It was still just a little strange to have someone she'd known so briefly so close to her, especially after what she'd so recently discussed with Regulus, but she took the familial gesture with a small smile. She wondered if he and Draco had been in increasing contact since she'd mentioned it to her nephew.
"Quite well," she replied, bordering on optimism. With a slightly raised brow, she went on, "And you? Your latest mention in the Prophet seemed to go over well."
She'd never been terribly fond of observing all pleasantries, especially not with family. Given Draco's level of cooperation on this, she was starting to think he might truly be able to overcome his own personal hurdles regarding her. That was, of course, assuming everything had gone well.
