Clad in a black and gray suit, Draco Lucius Malfoy walked through the halls of the Ministry toward his office. The once cocky young boy was replaced with a serious man who had put much of his youth behind him. Various staff wished him go morning, and he replied to them with the same greeting, but did so in a very standard, customary manner. There was little significant emotion behind it.
Entering his office, he sat at his desk and looked over some of the files he was to go through that morning as his secretary entered with tea and poured it for him. On his tray was a morning copy of the Daily Prophet. Draco thanked her in the same way that he greeted the employees outside- a dry and standard show of gratitude. He sipped his tea and looked over his paperwork a bit more until his attention turned to the front page of the newspaper. The top story was understandably Cora Veltrino's recent escape from Azkaban. Draco had been informed of it already, but still was interested in what the Prophet writer had to say about the situation. Putting aside his paperwork, he grabbed the newspaper and read it.
Draco knew of Cora. He was present at her trial after all. But more than that a number of the Veltrinos had fought in Voldemort's army. The very name of Veltrino among others reminded him of a time in his life that he wanted to forget but could not. The memories struck him in nightmares, they struck him whenever he dealt with a dark wizard or dark witch case, and they struck him now reading this newspaper...
It seemed as if Draco was destined to be a wicked man from the time of his birth. His own father was a Death Eater, and both Lucius and his mother bowed before the Dark Lord. It was almost always in the plan for Draco to do the same. Draco did little in disproving that theory during his time at Hogwarts. He was a cruel, foolish, spoiled child. He inherited his father's hate for Muggle-Born and Half-Blood wizards. He became enemies with not only Harry Potter, but any he saw unfit to be in his presence. This was usually anyone in Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. Looking back, Draco wondered what he could have achieved if his mind was not so clouded by the darkness of his family. He could have been truly great... perhaps as great as Harry Potter himself. Instead he allowed his own ego to betray him.
Then came the day he was asked to do the unthinkable... kill his Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Did he disagree with Dumbledore on things? Or course. But to kill the legendary wizard? Draco was as mean as a coiled viper at the time, but he was no killer. The struggle he went through, the nightmares... and the guilt and shame he felt even after Snape killed Dumbledore instead. He had become possibly the most reluctant member of Voldemort's ranks.
But this is where light came out of darkness. Draco began to see the error of his ways, and refused to give away the captured Harry Potter to Bellatrix at Malfoy Manor. His respect for Harry and what Harry stood for grew when Potter saved him from the inferno when his one-time enemy didn't have to. If only he had stayed to show Harry his gratitude by fighting at his side, but he was still nothing but a foolish, confused boy at the time.
He had grown since then... a bit wiser, and had, if anything, learned from his past. He had tried to be the Minister the Wizarding World wanted, and not bow to his own selfish desires. It was not always easy, but he felt he was doing a good job. And now it was his responsibility to address this issue about Cora's escape. It was time to assure his world that the Ministry would not allow darkness to engulf the Wizarding World again.
