'If Thine Enemy...'

A botched 'Apparate!' lands Harry at the Malfoy estate. The resident Death Eater, of course, gets more than he bargained for. *Slash, Angst, Politics*

Lucius realizes that Harry Potter is too powerful, and the best course of action now is negotiation...

Lucius Malfoy starts what he calls his 'negotiations' for Harry's power... and Harry's loyalty. It remains to be seen, however, whether Harry Potter is so easily manipulated...

NOTE: This is an Interlude between the Lucius/Harry focused chapters. We now switch scenes back to the Ministry of Magic which, if you'll recall, is where Dumbledore sent Aurors Granger and Weasley to fetch backup in order to track Harry down. However, one of the Aurors reveals a dark secret... and proves that love may be blind after all. Even for a Watcher.

Both Lucius Malfoy and Harry Potter are reeling from their 'negotiations' (in the last chapter). But who is truly weakened, and who is simply horrified? In other news: Draco calls home.
