All of Hermione’s fight went out as he asked his questions. She sat down beside him and said almost inaudibly, "I do remember Ron. But there are other things I believe in. This war was not just about destroying Voldemort, but war was about establishing equality. It was about making purebloods realize they were not above others simply because of their blood. It was about stopping discrimination. So why can’t you give Malfoy a chance? I am not talking about a clean state. But giving him a chance to show you he is not the same guy anymore. Oh yes he is still arrogant; he is every bit cunning, selfish and Slytherin as ever, but he is not Voldemort. He is not just a Death Eater. At least he fought to protect his family. What did Percy fight for? But if he comes back will you not welcome him back? Why? Because he is family? Tell me Ron, isn’t that discrimination? Draco fought in the same war, a war he didn’t start, didn’t want. He paid a price too. Now let it go and let him be. He is making amends and you need to start too.’
