It doesn't seem to stick to the first six books completely, mainly in how Draco seems to dread his task from the beginning, when he was quite proud at first in HBP. Also, I don't understand why Lucius changed--and I personally don't believe that he would torture his son, no matter what he goes through. But I won't let that lower the rating. It's a fanfic, and people have different points of view about characters. Just look at my profile... "Slytherins aren't evil, just misunderstood." And Lucius happens to be on my Heroes list. :) But as I said, that doesn't change the rating.

This is very well written and quite an enjoyable read. I hope you continue soon. :)
