I really enjoyed the mood of this story. You could almost feel that Narcissa's talking was like fingernails on a chalkboard. And once she left then the silence broken. I loved that Lucius recognized that Azkaban and before had taken a toll on his mental and emotional state, and that he knew it would be some time before he healed.
The garden scene was really nice and the trust Draco still had in his father broke my heart a little.
