Yahoo! I've been checking everyday for an update. I love how they are being drawn into the world they are in. Will they ever find the Wizarding community?
Lucius is so crafty, and as a sorted Slytherin, I heartily approve of his methods of acquisition. Who better to give him property and blunt that the very people by which he has been exploited? Great job. I can't wait for more.

Wow! A taut, action-packed chapter. If Lucius felt guilty before I'm sure he feels twice as guilty now.
Poor Hermione. I wonder, though...how were they able to overpower her if she had her wand? Maybe she was asleep? Or are some of the people involved in this seedy operation magical, perhaps?
I thought Lucius forcing the old woman into signing over the house was a great move. It's almost second nature to him to act for his own benefit. Even half-drunk and nearly panicked over Hermione's abduction, he ties up all the loose ends and gains property and money in the process. It's so Lucius it hurts.
I really like your take-no-prisoners Lucius. He's quite sexy. I just wonder if all the magic he is doing is going to alert the magical authorities, and if the use of his real name on the deed (since they did not pick out aliases yet) could be problematic later. Hm.
The description of the room Hermione was kept in - the paroxysm of red and the bleeding doily - priceless.
Now I have to wait another week to see how this plays out? Oh, the cruelty!

"My Little Witch!" "My woman!" "My witch!"
Joy of joys, Lucius is feeling possessive. I do love the jealous type. The fact that Hermione was seen as a slut and thereby somewhat expendable to the landlady might irk everyone involved, and prove for some delicious developments. Thank goodness she hadn't been too maltreated. I was worried about that... I kept urging him on, wishing he'd hurry up. Altogether some terror and pain to accompany the kidnapping, and a healthy dose of humiliation when they prepared her. No lasting damage, no defilement, although certainly plenty to agonize over now that Lucius has decided to grow a conscience and become protective.

This is a terrific turn for the tale to tell - Hermione in peril of her virtue, Lucius getting to show a little derring-do and, dare I say it, a caring side, plus endless opportunities to delve into the sordid realm of Regency-era brothels. I love it.
Some fantastic images in this chapter - Lucius' pantaloons being too tight to house a sneeze (does he share a tailor with Judge Turpin?) and the decor of the room looking as if it had bled on to a doily.
Nice historical touches with the people visiting Bedlam to poke the unfortunate inmates with sticks. I'd never heard the term 'blunt' before either.
Anyway I sense a row brewing between Lucius and Hermione - and then maybe something more? Heh. Keep up the good work.

ch 1-7 - I just found your new story - wow! Lucius and Hermione in Regency England. Well, they sure had gaming hells, gentlemen's clubs, horse racing, and other ways for Lucius to make money. Could he find the Malfoys of the time, assuming his family already had Malfoy Manor? I'm still hoping Lucius finds Hermione a better choice than a brothel. Thanks for this new story!

I loved your description of Hermione as a Hufflepuff. I laughed out loud. Good for Lucius, I hope he gets what he needs, (and of course, I get to read about it.) Hermione's reaction to his new black hair was very funny. I could just see her slapping him. Great job.

Unfortunately I can't leave a long review at the moment, but I have to say thank you. After the week I've had I really needed that (the chapter AND the pic). Now I can go fail my exam with a smirk on my face. :)

Another wonderful chapter! It seems both Lucius and Hermione are having a difficult time hiding their attraction to one another. Sexual tension is always entertaining... especially in your stories. I think it's time Lucius visited a brothel, I only hope he doesn't catch anything nasty (although that would be funny!) update soon and please allow Hermione to venture out against Lucius's wishes, I love it when he gets mad.
