Chapter 3 of 3
blackaces924"Romance novels are nowhere near as stimulating as Most Potente Potions, of course.”
ReviewedDisclaimer: HP and characters belong to JK Rowling. Not mine.
Written for the Regency challenge in grangersnape100.
It is a universal truth that a reclusive Duke in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife, even if he has dubious connections.
And no amount of glaring or sneering could get him out of this predicament – he had been forced to hold this blasted ball by his Aunt Minerva, the Duchess of York, because he’d lost, of all things, a bet.
But if he has to marry, he will do it on his own terms!
He would just have to convince Grimmauld Place’s resident know-it-all to attend the ball.
To hell with Potions texts.

I remember reading the first couple of these, and then real life got in the way. I'm looking forward to catching up with them now. I love Regency romances!
Okay, intriging... I though the dark figure was Severus at first.
Hey, I like reading about Prince William. But I agree, a good book beats any gossip rag.

I wonder what was the subject of the best our dear Duke lost.
Aunt Minerva! I love it. I wonder what the bet was the our Duke lost.

This installment sounds like you have some tricks up your sleeve young lady! Bring it on! I have guesses as to who the Duke is...
Just because Hermione and I are older than Prince William does not mean we cannot admire his ahem assets. This was posted in 2007! Tell me there is lots more to come? I'll do just about anything for a regency theme. Yes I will!!!
Guess who? ;)
He would. :)
good st art :)
Wheeeeee! love it love it love!!!!! More please?
