It was a spur of the moment idea, and seemed appropriate. Thanks for reviewing.

No, Lucius was locked into that mindset. Lucius had bought into the whole pure-blood thing. It added to his sense of superiority. Draco never quite saw it that way. Lucius fooled himself into believing Riddle was the way. Draco had seen that the Muggle children were as smart, as brave, and as tenacious as the pure-bloods. So, Lucius continued to delude himself until he died. Draco severed his ties with his father because he knew it was useless to try to make him see what was real and what was purely rhetoric.Thanks for reading & reviewing.

Thanks for reading & reviewing. Draco has never been one of my favourites until I started writing with a friend. She opened my eyes to the infinite possibilties Draco offers. This seemed so much like what Draco WOULD do. Catharsis takes many forms, Draco chose to wait until he was finally comfortable with his new life to say goodbye to his old life.

The mere fact that Draco says that Thuban is a gentle soul, leaving out the implied ,as I am, says more about Draco's relationship with Lucius than any longer speech could have.Thanks for reading & reviewing.

He had moved beyond what Luciuas wanted for him and into his own dreams and expectations. He had finally broken the pattern and found both himself and love. Thanks for reading & reviewing.

This was such an obvious thing for Draco to do. He had finally found the happiness and the family he had always desired, so it was time to say goodbye to Lucius and the things Lucius thought he should want. Thanks for reading & reviewing.

I thought you might like a happier, less frantic Draco. This  so glad you like it. Happy Birthday again.

Thanks for reading & reviewing.

The point was to feel glad for Draco, that he had moved beyond his father's limitations and found himself and love.Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Draco had a lot to say to his father. A lot of things that Lucius would probably never have listened to if he was alive. Draco needed catharsis. To do that, he had to confront Lucius, or his own fears of his father. He finally did it and was free. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

I said something about writing a Draco drabble and this is what emerged. I have no clue where it came from, except that I think Draco might really have done this. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

I couldn't have done this without my wonderful writing partner who has made me see Draco as a person, not a caricature. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

They always seemed so perfect for each other. He needed someone who wouldn't judge him, merely accept him for all his faults and virtues. Thank you for adminning this and reviewing.
