One of those enemies is Draco "Rather-a-Wally" Malfoy. He'd be against me no matter what, thanks to his "pure-blood" fixation. He struts around the school, arrogant, overconfident, and oh, so easy to get around. Thanks to his overconfidence and his big, flapping mouth, I can always outmanouvre him. He's never figured out that except for Snape, most of the teachers think he's a prat, and he doesn't seem to have any really useful friends. That shower of Slytherins he leads couldn't arrange a brawl in a waterfront pub---unlike my lot. Also, as their acknowledged leader, he's got his neck on the chopping-block for anything they do. Or anything that others think they have done, if you know what I mean; a well-placed Imperius Curse, followed by Obliviation of the fact that the Imperius was ever in place, can be so useful. Frankly, if this is the sort of people the Death Eaters recruited, I can't see why they were such a big, bad problem.
