Oooh, they were so close...all that lovely ointment-slathering, then the kidskin gloves ('quite the kinky addition' indeed!) and all the eyeing up of each other's assets and then...Hermione puts numbing lotion on his tool! How very, very naughty of her! I should think Lucius might want to pay her back for that. I can understand why she did it (sort of), though Lucius' was coming on strong enough to overpower the most uptight of witches. Still, the tension lingers in the air very tantalisingly!

It's interesting that the wizarding world in the late 20th century was like something out of Dickens (I think that's what appeals to me about it) - I was almost expecting them to get into Diagon Alley and find it like bubonic-plague-era London but it makes sense that the wizarding world only started to lag properly behind Muggle society after the Industrial Revolution, when new technologies caused a terminal rift between the two.

I am loving all the attention to detail - I hadn't heard of a jarvey, but now I will use the term whenever the opportunity arises!

This is such a treat. Keep it coming!

Another great chapter. I can't wait to read more.

LOL -- Hermione should have been a Slytherin. I think Lucius should watch his back (and his front) from now on. I knew those stripes would "count." And, a nice twist -- Lucius recognizable as a Malfoy. Is there really another Malfoy or is the alternate reality's magic accomodating their arrival. So much to anticipate.

BTW, having spent a goodly portion of my adult life in, around, and under cars, I'd be WAY more subtle than a brake line -- ;)

Great new turn in the plot. I can't wait for more.

ch 15 - I really enjoyed this chapter!! I'm sorry I can't put my finger on what specifically I liked about it, as I enjoyed everything - the banter, Lucius being impressed by Hermione outsmarting him with the ointment, the look at the "old" Leaky Cauldron, the truth about the cheap perfume and his night at the bordello, and the hints of future sex. Very clever way to get Lucius all the Malfoy money in this time, although I wonder if he can remember enough Malfoy family history to verify the story - Lucius as his own great-great-grandfather? time paradox? I won't even begin to try to figure that out, I'm just along for the ride. Thanks for the new update!!

Haha! Hermione making up his mind like that!! too funny!! I loved it, although I am ready for some HG/LM action!

Oh wow, so the shopkeeper knows their names and called Hermione, Mrs. Malfoy. Now that

Just wondering! This is the past ..right? Or some..parallel world? Because if this is their past, won't they change it? I mean , we know there were Malfoys in 1870, in London and they were rich and powerful wizards well known by the wizarding community!Aren't going to change things? Is she going to be Draco's great-great-great grandmother?? (Merlin forbid!)
Anyway , poor Lucius, i feel sorry for him! Hermione is really very smart and all but she is a bit annoying, lol. She is right he is so bossy ,and he needs to learn how to respect her, and of course he will fall in love with her and she will be the boss in this relationship,( some how she always does) ..but, she needs to start to respect him a little bit too! She doesn't own the credit's for cleverness !Bloody Gryffindors!! LOL
God's i love this story!

Well it's confirmed where Draco got his girlish tendencies of dress. LOL. I am liking Hermione and Lucius more and more. I feel like they're adapting each other's characteristics. Hermione's underhandedness and Lucius being somewhat more of a gentleman. The sexual tension is really stifling, all that sexual innuendo. Lucius obviously is ruled by his baser instincts. I think it's sort of good that he has Hermione with her voice of reason, though the same voice of reason is delaying the inevitable. I think the reason I was confused as to there being a Diagon Alley in the period the characters was because I kept thought that Diagon Alley was the modern magical shopping, and that it would be referred to something else some hundreds of years earlier.

Thank you for the jargon by the way, it was much appreciated!
