Oooohh, evil, evil Lucius.  Very good explanation for a missing scene from the books.  Excellent!

Oh, evil Lucius!  Figures he'd plot something like this!  Nice take on the prompt.

Indeed, I wouldn't cross his path when Lucius in angry.

Good one, HW! :)

O_o Lucius is a naughtly schemer.

Bad Lucius! Baaaad!!

Oh no! Lucius, you bastard! You scumsucking frogfaced... grrr.

Oh, no! Evil Lucius. I hope Severus gets his revenge on him. What a great way to use the prompt; I wouldn't have thought of that at all.  =)

So... he's the one who got Wormtail to betray the Potters?

Ruh roh...

poor Snape...

Gotta love Lucius when he's being such a heartless bastard. Almost makes you think if that could have been the situation had there been no prophecy. 

Malfoy and Scabbers are up to no good as usual. Interesting start.
