Lucius plays??! Oh! Be still my beating heart!
Andy wants a Steinway - but unless we win the lottery he's no chance! I play sax and flute - and my sax is a work of art! Its a Selma - and they're the Rolls Royce of saxes! Its simply Gorgeous! I've two flutes, one is about 30 years old and are no longer made, and the other one is a mass-produced Yamaha, though it's still lovely, but not quite as lovely as the other one.
Does this tie in a little bit with 'Something in the way she moves'? Is this a hint to where Draco gets his musical talent from? I can almost see Lucius teaching a very little Draco like my Mum taught me. She started teaching me to read music when I was three, and by four I was pretty much 'fluent' in another language! (Though, I only read one cleff) Music is another language, and every piece is like a little holiday where you've had to take a phrase book.
And I'm rambling on and on and it has stuff all to do with the fic!
I can't see Lucius willingly owning a white piano; I see him as a black fan, or perhaps redwood... maybe his Gran was buying something she'd want to see in the Manor, rather than something he'd really want. The flowers painted on top don't sound too Lucius-like... though it is wonderful to know he plays it! Maybe he had his eyes closed so he didn't have to look at it! lol!
I can't believe they did it practically on the piano! If that was Andy's piano, I'd have been shot for suggesting it! Though, I think wizarding items are much easier to polish fingerprints off.
Why did he show her the piano, rather than the harp? Or is it just that the piano commands all attention in the room and she was drawn to it for that reason? Though, anyone looking for a 'dark instrument' isn't going to notice something "insignificant" propped up in a corner when there's something like that on full view... if you want to hide something, put it right under their noses and nobody will see it.
Lust spell... nah, just pheromones, though the choking thing really had me squirming. I don't like violence.
I wonder if Hermione will have to spend more time with Lucius to complete her studies... though he DOESN'T have an instrument because they're illegal *wink* so it would be all theory and no practice. *giggle*

I glad that story "came" to you. I know a very bad pun. The stories you write are a blessing to read. Please keep the stories coming.

Ooh, I would so have Lucius against a piano. Nice twist at the end.

Well, Lucius certainly got the attention he was demanding. Lucky Hermione got to go along for the ride (literally). Him telling her that the piano wasn

Loved this for many reasons...Lucius as grumpy widowed recluse, his protective reaction when Hermione reaches for him at the piano, the phrase 'a pile of silk confetti' in reference to the clothing and underthings discarded on the floor, and of course, the twist at the end. Great work as usual!

This was great! You have such a marvelous "grasp" of the Lucius character. (Don't I wish I did! - in more ways than one ;) ) Wonderful as always.
