(I'm adopting Eeyore's definition of midnight here)
The trip to the castle was swift, but nerve-wracking. Every bush seemed to hold a threat, every tree looked menacing, and Hermione was trying to keep an eye on Lucius as well as watch out for potential attacks.
She wasn't entirely sure he was reliable, which would have been a relief to him if he'd known for the last thing a Malfoy wanted to be known for was being reliable - dangerous, reckless, and very good looking... but not reliable.
If you wanted a reliable you went for a Weasley and prepared to be bored to death.
They clattered up to the gate, and Lucius dashed inside the entrance hall only to come skidding to a halt in front of Severus who was holding a hot toddy in one hand.
"I know you like a drink," said Severus. "But that's ridiculous. I can always get the house elf to make you another."
