Yay, an update!!! Hermione is so much in love with Lucius (anyone who's not?;) I never thought that our blond beauty could be so romatic, when he wants, or maybe when he's got something planned :) And I'm really curious about Snapes part in this story... I'm waiting impatiently for a next chapter!! :)
Author's Response: Thanks, zen. I really adore our sneaky Slytherin, especially in this story. I have to keep elements of this one slipping into another story where he was a real bastard...As for his being romantic, well, he is Slytherin so you never know what his motives are. ;)...Keep reading for more info, I hope to have the next chapter up by the end of next week. For a bit of good news, I have more or less finished my other story, so this one can get undivided attention for a little while (until the Snape!muses come and take over again)
Hurrah, an update!!!You made my Friday night!
Whatever is Lucius up to? I really love the letters, they are so sweet!
This is getting to be one of my all time favourite stories, I hope you find time to provide more gorgeous blond and preferably shirtless Lucius very soon!
Author's Response: Thanks, Angel. I think the next chapter is going to be a harder one to write as I have separated our lovers. Oh, and if I have my way, there will definitely be more shirtless Lucius. ;) I just realzied he made two appearances this chapter. :D
still slightly suspicious about his motives but can't wait for more.
Author's Response: It's good to be suspicious. After all, he is a Slytherin. ;) Hopefully there will be another chapter up next week. I'm browbeating my muses into submission. Actually, they rather like this story so it shouldn't be a problem.
Fantastic, brilliant, what a great story! I absolutely love Lucius/Hermione, and you have a great plot going here, I can't guess what happens next! Please don't leave this story unfinished, (so many authors do that!)
Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks, Angel. Don't worry about me abandoning this. I have yet to leave a work unfinished. :) And I have no intention of starting now. As long as there are readers, I will finish this story. :) The update should be up this weekend at the latest.
I hope Lucius doesn't actually believe Hermione is getting back together with Ron! Please tell Ron to go jump!! I love the story and I'm glad Severus is not really bad in your story!! Keep up the good work and update soon, please!!
Author's Response: Thanks, TNgirl. We'll see how the secret/misunderstanding plays out. Yeah, she doesn't need to be with Ron. As for Severus, I have no idea which side he's really on, but I have my belief and my fic will reflect that. :D I'm working on the update and it should be up this week.
Well, it's going to get out that Ginny things HG & RW are back together once Hermione goes back to Hogwarts, because Hermione is not interested in Ron, so she'll give him the brush-off, etc., etc. Thanks for the post! I'm glad you've continued to write this story.
Author's Response: The worst thing about lies, is that they can compound and come back to haunt you.
good one. cna't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thanks, Makalani. The muses appreciate the encouragement, especially the evil ones. ;)
Oh, I hope your muses help you get the next chapter up quick!!! This was a great chapter and I hope that Ginny doesn't suspect anything too soon!!!
Author's Response: Thanks, JTBJAB. The muses are working though they are fighting over the two stories right now. In between, I need to get my Deathday entry polished....Ah, Ginny, yeah, that could cause problems, couldn't it? :D
Ack! You know... I like Ron and Hermione growing into a couple in JKR's story... But as far as fan fiction goes, and the way Ron acts in most of the Fan fictions, I just can't imagine the two of them together! How does Hermione keep her mouth shut when Ginny talks as if the two of them are together? I don't have the discipline to not fuss at someone for assuming things like that! Poor Hermione... She has no one to share her secret with! I am looking forward to the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks, Shiloh. You know, I never really could see R/H. Perhaps in the future once he grows up some, but not teenage Ron. Of course, teenage boys in general tend to be pretty immature so I suppose he's no worse than the others...As for Hermione keeping her mouth shut, shock can be an amazing thing. ;) Secrets and lies, a recipe for trouble...time will tell how that plays out.
This is good! Looking forward to reading the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks, kanoni. I'm working on the final draft for my Wolfsbane story and then I can get to the rewrite of this one. Definitely by the end of the week.
“It so happens that you have something I want.”
oh wow! It sounds so deliciously tempting! please update soon! ^_^
Author's Response: Thanks, tei hakuto. I'm finishing up the next chapter so it should be up in a few days.
Oooh, what is it that Lucius has that Severus wants...oh you are a meanie - im just glad you got them 2 together - thank you!
Well done with the chapter - i look forward to the next one!
Author's Response: Thanks, JTBJAB. I'd apologize for being a meanie, but it's so much fun to leave cliffhangars.
The addition of Snape to your story is interesting. Will he add value to Lucius or just cause a lot of problems? Thanks for continuting. Ron NEEDS to suffer!
Author's Response: Snape was an intersting addition, wasn't he? As for what role he plays, that will unfold. *wink* This story has the primary attention of my muses right now and I'm having to wrestle them to work on other things. Ron, well, he's being Ron. He can't really help that he's thick about some things. :D
intersting. can't wait to see what lm has that ss wants. hg? can't wait for more.
Author's Response: You'll see what Snape wants in the next chapter. Though that's kind of an obvious statement, isn't it? Should be up by the end of next week. I'm glad so many are enjoying this story. :)
WOW! I am stunned! I can't wait to see what's going to happen next! I look forward to it with heated breath! So, I take it Severus is true to the Dark Lord? Not just that, but now we have questions in our minds if Lucius has really changed sides or not. OUCH!!! Poor Hermione, if she had heard that conversation, she would feel so betrayed!
Author's Response: Excellent. This chapter is getting just the sort of reaction I hoped it would. That's always the problem with people that switch sides, have they really switched? I really wanted to bring Severus in and was glad of this opportunity. Oh yes, I imagine Hermione would be quite upset if she knew what her lover was doing.
Oh God! You are just leaving me hanging here?! Please update! I want to know why Snape is there! (yes, I know it's Snape.). Please, please, PLEASE update soon!!!!!!! I am dying to know what happens next!!!!!
Author's Response: Is it wrong that it makes me give an evil chuckle when I see how much the suspense is getting to you. :) Thanks for the review. The update has been submitted, so it should be up soon.
I have to ask? Have you ever read or seen the movie "Dangerous Liaisons"? If not, you should. Lucius is Valmont incarnate and Hermione is so like Tourvel regarding their similar innocence. Let me guess, is Lucius, who is in it for the game, going to get caught up in it? After all, even a master manipulator can twist reality to the point where even he doesn't know for sure what he is feeling? What do you think? Huh. LOVE THE STORY
Author's Response: tabitha, thanks for the review. Truthfully, I've only ever heard of DL, not read or seen it. As for how it goes, you'll just have to keep reading and see what my muses decide. :) I'm glad you are enjoying the story. My muses are having great fun with teh many aspects and like to throw me monkey wrenches all the time.
Oh, who could that be?!?!?!
Update soon - pretty pretty please!
Author's Response: JTBJAB, thanks for reviewing. The next chapter should be submitted Friday at the latest, then it's in the hands of TPTB. :) I love causing some suspense.
snape? can't wait to hear the rest of this!
Author's Response: The mystery guest will be revealed soon. Don't worry. :) Thanks for reviewing.
This is good! Is it Snape that shows up? Looking forward to reading the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks, kanoni. You'll find out who it is in the next chapter. I wanted it to be surprise. :)
Write more I'm enjoying this story=)
Author's Response: Thanks, Midnightlilly. I'm having tons of fun writing this one, too. :)
OMG, who in Hell is that? Please update SOON!!!!!
Author's Response: Bwahahahaha!!! I really couldn't resist on that.
Yeah... I'll say you added to the suspense! I am practically seething. Weasley is such a prat! I can imagine Hermione going nuts wanting to be able to be openly affectionate with Lucius, but not being able to because her friend is such an ass! Not that I can't understand Ron's concern, but damn! Ok... Next chapter! Soon, please? I am enjoying this story so very much!
Author's Response: Yes, it was evil of me to cut it off there.
Oh! To be treated that way by such a gloriously handsome man would be a dream come true! BUT, is it just a plan or could he possibly be feeling something for her? Also, I know we view Lucius as scheming but shouldn't he be feeling some pain over his lose? Just a thought. Anyway, I really enjoy your story. Keep it up!
Author's Response: Ah, tabitha, thanks for the review. Keep reading, your questions will be answered in future chapters. :) I've actually just finished the second run through parts that address those concerns. I've always been amazed by the complexity of the human psyche. ;)
Oh GODS! You bring your reader to heights and then end it like that?! I don't know whether to be extremely frustrated, or highly amused! lol.
Author's Response: That was cruel of me, wasn't it? Thanks for reviewing SataiDelenn. I really had fun with this chapter. :)
