Part One of Seven. Draco Malfoy: ex-Death Eater, former bigot, widower and single father. His children worship the Weasleys who clash with the decor, something is rotten at Hogwarts, and he doesn't really know what he's doing. But maybe he's getting the hang of it.

"It's only fair, I suppose. I ruined our friendship with a word; she destroyed my career with a sentence. She was a lot classier about it, though." After a disastrous evening, Hugo desperately tries to win back Livia Malfoy's affections. His efforts would be much easier if his most dangerous invention hadn't been stolen… and now all of Wizarding Britain has lost their magic.

All Lorcan wants to do is get through his final year smoothly. Too much to ask for, he supposes, because Rose has bullied Scorpius into dating her, Albus is sulking, Lysander has decided death-defying stunts is the best way to get Rose's attention, James is building barricades, Lily keeps messing around with the space-time continuum, and his journal has become the school bicycle.

Draco Malfoy: ex-Death Eater, former bigot, divorcee. Astoria left him for Krum, his children worship the Weasleys who clash with the décor, something's rotten at Hogwarts, and he doesn't really know what he's doing. But maybe he's getting the hang of it.

There are a lot of things wrong with Draco Malfoy's life right now, the most of which being him forced into speed dating by Ron Weasley. But it's better than sulking around at home, right? Well, maybe. It might help if a serial killer wasn't on the loose.
