"Marvelous. I'm glad to hear it." And she seemed polite enough, at first blush. Lucius turned his smile on Draco for a moment. "I believe dinner's at eight. That ought to be time enough to see most of it, I expect. Mind the perimeter, if you're going flying; there isn't quite as much space as at home. - We're a bit rustic here," he said to Astoria, "But I hope you'll find everything to your satisfaction. If you need anything at all, the elves are, of course, at your disposal - and I'm at your service." He shouldn't have been quite as pleased as he was to hear that Draco intended them to disappear almost as soon as they'd walked in the door - and part of him did want to sit and chat long enough to get a better feel for the girl. But perhaps by dinnertime he'd be less preoccupied.
