Lucius in fact expected Narcissa to place Draco as her highest priority- it was the proper way of things. Their son was the future of the Malfoy family, in which Lucius centered many of his hopes for the future. A future which was becoming dubious at best- he was beginning to wonder if in fact the Dark Lord's approach was the best of plans. The overall ground gained was not, to his knowledge, on par with the difficulty it was creating for his family, or for himself. Azkaban had provided plenty of time for reflecting on this.
He listened carefully to Narcissa's explanation- this 'popcorn' was a magic he was unfamilar with, but he could sense that Narcissa felt confidence in it being a sort of ward for their son. And her judgement on the matter meant a great deal to him- he knew that if she were to have any doubts at all of Draco's safety, they would have been voiced. "When I saw our son's name on that plaque, I thought it just another mockery conjured by the dementors. I don't understand this nonsense that is Hogwarts but not our Hogwarts, but if you say it is so I trust that our son is safe. But how did you come to be here, Narcissa? I do not complain that you are, not when it means that we are together again, but I worry about what it means." Whatever magic was going on, it was entirely unfamiliar, and did not seem to bode particularly well, even if Draco was safe due to being under a 'popcorn' enchantment.
