Excellent chapter. With a few choice words and sentences you explained a lot, and it didn't seem like being 'a lot', it flowed well.
Draco here was very interesting. The simplicity of his words to his mother was brilliant. They were almost Gryffindorishly straightforward (just as he made resolution to be as far as Harry and his relationship was concerned), short and I think they hit Narcissa hard. I believe that the fact that he didn't even bother to stay to see her reaction and simply turned his back on her was even a bigger offense. Not to mention his decision to forgo any Slythrin tactics that she can interpret in a way to suit her purpose.
Well done, I am waiting to see how this continues. I'll have to say that this is one of your stories that is the hardest to predict even short-term as far as a chapter or two ahead. That's quite a feature.
