Ok here is chapter 4, don't own Harry Potter ect. enjoy!

Hi, I'm stupid and Short
"And today we shall go over our- Yes Lucius?"

The meeting had started out fine, nothing that outrageous had happened. Only the occasional snicker would erupt but he dismissed it as usual. Fudge was not a man quick to anger, or so he liked to think. Though the Malfoys always pushed his buttons and always would.

"You are aware sir that there is a "kick me" sign taped to your robe?" Lucius said as another wave of snickers went through the room. Fudge went turnip purple as he attempted to rip the sign off. Of course the person (coughDracocough) who had placed it on his back had placed it in such a spot that he wasn't able to reach. He finally resigned and asked the nearest person for help, who took it off and placed a new one on in one movement. The new sign read 'Hi, I'm stupid and short' this time full laughter went through the room.

"You will all shut up and pay attention!" Fudge screamed, trying to gain control of the meeting, he failed… miserably.

"Come now gentlemen, we really should be moving on, it would be polite of us to ah… excuse the minister's, ahem, short comings." Lucius said, again a gale of laughter went through the room as the men and women tried to compose themselves.

As of late a lot of hate for the minister had been surfacing. People who normally wouldn't take part in a prank on the short-tempered man where now willing advocates and played ones regularly on him. Fudge new in his mind that he was slowly loosing control of the ministry.

"Hem, hem." A crude voice suddenly broke through the noise. Draco went pale and quickly ducked in his seat, trying to hide behind his father's large stack of books. Lucius blinked slowly and looked at his son with a raised eyebrow but new better than to reprimand him.

"Hello minister." The lady who had just entered said in a sickly sweet voice.

"Why Hello Umbridge, I am glad you have arrived, would you please take a seat." Fudge said as he turned back to the presentation about the latest budget cuts.

"Sir, you are aware that there is a sign on your back that reads "Hi I'm stupid and short."" She asked, he voice still sweet, though she cast a glower in Lucius's direction.

Fudge also glared at the flaxen haired man and ripped the sign off and deposited it in the nearest trashcan.

No one said anything though there was a bunch of amused faces sitting around the table, everyone new better than to say anything when Umbridge was around.

"Anyway, as I was saying before I was interrupted, Lucius would you kindly have your son sit up properly please?" The minister said curtly. Lucius turned to Draco with a questioning look.

"Have you found your pencil yet?" He asked as Draco slid back up.

"Hm? Oh yes I have." He said as he sat up and proceeded to avoid Umbridge's withering gaze.

Fudge scowled but decided that he would humiliate Lucius at another time and proceeded on with the presentation.

By the end of the meeting everyone was half asleep and hungry, never a good mix.

"You done yet?" Someone barked from the edge of the table. Fudge scowled and turned towards the man all the while trying to ignore the pieces of paper being constantly flicked at him.

"No I am not Johnson and you will cease to call out rude and sarcastic remarks if you value your job!"

Johnson gave Fudge a bored look and shrugged, not really caring what the man did to him- he was a close friend of the Malfoy's which is insurance in itself.

"Anyway, the department of mysteries will receive full funding this year-"

"For once…" Someone muttered, Fudge scowled but continued.

"Foreign Affairs will be down by a 1/3, and the department of mythical beasts will have their funding cut in half."

Fudge stopped to allow people to groan and complain loudly.

"Ok are you all done complaining? Good. Now the meeting is adjourned and Mr. Malfoy I would like you to wait as I need to speak with you." Lucius nodded and looked unconcerned as he packed his bags. Draco raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

"What the hell do you think you are trying to pull here Lucius?" Fudge spat bitterly as the last of the people headed out the all the while casting sympathetic glances in Lucius's direction.

"I have no idea what you are talking about sir." Lucius said stoically.

"No Idea? NO IDEA! The sign on the back the paper throwing the rude comments! Everything Lucius, what are you trying to do?" Fudge had neared screaming by this point.

"If I was up to something, and I can assure you I am not, I wouldn't tell you as that would be defeating my purpose now wouldn't it?" Lucius said coldly as he turned to leave, "I am going out to lunch with my family today so if you would excuse I need to go." With that Lucius turned and walked out of the room, Draco smirked at the minister and followed suite.
