Apologies to the readers about the confusion! I realize I may have been too vague concerning the epilogue and the whole fiasco. Here's the run down.

1. Draco's arrest: Hermione didn't register with the Ministry about being a veela as she wanted to be out of the spotlight. She had enough attention as a war hero and didn't want anymore. Due to this, the Ministry had no proof that Hermione was, in fact, a veela on file which is why getting Draco out of their confinement took so long because he was not registered as her mate and therefore could not be pardoned for being in her room as her cure. Therefore Draco was there "technically" without any official permission and was "breaking in" to see a patient.

2. Why Luna's approval didn't work: Pansy called Luna knowing Luna would give permission. However, despite Luna being a healer she was not one of the designated healers over Hermione's case. She was merely a friend who had access to her and sometimes took it upon herself to look after Hermione even though she didn't have the jurisdiction to do so. She got away with it because she was also a war hero.

3. Why permission wasn't enough: Because the Ministry love there legal jargon and processes, having the permission was not enough to justify Draco's presence in Hermione's room as Luna was not a healer allowed to give permission and Pansy was not a head healer and disobeyed the law of St. Mungo's, and Hermione was an unregistered veela. With all the factors combined, Draco was essentially breaking the law and was taken into custody by the Ministry rather than simply being kicked out.

4. Draco's sudden appearance of the elven blood: So, due to Draco mating to Hermione, the veela bond caused his dormant elven blood to suddenly appear which is why you see Hermione referencing it in the epilogue. Now, Lucius said that Draco received none because he wasn't the child of a true bond. Lucius simply lied. Draco always had the Teleri line in him it just had gone dormant due to his parent's bond not being true. When Draco embraced a true bond, such as his and Hermione's, then his blood made itself known.

I hope that answers any confusion you readers may have had! Happy reading!
