Lucius stretches out a hand. Light flickers on his expensive rings and just barely highlights the contours of his black velvet robes. The man in front of him is Amos Diggory, but ideally this should seem to be just a chance encounter - one that has nothing to do with Dion's run-in with the Ministry's rules on Crups. Really, truly nonsense that one was expected to proactively save Muggles from animals that rightfully hated them. One can't expect magical creatures to behave all the time. Wizards included in that.
"Lucius Malfoy," Lucius says, flashing teeth as bright as his rings and gold collar. He looks around as if this is his first time at the Ministry, which is of course it isn't. "Do you work for the Department for the Control of Magical Creatures?"
