But I feel that a simple phone message would suffice 
                              
Whither should they come?
                              
THEODORE NOTT
                              
Up to the manor! For a masquerade! 
                              
HARRY
                              
Whither?
                              
THEODORE NOTT
                              
To supper; at the house!
                              
HARRY
                              
Sir? Whose house?
                              
THEODORE NOTT
                              
My boss's.
                              
HARRY
                              
Indeed, I should have ask'd you that before. Whose house?
                              
THEODORE NOTT
                              
Now I'll tell you without asking: my boss is the great
                              
Prime Minister Lucius Malfoy; and if you be not a magician
                              
Or a friend of the Potters, I pray, come and enjoy the celebration! 
                              
It may turn out to be an engagement party for his son!

At this same manor of Lucius Malfoy's,
                              
Sups the fair number of men, whom thou so lovest,
                              
With all the admired beauties of London:
                              
Go thither; and, with unattainted eye,
                              
Compare their faces and find one that you likes,
                              
And I will make thee think thy has a chance at love.
                              
HARRY
                              
When a beauty becomes affixed in mine eye
                              
I cry with happy relief, but I'll believe it not;
                              
For those who often dream, never see it come true.
                              
One fair and strong of mind! It's the all-seeing sun!
                              
RON
                              
Tut, you will find one fair, I guarantee it!
                              
HARRY
                              
Ne'er will find such a match, especially with a new war beginning. 
                              
Did thee hear that it was at the Malfoy manor? 
                              
RON
                              
Aye. Tis matters not. We will go,
                              
If only to disrupt the festivities of that muggle
                              
You should have heard that police captain today... they hate us
                              
But if we can humiliate the Prime Minister's son, we must go,
                              
He's probably a git! I hear that it is the Duchess is after him
                              
He'll be inline for the throne! Malfoys are greedy bastards!
                              
HARRY
                              
We should not poke a sleeping dragon.
                              
RON
                              
Aye. That I will show you at this shining feast, 
                              
Maybe we should abduct him and ransom him back to his dad?
                              
HARRY
                              
You are joking? Right? We cann't seek trouble. You heard the law!
                              
RON
                              
You shall see, Chosen One. It only matters if we get caught. 
                              
I'll meet you at Hermione's house later with the guys
                              
HARRY
                              
[Aside] Great... now I'll have to go just to keep Ron out of trouble.
