A few cracks followed and immediately the room was filled with a party of noisy witches and wizards who came to greet Granger. Draco could recognise their faces. Potter, the Weasleys, lunatic Luna Lovegood and her fiancé Rolf Scamander, and Cormac McLaggen, a Gryffindor who went to Slug Club because Tiberius, McLaggen’s uncle, was very close to the Minister of Magic at the time. Draco despised him back then, though he himself often talked about his own family, McLaggen was merely a half-blood and was overly boastful about his family’s ties with Rufus Scrimgeour. The worst part was Scrimgeour was not an efficient Minister. The hypocrite was obsessed with making Potter the symbol of the Ministry.
