"You're having lunch with him, because I asked," Scorpius said, clearly unimpressed with the answer. "No, he's not the man he became, but he became that man because he had family around him. If we leave him alone, he won't ever become that man and that's not good for anyone."
Scorpius sighed. "He's a Lucius Malfoy who's been thrown in a future where no one cares about his name or his money. We have the manor and the vaults, but even if we empty them tomorrow, what are we going to do? If we try to leave, the castle can send us back. So yes, he might be dangerous, but he's not going to be less dangerous if he's alone. If anything, he'll be worse. He does love you, Dad, and the only way he will do the right thing in the future is if he has his family to help him. That means you, because he sees you as his son. I'm- I'm just someone inconvenient as your first born, but really he's probably hoping that you have a better heir now," he said with a chuckle. "I'm not even upset about it, because that's just who he is."
