It’s essential for Hermione that Alina understands that, that nothing like this would have happened if Wizarding society hadn’t punished the children of those who had been on the wrong side of the war as harshly as their parents. Everyone knows the Black Dragon is Draco Malfoy, a name born of his desire to bring back to greatness both his mother and his father’s family. She remembers clearly the way he and and his friends were harshly punished and chastised at Hogwarts, how instead Harry, Ron and Neville, even Fred and George, were rarely given anything more than a slap on the wrist even after their cruelest pranks. As there is nothing that Hermione Granger appreciates more than a good system of rules, the way one weight and two measures had become the standard at Hogwarts had irritated her to no end. So she could understand where Malfoy anger came from, although she did not condone his actions.
