I'd thought the same thing.

I liked the "about to go out of style" part. heh.

I had thought of something along the lines of "something money can't 
buy" regarding Lucius and more children.

One possible solution of course would be magic, but what if for 
whatever reason, a curse for instance, that wouldn't work.

My problem is you would think they would have potions and/or charms 
for that sort of thing.  Then again, magic has limits in HP's world.  
Maybe, just like for muggles, some couples can use fertility 
treatments and others no matter what they try will never get pregnant 
or in this case pregnant again.

Can't you just see it?  Lucius and Narcissa spending pounds and 
pounds of gold only to finally have to accept that Draco will always 
be an only child.

Another thing, how long did it take them to have Draco?  I don't know 
if Molly and Arthur are along with Lucius and Narcissa, but if they 
are that would mean in the time it took Lucius to father one child.  
Arthur and Molly had had six.  

Lastly, and this is a bit of a stretch (or maybe not).  In COS, in 
the shop at Knockturn Alley, Lucius didn't seem too happy with 
Draco.  I mean the boy let a muggleborn out score him.  In Lucius 
warped little mind, the Malfoys are superior to the rest of us.  How 
dare his son let some muggleborn get better marks than him?

Perhaps, Lucius wishes he had more children so everything isn't 
riding on Draco.  I think one of his biggest fears is that Draco may 
let the family down in a big way.  Afterall, if he can't have any 
more kids, then there's nothing he can do about it.  I imagine that 
Lucius has some serious control issues and things beyound his control 
just kill him.  Well, that would definately qualify as something he 
can't buy/bully/scheme his way around.
