The Unlikely Day Remus Lupin Went To Visit Malfoy Mansion
It was a very unlikely thing to do for Remus Lupin, but he needed to pay a visit to Malfoy Mansion, to have a talk about Draco's result. His results were, to put it in one word, abysmal. And Lupin had the unpleasant task to tell his parents.
Lucius Malfoy opened the door personally, since the Malfoys no longer had a House Elf.
'Welcome,' he drawled, leaning on the doorpost, dressed in a morning coat with panther design. Apparently, this was tastefulness, according to Lucius.
'Thank you,' said Lupin, doubting whether he really was, but still entering.
Lucius led him to a room upstairs, which was so obviously NOT his study.
'So sorry, I still need to clear up this mess before my wife comes home,' he drawled, indicating several young, undressed women on a large four- poster.
'That's okay, take your time,' said Lupin, blushing and looking away.
It took Lucius some time to direct the women back into their cages, since some of them didn't speak any English, but, Lucius ensured Lupin, 'That's not a bother, since I didn't buy them to talk.'
'Sooo,' drawled Lucius, 'what can I do for you? Would you like a tour round the house?'
'Eh,' said Lupin, and Lucius took him by the arm, saying, 'Of course you would. I knew it.' Lupin felt increasingly uncomfortable.
Lucius showed Lupin several large rooms, opening the doors, popping his head round the corner and saying what room it was, not leaving Lupin any time to have a look.
At last, Lupin was able to slip in through the gap between Lucius and the doorpost.
'What's this?' he asked immediately, pointing at a rather strange umbrella- hanger, which was currently holding Lucius's cane and looked like an odd man with long hair and a shirt with many frills.
'That is so NOT Laurence Llewelyn Bowen,' said Lucius, jumping before the odd man. 'I so NOT Stunned him when he came to re-decorate my playroom.'
'Right,' said Lupin slowly, deciding it was time to go. 'Thank you very much for this grand tour of Malfoy Mansion. I'll show myself out, if you don't mind.'
Lupin only stopped running when his sides were stitching and he'd made the distance between him and Lucius Malfoy some three miles.
