"Fair enough, but these "polite games" as you call it, will be very useful in a few years. I don't know exactly what you're after, but if it's any sort of power, being able to work among the Purebloods will be imperative. I can teach you how to speak to them, get their support, and more importantly, their protection behind you. I'm assuming you are smart enough to learn from the mistakes Voldemort made the last time, correct?"
