This was such fun!  I'm not a big Lucius fan, so the fact that I liked him and was rooting for his success means you've done well.

What a fantastic solution!! Lovely mix of comedy, romance & just a wee bit of angst to drive you through the story. I am looking forward to re-reading this one when I need a pick-me-up.

Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Taxing Affair)

Thank you!  Re-reading is the greatest compliment you could pay an author.  :)

I think this is my third time reading this story. It never gets old, it's still funny and I think the best word to describe it is charming. Your writing is such a pleasure to read; I hope you never stop. Thank you so much!

I have read this story so many times and I keep coming back to it because it's lovely to read a story with humour and one that doesn't denigrate poor Lucius unduly.  Thank you for sharing it with us and I've no doubt I will keep on reading it.

Clairvoyant

That Arthur is a consumate politician, wanting to please all the people all the time.  He extends the olive branch to Lucius, but then criticizes Hermione for keeping company with him and Severus.  I guess he doesn't mind offending his right hand, though.

Hermione's conflicting feelings came to a head in this chapter.  What inner turmoil she must have felt as she struggled with her feelings for two men, opposed to the morals with which she was raised.  But with the wise and unlikely counsel of Luna, she reached a logical and beneficial decision.  Lucky readers.

And their Patronuses (Patroni)?  A very strange trio, indeed.
