I'd say it's hard to believe that it would take very long at all before Malfoy shows his true colours, no matter how ingratiating he may try to be at first. He's sure to betray his own cruelty. Not that you'd want Percy to experience it first-hand, of course, but it'd be a rude awakening if he thinks he'll be able to beard the manticore in his den. But if he's already seen the price of failing that bastard, and he's still excited and eager to join the man's staff, well. Yeah. I think Molly's assessment yesterday wasn't too far off the mark.

Just watch yourselves, both of you. Bill, you too.
