I worry that Draco may be more or less written out of this fic - I can't imagine Lucius sending his son back into Voldemort's maw. There are other schools, even if none are as good.

He did send his son to Dumbledore's maw, the one he believes burned alive his wife for no reason. I don't think sending him back with Harrymort there would bother him that much. It's not like Harrymort has anything to gain by killing Draco. The danger comes more from Hermione than from Harrymort, and it seems that she's scared enough so she'll never attempt anything against Draco. And Draco will be on guard. So... I think Draco will go back to Hogwarts.

Draco's going to want to go back, of course.

His father may make him want what is best for him, what his father thinks is best for him, that is.

So maybe he won't want to go back, after all.

I think it is meant that Harry set up Draco to be irreversibly autonomous with the Bayesian Conspiracy thing. And Lucius wants Malfoy to be the sincerely powerful scion of the Malfoy house, not just a puppet for himself, so he won't mess him too badly.

I fear you mistake your hopes for reasonable conclusions.

Harry's debt to Lucius will guarantee his and Draco's interaction at some point in the future even if Draco never goes back to school.

Both Voldemort and the girl who tried to murder him, at that. I suspect there'll still be letters between the two, though.
