[Scorpius is a good little Slytherin, who has learned the hard way that sometimes discretion is the better part of valour. He's also very quick-minded, brain buzzing a few steps ahead of the conversation. There's so many things that are wrong about this situation, and no answers as to why any of it's happening.
The best thing to do for now is play along. Definitely he shouldn't let on this isn't his first experience with time travel. Play the part of a lost child and see what information he can gather.
He sits, hands fidgeting nervously for a moment before he forcibly settles them in his lap.] It was July twentieth, two thousand and twenty-three. I'm Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy, born November fifteenth, two thousand and five. My parents are Draco Malfoy and Astoria Malfoy née Greengrass. [He's pretty proud of himself for saying her name without any waver in his voice.] I attended Hogwarts, was sorted into Slytherin, and graduated on time with the class of twenty-seventeen. [He tips his chin pridefully, feeling the strange urge to impress Regulus.] I recieved O-level NEWTS in Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, Herbology, Ancient Runes, and Arithmancy and an E-level in Defense Against the Dark Arts. [He'd been so close to an O there too, but DADA wasn't his strong suit... Albus had given him such a look when he'd complained about it ruining his O streak.]
