It would be unfair to say that Narcissa knew nothing about Quidditch. She had occasionally watched the Slytherin games after all, but that was likely due to the players and not the sport in itself. Lucius had not played in school, and it had been quite a relief not to have to pretend she cared about how the Harpies were faring this week. Sports had never been that interesting, and she could never understand why some people were entirely obsessed with Quidditch. Seven players, four balls, brooms, and inevitable injury. How incredibly fascinating.
In any case, she figured it wouldn't be that hard to make conversation about with Meaghan McCormack, keeper for the Wigtown Wanderers, who should be arriving in any moment. People generally liked to talk about themselves. Narcissa had absolutely no plans to make McCormack a speaker at any fundraiser (she preferred distinguished people, thank you very much), but apparently Lucius and some of the others wanted information on Quidditch pitch layouts and such for something they were planning. She frowned out at the gardens outside the window, wishing this was over already. It had been quite a distressing week so far, what with Temperance being stolen and that owl from Sirius.
"Escort Miss McCormack to this salon when she arrives," Narcissa instructed Dobby as he brought the plates of Niçoise salad to the table. Hopefully Miss McCormack's visit would be able to become an amusing story for later parties, at the very least.
