"I can't be both," Scorpius said, shrugging. "It's not like I can run around breaking curses and do all the stupid stuff the heir is supposed to do. It's not just like... living in the house and throwing the occasional party. There's all sorts of financial things to manage. Dad can do that stuff and be a lawyer, and our grandfather was a professor, but those are stationary jobs. It's not like running around the world breaking ancient curses and uncovering buried secrets and all that. Plus, being a cursebreaker isn't a job where safety is guaranteed, and a big part of being the heir is just... continuing the family and being around and all that."
He looked up at Albus, nodding. "Of course I do. I've never wanted to be the heir." Scorpius laughed. "I'd die of boredom in the first week. Rory likes that kind of thing. She's good at it, and Grandmother has practically been grooming her for it from the start."
