Christmas with Lucius

Harry freed himself from his devoted friends and approached the Greengrass couple.
“Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Greengrass. I am very happy to see you both again. .I hope you have a pleasant holiday? "
Ariel, of course, was immediately taken with the young man.
“What a polite young man you are. Yes, our family is having a wonderful time together, thank you for asking. .I hope you are well too? "
"Always that stilted language," Draco could be heard muttering in the background.
Harry ignored his friend and answered in the affirmative, then spoke briefly to Antonius Greengrass.
.“Don't even pay attention to our son, if he starts like that then he's just impatient,” the man confided to the green-eyed man.
“I understand that very well. Dad is really telling us the rules of etiquette right now. .we are already dreaming of it. I guess Draco just wanted a break, ”Harry defended his friend.
Antonius and Ariel smiled and then agreed.
.of course Severus and Sirius insisted on greeting the couple very politely. And they worked hard right away.
"They all just want to annoy me," Draco grumbled.
"Of course," Astoria agreed.
."You shouldn't have shown that you mind," grinned Daphne.
"Right, our parents love playing with etiquette," Draco smiled now too.
.that was very different from Narcissa, she would never have been joking, no matter what. This woman was always so completely correct that her son often thought he was choking on it. Well, it wasn't that correct after all, as it turned out.

.in the meantime the elves had ushered in the other two guests.
"Hagrid, Percy?" The youngsters marveled.
"This surprise seems to have been a success," said Lucius happily.
.the two guests entered the room and were also greeted warmly.
Hagrid was a bit awkward about it, the man didn't feel right at home in upscale company. .that was because, as a half-giant, he had always had to contend with prejudice in the past.
But nobody took offense at his insecurity. Everyone in the room knew how difficult it was as a magical being in this society. .even now, with the new laws, but it would get better, everyone agreed.
Percy, on the other hand, showed perfect manners.
"He clearly didn't get that from his parents," whispered Daphne.
.unfortunately it was not quiet enough, you could hear the girl very well.
"Daphne!" This time Ariel was far from amused.
The girl also instantly blushed and apologized to Percy.
“Oh what, it's not that wild. .after all, you're telling the truth. We all learned a lot from our parents, but none of it is useful. "
The young man didn't seem offended at all, he even smiled at Daphne.

.the embarrassment did not last long. Lucius was a born host, he poured everyone something to drink. Of course, the children did not get any alcohol.
After a short chat, one of the house-elves came into the room and asked to be seated.
.“Thank you, Tobsy, we'll be right away,” the host led the group into the dining room.
The menu was as expected from a Malfoy, excellent. The house-elves really gave it their all, or at least that was how it seemed to the guests.
.Lucius received praise for the work of the little helpers and the elves themselves were also given words of thanks.
"How long have your elves been wearing clothes?" Draco asked, puzzled.
.he had noticed this when he arrived, but he hadn't gotten to ask about it yet.
“Harry gave me this idea. I was invited to Grimmauldplatz yesterday. And that's when I saw Kreacher wearing clothes. .work clothes, as I learned. I liked the idea very much. I've spoken to my elves and they were excited about the suggestion too. .actually stupid that I didn't think of it myself, "said Lucius.
"You brought in so much clothes in those few hours, how did you manage that?" Sirius wanted to know.
.“With magic, for a start these are just transformed pillowcases and logs for the shoes. But I'll call a tailor after the holidays. I want my employees to be well looked after. "
.harry smiled quietly to himself. He was incredibly proud that the blonde had implemented his idea so readily.
.Ariel and Antonius were also very impressed by the idea that elves would no longer run around in silly pillowcases or tea towels. They resolved to speak to their servants as well.
."It is embarrassing that we have never thought about it until now," said Antonius.
