...why did Draco come with them? The only reason I can think of is that Holly needed somebody to identify who the minister was (as Ron did). I mean, if Draco thinks so little of Hagrid, why would he decide to just arbitrarily dash in with them for a visit?
And oh. Oh my god. How is.. I mean...
Why do she think "It's all an act" constitutes as a legitimate excuse?
Is Lucius so deep into pretending he's a total asshole that he can't let his apparently warm and fuzzy side come out? Why would he pretend to be a total asshole if he could get whatever he wanted with his apparently abundant wit and charm? He's fundamentally an awful human being; he gave a little girl a very dangerous object with full knowledge that it would, one way or another, result in massive damage to the Muggle population of Hogwarts and result in bad publicity for Dumbledore. The only thing that makes him remotely redeemable is that he genuinely loved his son.
So in this sap-fest, when he's apparently A Really Nice Guy, why does he still pour on the sarcasm and sneering it makes no sense do you not understand how ACTUAL PEOPLE WORK.
