As Draco woke the next morning, he began an all too familiar internal war with himself. The way he left Granger the day before was not his intention, but he didn’t necessarily regret it. She had to understand that he is not right for her. Granger, to Draco, is good and kind and pure and has nowhere to move but forward with her life. On the other hand, he was on probation, a former Death Eater and childhood bully, a boy who made all the wrong choices, had nowhere to go, but would instead remain stagnant. She had to know that. It was in her best interest to keep a distance from him, whatever measured closeness was required of their probationary and sponsor status had to be just that.
