"Without their notice?" So he has a shadow of himself in the prison or something so that they can't tell he's gone? This is a terrible development but I look forward to how the next year goes, whether you'll show the school year right off the bat or show us Draco's summer first.

I suppose I can assume Harry to be frustrated and think Draco ignored him (if Draco doesn't have the chance to contact Harry, which I suspect he won't). Lovely job with this story. I look forward to the next development.
