Aubin was the sort of man who liked to hear the sound of his own voice. If any further proof was needed that he was Lucius Malfoy's younger brother, that would certainly help the case. Merlin and all of the Knights of the Round Table knew that when Lucius was in his cups, he couldn't shut up and those days he was always in his cups. Hermione only half-listened to the man's speech as she tried not to make it obvious she was staring at the discarded robes in the middle of the floor. She would have to move very quickly if she wanted to get her wand out of the pocket before either of them could stop her. Twenty years as a Death Eater and then years before that fighting on the other side gave her somewhat of an advantage to those that stayed on the outskirts of the action.
