Yeah, some of his claims about Tony actually managed to get under his skin. Deep under.
"Back up the linkin park a second, here. I don't have any vision? Me and my stupid machines are trying to make a difference. But I'm 14, I'm limited by magical restrictions and the fact I can only try to get my fathers company to look at my designs.
And you know what? You're in Ravenclaw, you're in my room. I want you to prove you're not worth me laughing at. Because then I know the hat is right. Because all I see is good grades and someone whining about how hard their life is.
Sure, okay. Yeah, I was fed with the figurative silver spoon, but that has a cost. When ever I'm in the US I have to wonder about paparazzi snapping photo's of me trying to be with friends, I live in the shadow of a man who never thought I'd accomplish anything. And hey, let's ignore the dead parent angle, because in order for that to be relevant they'd actually would have had to participate in my life."
Rubbing his neck, Tony leant back from the table a little, feeling a little bad for using a harsh tone with the other boy whom he knew he had actually worked up, into saying this. Staying silent for a moment he collected his thoughts.
"Want to be taken seriously? Stop looking to be big in the future, and be big now. People only see what you do now. Not what you will do."
