RP: Al & Lucius
Who: Lucius & Al
When: before dinner, 3/21
Where: Outside the Great Hall
What: Lucius meets the weird Potter

Lucius had decided to eat in the Great Hall rather than his rooms. It wasn't something he normally bothered with, but spending another evening alone in his rooms was worse than the idea of socializing with a bunch of do-good Gryffindors and friends. He was going to have to start being more accessible, forming relationships with these people. For better or worse, they were the people with influence now. As much as it pained him, he was going to have to adapt to the changing landscape. So, that meant dinners in the Great Hall. How wonderful.

He was a bit early, but there was someone else who was standing outside the Great Hall looking as if he didn't want to go in either. One of the Potter boys, the younger who was apparently named after Severus and Dumbledore. What an odd combination, but then the father had never been fully in his right mind either. Still, this was the Potter who had been Sorted into Slytherin which was interesting. Also, this was the Potter who was friends with Scorpius, so Lucius had an interest there as well.

Approaching the young man, Lucius put on his most neutral face. "Good evening. Albus Severus, isn't it?"

Al wasn't sure he wanted to have a more productive conversation with Lucius Malfoy. But he also didn't want to upset him either. He took a deep breath and tried to get his stammer under control. It was always worse when he was nervous. He'd once stammered so badly during an interview that he hadn't been able to get more than three words out, and there was a lot of press speculating as TK whether or not he was actually brain damaged.
Still, he wasn't about to let anyone have a low opinion of Scorpius. Especially not this man.

"Scorpius isn't wasting any, anything." He took another breath, and stood up straighter. "He's a, a lot, a lot for your family. You're respectable, because, because of him. You don't, don't understand how, how hard he works."

"So I've been told, and I've agreed to accept that in the past his career was instrumental in rebuilding the Malfoy name, but he won't be able to rely on his...talents in this new world."

It seemed this Potter did have a spine, but it was less annoying than the stammer had been so he supposed he should count it as a win. He had even stopped slouching. "We will need more than a pretty face to build Britain back up."

"Whatever Scorpius choose, chooses to do, he'll do it brilliantly." Who did Lucius Malfoy think he was, looking down on Scorpius. How dare he? "He is much, much more than a pretty face and if you think he won't do great things you're, you're wrong."

He shoved his trembling hands deep in his pockets.

"You're also underes, underestimating just what a pretty face can, can get you. So if you, if you want to keep this conver, conversation going then I'd advise, advise you to stop talking about, about him that way."
