...wait, what? [Somehow that doesn't add up for him. He's also curling up further to make his torso as small as possible.] No...she told me that she wants to know someday but I can't keep terrorizing her. I can't tell her about everything that I've done because it's going to change everything. You didn't see the way she looked at me when I told her about keeping everyone in the cellar and hexing people.
[He doesn't bat away the handkerchief though it's not doing much if he keeps messing with his lip.] It doesn't matter what my mother did. Yes, she's going to be the one that makes sure we don't end up in Azkaban, but beyond that the reputation of our family's going to still be old servants of the Dark Lord. I'm always going to be the boy who attempted to murder Albus Dumbledore. My father's always going to be the man who was one of his most faithful servants. And we're both always going to be marked.
