Malfoy’s intentions with Hermione over the past few weeks and especially tonight was to make sure he would try to make it up to her. All those years of bullying, taunting, slight hexing, point deductions he was responsible for, being part of a family that were absolutely awful, being too scared to stand up to Voldemort, being too scared to stand up to his Aunt. Every little thing he did wrong to her, he needed to make up for.
