took her husband's hand and smiled. 
"Lucky for me, Theo was amazing... and kind. It took a bit...."
"Years," Theo added.
"...but we grew closer. We've gone no contact with our parents. Joke's on them," she said. "But we're happy... and Theo saved me in more than one way."
"Blaise saved you," Theo muttered, looking down.
"I lifted the curse. You were there for her when she needed it," Blaise countered.
Draco felt the sadness in both their voices. Tori had almost died. She was so kind and thoughtful, and she had healed Theo's troubled soul. Tori even sensed her husband's distress and switched topics by asking Harry about his work.
"Well, I haven't gone back... since Draco was released. I needed time off... to process everything."
"That's understandable," she said.
"I'm sure you saw the articles," he muttered.
"We did, but that doesn't mean that they were true."
Harry sighed. "Most of them were."
Tori gently took his hand. "I'm really sorry that happened to you, Harry."
"Thanks," he muttered, and Tori quickly changed the subject again. 
After dinner, they helped clear the dishes and walked to the den, where the fire was going. Blaise was still cleaning the dishes, so they had smaller conversations until he returned. Draco sat on the couch with Theo. Harry seemed too anxious to sit beside him in front of the others. He was talking with Neville. Theo talked with him about Gringotts for a bit, but Astoria went over to Harry and Neville. Draco heard her ask about school.
"Well, September first is next week. We've already set up our classrooms and I check the greenhouses every day, so... the end of vacation is nigh," he said.
Draco hadn't realized that it was so close. The past few months had been a blur. He looked at Harry, who also seemed surprised by the news. It was a change in their routine. Blaise wouldn't be taking him to the café anymore for lunch.
Theo interrupted his thoughts to ask him about his accounts and his plans. Draco didn't know much. The Patils said the settlement check should be coming soon. His properties had been remanded back to his control, and occupants were ejected. Draco had hired a security firm to set up wards and surveillance. The Patils said that even after the government sent the checks, they still wanted to go after the individuals who either stole from him, hurt him, or allowed it all to happen. 
Draco wasn't sure he was ready to sue the guards. That meant a trial... where he might have to testify. As the guards had been convicted for what they did, the Wizengamot might do a summary judgment. Either way, the Patils said he had time. He honestly wanted the whole thing over with, but that little nagging feeling of revenge was starting to sound appealing. Taking every galleon they had was small compared to what they did to him, but it was a start. Blaise said he knew a few people who would harass them for money. He didn't want that, though. He wanted to put it behind him.
