lucius malfoy's thoughts on the eve of his wedding.

AU: They couldn't simply let their friendship go like that. Sulking for weeks, he finally came up with a plan. He would win back her friendship and then never let it go.

Missing scene post-battle. Lucius reflects on the final battle, Narcissa proves to be his pillar of strength, and Harry Potter declares all is forgiven. Oneshot.

Narcissa Malfoy thinks back on the night before the events at the Department of Mysteries, then faces the verdict of Lucius Malfoy's sentence. Includes mild post sentence angst in minor detail. Companion to marine cathedral's "frozen fire."
