Not at all, Miss Clearwater. Had you not been helpful, rest assured I should not have said otherwise.
Mr Malfoy has been, on the whole, more pleased with Mr Weasley than he cares to let on. Especially early in a new employee's tenure, he never likes to praise too highly lest it set a low standard.
If I were you, though, dear, I should remind him that Mr Hooper's chief fault was complacency. Don't let him think that because Mr Malfoy is pleased, he has secured his position. I should also take note of Mr Hooper's fate - your Mr Weasley is subject to privileged information and as such ought to take care with his person so that he, too, does not become a target to Our Lord's enemies.
