I thought Draco's conversation with Hermione was very well written. Very much in canon regarding their reactions to each other. No, Lucius should never wear robes with spangles on them. It would be over the top, ala Gilderoy Lockhart. Yes, I do love me some Draco. Sex on legs, he is definately a welcome addition.

I found the confrontation very believable--I can see her drawing that line in the sand and then inviting him over it. I can also see any number of females students hiding in his store cupboard for a quick erotic ambush between classes, LOL. Then again, Yanking Lucius into a secret passage has its' own appeal.

I really liked the conversation between Draco and Hermione. You would hope that in the years after the war they would have been able to put aside their differences. I do adore how the thought that Hermione genuinely cares about Lucius was shown in Draco's perception that he was never worth a wand wave before. Love how you used that. It gave Draco a level of self-awareness that was possible but not apparent in the books. Makes me relook at how this Draco took not being important enough to a muggleborn overachiever for all this time. And it was cute how his little Lucius mannerisms thawed her out toward him as well. If he can stop using pureblood prejudiced terms and make public peace with Hermione, I think he will be an asset to Snape and Lucius' plans. If he incites resentment, maybe not so much. It will be interesting to see what you do with him. I can certainly be a Draco fan, as he has some of the best potential to be redeemed in the real books. Not to mention the fact he had to go through hell living in the same place as the dark lord, saw so much torture and death that he tried to protect the trio as best he could in the only way he knew. He above most others would probably be sickened by the insaninty that he witnessed. Any response he has toward prejudice about purebloods would probably be insightful and born of hard won wisdom. But there still is a bit of prat in him, I can tell. :D

Black robes were very elegantly Lucius. I give a happy sigh thinking about how movie Lucius looks in his awesome garb.

I loved when Hermione grabbed Draco by the hair. And he seemed to enjoy whatever that meant to him too. I guess it meant she cared enough about his father to make him more resigned to things. I do think he adds something interesting to the mix.

I guess if I was a teenage girl, and had a choice between a single Draco, and a married Lucius. I would crush on Draco, and fantasize about Lucius.

As for the robes Lucius tried on first, the first thing I thought was, he was channeling Dumbledor.

Love the story, heck, all of your stories are wonderful.

Can't wait to read more.

Wow, LaBib...

I started reading this last night and have just been thrown into the most wonderful world! While I like the idea of the marriage contract, this puts a whole new spin on the tale. I must admit when first reading the summary, I thought it to be a threesome tale. How wrong was I?!

First off, hats off to you for a genuinely great portrayal of Lucius, again. I adored him in your first few fics, but this one is by far my favorite. I love the way he fought with his dark side through the dark magic of Voldemorts mark - very enthralling. I can understand Lucius being tempted very much by the magic that caused him to be feared and somewhat respected in the uncertainty of the wizarding world of your tale. It'd be very easy for him to allow it to take hold, but I like that Lucius won't let himself be swept away again. I adore courageous Lucius.

I also like the way Hermione is in this tale; her backbone is very, very firmly secured and underneath the devil may care attitude she sometimes presents, I can see the softer side. After all, who doesn't want to be loved and cared for. I can see the cracks forming in her psyche, allowing for slithers of Lucius to come through in her personality.

Bravo on the Snape/Narcissa relationship- I very much appreciate that Narcissa is strong, and I like that she can prove to be a source of advice and a bearer of confidences too. I hope to see their friendship progress.

I can't wait to read more!

Oh, it would be Lucius - no doubt about that
another stunning chapter as per usual. Is it pathetic that I pray for every chapter to have some L/H smut?
