He actually does acknowledge that he doesn't get it right after that- I didn't give enough of the scene. Draco says the French phrase because Ron's just told him he has a new intern coming in to work with him from France. Draco says "Quel dommage," and he's not sorry, but what he's not sorry about is the fact that the French guy will be interning for Ron. He's not at all apologetic about using French. ;) I'll figure something out. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!
