Apologies

After the wizarding war, people have changed. Some for the better, other's not. When old habits are gone, can a new and different love blossom.

1. After it All

DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything, but the plot. This is all inspired from the mastermind J.K. Rowling.

A/N: So this is totally my first fanfic, and since I ship Dramione, I decided to write my own. R&R PLEASE! THANKS!

Chapter 1: After it All

It's been 3 years since the second Wizarding War, but still I have nightmares. I mostly dream about the fiendfyre that almost killed me, but occasionally Voldemort's evil sneer creeps into my mind. You would think that my life almost ending would take up my entire dreams, but it doesn't. He ruined it all for me. My father is now in Azkaban for his supporting Voldemort. Even though he got a somewhat short sentence, it still is disgraceful. Mother just mopes around the manor, trying to erase all signs of the Dark Lord, but his presence still lingers. It is hard to get all of his evil out, and forget about all of it.

I honestly did not want to go back to Hogwarts, after all that happened there. I expected it to be demolished, but somehow the amazing school survived the war, and it is being rebuilt. Even though I did not really appreciate the school when I was there before, I decided to give it all another try. Attempt to make some happy memories there, try to erase some of the bad ones. This would be my last year there and I wanted to start over and make a good impression. I was no longer going to be the stuck up, mean, no friend Draco Malfoy. I was now the once mighty pure-blood who didn't care as much for blood status. I wanted to apologize to the people I tortured and hurt while there, mostly Hermione Granger. Ever since I walked away from the school and that evil Dark Lord, I have wanted to change and every time I think about the things I used to say, her face pops into my mind and I can see her face when I would call her a "Mudblood". I want to change, for her.

So, if you finished this THANK YOU FOR TESTING THIS OUT. I plan on continuing on and making this long. If you would like to help me out in anyway, THANKS IN ADVANCE. And please, review, i am going to need more ideas. THANkS.
