He didn't see Hermione for years after the end-of-year ceremony, but it wasn't a surprise when he found out she had married Weasley. Draco didn't remain alone for long either. On graduation day, Astoria approached him to congratulate him, and they started talking. She soon gave him another reason to move on. She wasn't just a sweet Pureblood girl, but the only one who could heal his wounds. He fell in love with her and promised himself that he wouldn't hurt her. He would make up for his mistakes and do it with Astoria, ensuring that she was always happy and didn't regret choosing him.
