Alice smiled when they headed inside, but became.slightly displeased at the spat Angela and Erik were already having. She hung back a moment as the.other two sat down, and she grabbed hold of Oliver's hand and led.him into a nearby booth. "Sorry about that. Trust me, you don't want to be around Erik and Angela when they get on a row."

She saw their waitress and ordered a cup of tea and her usual, baked potato soup with some breadsticks. She looked to Oliver and spoke. "So, what is it you do for a living? I mean, this conversation has to start somewhere." She said, And once her tea arrived she took a sip. "I'm a spell inventor."

Draco could hear the conversation around them, but what really got him was the surprise in Eva's voice. He.knew a lot of people hated him, but he had.made amends with those who he could. Harry Potter, the Weasleys, Granger. But the rest of the world.saw him as scrum, and after all the pain he saw in the war, He wanted to be a healer. 

He.nodded. "Yes really. I went back over the last few.months and took NEWT courses with Slughorn and Flitwick, and I take my exams for an internship in St. Mungos on MOnday."

Draco felt his.mother's eyes on him. "He will do wonderfully. I mean, he mended the garden too. Trimmed down all the hedges, brought some life back into it." Narcissa said, and Draco nodded, taking up his cup of tea and taking a sip.
