Lucius Malfoy is having a problem he did not imagine to find himself in; he has no idea what to do on his day off, thus having to ask a rather unlikely person for advice.

This story is based on Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, written by Less Wrong, and thus contains major spoilers. To describe it in the best way, it deals with Harry's father Professor Verres-Evans and his unorthodox way of dealing with his son being in danger.
