It wasn't necessary, naturally, for Severus to spend any amount of time with the Malfoys; he could conduct his business with his brothers just as well from as own home, or really anywhere that wasn't Hogwarts. Communication via owls or even journals was preferable, in fact, liberating him as they did from having to come face-to-face with any of his more unpleasant associates. But all the same he'd agreed to stay as a guest of the Manor for a few days, and aside from having to avoid Draco, it had been a largely positive experience. It was much more comfortable than his own home, better-appointed in every respect. He was left on his own for the most part, and could do what he liked. And it even contained some decent company.
He was sitting down in hopes of some of that now - early, as always - in one of the Manor's apparently inexhaustible supply of formal rooms. He hadn't yet turned down one of Narcissa's invitations, and saw no reason to start now. She was better than anyone else lurking around this house, even with her regrettable manipulative tendencies ... and she enjoyed disparaging her other house guests about as much as he did. It helped, of course, that he had little else to do. He sat with his book and waited for her, leaving the tea things untouched.
