Not as much today, but not a bad amount all the same. I'm all geared up and excited for Deathly Hallows Part 2 coming out this Friday, and have my midnight tickets all lined up to prove it! Snape apparently wore himself out creating their new minions, and Lucius makes a suggestion that has Severus seething in rage. Sure, he didn't like to be reminded of that energy source, but it's either that or a failed mission. And who wants to see Voldie angry, am I right?
Lucius also takes a time-out to reflect on how naive he thinks Severus is. Ironic, isn't it? And he speculates at what madness drove him to beg Voldemort for Lily's life. In Lucius' opinion, that was the biggest mistake he could ever make.
Summary: The time is before the Prophecy, and a young Lucius Malfoy is sent to explore the disappearance of a Death Eater family. When he comes across their bodies, he calls on Severus to assist him. Together they have to figure out the mystery behind the murder, and deal with the revelation of the Prophecy - and how Lucius and Narcissa's son might be involved.

I know my lunchtime writing tomorrow will be filled with more social pursuits, but I definitely plan to get some writing done in the evening. Just need to buckle down and get my word count out. I think once I get these two up off the graveyard floor (so to speak) it'll get easier. They're just having a damn good time feeling sorry for themselves at the moment.
