*Hermione's POV*

After working several years in the Ministry's Department of Magical Law, Hemione had finally worked her way up to a position where she could propose a law to prevent werewolf discrimination. She wanted to make it illegal to refuse to hire someone who was a werewolf. But before she could bring the law up to vote, she wanted to get a Healer who specialized in lycanthropy to testify that the werewolves weren't dangerous. Provided they take the Wolfsbane potion during the full moon, of course. She also was determined to make the potion more easily accessible and more affordable.

With a grin on her face, Hermione apparated to St. Mungo's where she had an appointment with the Healer with the most experience regarding werewolves. The Head of St. Mungo's hadn't told her the Healers name, only where his office was located. She straightened the paperwork she had brought with her and knocked on the office door.

"Come in." Said a voice that was vaguely familiar to her. It must have been someone from Hogwarts that she hadn't seen in years. Opening the door she saw a man with bright blonde hair and Hermione stepped back instinctively.

"Malfoy?" Hermione gasped, now she understood why she hadn't been told his name. "Why are you a Healer?" He had no need to work, as Lucius had left him a handsome sum of money after he had died in Askaban a year after the war.


*Draco's POV*

Draco had been dreading this appointment all day. He knew Hermione wouldn't be happy to see him. But seeing her back away, as if afraid of him, made him feel so much worse. He felt so much guilt for all his actions during the war. The Wizengamot had declared him innocent of all crimes he was accused of, as he had been under duress by his Father, and Voldemort's threat to kill his mother. Everyday he woke up with the guilt, which is why he had become a Healer. After causing the wizarding world so much pain because of his actions, he wanted to help with the healing.

"Granger, I'm not going to hurt you." He said softly, sitting down at the desk, he pulled out all his notes and research on werewolves. "Shall we begin our discussion?"


*Hermione's POV*

"Yes." Hermione said, she wouldn't let an old bully prevent this law. Sitting down, she placed her notes on his desk next to his.

"I know it is awkward to be working with me, but I promise to keep this purely professional. I want to help this law get passed, I've seen too many people pushed to the fringes of society just because they were a werewolf." Draco said, smiling politely at her.

"Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one." She said. "Several individuals on the Wizengamot were friends with Lupin, so I know I'll have their votes. However the majority know nothing of werewolves and will vote against it unless we compile enough evidence to prove to them that this is the right thing to do."

"We out to get started then, sooner we can get all the evidence compiled the sooner it can be voted into law." He said. With that they began pouring over each other's research, besides the occasional comment they were silent for the several hours it took them to examine all the documents they had both compiled.
