Lucius Malfoy was equally pleasant company. Hermione had been cautious around her father-in-law, not quite sure just how much he and his views had truly changed. But eventually, she started to see the real him. An intelligent, caring man who put his wife and son above anything. And a great conversationalist who had a passion for debates. He had spent hours debating the finer points of wizarding laws with her, before moving on to structures of wizarding society in general and finally, books they had both read. It had helped her realise that he truly accepted her, her muggle heritage and her views and values, even if they often differed from his own.
