Rearended

2366 words

It was late in the day, there were barely any other cars on the road. Draco was stopped at a light, thinking about what he should eat for dinner, when suddenly he felt something slam into the trunk of his car. He lurched forwared, but luckily not far enough to hit anything. He immediately started getting out of the car, ready to rip whoever rearended him a new one, but stopped short when he saw who it was.

He came out of the car rambling, looking terribly apologetic.

"I am so, so sorry, my owl freaked out, and I was trying to calm her down, and then-" He only barely glanced at Draco, and Draco just stared in awe as he rambled on. He couldn't believe it. "-so I am so sorry, I hope you can-"

"Potter?" Draco said, causing Harry to finally shut up and look at him in surprise.

"Malfoy?!"
He stared back at Draco in awe, who couldn't believe this was happening.

"Well, at least I don't have to explain to a muggle why I have an owl in my car..." Harry said, chuckling nervously.

"Yeah," Draco chuckled. He thought for a moment. "Actually, I'm surprised you got a new owl, I heard you were reluctant after Hedwig."

"Yeah- wait, how'd you know about that? That was one of the few things The Prophet hadn't published or found out about my life..." Harry asked, surprised and confused.

"Ah, um... Granger..." Draco replied sheepishly, awkwardly rubbing his neck.

"You two talk?!" Harry exclaimed.

"Yes, actually."

"But how?! She hated you so much! She punched you in the fucking face!"

Draco chuckled, then wincing slightly at the memory. Anyone who underestimated Hermione due to her size was severely mistaken.

"I ran into her one day, and we had a really nice talk. I apologized for everything. Which is what I want to do for you as well." He paused, and Harry stared at him in shock.

"I am terribly sorry for everything I did or said, I wasn't myself. I had to be who my father wanted me to be, or else..." He trailed off, pausing for a second. "I also never wanted to be a death eater..." he added, seemingly not wanting to finish the other sentence.
Harry couldn't believe it, he never thought he'd see the day Draco Malfoy apologized.

And the thing was, he actually believed him. And wanted to believe him. Maybe he pitied Malfoy. Or maybe he was past school and was tired of their rivalry. Or, maybe it had something to do with the crush he'd had on Malfoy for years.

I guess we'll never know. ;)

"I... I forgive you. And, I'm sorry too. For everything I did."

"Oh please, Potter, I was always the instigator. You just defended yourself and your friends."

"I'm the one that refused your handshake. And, there was the... Sectumsempsura..." Harry looked down as he said the evil name, he'd always felt so terrible for that. He'd never meant for that to happen...

"That's... that's okay." Draco said, smiling softly. The thing that had hurt most about that was that it was Harry who had done it. Voldemort and Lucius had done much worse before and after, but they were cold bastards anyways. They didn't mean anything to him.

But he could tell Harry hated that memory just as much as he did. So, he built up his courage and did the thing he'd done so many years ago.

He stuck his hand out to Harry Potter.
