Who: Draco and Lucius What: talking, with a little bit of subtle plotting. When: Tuesday night, after dinner [backdated] Where: Draco's room Warnings: TBA
It was probably strange that Draco felt more comfortable being relaxed and informal around his father these days when he had ulterior motives. Not that he was trying to get anything from his father, as he had when he'd gone to see him about ending his punishment. No, this time he wanted to simply get a feel for how his father would feel about replacing Umbridge.
Obviously, Draco thought his father was the far better candidate. Umbridge had been shown to be incompetent, and he was hopeful that there might be a bit of a regime change around here soon. Perhaps his father would even get on board and have a go at the top spot himself. With a little encouraging from Draco, of course.
His wards wouldn't be fixed until the morning, so it was just as well he wasn't planning to leave his room tonight. He had gotten tea for them, to help them relax, and he was prepared to talk about some of the more uncomfortable things, if necessary. They had to talk about the future, and that might not only involve the Headmaster position.
