Albus shrugged and began to circle around him like he was trying to corner him. "Are you not too old to be a hypocrite? He asked rhetorically. "In your day, you would have given anything to be part of a group like ours, admit it. Controlling magic, acquiring more and more power, and having worthy allies by your side who teach you valuable tricks... If Scorpius inherited even an ounce of his lust for power from you, then I can’t imagine how envious you must have been all these years, watching him become more powerful than you. That’s why you controlled him and tried to stop him. You were jealous of your own son, just as you are jealous of us now."
