Snape had tasked Draco with finding the mudbloods wands. Of course, Draco had no sodding clue how to go about doing that, but he had been able to glean some information. The new High Inquisitor wasn't always as guarded as someone in his position really ought to be, and Draco had been practicing both is Legilimency and Occlumency since the Death Eaters had descended. One was a necessity, of course - he had to keep himself guarded at all times, in case one of his brothers went to take a closer look - but the other was proving more useful, so far.

He knew, for instance, that the wands were being kept somewhere in the dungeons. Somewhere with limited access. And he knew for certain they were not being kept in the High Inquisitor's office - which would have been the most logical place. Still, it felt a bit like looking for a wand in a pile of fallen branches, and Draco forced himself to make a pretense of looking for people out after curfew while he searched the hallways for secret doors, or things that seemed out of place.

"Or very early." he said, almost playful if it wasn't for the utter lack of tone with which he'd said that. Sure Draco was a prefect, etc, etc, but Theo wasn't concerned about his being caught. He would have been pleased to know that Draco saw him as harmless, even more so to know that the way he spoke similarly disarmed people.

He wasn't into brutal frontal attacks or vicious backstabbing ones the way his father was; he played in ambiguity and unknown reference and waited and planned.

He watched Draco with minimal interest but didn't seem to want to say anything more than that.

	"Any particular reason?" Draco absently brushed dust that wasn't there from his prefect's badge and put on a smirk that he didn't particularly feel. He'd rather Nott go on his way so that he could keep searching... "I have to ask, you know." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"How very peculiar." Theo said in response to that. "Compulsion? Or some kind of modified Imperio? And I dare say there is." Technically he'd answered the question - he'd used the same tactics under his father's 'amusing' use of veritaserum. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That would explain why I attend the meetings even though they bore me to tears," Draco rolled his eyes, but his smirk spread out a little sharper. "You don't suppose I could blame the previous administration?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm sure you could do, though I don't see why you would, it wouldn't make it so." Theo said, leaning back against the wall facing Draco. The smirk reminded him of a time that seemed centuries ago, before he was quite so withdrawn and Draco was happier. Maybe he'd been happier too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, I don't know, it might help a bit. Mae us feel a bit more useful?" Draco shrugged absently, then he leaned back more comfortably against the wall. "Were you out for a particular reason?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I suppose there are school of thought that say your value lies in your usefulness." Theo said, pondering. "But I don't put any stock in them personally. And no, no particular reason. Yourself?" Now he was just being cheeky. (Reply to this) (Parent)
