There was no business for the children to be up by this time of the night.
Yet, Darcie and Draco both were up, sitting on the same sofa within the Drawing room. Darcie hadn't gone to sleep, and Draco had been woken up when their father arrived some 15 minutes ago.
Her mother's voice was still as sharp and full of fury as it was then.
"See!" they heard her. "I told you not to let her have her way with this library and all. Oh, Lucius! You must have listened to her in the evening..."
"Are you really going?" Draco asked meekly, looking towards their parents' bedchamber. "Mother won't let you, I know."
Suddenly, the pitch and red fury in their mother's voice rose.
"How dare you suggest that?!" their mother shrieked. "Have you been confunded?"
The children shared a glance. Their father didn't like this word.
