Oh, now we're in the daily Malfoy life ( ... )

Severus was about to question Lucius' decision to beat Draco. "Do you really think that you have to punish him that harshly" - or something along those lines. But, as the Severus in this story usually comments and questions little, he manages to refrain from asking ( ... )

Oh, yes, please do it!
I prefer myself Draco and second the Malfoys but I'm thrilled to see how you explore the friendships of Lucius Malfoy...

Oh, okay, now I understand - I'm sometimes a little slow on the uptake in english. *smiles*

Do you think Lucius and Severus have a lot of things in common?

Ein kleiner Hinweis: "I second" bedeutet so viel wie "Ich stimme zu" z.B. bei einem Vorschlag. Was Du meintest, war aber wohl, dass Du zu allererst Draco magst und dann die Malfoys. Oder nicht? Das würde dann etwa so lauten: I myself favour Draco before all the other Malfoys ( ... )

I am enjoying this fic so far. Thank you for providing a good afternoon's entertainment.
BTW, when Lucius calls Severus 'chap' it does not sound like a British person talking as they would only call him 'old chap'. I know that is not logical as Severus is not old but it is the expression that is used whatever the age of the person.

Thank you for reading and letting me know that you are enjoying the story.

I first had Lucius call Severus "little one", but one of my betas suggested this solution, with the use of "old chap" when they are adults, and in the end, I went with it. Those little things are sometimes hard to decide when you get different opinions on a text. I tend to go by majority votes in such cases. And I wish I were a native speaker and would actually know what I'm doing. *g*
