Summary: Draco perceives an opportunity.
Completion: Complete
Ten kinds of hell had broken loose at the Minister's official statement. There were those that supported him, those that opposed him and those that had been rendered speechless with shock. And then there was Draco.
He didn't even waste time in feeling shocked or in that case vindicated that he wasn't losing his mind. Draco realized that while everyone else seems to be willing to run around like half-wits, he had a golden opportunity. He had had some time to process this, due to his unwittingly witnessing the Dark's Lord arrest, and Draco knew that this could be a break.
An opportunity to do something more then just file. What kind of Malfoy would he be if he didn't use an opportunity that had been practically handed to him? And in order to utilize this, he needed to be on the in. Which meant getting to the Minister and ensuring his place on the Taskforce.
Draco felt confident that he could accomplish this. He was a born arguer.
Some of the lethargy that had settled in these past few weeks seemed to lift. He had a plan. He was going to do something about his situation, rather then sitting around and waiting, like he had been doing for weeks. Draco couldn't believe he had sunk so low.
Draco made his way briskly to the Minister's office. He would have simply walked in but he new following protocol would serve as a good impression. He smiled politely at Kingsley's assistant, ignoring the fact that she failed greet him in return.
