Hot damn this story is amazing! Snape on a wall. Nuff said.

Very entertaining! The image of Hermione laughing at an eyebrowless Lucius' slippers was oh, so hilarious. And Snape - he is being a very bad man. Sounds like he may be about to get a bit of a comeuppance? Can't wait to see what happens next!

Well it seems the cat is out of the bag about Lucius' drinking binges - was he sober enough to realize he was signing over all his assets to Hermione's control? He certainly seems to think she (along with everyone else) is laughing at him as they drain his coffers completely. Hopefully she can look at things with fresh, clear eyes and begin to stop the constant outward flow. Hopefully, she'll even gain a tiny bit of respect from him by actually *improving* his current finances.

What in the world is up with Severus? And just what has he walked into now with Minerva, Tonks and Remus besieging him all at once?

Jeez, it really sucks to be female in Wizarding England:

- A wizard is promoted to run Hogwarts over a more experienced and better qualified witch.
- The same wizard sexually exploits several of the witches who work for him.
- The most intelligent and promising young witch in the country is shuffled between demeaning and inconsequential assignments by those who run the government.
- The same witch is insulted, demeaned, and physically threatened by a wizard who is an ex-con.
- She doesn't seem to be able to stand up for herself, and has to run to her (male) boss to take care of her.
- The ex-con wizard physically assaults his most loyal female house elf.

I sure hope that the characters take a turn for the better soon. I love reading your Hermione-lemons!

Poor Tippy! Hermione is not going to like him mistreating his elves . . .

As much as I love the way you write HG/LM/SS, I think I am glad that Severus isn't going to be part of the pairing this time -- he is a bit of a bastard in this chapter.

Keep up the great work!

Another fun and sassy chapter :-)

I'm not sure which made me giggle more; Lucius losing it and railing at Hermione (and then of course, wanting yet another drink!) or her list of crap intern jobs (LMAO at the idea of anyone being a spell test tummy - let alone Hermione!)

Damn! What is up with Severus? He's using Tonks, pot AND homemade drugs? No wonder Minerva is so short-tempered with him. Looks like he's running a parallel course for self destruction with poor Lucius.

Really good so far. Can you imagine Lucius knowing that Hermione would have access to and knowledge of all of his financial dealings? It must have been more aggravating than her being sent there. Looking forward to next chapter. p

Although I wish Hermione hadn't allowed herself to be intimidated and kicked out of the Manor that quickly, the way you wrote it does seem realistic, given her youth, crappy intern experiences, and Lucius' Death Eater past. I look forward to a slow thawing out between them.

BTW, I love your spunky Minerva!

(Please don't forget about The Physical Fascination -- it is my favorite LM/HG/SS WIP.)

LOL - your portrayal of Severus is a hoot. He may have the title of Headmaster, but it seems Minerva may still be the one calling most of the shots. Glad he's got a little fun going on the side in his personal life. (**giggle** Does Pomona know he's raiding her greenhouses?)

Thank goodness at least Tippy is still loyal to Lucius, even if he is so far gone he's lost an entire week in his bottles. At least he's managed to pull himself together enough now to attempt to create the illusion of everything being 'normal' in the manor. However, I doubt the intrepid Miss Granger will be fooled for long.

Let the power struggles begin! :-D

The build up of that chapter was perfect. From poor Tippy's view of things to Severus and Tonks' romp and then on to Lucius' cleanup, you covered every base and set it up wonderfully for Hermione's arrival. I can't wait to see their reactions to one another. Thank you, hon! HG4eva
