Draco was up early, earlier then he wanted to be on his day off but he figured it was for a semi-good cause. He got dressed quickly and apparated to Diagon Ally, making his way silently through the early shoppers.
He found the shop easily enough, the giant head above the door continuously moving. "Alohomora." He mumbled, the tip of his wand pointing at the lock.
Stepping inside, he winced as the bell above the door chimed, drawing the attention of George on the second level.
"You have some nerve breaking in here. What d'you want?" he asked, peering over the railing.
"It's not like that… I'd like to have a chat." Draco responded, turning his wand over in his hand.
George disappeared over the railing, re-appearing at the stairs with his own wand drawn. "What could you possibly have to say to me?"
Draco cleared his throat, "I wanted to say… to apologize on behalf of my family for any pain we may have caused to you and yours."
"Harry put you up to that? Told you you'd all stay out of Azkaban if you came and gave an insincere apology?"
"No, no one put me up to anything. I'm just… I'm trying to change… be nicer." Draco explained.
George laughed and tilted his head to the side, "you wouldn't know what nice was if it bit you on the nose. What a load of rubbish."
Draco glared and began lifting his wand out of habit, George hurrying and doing the same.
"Is everything okay?" Kagome asked tentatively, appearing over the railing with bedhead and alert eyes, her wand visible and ready.
"Malfoy was just leaving." George assured, moving to open the door for the blonde.
Draco made a noise and jerked his gaze from his co-worker, making his way to the door. "I'm sorry for the loss of your brother." He enunciated clearly before disappearing into the crowds in the alley.
George stood frozen, unsure if what he heard was true or not before releasing the door and wandering into his office, closing the door behind him.
'I knew he could do it.' Kagome thought with a sigh, beginning to comb through her hair.
