"I'd say that the fact that we're not in Azkaban counts as surprisingly light," he said. "Add your mother being the Minister for Magic, your wife the Head of the Board of Governors, you and me both successful businessmen - yes it can be said to be light indeed."

"Oh and I promised I'd teach Scorpius," he added as an afterthought. "To show him pensive memories of my time with the Dark Lord. He needs the knowledge."
