Who: Zacharias Smith and Draco Malfoy.
When: August 24th. 3pm.
Where: Diamond.
What: Discussing Theodore.
Rating: Low.
Status: Complete/Closed.

During their school days, Zacharias and Draco hadn't exactly been friends. Oh they knew each other, as their families ran in the same circles. But their Houses made them clash - as did their personalities. However, after school, after the War - after so many things (and maybe a little bit of growing up as well) they settled into a friendship.

And if anyone knew about Theodore, it was Draco. Zacharias was quite concerned for his friend, who looked so small and skinny and vulnerable - and lost. And so he and Draco were meeting to discuss Theodore, and his release, and why he would be staying with Goyle of all people. Zacharias's memories of Goyle and Crabbe were of two hulking clods who tapped into Draco's brain due to the lack of their own. However Draco had alluded to the fact there was more to Goyle now.

He arrived at Diamond just a few minutes before three, sweeping into the elite bar. He had no problem getting in, of course, and had been there several times before. He requested a private room and told them to guide Draco Malfoy there when he arrived.

He did not need to describe or explain who Draco was. Oh course.

Ordering a glass of firewhiskey, he slid into a seat and sipped the smoking drink as he waited.

"Well you've been smart to do so," Zacharias said, and he was complimenting Draco. He respected the fact that Draco had had the foresight to do something, to set this all in motions.

"It's awful, seeing him like that," he admitted, shaking his head a little bit. He had realized that Theodore was in St. Mungo's of course... but to actually see him as he was, that was sad.

Draco nodded. He'd told Smith he tried to come in every few weeks, What he hadn't said, what only the attendants at the hospital knew, was that he had been doing so for as long as Nott had been a patient there.

"He injures himself, more often than not. He can be quite ... jumpy. I doubt many of his injures from the staff have been on purpose, but I still have them fired."

"I can see how he would. He was quite erratic when I visited him," Zacharias murmured. Calm one moment and then raging and pacing the next. "Though I can see how one without patience might strike him." If Theodore threw something or did something startling or odd.

"This... could be good for him? He could be taken for walks. Maybe even see the thestrals again." As he kept walking about them. And the school had some, didn't it? Or access to them at least.

He abandoned his drink then, leaning forward a bit. "I know you have this well in control, and have Goyle and Snape as well. But if there's anything I can do, do let me know."

"Yes, well, patience ought to be a bit part in their job descriptions, at least." Though Draco had the sinking suspicion that most orderlies and mediwizards were squibs and Hufflepuffs.

"It should be better for him than Mungo's, at least. I don't suspect he'll need much more looking after than those two would provide." And for the life of him, Draco had no idea what help Smith could offer.

"No, likely not," Zacharias agreed. Theodore would be in good hands. "But nonetheless, the offer stands." Incase something was ever required.

He remembered his drink and took the last swallow, leaving only the residue slipping down the sides of the glass to pool in the bottom. "Well, I appreciate being filled in. Once he's settled, I plan to visit him again. When is convenient for Goyle." Since it was his home and all. Zacharias rose to his feet.

"And I am sure we'll cross paths soon enough." That was what came of running in similar social circles.

"You'll need Snape's permission to be on the grounds," Draco pointed out. The protections at Hogwarts were one of the reasons he was glad he'd been allowed to stick Nott there rather than somewhere more public, in case there was some outcry.

Draco watched Smith rise, and looked at his own empty glass before sighing distractedly and standing too. "I'm sure," he said, not really indicating that he was looking forward, or not, to the eventuality.

	"I'll contact him as well, then," Zacharias said with a nod of his head. He would do things by the book. Because Nott's security and safety was a concern to him as well. Amusement tickled the corners of his mouth before he bid Draco goodbye and slipped from the room to depart the exclusive club. (Reply to this) (Parent)
