With a smile, he nodded. “I suppose it’s hard, for those that have tested things in the past and found them lacking, that someone else might find a way to use it.” He understood it in a way. Sure, he hadn’t exactly taken things his father had tried and changed them, but he had changed things for the Malfoy family name, even if people didn’t exactly associate it with healing yet. Perhaps one day both he and Cygnus would prove to rise above their last names.
“How? Well, … after the battle, I returned to Hogwarts to finish my last year and I had a good talk with the Headmistress. We spoke of my future and what I wanted, as opposed to what my father wanted and the skills I have. And we concluded that with the subjects I’m good at, healing was an option.” He’d needed some time to think things over but had eventually decided that after all the pain he’d caused, perhaps he could redeem himself by healing people instead in the future. “It felt like a way to make up for my wrongs. And while it started that way, I have come to like it. I even have an apartment in London, where I am surrounded by muggles, who … I actually like. And I hope they like me too, at least they seem to …”
Luna gave a small shrug. “I find it’s best to learn from one’s own experiences anyway,” she said casually. “Certain woods work better with certain cores. It’s really rather fascinating.” She’d never thought she would find a different calling that the one she’d been raised in, but it was bringing her a certain comfort.
From what she knew of him, she didn’t doubt Draco Malfoy had the skills. Perhaps the people skills, from what she’d heard and what little she’d seen. But he’d also helped Harry she knew when Harry was in the Manor. There’d been something in there. The part about living near muggles surprised her more than anything though. She gave him a smile. “That sounds like a really positive change.”
