A wonderful chapter. I love what you do with looks and words in the first part, Harry talking to Ron, watching Draco, watching Draco talking to Lucius and watching Harry - the pov is awesome.
And seriously, sometimes you weave into this fic some of the most astounding truth, so effortlessly, it leaves me quite breathless. When Draco thinks this - I could tell the whole truth and still lose him because of the way he interprets things. - and this - You have to leave him free to react to this, rather than trying to tailor your words so that he’ll give you what you want. - those are such fundamental insights into the nature of love. It makes me believe that Draco came around for Harry for good.
