ohh sneaky snape granger there!!! I hope he changes his mind soon, after all, muggles aren't all that bad
Well done.
Aaah. I see the misunderstanding. In my first review I misspelled Lucius, "Lucious-oriented story", in January. My second note, two minutes later, I was castigating myself, "LuciUs, LuciUs". And I enjoyed this second read-through just as much as the first time.
Dear writer, I LOVED this story. Please develop it further. It would be a real shame if the fans of pureblood didn't read a story where we find Lucius slowing coming around. That would be a very interest read. Any chance of it?
This was very nice. Like the twist at the end (well we knew it was coming but it was nice anyway) I almost felt sorry for him!
Wow..that was really good...It had me fooled though...lol
Author's Response: I'm glad you didn't see it coming; I strive to be somewhat original at least ;-) Thank you for reviewing.
It's LuciUs, LuciUs. Looking for the crack in the earth to open up and swallow me whole.
Author's Response: I'm afraid I don't understand what you are trying to say with your review. Do you think Lucius is OOC? Did I spell his name wrong occasionally? If you have constructive criticism, feel free to explain.
I love it! This is the first Lucious-oriented story I've read. You portray his wonderful, snobby attitude well.
Author's Response: thank you so much. I did my best to try and reason what Lucius would think and do in certain situations, but it is always nice to hear it comes across. Thank you.
I enjoyed the read, and somehow found myself craving a cup of hot tea and getting sleepy along with Lucius, and I'm not sure how that really came about; but now I'm wondering what conditioning they were talking about there too. Hmmm... will read again and see if I might've missed it this read. Good writing. :-)
Author's Response: Hahaha, I didn't know professor Snape's potion was THAT strong! I should have known I guess... Clues about what Snape and Hermione were trying to do can be found in their conversation at the end; especially Snape's remarks should help you along. thank you for a lovely, lovely review!
Oh, do continue this please! It's really good!
Author's Response: Well...it is a one-shot and I have a WIP HG/LM on FFN. But thank you for the nice compliment!
Cool. I love the plot twists! Thanks for the post!
Author's Response: Thank YOU for the review! It's very nice to hear people like the story..as I said in the AN, it was just one of that bunnies that refuses to go away (smile).
Oh please tell me you are going to continue this! There is so much potential!!!
Author's Response: This was originally meant as a one-shot and for now it will remain that. I have a large HG/LM story on FFN I want to finish first. But..I'll confess that since posting this story here i have been toying with ideas what the next chapter would be like... Thank you so much for the review.
This is a nice twist! I hope that this gets developed further, despite this being a one shot. A ha-ha on Lucius too! Thinking he couldn't get attracted to a "mere" muggle :-P
Author's Response: I am glad you enjoyed the twist so much, couldn't really say where I got the idea , haha. But I rather like the idea of Hermione showing Lucius how wrong he is about Muggles. thanks for the lovely review.
I've read this before, loved it then, and loved it now. It's a wonderful case of clever 'poisoning' and conditioning. Following Lucius' thought patterns from dispassionately lethal to benevolent nostalgia was fascinating.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for this wonderful comment! It was just one of that plot bunnies that wouldn't leave me alone until I had written it all out...despite my being uncertain it could work. Thank you for putting my mind at ease; coming from an accomplished author like yourself, it means the world to me.
