While Draco had done everything that he could to not get involved in the wizarding community after having been shun, he definitely remembered Potter and Granger essentially reforming the entire categorisation of magical creatures. It had been front page news and had probably been what had catapulted Potter’s career after the glow of being the golden boy had waned.<br/>At the time, it had made Draco bitter, feeling that Potter could never do anything wrong and that he would always find a reason to shine. Now though, he knew that it was likely more than well-earned and that Potter and Granger both likely had put a lot of work into the reform happening.<br/>As Potter talked, Draco realised that he was fiddling with the scar at the back of his hand, probably due to them actually talking about Umbridge. That pen of her’s left absolutely nasty scars, not that Draco ever had been the subject to that particular kind of torture, and it made Draco’s stomach churn knowing that he had been part of the reason that Potter had that scar in the first place.<br/>Without thinking, Draco reached out for Potter’s hand, covering the scar with his hand almost as if he could make it go away just by covering it up like this. Ever since getting close with Potter, Draco had been filled more and more with regret at the way that he had treated Potter, not feeling that it was fair that Draco had gone out of his way to make Potter’s life even more complicated than it already had been.<br/>“I’m sorry,” Draco said in a soft voice, unsure exactly what he was apologising for, just feeling like Potter at least deserved to hear him say that.
