Lucio was accepted into Ilvermony school of Witchcraft and Wizardry once he turned eleven, and while Hermione hadn’t wanted him to go so far away from home, she let him attend with her blessing. (They operated under new names and altered appearances for many years, not wanting to be connected to the Malfoy name out of fear of being punished for Draco’s doings.) He made friends easily wherever he went and was well-liked and popular, tearing through school and proving he was his mother’s son with every excellent mark he got. When he graduated, Hermione couldn’t hold back and sobbed when he was given his diploma. She put up many of his graduation photos all over the house afterward.
