For starters, she's a person. Yes, she's still a young person, but she's got very real (and very powerful) emotions to sort out at her age, and if she's anything like every teenage girl I've ever known, she's got a whopping dose of self-doubt too, and those shouldn't be toyed with. Or exploited. Any more than they already have been, that is.
I know you love your brother, dearest, but regardless of his intentions, he's twisted that girl into knots, and I don't want you making it worse. You're better than that. And regardless of what Lucius Malfoy says, I do not want you getting her in trouble, which is a very real possibility given your current title and her tendency to be contrary.
And it's hard to sort out what she's thinking behind it all too, making her a potential liability. I don't want you to underestimate her, or assume you know her. From what I've seen of her, she seems quite good at getting people to do what she wants -- and if she really is in Lucius Malfoy's right hand pocket, you ought to watch how open you are with her.
