This is just an extra chapter!

You don't have to read it, but it continues on from the last chapter and gets them set up for the new chapter!

----------

After they all returned to the main room, everyone branched out and sat with the people they needed to talk to. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny and Draco sat together with Luna tagging along. Blaise decided to sit with Fred and George, forcing Pansy to come with him. Umbridge went to sit with Lucius to discuss Draco, and Narcissa decided to sit with her cousin, Sirius and 'catch up' with him. 

They were talking about how things were going in their lives, before a mention of Regulas had set them both off into trying to find out what actually happened to him. They scuffled over to a corner, making sure no one was watching them, before turning back to the issue they were discussing.

"Um, about what Alberu said before... was-was that true?" Neville asked Draco, his voice slightly timid. The harsh way he had been treated by Draco for the past 5 years lingered with him, and, although he was apart of the DA, he was constantly thinking about how he would drag the group down. 

"Well, she wasn't wrong, but another reason I was being so mean was because, in first year, when I went to shake hands with Harry and he rejected me, that kind of... like, really upset me," Draco responded, his hands in his lap with his head hung down. He had been so exited to meet the Boy Who Lived. 

He had heard all about him from his father, mainy focusing on about how much of a 'disgrace' he was -- being a halfblood and all -- but, for the first time, Draco decided to take his own inititive and befriend the young boy who was hated so much in his household. After Harry rejected him, he became angry... and also upset. He would never admit it, but the boy he looked forward to meeting so much coldly glared at him when he put his hand out, and that hurt. A lot.

"Oh... I-I'm sorry about that, but what you said wasn't cool, so I guess I kind of got pissed and said that in the spur of the moment," Harry said. 

"Nah, I know. What I said and what I've done to you guys throughout the years was horrible, plus, back then I was taught to hate muggleborns and families like yours," He points to Ron* and Ginny, "-which I'm not saying is an exuse," he added quickly, "-so I'm not asking for you to forgive me just yet, but... will-will you accept my apology?"

"I understand. Normally the kids actions and the way they talk are based off of how they were raised and what their parents taught them, so you being so mean to me for the fact that I'm muggleborn was only because you were so used to your parents - well, your father, it seems - belittling them that you thought it was the norm," Hermione said, her voice turning from informative to gentle. 

Draco let out a small chuckle at Hermione going all knowledgable on them, then turned to the rest to get their opinions. 

"Yeah, I mean, you were raised in a household like that, and though your mother doesn't seem that bad, your father does," Ron said. 

"Although it may take a while to forgive you, I can understand and sympathize with why you did it all, so, for now... truce?" Harry asked, holding out his hand for him to shake.
