"Wouldn't be the first time," Draco said with a bitter tone. "At least she fixed it for
me; in third year I had to wait an hour for Madam Pomfrey to make herself available. Not
that it gives Granger the right to sucker punch a man just as he steps out of a fireplace."
"Why'd she hit you?" Harry asked.
"Not that she'd need a reason," Ron mumbled.
Draco narrowed his eyes at Ron and then turned his attention to Harry. "She said
something about it being too long since she punched a Slytherin. That, and the fact that I
look like my father didn't help me when I allegedly sneaked up behind her. Then she
bloody hugged me." He spat the word as though it were an indescribable offence. "She told

It took much less time telling the story to Draco since he cared little for the details
and did not ask any questions as he was able to put many of the pieces together himself.

Sirius shook his head. "Mia was not a fan of him."
"Is that her name now?" Draco inquired.
"Mia Potter."
"Potter?"
"She was adopted by my grandparents," Harry replied.
"Adopted? Well, that makes a lot more sense," Draco remarked with interest,
turning his attention to Sirius. "Not that you need it, cousin, but I wholeheartedly approve
of your match. Well done. I actually like the witch."
Ron turned beet red. "What?!"
"Absolutely." The Slytherin nodded, taking note of Ron's anger and quirking his
lips. If taking an exaggerated liking to the witch sparked such outrage in the redhead, Draco
looked like he was going to enjoy milking the moment for all it was worth. "Bravo to you
