This story is just fabulous. While my favorite pairing is LM/SS, I found I enjoyed this hugely. Lucius and Narcissa both seemed totally in character. I most enjoyed the progression of it... from the kids playing and picking on each other to the evening he gives her the champagne and obviously sees her as a woman for the first time.
It was also sad in a way to see the brilliant Narcissa having to be the behind the scenes power due to being a woman. The thoughts of envy because Lucius can go out and play while she must stay in and learn to run the Malfoy estates was quite depressing. It was lovely to see her being the mastermind behind the whole "Minister Fudge" bit... :)
