Jack grinned mischievously. "Well, that's just boring. Schemeing is what we Slytherins do. We're famous for it. If we didn't scheme, we wouldn't be Slytherins. We'd be boring Ravenclaws or even more boring Hufflepuffs or even worse..." He paused, his eyes alight with humour. "We'd be Gryffindors."
He arched an eyebrow as he glanced back over at Boot and MacMillan. "They'll probably blush at you a lot."
Jack snickered. "Oh, now I'm tempted to do all sorts of things." Actually his thought was it would be a damn good way for Jack to break the ice with a few of these purebloods. And it was the sort of silly thing the man would do before talking seriously about business.
He took another sip of his wine. "Speaking of... I should circulate and chat. I'll see you later if you'd like."
