Lyra only nodded along, listening as he talked of Emmery having so much more than his sister. Honestly she thought it was the most sensible thing Draco had said so far on the matter.
Lucius would be all but tearing his hair out by the time they got home and this conversation was repeated in any form of detail where he could hear it -- realizing he had another seven years of this rehashing to look forward to, realizing he would never know peace.
Meanwhile, that was all likely hours away. In the now here was Lyra, failing to notice her brother was silently laughing at her, even as she attuned keenly to his offer.
"They may not have to know, but they will notice if I haven't enough room for supper," she said sagely, but that didn't stop her from ordering some cakes and a plate of tea sandwiches along with a pot of redbush tea, sweeter and flavored with strawberry. Any child of eleven would be hungry after the long ride in on the train from Scotland - doubly so when spending the whole ride excited to spend time with one's friends and talking to make up for the absence that would soon happen over the holiday.
