Oh, fruit is a good idea. But one never knows what another will prefer, do they? But if Charles fancies the apricots and Darius doesn't, well, Charles can go ahead and take Darius' for himself.
I thought about asking Draco, but when I think back to all the times that something has happened with his parents, he's always strongly preferred NOT to discuss it in any public capacity. Remember when his father and Miss Professor Carrow dueled? "My Father is absolutely fine," is what he kept insisting. Even though most of us knew it wasn't true. But I don't know if he acted that way because it's a kind of protocol for the family of the Lord's council members, or if it was because it's simply Draco's way.
And then... well, they were invited to watch their father duel. Do you suppose they think he's a hero, to be killed by the Lord's own wand? Or do they feel disgraced, seeing as he didn't put up any fight whatsoever?
In any case, surely a little care hamper, given with discretion, couldn't cause too much offence?
