Ok I usually refrain from reviewing stories on this site because I'm always afraid I'll say the same thing every time. You know, "OMG this is amazing!!" blah blah blah review cakes." But I had to review on this chapter if only for this section:
"After she was out of sight, Lucius turned to clear the air with his son, but as he looked at Draco, his heart shattered.
No doubt, Draco was the spitting image of him, from his pale gray eyes, to his platinum hair, all the way down to the way his body was built, but at that moment—at that instant—when Lucius turned and saw the love that his boy had in his face when he watched his wife, all Lucius could see was Narcissa. Not so much the physical, but the expression.
Filled with emotion and heartbreak still from his talk with Severus and Ginevra, Lucius did something he’d not allowed himself—nor his son—to do since Narcissa Malfoy had died.
When Draco’s gaze left his wife and turn to his father, he was utterly surprised to see the tears streaming down his face. He widened his eyes, uncomfortable because he’d never seen his father show any sort of sad emotion, much less cry. That was one of the reasons that Lucius’ behavior these past months since his mother had died had bothered him so much. Lucius Malfoy had never shed one tear for his wife, and that, most of all, was what had hurt Draco.
On a ground unprecedented, Draco did the only thing he could think to do. Instinctively knowing his father was thinking of his mother, he walked to Lucius and hugged him. Lucius grabbed hold of him and squeezed tightly, as if Draco was his lifeline in a body of drowning emotions, finally sobbing and sharing his grief with his son, the only other person who had loved his wife unconditionally. Now, not only did he feel purged, but cleansed as well. Lucius would never know that this cleared the air between them more than any words ever would."
It's great to see a different view of Lucius and I especially love this view. He's human and he has moments of weakness. And in this particular scene, the weakness that he shows is so heartbreaking. I literally almost started crying. It's just so beautiful.
Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. I really love the story so far, it's very well written. And I love the Pansy/Harry ship. That's not something you read in a lot of fics.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I enjoy it when a reviewer picks something specific that they liked (or even didn't like) and let's me know. I did want to show that Lucius is human. Yes, he's been behaving badly, but he has his reasons. The HP/PP came to me at the last moment when I was writing that chapter, actually! Glad it works! Thanks for the review!

*claps*
Lucius is redeemed in my eyes! *squees a little at how wonderful Snape is*
A really lovely chapter. I love the Harry/Pansy relationship coming along! YAY! ;)
Author's Response: Thanks jandj! Glad you could see Lucius in a different light! He and Snape have been great friends for a long while, so Snape decided to let him have it--as it were!

A bit of a suprise there at the end. Looking foward to more. Loved the jelousy theme of the chapter. I would love to see the twins steal Mr. Malfoy's entertainment for the night. Now that would be funny!
Author's Response: Thanks! Yes, for me too. I didn't know I was going to write it until I started! I thought it would be good for the girls to see just how easy it is to become jealous. yes it would! LOL

Sneaky Lucius! Ohh I almost dont want to know what he has planned for later, but of course i really do. ;) I'm glad Ginny is ready to forgive Draco, its good both couples are moving on. And Pansy and Harry! How cute! Cant wait to see what comes next. I hope everything stays ok with the babies. I wonder what will upset our couples next. (because lets face it, something is always wrong LOL) Haha, cant wait for the next update!
Author's Response: Thanks Kell! Actually, I am going to try to redeem him a bit in the next chapter. Yep it was time to move on and get them out of the woods! I like HP/PP at times. We (or I do) put our ladies with Slytherin men, so why not the guys with the women? ;-) THe babies will be fine! More up soon!
