Power, money, status. All you need.

If you have usable power, everything else generally follows from it.

I can do without one thing.

Marriage.

I'm not ready for it.

Then, and here's a crazy notion, don't get married.

And disappoint my father more than I've already disappointed him by joining the Ministry?

Probably.

My apologies; I forgot your father was the one with the power in this situation.

I can do without your sarcasm this early in the morning, Blaise.

I'm not sure I can do without sarcasm, though. I might be forced to be nice to people, and then where would we all be?

You're welcome to play nice in my hell. This Ministry business is brilliant.

Do tell.

A typical week involves sorting through complaints letters and Muggle artifacts, drafting out letters and occasionally seeing sunshine.

You can see why I'm reconsidering my father's offer to join his company. But father is insisting I marry and provide him with an heir. This is a problem.

Aren't you his heir? Perhaps he's planning to disown you as soon as your dear wife has popped out a son. Is he picking women out for you too?

...well, that's bleeding stupid.

Admirable sentiments.

Bollocks.

Think you're funny, Blaise. You know what I meant. I don't wish for a child anymore than I wish for Potter to be the golden boy at the Ministry.

What have you been up to anyways?

Watch your mouth. How dare you speak to me like that.

Naturally. But I don't particularly care for your brand of appraisal.

You would know all about failing to acquire all three.

*sigh* Spoken like a Malfoy.

It is! It's a stupid thing to say.

I honestly can't tell you, which in itself actually answers the question, making the whole secrecy thing rather moot, all told.

Why is that?

Oh really? What would you know? I do have money and that's none of your buisiness.

Don't you have a life out of work?

What do you know? You're just a punk of a kid whose in need of some proper manners. Probably a Muggle whose father has neglected to teach you.
