Chapter 8: Year One At Rock Bottom

So very interested to see how this concludes!

Finally, Luna to the rescue!!

So glad Andromeda is on their side.  And poor Harry, stuck in the middle, even if he doesn't yet know to what extent.

Yes, some planning, keep talking ...

Hermione is going to have to step up her game.  She's fought off dark wizards, but is not yet used to extreme manipulation.  At least not in this lifetime.  But, she'll make it work.

Poor overwhelmed and confused Hermione.  If only she felt she could let herself believe in Lucius.  Soon.

I can't even stop reading long enough to review!

How unnerving for someone so intelligent to think she is losing her mind!  Glad she is starting to pay attention to Ginny.

Your Ginny is absolutely creepy.  If we didn't know her true identity, I'd just think she was bitchy, but knowing the truth, she is chilling.

Oh my goodness, when will Hermione remember?  I'm sure Lucius is thinking the same thing! :)

Rarely is there a story where I care for Lucius.  Must be Merlin's influence this time.  Hermione and Sirius ... Interesting.

I love how the backstory changes the meaning and events in canon, like the department of mysteries, without really changing anything.

So frustrating to watch everything fall apart. Poor Hermione. Hopefully they will see the truth when the time comes

This story was amazing! It was so unique and I loved it!  Amazing job!

Excellent story.  

What a great story! LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another interesting chapter.   I look forward to the next update. 

love your story, glad you update so often

It looks like many people, including Harry, are finally being clued in to Nimue/Ginny's machinations. But is it too late to stop her?By the way, I wonder what the Weasley family's reactions will be when they finally figure out what--and who--their darling little princess really is.

I just finished reading all 17 chapters. I usually only read SSHG, so it took me awhile to start this story. I'm so glad I did! This is a very creative concept, and I love how easily you wove this storyline into the original Harry Potter books.I am completely hooked, and was disheartened when there were no more chapters to keep reading.  I can't wait for the next update, and to see what Hermione and Lucius have planned! :)

Oh, Hermione, you are getting some really good advice, you just need to listen to it. I love Lucius' reaction to her admission about Sirius. I think at this point Sirius should be glad that he's dead.

Oh, evil!Ginny is so sharp and sneaky. And poor Hermione, afraid about her mind, huh. So hope that she will not come to her memories way too late.

Oh, Hermione, you aren't losing your mind, you are finally getting in your right mind... though in this case just a hair too late. I shudder to think about what's going to happen to the cup. I can't wait for the next update.

If Ginny wants to keep Harry close, she needs to rethink her plan of challenging him like that. I like this view of the aftermath of the final battle. Here's to hoping poor Lucius' stay in Azkaban is brief this time. I think if anyone knew what Voldemort put him and his family through they would realize that he had absolutely no choice from the moment he took the Mark.

More, more. This continues to be an excellent tale weaving two mythologies together so well. We're almost at endgame where she realizes who she is and I can't wait. I love the scene with poor Lucius utterly unhinged and Severus basically calling him mental. If only Severus really knew how much strain this was on poor Lucius.
