It was a day like any other. He was still training to be an Auror, but at the same time, trying to mend broken relationships with his fellow Slytherins. There were few who didn't really care anymore about what he did, and some were angry at him, saying it was his fault Voldemort lost. But he knew it wouldn't be easy. He felt it was worth it though.
He was still a Malfoy, and upheld some of his father's beliefs. Draco just wasn't a crazy lunatic who wanted to kill all the muggles and enslaved everyone not pure blooded. And he's tried to stop it against the mud-bloods, since they were just as magical as he, but of course he was better. What other wizard would betray all his friends and family to spare a man on the enemy's side? What other wizard could have done all he did? Well a good majority of wizards and witches could.
On this particular day, Draco was walking down Diagon Alley, after filling a bag full of money, mostly for food and items such as that, Draco spotted a familiar sign. It was a blast from the past. Knockturn Alley the painted sign read, pointing to a small area next to a shop. Draco headed down the stairs leading to the darkened alley, tucking his money safely away in his black dress pants (which his mother got him for his birthday the year before, and they were very stylish to him), knowing that one could get robbed easily in this place.
Holding his cane, (previously his father's which held Draco's wand now, snake head and all,to his side, Draco slowly made his way down the alley, looking from shop to shop, some bringing up painful memories, but on the other hand some had brought back great memories. He remembered when he bought his hand of glory as he passed Borgin and Burkes, conveniently forgetting the bad memories associated with the hand, but remembering a few good times, when he would use some instant darkness powder and hold it, and run away from his father. It was fantastic.
He felt like a little kid for a second, before pushing himself back into the now, but still standing in front of Borgin and Burkes. Help Wanted a sign read, and for a second Draco was tempted, but remembered he already had a job, and an amazing one at that. With his money he could probably buy the store, but the place didn't make much, and it might hurt his image owning a Dark Magic store. That said, Draco sighed and walked down the alley once more.
