"You're too caught up in this obsessive dislike," Lucius sneered. "It is a weakness, and the Dark Lord will prey on it. You must be prepared."

"But why would he prey on us?" Draco asked, his eyes showing all of his twelve-year-old naivety.

Lucius sighed, rubbing his temples. "You do not use only the weaknesses of your enemies to your advantage, Draco."

"You told me something similar before I left for Hogwarts," Draco said, nodding.

"To make you strong," Lucius said. "Make me proud."
