Yay! I'm glad you decided to continue this story. I love stories where Lucius redeems himself more than what JKR let us see. I dont' think he could ever have allowed Voldemort the free reign of his home and his subsequent emasuclation (by the loss of his wand) and not resented the interloper.

Good job on the chapters. I will look for more updates with impatience.

Tambra, thanks. Yeah, Jason Isaacs is pretty delish, and I've been having a BLAST watching his other stuff. Never knew that the cute geeky scientist in Armageddon was also Lucius Malfoy. I love finding out that I've had my eye on the same guy in different things...

And mrequecky, glad you like!

Liked a lot >D

Good job! So, you've been bitten by the Jason Isaacs bug too. Gotta love him. He's so nasty in a nice way. I'll be looking for the next chapter.

If Lucius has a patronus, he must be a spy in this story.

I'm fond of Lucius, but Severus is my obsession. Will you have someone in this story for him too? I hope so.

In spite of all the comments from the portrait, I think Lucius is another of Dumbledore's spies and he's trying to blow a smoke screen during that conversation. A true Death Eater would never have a Patronus.

I hate to sound like Rowling--especially without her finances--but I'm going to stay mum on Lucius' status. Suffice to say it's the beginning of the end of the path he's been on. As to Snape, I haven't quite worked out where I want him to wind up...

Chapter Two: I'm very excited at the prospect of this developing into a real story. A question: is this DH compliant? I mean, will everything turn out just like it does in the book? Also, where is Severus going to stash her? An interesting development, in any case. Can't wait for more!

Deathly Hallows be damned; I fart in its general direction. As to where he takes her, that will come out in the next cht. so sit tight. I'm on a roll!

Wow, thanks. Descriptive writing I do well. Characterization... is passable. Why did Lucius save her? That's the million dollar question and one he'll be exploring himself. I like it call it his Martin Blank moment. Since not everyone is a John Cusack fan, I'll say this: he has been bigoted so long that it helped to dehumanize any of his victims, but being a person unlike, let's say Bella, his conscience is still intact. And that conscience is finally pricking him to the point that he is just beginning a very long, harrowing path to redemption.

As for where he took her... that should be answered in the next chapter, as well as why there. The DEs, though knowing it was probably a futile effort, wanted the Dursleys in order to get at Harry. Much like attacking Hogwarts to flush him out there. And yes, his patronus is a mongoose, mainly because it's completely anathemic to his house leanings since mongooses can kill snakes. Shows a little of the binary opposition going on in his psyche. And since the lexicon doesn't list a patronus for him, I claim artistic license.

For my other stories, I usually have Snape as the protagonist... although in the one I'm currently trying to finish ("Iron Dragons") he does pop up with an OC of his own. And if you can't handle a truly bad Lucius, I'd say avoid "Web of Redemption," because he's about as bad as it gets there.
