Interesting and fun! I do admit to wanting the story between Severus and Hermione to go on, and was half-expecting Harry and Draco to be matched up as well! The concept of the Inconceivables is almost too interesting to let drop after one chapter... :)

Snigger!I truly love your idea and the style, need to read on...

This is very original, and the idea of a secret society in the wizarding world is fascinating. I love the idea that the Malfoys are participating in creating Muggle-born witches and wizards. As others have said, this is so intriguing that I'd love to read a lot more of it.

I loved it! What a cute, sweet story. I only wish there was more. I really enjoyed your idea of where muggle-borns come from. It was well thought-out. I so wish this was more than a one-shot! Keep up the great writing!

what a truly unique story.  loved the idea of malfoy being the inconceivables' "bitch"  great stuff.  thanks so much

*applauds*  Well done.  I enjoyed this.  A unique premise for a story.  Any possibility for further exploration of the relationships discovered?  could be interesting....I kept hearing Vizzini from Princess Bride every time I read the Inconcievables.  *giggle*

I find the idea of the Inconceivables to be quite original, but I have mixed feelings about Muggle-borns being created this way. As always, your writing is engaging.

Ooooh, conspiracy theories in the wizarding world! Never thought of anything like that before. This was most excellent-- I loved Padma and Lucius, and the end was so sweet!

What an unusual idea, a secret society among wizards - that help bring about the creation of Muggle-borns. It was such a shock that the Malfoys were the ones to instigate this group and Draco - and all his bluster, Lucius iwth all his sneering are actually in this group!  Really threw me for a loop. Still, I like the concept.

Ohh nice one.  I'd have loved to read more!

A lovely story, I really enjoyed reading it!

The idea that a secret society within the wizarding world is manipulating Muggle DNA is certainly unique.Like many other reviewers, I would certainly be interested in learning more about the Inconceivables.I'm not so sure about the romantic aspects you've added to the story. To me, they just don't seem like a necessary component. (Although I did love that Lucius is 'tired' of blondes!) I adore Snape/Hermione stories, but within the context of this story it just seemed too sudden and jarring. I think in a longer, multi-chaptered story, I would have been happy to see a romance develop between them, but it seemed 'off' somehow here. I really love the basic story, however, so please don't be offended!

Such an original premise, and I like it very much.  The idea that there is another group, the Inconceivables... housed within the Unspeakables... which is housed with the Department of Mysteries... which is part of the Ministry of Magic... is so wonderful!  I love all the layers one can find in the Wizarding world, and you have added another.  Good for you!I'm happy for Lucius and Padma to have found happiness in each other, but I am beside myself that Hermione and Severus have come together.  The scene at the end where a sleeping Snape has his long, lean frame stretched out, half on the sofa, half on the low table, with Miss Granger asleep in his lap is perfect.  It is a scene of happiness and relaxation, both of which are usually in short supply for Severus, that makes my heart smile.A Thousand Points to Your House!  Thank you. And judging from the other comments, I'd say you have a ready audience if you decided to add to this delightful story.Hugs, Beth

Original and fascinating! That certainly made for a different Christmas for Hermione, in more ways than one.

What an unusual concept. I have to admit, accepting the Malfoys' role in all that is rather hard.

Just as Hermione's parents had never bought into the conspiracy theories that the Muggle world was owned by secret societies, Hermione was above believing such twaddle.LOL. Trust you. I really liked this - although I must admit I was half expecting Severus to tell Hermione she'd been selected for some special breeding programme. And you got 2012 in as well. I'd love to see you continue this;it's right up my street.

Oh, now that was good and I really Like the idea of a sub-set organisation within the Unspeakables. It all works very well and I like the uncommon pairing of Lucius and Padma.I'd actually like to see you expand this, as I'd like to know more about the Inconceivables and the machinations they've wrought in the wizarding world. Oh, and Merry Christmas! :)

Interesting concept... i need a sequel.

Author's Response: *drops dead* You left me a review! LOL

Thank you! *pats the shiny stars*

Brilliant!  Love the winter sunrise with Sev.  :)

Intriging story. I would love to hear more on this topic.

What an interesting premise.  To think that Severus gave Hermione her witchly powers.  All that worry on Hermione's part about not having a 'love'... all for naught.  I'm glad Severus made a move here.  And Lucius and Padma... not something I would have originally thought of, but a nice pairing in this story.

LOL seems so inconcievable that Lucius Malfoy, the one in canon that hated Muggle-borns so much would in fact see to their creation, let alone ensure their exsistance. Good tale, I like how you explain the rationale and for some odd reason it makes sense. I loved Severus in this story. Whoot he gets to gether with Hermione.

Damnit! XD So much build-up, I expecting this to be multi-chaptered with everyone coming together to solve a big puzzle/battle again. It's nice to have everyone meeting for something less than disastrous for a change, though. ;)
Thanks for sharing!

Oooooh, that bit about Severus manipulating Hermione's DNA is particularly baffling and intriguing. And the Malfoys causing muggle-borns whilst being Death Eaters is just mind-boggling. I'd be very interested in reading a lot more about this interesting premise you've set up.
