Wonderful fun! I'm glad evil Edwina has been apprehended! Hope that facilitates the downfall of her plans and her husband. Looking forward to more excitement in the next chapters.

I don't know how I missed this chapter, but what a nice surprise to find TWO chapters to read today!! This was very nicely done... I love the relationship you're building between Severus and Hermione: I can see her being drawn to him and confused about it.Oh, I also loved Rose's line about now being a slave to fashion. What a well-adjusted line for a teenager - and as such teens are exceedingly rare in this world, the ones who exist are to be highly praised!!Excellent chapter... couldn't pull myself away!

Dear Ms F.,Might it be due to Ike that it escaped your notice? Alas, I'm glad you appreciate two chapters in one go; bargains are always nice to find.I am, to this day, glad to have left Severus and Hermione to their own devices at that time. It resulted in the end result being achieved much sooner than I'd dared hope.Yours,Lucius Malfoy

Wow; that was a wonderful chapter. Tons of plot advancement, both character-wise and within the storyline. Here's my absolute favorite part:Potter glanced at him from the side. “I’m not going to discuss my sex life with you. Lucius.”“Oh, that’s a relief. Saves me hexing your mouth closed,” Lucius said, smirking again. Those have to be the best lines I've read in a story in quite some time. VERY well done!!!

Oh, a mother's intuition is a force to be reckoned with!It seems to be that Rose and Hugo being kidnapped will open a whole can of worms that the 'bad guys' would rather remain closed. Aren't their activities supposed to be covert?On a lighter note, I was suitably amused to discover that Lucius's Patronus is a How utterly ironic.Looking forward to seeing how this is resolved.

I've totally been in love with two people at once. Quite hard that. And confusing.
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Yes, I would think so. It's not something that happens every day in this world, so one has the 'society' aspect to deal with as well...Thank you for pointing that out! And thanks for the shiny stars! Lucius sends his regards. ;)

Ooh, I liked that chapter, quite a bit. And Lucius doesn't mind sharing, it sounds like, so Sev and Hermione need to loosen up. I'm guessing it will be earth-moving. Hee.

So much things are happenning at the same time. Glad that this cow Wilson is going to be tried. But that led me to believe we are nearing the end. 
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Yes, we are slowly winding down. It's been an exciting adventure, and thankfully, a bit more is yet to come. :)Thank you for reviewing, and thank you for the shiny stars. Lucius sends his regards.

oooo! a trial! lets feed wilson (and ron by association) to brazilian racing dragons! o.o; it would be fun!
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Racing dragons, now there is an idea!Thank you!
Response from keske (Reviewer)
^.^ I'm going to use them in one of my fics! ^.^ Soccer isn't the only thing happening in south america. dragon racing is the South American version of those ocean of fire arabian horse races!I imagine they look something like this --> http://anafiel.deviantart.com/art/brazilian-racing-dragon-98451535
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Hee, interesting! I agree, there is far more to South America than soccer, but the racing dragons are new to me.
Response from keske (Reviewer)

Hmm seems Ron is due to receive a wake up call. I only hope when he finds out he has been "mind fucked" that he does not try to get Hermione back. The poor woman is screwed up enough finding herself with feelings for two men, both drastically different from the freckled faced imbacile. And I wonder just when Harry is going to be able to wrap his mind around the thought that Draco is planning on seducing him and Ginny?Intriguing tangled web you weave.
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Oh, I'm sure Ron would try. But how can he find Hermione? She has, after all, disappeared off the face of the earth. *snickers*Harry will get there, no worries. He does so love saving the world, does he not?Thank you for reviewing. Lucius has, as usual, snatched the shiny stars. They make him happy.

Lucius' meeting with Harry went well, and their meeting with Kingsley went even better! Now Edwina Wilson will be held to account on the part she has played in the machinations to take over the world!Hermione is beginning to understand the changes she is feeling, and Severus is feeling more relaxed in his "relationship" with her, and Rose and Hugo seem to be adapting quicker than their mother. Hugo clearly adores Severus.It will be interesting to see how Edwina responds under the effects of Veritaserum, and I want to see how Ron responds when he realizes what Edwina really thinks about him... "retard fuck buddy" indeed!Another wonderful chapter!Beth

Crop circles in three dimensional form, talking animals, UFOs... the world under the surface is such a magickal place!I wonder what Lucius has in mind when he and Harry go to meet Kingsley Shacklebolt. And Draco has a crush on Harry and Ginny! Wow! Where are you taking us on this fabulous journey?Knowing what the Wilson's failed Plans #1 and #2 were, I fear to imagine what their Plan #3 is, but I'm glad that Severus, Lucius, Karl, and Lola are out to make certain that it fails, as well.Great chapter!Beth

Aw, another lovely review from you! Thank you! Indeed, the world down below is a magickal place, and the people there would love to see the surface enjoying the same paradise-like atmosphere. :)

Well, it certainly looks like Edwina is in for it. Serves her right. And yes, Hermione, please do accept that a person can "love" more than one man at once!
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Oh, I'm sure Hermione will see that very soon. *grins*Thanks for reviewing!

“Potter. Why don’t we drop the formalities? After all, your best friend shares my bed, and my son is about to seduce you. Harry.” That is so funny! And Edwina is in SO much trouble. :D

Oh what a wonderful, thought provoking story. There are really too many great points to point them all out, but I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed it immensely.Love Sonia :)

Thanks for writing a such fabulous story. I liked it very much

Thank you for reading and for reviewing. Lucius sends his thanks for the stars, which he adores. :)
Great story, I loved the details and how you went in depth with this story, beautifully written. I like how you included other beings such as the little people, wonderful, I hope you make a sequel. Severus + Hermione + Lucius = SMOKING HOT! lol, this was excellent, the pairing is great and the way you described each of them and their own thoughts and feelings was perfect. Thank you for sharing this story with all of us, brillant work. :D
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Thank you very much for your kind words! I greatly enjoyed writing this little tale, and I'm absolutely tickled that you like it!
Thanks for writing these few lines in Spanish. It was interesting to read. I suppose Snape can speak Spanish very well, for that reason I want to suggest:"Hacen un par hermoso."---» "Hacen una hermosa pareja" "Oh, pienos que ella paraceria mejor conmigo." ---» "Oh, pienso que ella se vería mejor conmigo" "¿Porque no lo pruebas?" ---» "¿Por qué no pruebas? or "¿Por qué no lo intentas?" I know this fic is complete but I just wanted to make this remark.
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Thanks for pointing those out! My Spanish is non-existent and I had to rely on a friend to translate.
Well, now I'm caught up on this tale (you may write more). It is a great deal of fun with neat new magic stuff from your own wonderful imagination. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
I'm glad you've caught up, and I'm even more glad I'm allowed to write more of it. LOLThanks for your lovely review and the stars. Lucius adores them.

Catching up on my Challenge reading (and your funny reviews and answers, too) I am really happy to see the plot moving along nicely. I am still not a Malfoy fan (pere or fils) but this is a good story and very original and interesting. Thank you for such a fascinating tale. *skips happily off to next chapter*
