Oh thanks!  We know so little about him and see so few stories with him in there.  I thought it would be a good chance to add a different character in the story, just to give the reader someone else to think about.I do want to have a scene with Draco and Lucius discussing his interest in Ginny.  I'd like to do that in the next few chapters.

I can't really say when I'll have more lemons for Severus and Hermione.  It depends on how the chapters work themselves out.  I don't usually set out to write lemons but add them if I see it might work in the story or will add to it.I do though plan on another scene with Severus and Hermione and one with Lucius and Ginny, I just can't say right now when.

Thank you.  I'm glad you find it interesting.

I thought I'd go a different route with Ron this time, while still making him the butt of a few jokes.Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Oh, I've always been attracted to older men.  It's true what you say, young guys can be boring and predictable AND immature.I prefer the Slytherin/Gryffindor matches too.  I started Lucius/Ginny to my stories because I thought it would just be nice to have a different couple around as well as two other people that Severus and Hermione could do things with.Jane Eyre is one of my favorites, as of course is Sense & Sensibility.  Oh that I could have my own Col. Brandon.Thanks for keeping up with this.  I'm hoping I can get another chapter or two done this long weekend.

It sucks to be seeing someone like that.  I know that in Latin cultures, some men are totally whipped by their mothers and sisters.  LOL, I say that because I am Latin and I've seen it a lot!I'm just giving plenty of warning, I think that's fair for those who just don't want to read something like that.  I don't mind doing it, because I was once asked to read something by an author after bowing out of a story.  She emailed me and I politely told her why I didn't want to continue reading and let her know I'd wait for her next story.  She asked me to continue reading and it turned out that I wound up reading what I didn't want to read.  I felt sabotaged.I don't want to do that to people, its not fair to them.

am not a fan of severus having a detail srex scene with others. but like i told you i would read this story. i cant wait to see what you do with my idea. DOWN WITH THE DOUBLE STANDER.

i read in the last review before mine that you did this chapter work. that was very brave of you i would never try to do something like that at work.

LOL, I write many of my chapters at work.  I work at a very small office, just me and my boss.  And My desk is against the back wall of my office, so I face the door.  No one that comes into my office can see my computer screen unless they walk around, which of course gives me time to change screens.Besides, my boass is in and out some days.

I didn't include that as a category because I don't plan on having it include any large amound of slash.There will really only be one scene very slash scene in the future and then one small mini-slash at the end, so I thought I'd just be better off putting the warning within the chapter and before you actually begin it.I'm very happy that you are enjoying this.  I'm enjoying writing it very much.  I've been wanting to write something for a while exploring the friendship between them.I hope you continue to enjoy this.  But rest assured, I will give warning before anything disturbing and will not be offended if anybody chooses to skip that particular part.  I understand that some things just aren't to everyone's liking and that's cool.

Yes, oddness makes for some interesting happenings.Thank you for your review.

Hey, I never saw this review. LOL, I just got it.

I'm glad you liked that quote. I thought it was kind of profound.

Yeah, past memories are cool and so very important.  I wanted to get that memory so that people could begin to see how their relationship began and what kind of a relationship they have.Thanks for reading.  I'll have more soon.

Oh yes, Lucius will certainly hook up with her, but they both have a long way to go.  I think they need to heal and can probably help one another in that aspect.And as for the Lestranges, well you're on the right track.  There will be a few more surprises within the ranks of the DE's.Thanks for your review and for taking the time to leave one.

Thank you.  I thought the same thing. I figured they that Bella and Roldolphus are two people who are noticing that they have dug themselves into a hole and all they can do is survive as best they can.I don't know much about Rodolphus, but I'd like to think of him, at least here, as a man who is smart enough to keep his mouth shut and his eyes open.  I have to say, I gave June a hell of a time when she first took me on.  I've imporved a lot, thanks to her.  I think its just a matter of you finding someone willing to work with you.  You'll see that little by little you yourself will begin to realize what is correct and isn't.Thanks as always for your wonderfully well thought out review.  It's always such a pleasure for me to read them.I'm hoping to have  more soon.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the chapter.

I didn't have the key in Draco's possession because during the time of his attack she had just left them, and was working on getting Voldy to think he was a waste of time.  After the attack where he almost died Lucius sent him away so she never had a chance to see him again.She knew that he was safe because Lucius had aldready been working on getting Voldy to leave Draco alone, so I figured he really didn't need the key if the focus was being drawn away from him.I wanted to make Bella a little different here.  While I believe her to still be loyal to the cause, she is certainly beginning to question the actions being taken to forward it.  I just get tired sometimes reading characters in such a stereotypical way.  I've written her here as a woman who begins to see things happening all around her and she's smart enough to know that their leader is much to be desired.  I'm glad you liked the interaction with Bella and Rodolphus.  I wasn't sure if that might be believable since we know so little of their relationship, and people do see her as some crazy bitch.Thank you so much for your well thought out review.  I always enjoy reading them and I appreciate that you have always read what I have written.

Once again your writers mind was way above me.Which of course means I keep coming back again to read what you write.You are also right, I still get readers annoyed at my wonderful Lucius, I just think, if Severus could make a mistake, so could Lucius...who had so much more to regret, due to his family.Best wishes, Eileen/

You know, I just think some people can't grasp the meaning of fanfiction.  If we wrote every character the exact same way JKR did, then what would be the fun of writing and reading fanfiction?

I'm glad you're enjoying this so far.  I just had to give Lucius more attention.  I'll have more soon.Thanks for taking the time to read and review this.

I'm glad you liked  the chapter.Yes, it was a bit shorter than the previous ones, but I'm probably going to be indoors all weekend because of the predicted rain, so I'll get writing and hopefully have something nice and long to post next week.Thanks for taking the time to read this and leave me a review.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked this one.  I did change a small bit and added some suggestions that June made. I wanted for the readers to feel some symphathy for Bella here.  I do feel that deep down inside she does care for her sister.I'm thining I'll start the next chapter this weekend.  I get the feeling we'll be getting a lot of rain.Hey, aren't you supposed to be writing?

I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter.  Thanks for reviewing!

You lucky girl!  A new bathroom AND kitchen!  I know you'll have fun decorating, that's the best part.I'm glad you are enjoying this so far.  I wanted to make this fic different than the other's I've done so far.  Adding more Lucius was part of it.  I'll start writing the next chapter in a day or so and hopefully will have it ready to post over the weekend.Enjoy your new rooms!

Thank you for saying that.  I wanted my Narcissa someone the reader could be proud of.

I thought it was dark brown.  I'll have to look that up and see, thanks for pointint it out.I believe Narcissa is like any other mother, willing to do anything to protect her child.  We saw that in HBP.  I didn't want to write her as a cold hearted person.  Thanks for reading.

Thanks!  I'll start writing the new chapter soon.  Hopefully it will be up within a week.Thanks for reviewing.

I wanted her be just like that in the end.  I never even considered having her whimpering and crying.  She accepted her fate.Thank you for taking the time to read this. 

Thank you, what a wonderful compliment.I've always thought there had to be more to Lucius and after HBP I felt the same about Narcissa.  I wanted to portray Narcissa as more than just a selfish woman who only cared about when her next hair appointment was.  Thank you once again. 

Oh thanks!  I was trying to get people to think she was knowing that this chapter would reveal the truth.  I think Narcissa gets a bad rap.  I'm glad you liked this one.  I've got the next chapter over to June.  if I get it back tonight I'll post it.
