Geoff: To be pedantic, "Never tickle a sleeping dragon", a piece of 
information to be treated as seriously as "Never laugh at live 
dragons", a comment made by a slightly singed Bilbo Baggins.

Geoff:
Bear in mind that there /is/ friction between Draco and Lucius. The 
former is not at all happy with some of the criticisms and strictures 
directed at him in Burgin and Burkes.
