Lucius always hoped his son would grow up to be like him. He knew the boy shadowed his footsteps and mimicked his mannerisms. Throughout his life Draco always stood taller around his father, and paid keen attention to every word Lucius spoke. Even Draco's vernacular and careful aristocratic drawl were inherited from the patriarch.

What sadness, what heartache Lucius felt now that Draco flushed his life away for something so tenuous as love. Sitting in his cell in Azkaban, graying raw fingers clutched at the silvery bars restraining him and for the first time in his life, Lucius wept.
