Oh, plot! Love it. I wonder what the physical difference between purebloods and mixed parentage is, in that something would single them out and affect them. (unless it was a spell or influenced by a spell) And Snape is not affected, but he's a generally outwardly unpleasant chap most days, so maybe it's already in his nature and combating it might just be a familiar daily reality for him. But, your past foray into the stationery shop makes me wonder if paper is connected to this, as vapor and food has been ruled out. You might be tricky enough to have brought us there for that reason! :D Plus you mentioned the paper colors that Draco had been accumulating in detail. Also, I assume that bookish Ravenclaws do more homework than the rest of the school and would therefore be exposed to more paper. I'm ON TO YOU! lol, probably not but I love theorizing and overthinking. But if it's about tainted parchment, I get to have a gold star! (or an hour with Lucius) ;)

I did love the interaction between Draco and Lucius, it was good to see. And also the fact that Lucius was haunted by the violence of his death eater days. That bodes well for a future with Hermione, that he has such regrets.

OK, so the curse or whatever affects witches, and they haven't figured that out yet, not really. Men. Bah. Anyway, though, I like the insights into the whys and wherefores of Lucius's mind.

Trusses are also for bridges :)

Omigosh! I love plot!

I kind of expected Lucius to get the Stalin reference, but I was wrong.

Ooooh! Selective perfume! Awesome! *says awesome in a very teenage way... AWWWWE-SOME*

*giggle* It's super stamina perfume... cool.

I'm imagining Lucius controlling a thousand rulers with his wand and spanking all of the students. He could whack them on the palm of their hands instead?

Maybe it's something in the water?

Lol Gods, could Lucius and Severus stop teasing the hell out of each other when they're alone? I mean seriously! lol

I see the bond beginning to reform between Draco and Lucius and that is a wonderful thing. I hope their bond continues to grow, though with out the sex talk. (eww lol j/k j/k)

As I read Lucius' mentality, he does seem to be trying to form a bond with Hermione. I hope they both lower their walls again and at least attempt to trust each other even just a small amount out side of the bedroom.

Great chapter! Can't wait for the next one!

ch 39 - I'm glad the boys are talking more openly with each other. I wonder if doing detention with Filch would quality as physical pain. This hex seems to make folks imagine things about purebloods -- bad things as well as good things, since the students find Lucius and Draco attractice. I wonder if Severus is not quite immune, but he is accusomed to controlled his thoughts? You'll surpise us next chapter, I'm sure! BTW, I enjoyed reading your responses (in your LJ) re last chapter; I learn more about your story and how you see your characters. Thanks for updating!

Hmmm. Something that both objectifies and anathemizes the Pureblood segment of society, while lowering inhibitions over all. If it didn't, the girls wouldn't be becoming agressive toward one another, although you didn't write if it was mixed-bloods being aggressive to purebloods or if it was over all. Maybe it's in the Laundry soap? Everyone uses that in one form or another.

Loved it! *fans self* Loved the scene between Lucius and Hermione. And I also liked the part where Severus and Hermione reached some understanding between them. Looking forward to reading the next chapter!
