"Okay, so Mum has convinced Dad that we should invite you over for dinner. This is mostly because that they hate your dad's guts and Mum wants to see if you're any different from him," Rose explained.
"Okay. So, I should act nothing like my dad. In other words, just be myself," Scorpius replied nodding.
Smiling, she continued, "Right, now, Dad already basically wants to kill you so a first impression is crucial."
"Anything else?" Scorpius asked.
"Um, yes. As I said, Dad almost already hates your guts. It's nothing personal. He still just thinks of you as a mini version of your dad."
Scorpius shuddered. "That's a scary thought."
"Yeah, I know. So, don't get too offended if he's really rude to you. He'll come around eventually."
"I'm not going to be offended. He went to Hogwarts with my dad. If I went to school with my dad, I'd hate me too!" Scorpius joked.
"Are you sure? I mean, Dad can get pretty scary when he's really angry. I mean, Mum is the one that I always think of as terrifying, but when Dad gets really angry, well, it's not pretty. And just remember," Rose began but Scorpius cut her off.
"Your dad only hates me because he hates my dad. It's nothing personal. I know, Rose," he said firmly before she could try to reassure him anymore.
"Alright. Let's get this over with," she straightened his collar, flattened his hair a little bit, and apperated them to her house.
