Philo liked his niece Astoria well enough, and of course was quite fond of Scorpius, but he really didn't come to Malfoy Manor that often. In fact, the only reason he came that day was that the last time he was there a month ago, he had left an important book there. And it was only that day that he discovered he had done so as he needed it as a reference for the book he was working on. The joys of being old.
He was smoking his pipe as he approached and knocked on the door. A House Elf answered.
"Ooooh, Master Philo," said the elf.
"I'm not your master, you silly elf," said Philo with no actual anger or annoyance in his voice. He had always hated the fact that so many used elves for near slave-like household servants. When his brother left him one, he had presented the elf clothes the day the creature arrived. "Is my niece or my grandnephew home?" He already knew Draco was at the Ministry.
"No, sir, Mas... Mister Philo," said the elf. "May I get you a cup of tea while you wait?"
"No thank you," he said. "I'll just wait at the gazebo and smoke my pipe." He then turned and made his way to the gazebo. He probably wouldn't wait long. If worse came to worse, he could purchase another copy of the book.
