“some people don’t deserve redemption” redemption isn’t something that’s deserved, it’s something someone does. it’s making the choice to change the way you live your life, to be better, to do good things instead of bad things and try to make up for the bad things. and everyone can and should do that, at any time, no matter what they’ve done. we can’t change the past, but we can choose what kind of person to be now and in the future. we have the responsibility to do so. it is so completely not about “deserving.”
This is part of a continuous story, you can read the first part here. Based off this prompt list by @peachydreamxx and @uncannycerulean

Since the beginning of the year, Draco had been waiting for his appeal to go through.
It had been fine having limited access to his wand during his eighth year. It was horrible, but he could live with it. He still had a bit of magic.
Once his sentence was abruptly changed to a strict no magic regulation once he graduated, had it become unbearable.
He had managed it though. Found simple solutions to his magical needs and learned to live like a muggle, but live he did. Still, he was going to get his magic back.
As soon as he got a reply.

Potter stood in the living room, keenly staring at their first jigsaw hung on the wall.
“I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that puzzle piece is never going to be found,” Draco said from the couch.
“Why are you so sure?” He asked turning around to face him.
“It’s a tiny piece lost in a big world,” Draco replied without looking away from his book.
There was a pregnant pause before Potter declared, “I’m going to find it.” Draco scoffed but looked up at Potter; who had been staring at him intently. “You’ll see.”

“I feel like I’ve forgotten something,” Ron says, patting his waistcoat down distractedly.
“It better not be the bloody ring,” Harry grits out, teeth clenched with anxiety, nerves coursing through him like electric currents as he bounces on the balls of his feet.
“Nah, mate,” Ron grins. “Don’t you fret.”
Harry gives a choked laugh. “Me? Never been calmer.”
“Picture of serenity,” Ron agrees.
“Exactly.” Harry takes some deep breaths, shaking out his hands. “Oh god. Why isn’t he here yet? I just want this to be done.”
“Wow. Romantic.”
“It is romantic,” Harry insists. “I want us to be married now. Or fucking yesterday.”
“Language!” Hermione whispers from the front row behind them, but she’s beaming and already crying a little, hands over Hugo’s little ears. Harry grins back, feeling so painfully excited. He’s a little worried he’s going to throw up from it. The thought of it makes him laugh, imagining Draco’s face if Harry was sick all over his custom-made white robes, spun from fucking unicorn hair or mermaid silk or whatever. God.
And then a hush falls over the crowd, and there he is, looking so fucking beautiful as he strides down the aisle, robes billowing behind him, sun gleaming in his hair, eyes fixed firmly on Harry. Jesus fuck. Harry's crying now too. He can't look away. Draco is a vision, glowing, his haughty, pointy, beloved face softened with something that looks like awe, disbelief. Harry can relate.
"Hey," he chokes out, when Draco reaches him.
"Hello," Draco murmurs, his mouth pulling into a grin. "My god, Harry, control yourself."
"I can't," Harry sobs. "Ugh. Fuck. I love you."
"We're not at that part yet," Draco reminds him, gripping his hands tight, radiant.
Ron puts a hand on Harry's shoulder, passing him a handkerchief. "Ready?"
"Yeah," Harry beams, wiping his eyes and looking back to Draco. "Are you?"
And Draco, grey eyes bright, nods.

Yeah, Draco taking Harry's last name to make a statement about no longer being a part of his stupid family's pureblood ideology is cool, but Harry taking Draco's last name to make a statement about how he 100000% supports his husband as he is, past, present, and future, and is done being the celebrity Harry Potter and is focusing on being Draco's husband is SO MUCH BETTER.
“I just know that something good is gonna happen, I don’t know when. But just saying it could even make it happen.”
