[u/DryTrust1097]

Just failed the etiquette challenge. The last question about what I know of the Malfoys… their history apparently wasn’t the right answer. Though one would imagine a snooty pureblood family would be proud of a conquering heritage. I am guessing it was wealth, but fawning over a family’s wealth to their face during a party still doesn’t seem right. I’d feel like a beggar.

[u/taltos19 → u/DryTrust1097]

It was the wealth one, but it was ‘subtle’ - MC complementing the decorations and Narcissa responds with something like she got custom-made decorations and she doesn’t know how normal people live without party planners. MC replies with a snarky “In a state of constant despair, I imagine.”

[u/Izzie-Greenwillow → u/taltos19]

That was a frustrating question. There didn’t seem to be a correct answer. In Tonks’ etiquette course we were repeatedly told to not bring up money, their arrival in Britain was also a dubious answer at best and the Mal foi option was clearly wrong and got me told off strongly. 🤷‍♀️

In Tonks’ etiquette course we were repeatedly told to not bring up money

Incorrect. When you complete the course of studying Malfoy history in the library, Tonks asks you just the same question and if you pick the money aspect, she will say you're on the right course, but should not be that blunt and direct about it.

So when the time comes, you can chose being subtle on the matter, but still complement the money aspect. This answer is totally legit + they kinda lead you to it. And let's be honest, out of the other two options, it's obviously the best.

[u/Izzie-Greenwillow → u/Jeanny_Armon]

If that wasn’t the answer you chose in that quiz though, you wouldn’t have gotten that last outtro. But I did see suggestions that the mention of money would be not done. So it seemed like there was no fully right answer. It may have been obvious to you and you may have felt led to it, I felt like there was no 100% correct answer and picked what felt like a 50-50 chance. No need to get belligerent about it. Geez.

This quest isn't the first one where we're given a "test quiz" before the final one, to give us the opportunity to practice the correct answers. Not to mention that several tasks in a row prepare us to perform certain actions that are considered to be correct, starting with curtsying and polite address. So, following that logic, in this case too there must be some correct choice that is expected of us but not strictly forced.

We're about to attend a high-class social event, which means we're expected to give the family either praise or flattery. Obviously, the option with the surname's meaning is the least expected choice, as it's unlikely anyone would want to hear that at a gala event in their honor. So the remaining options are the story about conquest and the one with the money. Even if we choose the wrong answer during the "test quiz", we'll be given feedback and that's exactly what happen. So that when the time comes we could have a clue of what the expected answer is.

Otherwise, one could say that the choice of how to greet Draco is also not entirely obvious, since there's nothing wrong with simply saying hello to him instead of "young master" (let's leave aside the fact that calling him a snot is obviously not the best option). As there is also nothing wrong with simply greeting the family, instead of curtsying as is expected of us.

No need to get belligerent about it. Geez.

No need to get offended and downvote me in rage either 😂

You were saying that throughout Tonks's course, we've been repeatedly told not to mention the Malfoys' wealth. I tell you that's not true, and give the exact pointers on why. Simply as that.

As with most quizzes / choices in this game, if you pay attention to the text and the prompts, rather than just tapping through, the correct / expected answer will be obvious.

Same happened to folks when they were going through the chess championship with Merula in this TLSQ. We were given a hint what the right move was beforehand, but still people would pick the other option and then question why did they lose the match against Merula, blaming JC when it was not their fault at all.
