A story that makes me smile was just what I needed when I read this one. I liked that they were both manipulating each other, and that there wasn't a dramatic "omg you used me" blow-up between them.

But mostly I loved Draco's children and the ways he interacted with them. You did a very nice job of showing a man who loved his wife and loves his kids, and yet is overwhelmed by them at the same time. And how Harry defends Draco at the trial by being completely honest and supportive at the same time.
