Some elves get hooked on watching reruns of the great detectives, an investigation into the dodgy breeding of pedigree Crups leads Hermione and Severus into Lucius Malfoy's bed via the bath, Severus goes back to Hogwarts to retrieve his wand, Delilah Derwent, bastion of pure-blood aristocracy, arrives with her Knickers under one arm to play hanky-panky with Malfoy's Magic Wand, a Crup goes bad and some left-over Death Eaters get their comeuppance. Oh, and of course, Severus gets his just desserts.

Reviews for The Number Twelve House-Elf Detective Agency
Oh, that was just wonderful! The humour in here is brilliant, but the scary bits are still scary, and the smutty bits were delightful. Really, really enjoyed this!

Things have taken a decided turn for the worst, which is a shame, because it all started so well! That's an awful lot of elves on the hunt, too!

Keep an eye on them elves, you never know what they'll get up to!

I want that bathroom! For the sake of romance, I'm glad the parakeets are gone!

Don't we all? As long as it includes a couple of en-suite Slytherins...

That was an impressive display of magic! Are we sure that kitty is Snape?
Response from gingertart (Author of The Number Twelve House-Elf Detective Agency)
Snape, an unregistered animagus? Surely not?

The Crup breeding scandal is getting a bit Midsomer Murders... is there a Barnaby elf?
I can't believe I've not read this before - it's brilliant!

My goodness, this is such fun! I'm loving all the house elves, loving that Lucius would call in a life debt over some Crups and wondering about that magazine reading kitty!
Response from gingertart (Author of The Number Twelve House-Elf Detective Agency)
But - but breeding Crups is now his life! He can't meddle in politics, he no longer has Narcissa, so he has to do something - poor Lucius!

I loved this chapter. The verbal menage-a-trois between Snape, Lucius and Hermione was quite engaging.

What a wonderful image of Snape working with the wards of Hogwarts! Great visual, great premise altogether, great story. Thinking of the house-elves as detective characters made me laugh out loud!
Response from gingertart (Author of The Number Twelve House-Elf Detective Agency)
Thank you for your comment, I'm very glad that I made you laugh!

This is lovely -- saucy, witty and a very insightful take on the Severus/Lucius relationship. I'm usually somewhat ambivalent about SS/HG/LM but there's no way I could fault Hermione for embarking on this particular adventure :)
Response from gingertart (Author of The Number Twelve House-Elf Detective Agency)
I'm delighted that I tempted you to read SS/HG/LM despite your misgivings. Thanks for commenting!

Evil cliffie! EVIL!|(I love Lucius in this! I love his understanding of Snape and his unspoken accord with Hermione.)
Response from gingertart (Author of The Number Twelve House-Elf Detective Agency)
Evil cliffies FTW! I'm sure that both Lucius and Hermione are aware that Snape is actually the fragile one in the relationship. Glad you liked it!

Oh this was quite delicious. I had not expected this scene at all. I'm glad that Hermione and Lucius are putting Seveus first and at ease. Lucius stating that she would always pick Severus over him was perfect as well as when she said that Severus was the wizard she would prefer to do eveything and anything with.
Response from gingertart (Author of The Number Twelve House-Elf Detective Agency)
I'm glad you enjoyed it - Lucius is very sexy but after all, we know that Severus is Hermione's soul-mate. And I'm sure that both Lucius and Hermione know that Severus is the more fragile one, really. Thank you for commenting!

Mega-like! Thanks to the teachers of Hogwarts for meeting Hermione's expectations of nobility and fair-play. Huzzah!More, please?

Hermione's got more pull with Snape than she realizes! P.S. This is one chapter I would have loved to have actually have witnessed happening!

Thanks for brightening my day! After a good hour spent in an attempt to dissect arguments by the likes of Peter Singer while juggling laundry and drooping eyelids, this was just what I needed: snappy dialogue, a bit of mystery and the promise of romance wrapped in beautifully executed prose. Can't wait to read more!Now back to that laundry... (Peter can wait!)hm88
