LOL, yes, our Hermione is predictable about her research, at least. I was surprised that Lucius used the same approach as he had with Draco. I really wonder what Mione is going to say. =) lol

More kisses!  Only of the Lucius flavor this time, and she wants to see him again!!!!!  And Draco still wants her as well.  Yes!!!  :D

Hermione's magic improved, but Lucius' magic is faulty.  Draco desires Hermione like she's made of chocolate, but he isn't feeling right about courting Hermione at this time.  I have more questions than answers.  Intriguing chapter!  :D

omgosh!  I can understand Lucius sacrificing for Draco, but I hope that it won't be necessary.  :D

That was some kiss!  *fans self*  When did Draco become such a Romeo?  Yummy What is up with Hermione's and Lucius' magic?  Erratic, weaker, more potent at times?  I love how Lucius considers a house elf revolt being to blame.  LOL The guilt Lucius feels from his attraction to Hermione is only natural.  He loves his son and doesn't want anything to come between that bond.  Unfortunately, Lucius is only a man, who has needs and desires just like everyone else.  Great chapter.  :Dl

Yikes!  Emotional overload.  She has to be embarrassed!  Draco is to be commended for his cool handling of the situation.  Interesting that she is dreaming of canoodling with both Malfoys.  :D

It has to be so disheartening for Hermione to have her hard work dashed by bureaurocratic posturing.  She takes her work very seriously.  At least it gave Draco an opportunity to ask her out again.  Lucius' reaction to Hermione's outrage is interesting.  Will he acknowledge his attraction or keep everything inside?  Great chapter!  :D

Once Hermione finds out that Lucius is on the up and up about the three of them as a triad, I think only maybe a niggling sense of propriety will be the only thing standing in her way. But she already knows she's strongly attracted to both Lucius and Draco - who wouldn't be? - so I doubt she'll be able to hold out for long. And I imagine Lucius is right about Draco... once he realizes Hermione is okay with going there, Draco will likely go along as well. Still, I think it may be a bit weird at first. I mean, father and son at the same time? A bit squicky, but what a way to go!

I'm sure she will accept the triad just as Draco already has. There is just one thing: you said there won't be any Malfoycest to use your word. What about the warning you set ? Is there some fourth person we're not aware of ?

She didn't even stay for dinner?  Poor Herms, wanting to do research when many of the books she will need are likely in the Malfoy library.  I hope she learns that their magic will blend in a week and then (if I understand correctly) they would be able to split the threesome with no ill effects, pair off if desired.  A week with both men in a romantic setting -- yes!  Thanks for the update.

Now it's getting really interesting...  Lovely work.  As always.

Whoa! o.o You hinted, but that totally came out of left field for me. Awww, but why WON'T Draco and Lucius be together that way? *evil smirk* I kid, I kid. It's amusing to think about though. Hermione's in for a shock. Hope she takes it well. o.o Thank you for new chapter, looking forward to the next!

Sounds like Hermione's a bit... erm, on edge? Poor Draco just can't do anything right. And I suspect Hermione's rather less-than-articulate performance at that meeting should give Lucius something to think about, especially since it began the moment Hermione laid eyes on him.

Watch your back Mione or you'll soon be tied to their bed without even noticing. (not that I complained and I doubt she will *grin*)

Definitely a great beginning! Hermione needs to learn how to relax and have fun, but Draco, I think, needs to beware of 'open mouth, insert foot' syndrome. Sounds to me, though, like Lucius gave his son some good fatherly advice  for a change. Personally, I can't wait to see what happens once he decides to approach Hermione himself.

I wish this chapter were longer. It's a very promising story and I long to read more, much more.

Too polite to be honest. I'm sure she's right to be suspicious. But she can always have fun.
