Question why has Draco been treating Harry so neutrally they've been after each other for years.
Why in the hell didn't Lucius just obliviate Harry if he didn't want to get into trouble with Tom? Also with the gifts( if i'm reading it right)Lucius seems to be pretty much openly courting Harry esp. since Harry gets said gifts in the great hall(it would get attention simply because he normally deosn't get gifts and eventually someone will catch him.)never mind that any pureblood and some halfbloods(Hermoine might as well) will know exactly what's happening even if they don't know who it is. However the resulting reaction from Harry would be funny to see.
While I can see the lessons as an excuse to bed Harry I simply cannot reconcile any reason for Lucius to tell Harry the info he has on Voldemort.
This leads me to Cissa what in merlin's name has happened to her? Is she dead, are they divorced, did she run off with someone? I cannot see this prideful woman keeping silent esp. if I've read Lucius' actions correctly(even if she doesn't know the person is.)
Till Next Time

Interesting
First question: Wouldn't Harry have noticed the change in scent when he drank his Pumpkin Juice? That's one of the distinctive characteristics of amortentia. And I thought the effects were supposed to be instantaneous?
Neither here nor there, just a bit of confusion on my part.
Second question: What catalyst caused Lucius to call into question his loyalty to Voldemort? Other than a random (and as yet unexplained) meeting within Hogwarts, Lucius has given no reason to lend credence to his changing sides. While I'm glad that Sirius didn't die, Lucius changing sides inside the Ministry being based on great sex? I never really considered his character to be that shallow.
Without seeing the events that they're going through during the Occlumency lessons, without seeing Lucius form an emotional attachment to Harry, I'm having trouble reconciling his decision to try to help Harry at all.
Perhaps there's been some great event (of which we have yet to learn?) that caused Lucius to be in Hogwarts that night which would explain the reason he is changing sides. Perhaps his lust for Harry is only secondary, and he has actually been tasked to teach Harry Occlumency. Unfortunately, there are so many things missing that I honestly can't determine the reason for his actions.
As a result, without meaning to, your story is gradually turning into seemingly pointless sex between two men who are supposedly on opposite sides of a war. I'm afraid I'm just not following the process that led from Harry having a potion-induced reaction to Lucius to Lucius helping Harry to defeat Voldemort.
The sequence of events in a story not only explains characters' actions, it also explains their interactions. Harry and Lucius' interactions, at this point, are only based on the "what do I get" mentality, yet Lucius is giving Harry extraneous information. I'm not opposed to the change in character; without the background information, though, I am having trouble understanding it.
btw, ty for ccontinuing this. i remember reading it a while back and enjoying it (just re read it. :P)
Will you be continuing any of the others? If not, i'll content myself with this.
