Bravo, stupendous etc., etc., I love Arthur Weasley, he so totally rocks!!! Finally, finally Ron got the kick up the arse he deserved, and so, for that matter, did Henric although I can understand where his fear came from, Draco was quite right, if you weren't there and experienced it for yourself, what do you reall know about a situation. All your confrontations were sheer brilliance (but hey, everything you do is)and I can't wait to see what happens with Narcissa now. Perhaps Rita might come around after all? Loved it!! My dear, you rock too!! :)
Oh and is Jocasta a random name choice or should I read more into that given her mythological background? :)

I simply love this story. Is it just me or are you, every now and then, hinting subtly on an impending threesome with Lucius ?? Somehow pushes my kink buttons. Oh no. Are both Malfoys penniless now? That complicates things substantially...
Cheesesteak, mmhh. I

Nah. The best Philly cheesesteaks are at Jim's at 4th and South. *G* If you were spending more time in Philadelphia, I'd suggest that Draco take Hermione out for a night on the town at South Street, or perhaps a Sunday picnic on the lawn behind the Art Museum, while the azaleas are in bloom. Although for a romantic dinner, he really ought to try The Rose Tattoo Cafe at 19th and Callowhill (not terribly far from Finnegan's Wake, now that I think about it). Top it off with a low flying broom ride down boathouse row, and along Kelly Drive? Sigh. I live in the 'burbs, now, and I've lived in Manhattan, Miami, and traveled around the country. I don't want to make light of the very real problems the city has. But, Philadelphia gets a very bad rap when it is actually a city with quite a bit to offer. The museums along the parkway can hold their own with the best in the world (don't even get me started on the museum attached to the University of Pennsylvania, with a collection of antiquities so vast the museum can't display half of them). Fairmount Park is, I believe, one of the largest parks in the country to exist within the confines of a city. We have a thriving theatrical community, world-class orchestra, outstanding ballet and lyric opera companies....
So, now that I've represented for Philadelphia fanfiction readers, let's talk about your story.
This chapter is evil. Evil, I tell you. Rita Skeeter getting her hands on Lucius' vaults at Gringott's and apparently draining them dry...oh, you so have to fix that! How is Draco going to lavish Hermione with expensive gifts if Rita has stolen all his family's money? I'm very happy, however, that it looks like Narcissa and Lucius will end up together again, before you're done. I really like them in this fic. And, I hope that Narcissa makes good use of the sash of her dress. *G*

OH...MY...GOOD GOLLY. :P Wow! I just read this fic for the first time and I'm blown away...AWESOMENESS!! Though I quite literally just finished about 2 min ago I'm already experiencing withdrawl, put me out of my misery soon please and update. Really...I'll cry. :(
At first I agreed with the thought that the Malfoys were way out of character, but I'm gettin' into it. :) It helped that you forced Lucius into a muggle life for awhile and then he had some very emotional epiphanies as to what he had done and where he was going.
I gotta say, way to go in giving Rita what she deserves, lol. Man I hated that bish when reading the books.
Great work and I'll be checking in often!

I think I might be able to explain the Lucius and Hermione problem in this story. Then again, who knows.
Anyway, you wrote Lucius and Hermione so well! First Lucius treated her so well, then he agreed to the dating plan, then he started to like her, then he put himself through emotional hell, not once, but twice for her, then they had the wonderful dinner, and then, he kissed he like most of us, men or women would pay for, and then on top of it all, he sent her text messages that made him so dear to her she showed up at his door to see HIM not Draco. The sex with Draco, although well written and enjoyed by everyone seemed gratuitous when we not only knew but, saw the pain that Lucius endured and will continue to endure. I know you will write in someone else to make sure he has a woman, but you wrote this so well that it even made me tear up when she just let him go.
If the muse ever comes to you to rewrite this story with her choosing Lucius instead of Draco, or choosing both of them, just let me know and I will certainly read, enjoy, and pass it along.
I will certainly keep reading this story because you are such a wonderful writer, but I just wanted to weigh in, which I very rarely do.
Please remember, it is not that you have gone off track or anything, it is just that you wrote the relationship so well that some of us became involved, attached, what ever, thinking and feeling it would continue. Apparently, you write Draco/Hermione fics, but we all don't come across stories understanding that genre, we just read looking for good authors and good stories, and you are of course one of those.
Thank you for sharing the talent that the rest of us do not have, we appreciate all or it.

I love this story, and can't wait for more. i knew that Narcissa wouldn't do that to Lucius.

This was a great chapter. I hope that Lucius will recover soon, find out that it was Rita Skeeter that took all of his money and be able to recover it all. Then he needs to dispose of the bug for good. I hope that Narcissa will be able to escape. Maybe she can kill Rita and Giacomo herself, especially now that she knows that Rita impersonated her. I look forward to reading more.
