The house elf trembled when he opened the door. Master Lucius was home, and master Lucius had never been nice; master Draco was much nicer. He never asked for the house elves to punish themselves if they did what he said. "Master Lucius," he said, voice cracking. He looked at the man, eyes wide, deciding what to do, before slamming the door shut again, and Apparating in master Draco to ask for direction. He breathed easier when he learnt that he wouldn't have to kick master Lucius out, but that he was only a guest.
The house elf reappeared downstairs, and opened the door. "Master Draco be happy to see you, Master. He shall be waiting for you in the drawing room," he added, before closing the door and Disapparating before Master could order him to punish himself for his impudence.
