The Ice Prince (2011)
“He looked shocked when Draco asked for his Ferrari.

He snapped his fingers, pointed at a pimply-faced kid wearing what Draco figured was a bellman’s costume, and sent the boy running. Seconds later the car was at the curb. Draco tipped the kid and got behind the wheel, burning rubber as he peeled away.MoreLess
