I really enjoyed this story, but the ending left me rather sad. I didn't want Lucius to die after he had finally realised he loved Padma. Ah well...

I just re-read chapter 11: Hello I am.... and I was amused to note that the Greek phrase you used Magickos Okhi. Why that amuses me is because in my husband's mother tongue okhi is the word for nausea/vomiting. Just thought I'd share. I know, I know, TMI.

Well this is a surprise, Pradesh the twerp suddenly outed as the villain. Who knew he had it in him? I like how Pradesh's evil plotting furthered Tomas' story as well as his nascent romance with Seamus. I wonder how Pradesh's efforts will push other plotlines further?
It's great to see Padma & Lucius bonding over his DTs as well as on the Malfoy escarpment. Using house-elf skills & magic to foreshadow is fun, and thankfully, quite lightly used in this chappie. I also appreciate that much of what tortures Lucius and therefore drives him to drink has to do with things that are out of his control. I can certainly sympathise with someone who has to live with that kind of knowledge. I wonder if, in retrospect (based on the history you've bestowed upon him), Lucius sees himself as worthy of forgiveness. It's clear that Padma see that he is, but it should be worthwhile to see how he works this out for himself.
I would also like to see these different couples converge once more. Now that each has moved forward, it would be fun to see Padma and Tomas indulge in some much needed "girl" talk.
Again, another great chapter, one that readies us for further developments. (Hint, hint.)
Oh, and congratulations on the new grandson. It's wonderful to have a little one you love & adore, that you can still give back to their parents without an ounce of guilt, huh? I know that's how my parents feel....

I like the little bits of the Seamus/Tomas story you put in your chapters. It would be very nice for Padma to come back from Delos and find Tomas has found the loving boyfriend he's wished for. Course, it will be nice for Padma to come back with Lucius in tow, too.
I liked it that Padma stuck with Lucius, offering her understanding, comfort, and comapnionship, even after his confession of once beating Narcissa. It's nice to see Ian back in the story, and I'm glad that Lucius realises he's got a problem and is willing to ask for help. Hopefully, with Ian and Padma's help, Lucius will be able to overcome his addiction. I love this story, and it's a real treat for me to beta for you.

You know, given that Padma is the title character, I didn't think I'd be asking for more Seamus & Tomas, but I am. Their story is turning out to be more and more interesting--not more than Lucius & Padma's, but not less so. Who'd've thought it would be so?
Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or was this chappie shorter than some of the others? I'm sure if that's the case, you have a good reason for it, but it also makes me more impatient for further installments.
I like that Lucius is actually going to deal with his drinking issues. This is another example of a real world problem that even magical folks would have to deal with. I also like the line about what Padma is going to do with her ovaries.

Oooh....I love it when a man calls a woman "darling".....and I can just picture Lucius purring that out....*shivers*
Yay! for Lucius and Padma finally giving in to their desire for one another. I liked it that he took them to the table instead of the bed. I love Dibby and his machinations in getting Lucius and Padma to do more and more "wizardy bonding". I found myself wishing he'd cast that fertility spell....I would so love to read how you would write Lucius as a nre father again at his age. I loved Lucius' touch of annoyance at thinking Padma doesn't consider him marrying material. Will he be determined to change her mind? I'm glad Lucius is taking steps to stem his alcoholic tendencies before they get out of hand. I love that you gave him this human touch. I just love the whole damn story, including that things are looking brighter for Tomas and Seamus. Yay! Can't wait for the next update, and to see what other little tricks Dibby gets up to!
