Thread: Climbing the Corporate Ladder (SlytherinDesires x Moon Struck Fox)

Draco honestly hadn't noticed the new clipboard, but he had noticed how much smoother life was going with Lillianna as his P.A. even Pansy wasn't this good. of course, Pansy hadn't been scared of Draco and had often flirted with any man and woman come her direction. which left her not working. Lillianna didn't do that, sure she took breaks as any good employee would, but she didn't spend two hours on the phone talking about fashion. he pushed those thoughts aside and focused on what was happening with the Ball, where was that form? there it was, right where it needed to be. he usually just hired a crew to get everything set up, the same crew every year. and just like every year, they simply started on their own when they didn't hear from Draco, so the Ball was well in place. he didn't have to worry about that, it was the guest list he had to focus on. all the children of St. Mungo's long term ward was, of course, going to be included there was no doubt about that. any adult staying long term was welcome as well, as was the staff, those not pulling emergency shift anyway. it was the prestigious he needed to contend with. he looked up at her, his head tilted at her. good! it will be your task to keep the money grubbing Harpies away from me. he decided with a nod as he worked on the guest list. each person could bring their immediate families of course, so Susan Bones would be bringing her husband, Neville, which was good because he wanted to speak to Longbottom about getting in with his greenhouses for higher quality potions ingredients. he would be inviting the Lovegoods too of course, they came every year without fail, because Lionus Lovegood was a permanent ward of the Janus Thickey ward for the insane. poor man, his already shaky sanity had snapped during his stay under Malfoy Manor. Draco payed every knut of his doctors bills as a self imposed penance. her husband, Collin Creevy would be welcome of course, as would their children. Colin would be offered the chance to take all the pictures. he'd made a very rich living as a personal photographer for weddings, birthdays, and parties as well as graduations and other such things. Granger would of course be invited, simply because she had helped his Muggle Department so much, she was always invited to Malfoy Parties. mostly because she didn't piss him off... course, she probobly would come because Ronald Weasley was her husband and he was a dick Head Auror who hated Draco's guts. Granger could have made a grand name for herself and instead she married that lanky oaf. as always he'd sent an invitation to Harry bloody Potter simply because it would be rude not to. he never came either. an invite to Blaise and his wife, some French Tart of a Veela. Theo and his wife, Daphne, the Minister and the higher Echelon there. all the members of the Wizengamot had to be invited for politeness sake... the Patil's and the Chang's... god, he was getting a headache. he would, of course, have to invite George, Bill, Charley, Percy and Arthur Weasley... they never showed up either. he looked up at Lilli as she came back in and he nodded. thank you. he stated, picking up the packaged foods. i'm sure Scorpius will appreciate it. he's a delicate stomach and most of Hogwarts food is a little too rich for him. he admitted, peering into the cartons looking quite happy with her decision. he vanished out the door to go and get his son, leaving her in charge with a few simply instructions to just get the paperwork set up and he'd take care of it when he got back and to check on the Warding Department. he was back two hours later with his son Scorpius in tow, looking like he was going to explode he was so furious. sit here... Draco ordered, gently settling his son into a chair, Scorpius rolling his eyes. he was a very handsome child. nothing like Draco had been at that age. YOU! HOWLER PAPER NOW! AND TEN GET OUT! he demanded of Lily, his fine control of his temper too lost to control himself now that he was out of sight of his son. he took the paper and glared at her until she got out and the door slammed shut... that's when Draco started screaming at the Howler, not that it would make it any more effective, but it made him feel better. Sorry. Scorpius stated, glancing at Lilli. My Father is just really upset. i had a cracked sternum. he explained. he's furious that the... here he cleared his throat awkwardly. well. i'm pretty sure i'm not allowed to repeat what he called Madam Marshweather. he admitted quite sheepishly. Skelegrow is really nasty, did you know? well, Scorpius was a very polite young man at least. Scorpius .
