Furious that the stupid boy was messing this up so spectacularly, the half-blood snarled, "Your father fucked me exactly as long as it served his agenda. Once he had established his own place in the ranks of the Dark Lord, he dumped me; even threatened me to never again approach him in public! Lucius only cared about himself. With Harry, I can at least be sure that when he tires of me, I will still have a place by his side, respected even if I'm not loved. He never offered false pretences for his own gain!"
