Let's get to the point. That was one awesome first chapter. I mean, you already got me hooked by the summary alone. How dare Harry, indeed. Ha.
I can really see the resemblance between Lucius and Draco here. Gone is the dignified Lucius of the first chapter of BbU - he's just too funny. I had a blast comparing the two povs, Harry seems so nice now. Not that I thought he was mean before, but side by side with Lucius...and of course, that perfect line that almost summarized the Malfoy's philosophy on evaluating outsiders. "People who drew attention to themselves in such a way inevitably turned out to be of use.". Brilliant. I also really liked that little aside of James and the Potter family for some reason. Any chances of other mentions?
So looking forward to many things. Draco (that was kind of a mean cliffhanger, I know what's going to happen, but it doesn't make me any less curious!) , Narcissa, the Lucius/Narcissa, the Malfoy family interaction in general, and Harry from the Malfoy's pov. Your Harry voice in BbU was so strong, hope he comes as strong in these other povs!

Thank you so much again, I loved it.
