So, Draco. This Finch-Fletchley chap, is he all right? He seems a bit, well, as if he's trying awfully hard at being matey with everyone.
And I'm sure we're all surprised Weasley pounced straight away. Trying to get his hooks in first. When he knows Finch-Fletchley's your guest.
Haven't you warned him off letting that one chat him up?
When are you meeting him, Harry?
At any rate, we were thinking, Mother and I, about bringing something for him when we come tomorrow night. Something from the Protectorate. Is there anything he'd be especially keen to have? Mother's thinking along the lines of something Norman and historical, you know, and that's all well and good, but I want to get something he'd actually like. Mother's will just be something she's got stashed in a cupboard, and I'm sure it will be well impressive and something he can write a parchment about when he gets back to Beauxbatons, but that's hardly anything to get excited about.
What does he like? Besides Quidditch.
Say, I suppose the Ministry have got F-F's schedule all planned out, but it'd be snitch to take him to some of the New London places we like. The sort of places grownups wouldn't think of showing him. Is he staying on after the Cup, at all? Or does he have any time over the weekend we could show him around?

I think he's a little shy, besides. Warms up well enough if you give him time, though. He drinks wine with supper.

I don't think Father could say no, if I asked in front of everybody. And I don't know if he cares of course, he mightn't, he doesn't always.
