Dracoâs wand is broken and heâs sent to live in the Muggle world for his crimes as a Death Eater
years later, Harry is an auror sent to a Muggle city to investigate a series of crimes
Harry stays at a ritzy hotel where the staff is startlingly familiar- Goyle is a bellhop/porter, Zabini is a concierge, Parkinson is a waitress at the hotel restaurant
as unsettling as it is, itâs not as unsettling as the fact that someone is missing from this group- and that bothers Harry more than it should
finally Malfoy appears, as the pianist who plays piano in the restaurant at dinner
Harry thinks that Malfoy should not be so enrapturing as he plays, but he is
Now, living in a hotel for an extended period of time where a bunch of former Slytherins/ war criminals should be hell for a Gryffindor like Harry, but itâs surprisingly⌠not?
Parkinson is as funny as she is bitchy, Goyle is kind of sweet when you pay attention to him, Zabini is a source of endless free entertainment, and  Malfoy- Malfoy is really something special
Heâs guarded, obviously has a lot of trust issues, but heâs not scared of Harry- heâll talk to him, tell him about the piano pieces he plays (theyâre mostly French songs from the mid-1900s, Harry learns), about the church he sometimes plays the organ for, about the music shop across town where he has another job- Harry realizes he wants to be friends with this new Draco Malfoy heâs getting to know
While Malfoy is happy to chat casually with Harry, heâs hesitant to start an actual friendshipâ he turns Harry down every time he asks him out to lunch, he refuses to speak about heavier topics (the war, his parents, etc)
Harry catches him off guard when one day he shows up at the music shop where Malfoy works during one of his shiftsÂ
Harry insists it was truly coincidental, he was only at the shop to buy a book of blank sheet music to give to Malfoy so he could write his own music
 Malfoy is so touched that he gives in to Harryâs attempt at friendship, and within practically no time at all, theyâre friends burgeoning on something moreÂ
They become a couple (probably w/ some dramatic confessions, heated kisses, and encouragement from Parkinson)
When Harryâs case is closed, he has to go back to Wizarding London,, when he tells Draco, Draco breaks things off with him, saying Harry deserves someone who can be with him in his own world
Harry, devastated, goes back to the Ministry with an agenda- make sure Draco and his friends are allowed back into the Wizarding World
B/c heâs Harry fucking Potter and b/c of some Slytherin ambition which rubbed off on Harry, he succeeds
happy ending where Draco and Harry get back together, Draco opens his own music shop in Dragon Alley, and Harry wakes up in the mornings to his boyfriend playing piano in the living roomÂ
