*Arthur listens to the threat defiantly, not giving an inch - he's never backed down to intimidation and he isn't going to start now. His back stiff with stubborn pride and anger, he watches Malfoy turn away before looking behind him at his own family - Molly apoplectic, the boys shocked, mostly. Bill looking proud. That's enough to make it worth Molly's rage, though, right there. He looks at his sons seriously, lowering his voice just enough to avoid another brawl, but he's as deadly serious as he ever is. He points behind him at the Malfoys as he addresses Bill and Charlie - the others are too young to understand this, but with Bill starting school in another year, well. There are things Arthur needs him to know.*
You don't ever listen to people like that, boys, do you hear me? The size of your Gringott's vault has absolutely nothing to do with who you are, and neither does whether you're pure-blood or not. The Malfoys think they own everyone just because they throw money around, but they are no better than anyone else.
