Thank you! I forget about this one sometimes. I reread it the other day and ... yeah ... I think I agree with you! (Is that allowed for one of your own stories!!??)

Thank you so much. x

Me too! Thank you for your continuing support! x

Thank you! Your review slipped in without me noticing too! x

Everyone thinks it's creepy!! Yeah, it is I guess. Not creepy enough not to be erotic though, I hope. These are the Malfoys - they were, once at least, evil personified. They're allowed to be a bit creepy now and again. Still bloody hot, though!!Thanks as ever for your support and lovely, lovely words! xxI always wanted to use that emoticon. It doesn't really go with the story or review, but what the heck!! xxx

No, not creepy enough not to be erotic, definitely! And the Malfoys have to be a bit twisted, if they weren't they'd not be the Malfoys!It's always a pleasure to review your stories, because there is always something nice that is worth saying. With other stories I often find myself at loss what to say, either because they are badly written and I don't want to bother, but sometimes even if they are nice... Don't you agree that there are many nicely written stories that just lack imagination?

Oh yes.

Thank you so much! If you stick with my stories, I can make you find Lucius much MUCH more than you imagined!!! There's plenty more where that came from, believe me!  LL x

Oops - I know - I wondered if I shouldn't have posted the Draco one without this one on ff. I had never intended this one at all, it was suggested to me by a couple of people and, it just - happened. You're right, I think it does help us understand Lucius' motives with regard to Draco. I think to go straight from Luceat Eis to that one is perhaps a bit much. Hope you enjoy both more now!! Thanks for your thoughtful words. xxx  LL

Just realised I didn't address any of your queries! Duh! I may well write some more at some point, although I confess that I had never intended her to end up with them. Their relationship evolved so much through the writing of this that it got to a place which was rather unexpected for me too. Oh well. Maybe one day - you are not the only one to ask! x

(wait for author to fall asleep.... whisper in her ear:  Luuucius....., Luuuuuucius.,.,..,,. Hermiione needs Luuuuucius.,,..)

*sigh* We all need Lucius ... if only ...I have many many, lovely Lumione tales to share ... as you may have discovered from your forays to ff.net. In good time, I will bring them over here. Lucius will always be my wonderful darling favourite character to write for, for so many reasons ...  LL xxx

Yup - depraved - we like a bit of depravity occasionally! And I know you like your Lucius dark ... mwa ha ha ... happy to oblige! xxx

Yeah, it's a bit creepy - sometimes that can be quite erotic too!! I guess that's how I wanted it. Lucius has this odd dichotomous relationship with his father which is exemplified here. Anyway - a story, like a painting, doesn't have to have a clear message or meaning, as long as it makes you think or react. Hope I did that!  LL x

I had never expected this series to be as long as it was, but I know that there is the possibility of more, some sore of resolution does indeed beckon. I have no plans for it at the moment, but the seeds have been sown, shall we say ...  x

What can I say!? Thank you so much for your very kind words. I have to say, when I wrote the first one, with Abraxas, I had no intention to develop it any further. But, come on, Hermione! You were hardly going to meet Lucius and think ... oh well, can't be bothered really! Duh!!! And then, there was Draco .. but before Draco, the portrait thing was ... suggested to me ... so Hermione just became the luckiest girl in the universe!! But - I didn't want to keep the option of her going back to Abraxas open. I did want that to be it as far as he was concerned. It would have changed the dynamics of that story otherwise. But now, I must admit ... it would be rather fun, would it not ...? A little trip back, perhaps with someone in tow ... oh dear, now my mind is doing very interesting things ...And I have to thank you twice, as you reviewed twice, however inadvertently!!! Feel free to delete one of them - not sure if you can, or if I can ... I'll see.I have lots of plot bunnies, by the way. Many of them have already been committed to cyber-paper, but you may have to wait for them to appear on this site! LL xxx

I know I've already responded to the other one, but I'll respond to this too as it keeps coming up on unanswered reviews. By the way - plot bunnies are hopping about madly!! x

We shall see ... depends what you mean by 'at once' - that may be a step too far even for Hermione (at least at the moment!!) x
