This is great! Solid writing and you swept me right into the life and times of the First War. I especially like how you showed the intimacy between these family groups, especially spouses. And the innocent babies tug at the heartstrings. I'm glad too that you show tension and fear at the Malfoy's too. I do like to believe that Lucius joined Voldemort out of misguided beliefs, upbringing and a desire to advance/protect his family rather than pure sadistic tendencies.
