Very nice beginning. It will be fun to see where you go from here.

Great start!

I really enjoyed how you protrayed Lucius Malfoy!

Will be checking for updates!

Interesting, very interesting. The story was very well written, and I think I will love the plot. I would like for Hermione to grow a bit more backbone though, standing up for her self in regards to Molly and Ginny. No young girl should have to wear a dress so not suiting them to satisfy others. I can hardly imagine Ginny (or Molly telling Ginny) to wear a dress that looks horrible on her, to match Harry. Is Ginny feeling a bit jelous maybe, scared that Hermione migth steal some of her lampligth? Hermione should not let them form her into a "Molly-copy" and to a creature with no mind of her own. She has her own mother, she doesn't need Molly to try to take over the role!!!

Please let her run back to Madam Malkin to get the dress that suited her, and several others clashing with red:-)) 

Due to the challange you answear though I have high hopes that Hermione soon will ditch the red prats. In my mind, the sooner the better... I absolutely hate the Ron/Hermione pairing, the sooner you end that relationship, the better:-)) I look forward to read more so update again soon!

Intersting beginning. I can imagine Hermione's panick at having to adjust to her new family's domineering manner - not letting her choose her own dress or when to get married.

Interesting. 

This is a very intriguing begining.  I really look forward to reading more.

Great start. Looking forward to more.

I loved this chapter - I always enjoy a good Hermione and Lucius fic. Hope you write more because this was great.

I like it! But I am hoping for Severus to pop up. I like the idea of Lucius being the matchmaker. Nice comment on the "Ophelia after sh'e been dead in the water for a few days"- that was good! Keep up the great writing!

EXCELLENT!!!!!I look forward to reading future chapters.....

Yay! That was a very lovely and charming chapter, and I liked the location somewhere in the alpes a lot. Naturally :-)I really need to know quickly where this is going, dear, so hurry up writing and post the next chapter soon!

 GAAAAAAAAAAAH!! Who sent the roses!?? plz finish plz plz!!??

Well, let's see. It screams Draco to me, though I don't know what his motive would be... And heaven knows I've been wrong before!! Good stuff!

Ooh - I am so glad you updated!  Well worth the wait!  I loved the dinner.  I wonder who set it up?  My guess is Snape - I know he's dead - but is he?  Hmmm.  Of course, I'm guessing Snape because I love Snape.  THe real question is not who but why?  Hmmm.... Well, I hope you don't leave us on edge and update soon!

Hey, it's kitty!Severus!  Well, at least, he sounds like Severus with his scowl and his fur and his gangly self.Hmm.  Who's trying to fix up Lucy and Herms, hmm?

~prods~ Still waiting for more. :)

So very intriguing!!  My guess is the black cat with the white rose in the library!  (I suppose it beats Professor Plum with the candlestick in the conservatory!)  Can't wait for more!

Oooooh, fascinating. And that cat....

Curiouser and curiouser.

Can't wait to see what happens next!

I assumed that the letter to Hermione was from Lucius but I guess not...hmmmm.  Very interesting.  I am looking forward to an update to see what happens.  Good chap!

That's weird. That cat sounds like a feline Severus Snape. Does he have an animagus form in your story and is he dead or alive? If it is Snape, Hermione just masturbated in front of him.

It's even more intriguing to see that someone is setting them up!

Interesting premise and absolutely lovely details.

This is getting very interesting! I cant wait to find out who sent the roses, and does the little black cat have any significance?

Thank you so much for the update!!! At first I only intended to take a small look at the ending of the new chapter to see if there were any progress in Hermione getting a backbone and dumping Ron. While I absolutely think you an awesome writer, the doormat-Hermione presented in the first chapter was not to appealing, and when you add the fact that I just hate the idea of the Ron/ Hermione pairing, only the promise of this being a Hermione/Lucius paring made me "sniff" around for progress:-) But, the little peak at the ending made me read and enjoy the whole chapter, she should have hexed Ron for reading her diary, and sent a howler to Molly for suggesting it, but she got rid of them and that is the most important issue:-) So, on to the mystery: Who is the one who have sent them the roses/portkeys, and what is the intention? Is someone putting up a trap? Matchmaking? Something else?Do update again soon, this story is getting more and more interesting!!PS. A big congratulation to Hermione for her new cat and beautiful dress:-))

Okay, there's something going on around here! Please hurry with the next chapter!!!
