Re: Draco and Lucius
"I always thought you'd do better as a Chaser, but the Seeker is where the glory lies much of the time," Lucius said. What went unsaid was that Lucius had always wanted Draco to follow in his own footsteps as a Chaser, though he'd been supportive of Draco's obsession with outdoing Potter as Seeker.
"I do appreciate that you don't have the same destructive tendencies as Potter, though. He's a maniac on a broom, isn't he?" Of course, Lucius thought that Potter was a maniac in many ways, Quidditch was only the latest in the long line of them. "Too bad he hadn't chosen Quidditch as a career. It would have solved many headaches."
