Mmm Lucius in boy shorts, what a delectable image ;)

:( Poor Thello

"I mean, you're very handsome and all-" LMAO... I'm really enjoying this story :)

Who?  Who?? Evil cliffie, that was! :)

Whose voice is that? Right now I can't think of any one with a cool, familiar but unwelcomed voice that could go through the Malfoy wards.

Hopefully she will throw that issue straight into the fire where it belongs! :)

Ouch. Good thing he told her that was coming! Thanks for the really rapid updates - this story is great

Sounds like another Skeeter headline. That odious woman must really have a death wish. If Draco's even half-right about Lucius' feelings regarding Rita's first attack, I have a feeling Ms. Skeeter might not be long for this world...

The big difference that exists between her and every darklord is that she feels bad about what she did. She is conscious about her mistake and wish to do everything in her power to NOT do it again. A bad person would relish in the fact that what they did was right and they would have satisfaction from it. I'm sure with a bit of time she'll understand that. Or her boys will have to distract her more often. *grin*

Neat spell.  Should have kept Rita like that for a week... :)

Wow! If she isn't careful she might become the next Dark Lady. And I don't think Harry could stop her. Maybe she should learn yoga or something similar to control her temper and magic outburst. Because she really is scary now.

LOL.  Will she go? :)

Love the story.  Avid follower, but horrible reviewer.  My heart plummetted when I read the returned note from the boys.  What a cliffie!

wow. amazing chapter.  i love that Thello is opening up to Hermione (despite Draco).  Can't wait for the next chapter!

I knew Lucius wouldn't regret having that nap.On another note if Ron and Harry true friends they will understand and support her decision once the shock of thr news has passed. At least, I expect they will.

Ah, there goes Harry getting all ridiculously paternal. Hermione's a grown woman and his friend, not his daughter. And I have a feeling that if Harry hasn't figured out the difference yet, he'll be forcefully made aware of it very soon...

EXCELLENT!!!!

I would love to read about any of the children they have and the "later" years...

I'm sure he won't regret taking a nap with her when she'll wake up... *grin*

Hmm.  He may just have to do other things too.  Shame. ;)

She’d mastered nearly everything she’d ever attempted,

Except I read it as she ‘masturbated’ nearly everything . . . 

Great lines in this chapter “she was petrified”  LOL!

Can't help it. I am a perpetual editor. Comes in handy when it's time for the final proof copy of the magazine before it goes to the printer, but it can be a pain when I want to read for enjoyment. LOL. -->Hermione had one arm around Lucius’ neck and then other reaching behind her.... should say "and the other..."Nice and steamy. Entertaining to read, and very enjoyable to imagine. Another well-done chapter. :)

editorial note: "We’ve hate for you to get lost trying to find the stable,"... should say We'd.Another interesting chapter. It's very entertaining to watch as the dynamic among them expands and changes.

It really is a mark of Draco's maturity that he can even express the views and voice the concerns he has in this chapter.  Hermione is right, they need to stay open and honest with each other.  Now, how do we go about getting Lucius a little one on one time with their favorite girl?  I would hate to see him pout.  Great update!  :D

That a very well thought chapter. I like that Draco shows his vulnerability by sharing his fears and concerns. It makes him more human.

Just a little overdressed! :)
