He might not believe you. Of course he seems almost comically easy to convince of certain things at times, who knows. I can't see it would hurt anything to give it a try if you liked.
I'm probably the closest thing my magical countrymen have to a living noble, I suppose. I have knights and lords among my direct ancestors and certainly the wealth and land the Malfoy name still holds is equivocal. Witches and wizards lost the right to almost all noble titles when we severed ties with the English court however. It's not something worth mourning, far as I'm concerned. Being a Malfoy means far more to me than any letters or patents.
I'm doing my best with Draco now, yes. It's hard to know what he needs from me most right now. But I am trying to be here for him. Thank you for your reassurances; they don't mend everything, but then nothing perhaps can fully assuage a parent's worry or guilt when it comes to their children. It does mean something though to hear from an outsider's perspective my efforts are still visible and appreciated.
Who knows, Draco may wish to return sooner once he can move around, some people like working as a distraction. I can be the same way when I have social projects to devote my energy to. In any case responsibility is something he has been taught to take most seriously, he will not leave you waiting long I am sure.
