ATTN: DRACO MALFOY.

Malfoy, as thrilling and entertaining as your publicly private thoughts no doubt are to you and the rest of Wizarding Britain, I'm afraid that I must interrupt. Sebastian Bole and I have a meeting with five German delegates tomorrow morning at eight AM, sharp, and certain requests must be attended to before then.

First: We will need you to clean up Ministry meeting room number seven from the retirement party we had for one of our colleagues on Friday. Whichever janitor was assigned to do so has done quite the unsatisfactory job. If I cannot see my reflection in the table, there will be repercussions.

Second: Pastries are an absolute necessity, as per the request of Herr Lehmann; additionally, he has requested that you fetch them from a Muggle shop called König's, which is located in southern Greenwich. Given its distance from the Ministry and your present circumstances, you will either be walking quite a distance, or you will be taking the Muggle "Tube." Given that König's does not open until six-thirty, might I suggest the "Tube?" Part of the order has already been placed in my name, but, in addition to it, we will need a basket of chocolate-filled croissants, seven apple-raisin strudels, an order of the cinnamon crumb coffee cake, and a large, chocolate chip danish. They'd best still be warm when the meeting starts; Frau Vogel will not stand for cold pastries. Additionally, it has been requested that fresh oranges and strawberries be included with the pastries, and do take care to split the oranges. Do try to make the presentation as aesthetically pleasing as possible.

Third: Drinks are most certainly in order, and all may be purchased from that lovely cafe in Diagon Alley. Frau Vogel will take a large jasmine and mint tea, loose leaf only. Herr Lehmann requests the biggest black coffee money can buy and he prefers it practically boiling, Herr Krause wishes for a medium honey latte with soy milk and a shot of chocolate hold the whipped cream and he will take it lukewarm, Herr Köhler will take a large iced peppermint white chocolate mocha with extra whipped cream and neither sauce nor sprinklings on top, and Herr Schultze will take an iced cafe au lait with a shot of hazelnut syrup. Sebastian requests a double mocha latte with skim, a triple shot of espresso, and no foam with chocolate shavings on top; he also requests that it be hot enough to scald when he gets it. As for myself, I will take a hot chocolate with shots of espresso (one shot), peppermint syrup (two shots), and strawberry syrup (one shot); hold the whipped cream, keep the chocolate drizzle. Make sure that a pot of scalding tea is also available; the delegates have requested for Darjeeling White, loose leaf, flavored with a pinch of sugar and oil of wintergreen -- do not include too much sugar, for Herr Lehmann is incredibly sensitive to its taste.

Terribly sorry to intrude upon your brooding melancholy, but this is quite necessary, so get to it.

	It's not very nice to demand. Why not ask him instead? You know Draco, he doesn't take orders well. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Honestly, Adrian? Have I ever given you indication that I care about being "nice?" Additionally, we have every right to demand whatever we want of Draco, and all he is permitted to do without fear of consequences is continue to whinge like an abandoned, cranky puppy.

First off, he was a first year when I was a seventh, and, as such, my concern for him only extended to the times when he saw fit to run complaining to the Head Boy, meaning me. Second, no. No, I did not. I still don't, and his current unpopularity rather delights me, to be honest. He is a spoiled, whinging little brat who wasn't told "No" enough as a child and, as such, assumes that everyone will always kowtow to his ridiculous delusions of importance and superiority, which I call "delusions" on the grounds that he is, in fact, nothing more than an overgrown five-year-old that thinks too much of himself. Third, just because some people from our House can be bought and sold like clothing and meat does not mean that we are entirely without integrity. It happens to be in the form of myself and perhaps a few others, but it is still there.

	I guess I never did pay much attention. And you're right, he does whine, I never really noticed until recently, actually. I just meant that it may be better to just ask, you know. It'd get it done alot quicker, I'm sure. (Reply to this) (Parent)
