The tears are running down my face. Rolf. But it seems so right. I 
wonder if he has a goofy smile like that. 


But, what if Draco isn't redeemed, but doesn't follow Voldemort? How 
about a scene where Lucius falls back on his last support in the whole 
world: Draco, and Draco rejects him, and stands by while they take his 
father to Azkaban. The renunciation of his father could be even more 
evil than the following of him. It would also illustrate the old 
saying that you can keep a level of good, but no-one can keep a level 
of evil. You can start in destroying other people, and end destroying 
your family. Or to put it another way, there's no honour among 
thieves. I wonder if the kids could take it, though.

PS Amittedly, I perhaps have in mind Maglor in the Silmarillion, who 
stands by when they throw his father, Eol, over a cliff. Admittedly, 
Eol deserved it, but so would Lucius deserve Azkaban.
