I thought I was going to read with one eye and a great deal of aprehension. So far...both eyes and I'm impressed, it is quite a telling story. You are building up your tale brilliantly and I'm reading along with anticipation of how things are going to play out. Thanks! Some things are too close to home, and I empathise with both characters (Lucius more than Hermione in some aspects - I have a cold controlling spouse). I've miscarried twice and my second daughter is a surviving twin (it is funny/strange how many things people can have in common, eh?).

Oh things are blossoming now.. I just think they don't see it yet, just look at his last words. And yes, Ron is a foolish man not to notice. The first "date" or unofficial date it might be called hehe. Can't wait for more!
And I hear you about the person they cast as Narcissa. I feel the same way!

Excellently written. You've evoked the harm that silence does in a relationship to perfection. Just one little thing: When she says 'I just don't have the palette for it, I suppose'--it's 'palate' for things like wine; 'palette' is the little board that artists use to mix paints.

Wow you need to thank your friend for guilting you into an update! Itseems that Hermiones new job is going to help her more with her life and less in her marriage, although alot of the blame lies with Ron. Lucius seems so lost it is truely heartbreaking. I don't think you have Narcissa ever coming around to forgive him, but, things are never perfect. It just makes the story more realistic. Well done!!

Chapter 8: The chasm is widening for Hermione and Ron. Looks like Lucius might be filling that chasm in. I don

How unfortunate that Ron cannot look beyond himself. Instead of sex, Hermione would have needed a hug and some kind, genuine words, some conversation. Somehow he manages to do everything possible to push her away. As the story is called "The Affair", I am not hoping for a fairy tale wedding in the end, but I sure hope that there is something good in store for them.

Excellent chapter. Very dramatic. It's quite a bit different from your other works. It really shows how great of a writer you are.

I'm very intrigued by your story thus far. I'm feeling somwhat sorrowful after reading your chapters, it's not so much dark as it's angsty. Lucius, Hermione, and even Ron seem so very sad. The way that you are developing how Lucius and Hermione are beginning to know one another begins to highlight what will be the foundations of attraction they'll begin to feel for one another. I do like Naricissa being called an attractive piece of fluff, she seems so vindictive. I've enjoyed all of the stories you have written so far, it's cool to see you going out on a different limb which I'm sure will be just as amazing as your other work.
