The only this I dislike about this story is that it is a one shot! Oh for an epic novel length seduction of Hermione by the ever naughty Lucius! I'll take what I can get and be happy, this was ever so delicious!PS: I am here by way of the rec on LJ's fangirl_tour

Is this a one-shot?  I can't help but have a sense of foreboding -- this *is* Lucius Malfoy we're talking about here!  I may have a weakness for HG/LM fics, but that doesn't mean that I don't recognize the inherent problems in trying to turn Lucius Malfoy into a plausible romantic hero -- one of the biggest being that the man is a master at the art of manipulation.  After all, he was able to deceive the Ministry for years into believing that he was trustworthy as well as (at least in this story) deceiving Voldemort that he was truly committed to his cause.  As I read this story, I found myself having difficulty trusting your Lucius and was unaccountably reminded of some of the exchanges between Thomas Harris's characters of Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lechter...especially considering that in the novel version of "Hannibal" (sequel to "Silence of the Lambs"), Clarice ends up romantically involved with Dr. Lechter, as implausible as that sounds.

Wonderful story.  Thanks so much for sharing.

ouuuuu a fluffy sincere Lucius, you dont read that every day do you? I enjoyed the one shot. Thanks!

I like the way you showed Hermione slowly changing her opinion of Lucius and seeing his viewpoint.  I can see Hermione going into law as a profession.  I like the fact that Hermione wanted to stay with Lucius and didn't care what others might think.  Thanks for a good read.

Nice steamy bit. :) Intriguing the way you brought the emotions full circle. Nicely done.

I can certainly see Hermione finding a job in law after her Hogwars graduation and the final battle with Voldemort.  Her end of the story is certainly plausible.  Lucius Malfoy, of course, would never admit to sex with a Mudblood -- but for your story's purposes, his characterization had to make him sympathetic and not obsessed with blood purity.  A pleasant story and an enjoyable read.

AH!I love Hermione/Lucius So much!!While I was gone at an Arts Institute, without computer access, I found myself craving a story like this! And here it is, perfectly the way I wished it to be!This was wonderfully written!~

I quite enjoyed reading your story. It was interesting to see how Hermione's opinion of Lucius changed and I liked it very much that you left us to guess whether he is sincere or not.
