#13—Quidditch

“Father, I need to get on the Quidditch team. Potter’s been on a year already and Slytherin needs a new Seeker.”

“Dumbledore doesn’t bend the rules for the right people. Perhaps a gift to the team would suffice.”

“Lucius, don’t you think Draco should at least try out for the team? It looks like you’re buying—”

“Shut up, Narcissa. The team could do with better brooms and Draco’s a natural athlete. You’ve kept him out of Durmstrang. Don’t keep him away from this.”

Lucius’ eyes alone told Narcissa to leave it be. She hated his demented idea of fathering.
