Best thing to do when you're around people you don't trust is to talk less and listen more. Anyway, I expect people will be talking most about Quidditch, won't they?
I can see why your parents are worried about your brother Percy. I have to say, I don't like him very much. I know exactly what you mean about him acting like people smell bad. He was that way whenever Hermione or I were around him, and I haven't forgotten that time he sneered at her about having 'muddy hands.'
I've heard some of the stories that the git and his sister have told each other about Lucius Malfoy. He hides it, but he has a real vicious streak, and the git admires him for it. And the two of them, the git and his sister are maybe a little afraid of him, too, because he's so powerful. The git has mentioned that he likes to go sometimes and bash muggles. For sport. I'm not sure it's true, of course. The git lies to me a lot, and it sometimes isn't easy to sort out what's true and what isn't. But the man gives me the collywobbles, believe me. If he's someone your brother admires I can see why that would worry your parents. Although I'm sure they don't know about the muggle bashing. If it's even true.
They're not going to the World Cup. That sort of thing doesn't interest them in the slightest.
