Oops! What I meant to go on and say, is that Lucius's perception of the world is so rich and deep and eloquent and beautiful, even though his backroom dealings and his control of people like his son and Ichor should actually seem somewhat sordid and callous. I really like Harry's intelligence and general perceptiveness in this story, and his clever and relatively undamaging 'revenges' against Willowwand and Superbus's owl. I continue to adore the way the Lucius perceives him as well. While I suppose that I should feel empathetic towards Draco for most of his reasons for disliking the idea of Harry as his father's lover and for being kept on such a tight reign within the family by Lucius, etc., I can't help mainly perceiving him as somewhat weak and whiny.... Love this story!
