To add salt into her wound, Remus had continued a light correspondence with Draco after their talk at the pub. He found that he enjoyed talking to the man, he was insightful, and intelligent, and felt like he had a lot to make up for since the war. When he mentioned in one of their letters that Hermione had trouble brewing the Wolfsbane, Draco informed him that he brewed his batch based on the notes inherited from Severus and felt confident about its quality. He offered to supply it to Remus this month if he was interested, and if she was willing, to teach Hermione. Hermione was a bit put out but begrudgingly admitted that Draco was a more than competent brewer, and that the potion could be trusted, but she’d rather not "deal with his smug ferret gloating", and would try again next month.
