OWLS Meeting, Dungate House, London (lecture and questions)
An older man moved to the podium on the dais at the front of the ballroom. His hands looked as if they were covered in parchment and he seemed old even for a wizard.
"Welcome, members and guests, to the eighty-third consecutive monthly meeting of the Old Wizarding Literary Society. I see that tonight's very exciting topic has induced several of our members to bring along guests. Our guests are encouraged to discover more of our charitable and educational missions and, if they meet our qualifications, put themselves forward as candidates for membership. The great causes of our time have always been tied to our literary endeavors." If it is not obvious by his words that he has offered a tremendous favor to the guests, his tone and demeanour make perfectly clear. Those who have attended prior OWLS meetings have heard this speech before.
"Our guest this evening is a young man much in the news of late, who was involved in the recapture of an escaped murderess from Azkaban. He has not written of this endeavour, but given his father's literary successes, it is not out of the question. The speakers committee presents our honored guest, Draco Malfoy."
Thatch led the applause and waited for Draco to come to the podium.
