ch 21 - wow, they finally started THINKING instead of just reacting. Still need a bit of work, but it looks more hopeful. I'm glad he finally told her about his "pervert" reputation at Hogwarts, and yeah, Lucius is definitely cuter and sexier than the elderly Dumbledore. I am not sure if Hermione will ever learn that it really was Severus who searched through the marriage contracts; too scary to think of Lucius and Hermione both being afraid of their spouse not loving them. Thanks for the new chapter! I hope it's safe for Hermione to go outside with just an elf.

Another excellent chapter! LOL at the pictures too xD Ahhh, so Lucius has finally realised he is being baited. Hermione has lost out there, I suppose... no more easy routes to getting a spanking! I hope she does stick around. As much as she hates to admit it, she and Lucius suit each other quite well. AND, the idea of Lucius sharing her with Severus makes me hawt! But since Severus is married to Narcissa, I guess that won't be happening LOL. Look forward to the next chapter!

First off thank you for answering my question so thorough and I can certainly see your view of it.
I enjoyed reading Lucius thoughts and its nice to see that he has insecurities, it makes his character much more complex.
Oh and I forgot to mention before that I find Narcissa's and Snape's absolutely adoreable.

great chappy.

I very much liked this chapter, it's getting to the meat of things. I wish hermione would throw him a bone, but I'm impatient. :D I like that she is figuring him out a bit. It seems like she has made a breakghrough with him at this meal, so the pieces look like they will start to fall into place soon.

Chapter Twenty-One:

They are slowly, very slowly getting there, but neither one is willing to let go of their preconceived notions. He better hope she never finds out that Snape really was the one who chose her.

How in Hade's name I managed to miss the previous installment I have absolutely NO idea, but that means you get a double review now. Let's get on with it, shall we?

Chapter 20: I'll pretend not to be thoroughly disappointed with a Lucius for whom 'tentative truce in the tub lasted for a few quiet days' (honestly! is the man REALLY getting old?) for the sheer brilliance that was Malfoy/Snape dialogue. And I will charge you for the coffee-stained shirt and keyboard at a later date...
BTW, I think my spouse officially hates you now. Apparently, he doesn't mind sharing his wife (as far as 'read only' activities go, at least) but he DOES mind sharing his wine... LOL

Chapter 21: So... Her Royal Primness needed to get sloshed in order to start contemplating something besides her husband's serpentine tongue? Too bad you had her sidetracked mid-way. AGAIN. *counts to 100 Hufflepuffs and back* Hopefully those "boobless, hipless, pre-nubile, giggly young things" will prove more successful at setting Mrs Malfoy's priorities straight than poor Lucius is?
As for the plan... Speak softly and carry a pissed-off wife, you will go far. LOL

The bat-guano joke by Snape was priceless :) as was Hermione slapping Lucius.
I'm really enjoying your story and I like your writing style. Bringing Hermione and Lucius together shouldn't go easy.

Not criticism, but it would be interesting to hear your thoughts about it!
I'm slightly surprised by Hermione's lack of knowledge about sex, while I certainly can see her as inexperienced I would expect her to have a bit more of a clue at least in the vanilla department. But I guess she might have been influenced by her surroundings in the what I perceive as the conservative wizarding world and I doubt "sex and coexistence" is a part of Hogwarts curriculum.

Looking forward to next part
