I understand from what you've told me that your world is a civilian one, with little conflict. This is not a place for you or your mother to complete your education under protection.

You come from a sheltered world, Draco, so I'll explain this to you. Your family is probably accustomed to civilian society, where what people of power do is complain about each other and jostle for position. [At least that's all Sasuke has seen civilian leaders do; that and hide behind hired muscle as soon as the jostling gets too risky.] This is a place where we've been attacked in our own minds. It must be treated as a war.
That means the chain of command must be followed. I don't care if you disagree with a decision I've made. Bring it up with me once the issue at hand is resolved, regardless of the degree of threat.
