Jumped on the Harry Potter bandwagon in 2000 (when Goblet of Fire was out in hardback). Prisoner of Azkaban is my favourite in the series, followed by Order of the Phoenix. I read and write in the SS/HG corner of the Potterverse.

Harridan Helen - how did you meet my mother? This is wonderful, my dear!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Pure coincidence! Wow. Your mother must be quite the character! Thank you again!
an amzing chapter as usual this is really a sweet story or st least this was a sweet chapter but cna lucius really be starting to have feelings for our know it all o wont that spice things up lmao wonderfully donr thank you my dear
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! Lucius is certainly jealous, and doubtless confused at the moment exactly why.
I'm not sure whether Lucius is more sad because of missing Narcissa or jealous over Severus and Hermione, or confused because he doesn't know either!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
You're quite right. Lucius doesn't know why he's jealous at the moment. We shall see!
Oh no. Not one of those awful "recipe" readings. Urgh. (I'm against sentimental tripe masquerading as literature the same way that I'm against misuse of the apostrophe. it's not a good analogy, but I have the same reaction to both.)I kind of hate to admit that I'm more excited about the Lucius/Hermione than I am the Severus/Hermione, but I am. Lucius is much more work, after all; he seems to be a lot more damaged than Severus, which is kind of weird; normally, I expect things to be other way around. Ah, well. OT3 and all that.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
I don't think Hermione or Severus appreciated the 'recipe' reading either.While this story will have more in the way of Severus/Hermione, Lucius is definitely in there. Hope you like how it turns out!
Petulant, eh? Whiny, more like....Still very much enjoying this! It's such a clever idea, original - and that's rare.More soon?
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Heh! Draco certainly was whiny. Now... maybe not.Thank you very much! Original is what I aim for.More will be posted on Thursday.
Response from Gardengirl (Reviewer)
*cheers* for Thursday ~
“I’ll talk to you later,” she said, her voice cold and clipped. “I have bigger fish to fry.”
I wonder what Harry’s thoughts were at being dismissed. If had a brain cell left he would have taken it as a gift and left the country for an extended vacation.
“When would you like the wedding to be?” hahahahah I could not help myself I snorted with laughter! That Lucius! I am glad he is belatedly attempting to make amends. Although really forgetting Hermione’s first “visit” to the manor isn’t very bright.
Why hello there Draco! I cannot wait for the next chapter!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Yes! If Harry had any sense, he'd run for the hills.Lucius wasn't especially bright to do that, no.Thanks! Next chapter will be posted towards the end of the week. Thursday, I think.
How did I miss being notified when this chapter posted? Egads that is very poor fan girl behavior. I enjoyed Hermione’s sneaky behavior, Lucius sparing a thought for his departed wife and the situation growing out of Severus control in under 10 minutes. Beautiful.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
You did find this, that's what counts!Thank you! Very glad you liked those bits.
Wow, what an action-packed chapter!!! From the duel to Hermione's release and her smacking Lucius like the dog he is (giggles) with a rolled-up newspaper... And then Lucius' faux pas of bring her in to That Room! Oh, update soonest!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks! Glad you liked it!I plan to update on Thursday, so soon. Although maybe not soon enough!
Oh great... let's see how Draco responds to his new stepmother.*sighs* I love the visual of Severus carrying Hermione. And I think it is clever that you showed that Severus does not know all the details of the Trio's misadventures in the defeat of Voldemort.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
I hope it will be interesting!Thank you! It was a very nice visual for me, too. I suspect Severus will soon know all the pertinent details.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh this is gonna be good but really what chance did ron have against malfoy all his shiuting and such he always got to wound up lol so i cant wait to see how lucius is gonna smooth this one outlol it should be good
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Yup, Ron had no chance. I'm sure Lucius has his ways and means!Thanks!
Oh dear. Poor Severus and Hermione, being saddled with Lucius. I am very curious now about Draco's role in the drama! Very nicely done. If anyone deserved being whacked with a rolled up newspaper, it was Lucius Malfoy.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Hopefully Lucius will manage to prove his worth! He certainly deserved his whacking with the paper.I hope I manage to satisfy your curiosity next chapter!
How many problems can one girl have? Recovering from a plague, losing her memories, and having both Lucius and Ron pursue her. I'd not want to be Hermione right about now, except for the fact that Severus seems to fancy her... Very good!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Hermione does have a lot on her plate! Having Severus's heart on that plate is the saving grace, hopefully!Thanks!
Okay, it's not usual that this happens, but I actually feel bad for Lucius. Sure, he's a pompous arse, but he really was trying and obviously didn't think about the fact that he was taking her to a place where she'd been savagely tortured. It was a pretty boneheaded move though. Lovely work. Can't wait for more!~~ ** Lady Tuesday ** ~~
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
I'm glad someone does! Poor Lucius. How was he meant to remember one torture among the many he witnessed?Thanks! More coming in a couple of days.

I love it so far! A "smitten" Severus. Malfoy being Malfoy. And Hermione smacking him with the Prophet! Fantastic! Not only do I love a good MLC, but add in TWO husbands? Rowr. My mind races with possibilities. Hope you explore them all. In detail.
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I'm very pleased to hear it. Hope I manage to satisfy you with my exploration of those possiblities!
I'm fascinated! Great new twist on an old premise.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! I'm very glad to hear it.
Delicious, to quote a line from Oliver Twist. "Please Sir, may I have some more?" I loved the duel, the image of full grown male lions playing about with cubs came to my mind while I read that scene. Wonderful writing.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you very much! That's a fine analogy of the duel.More coming on Thursday.
What a mess. I really hope that the ferret won't be too big of a problem.But a great chapter, please update again soon.gab
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
What makes you think that Draco will be a problem? ;)Thanks! More coming on Thursday.

Ron's living up to his hair colour, isn't he? *g* Interesting, that Snape and Hermione had become friends. And her be willing to become friends again, too.
Author's Response: It's what Ron specialises in! Glad you find it interesting.

Well written, and the supsense is building up nicely. But what a nasty plage you have invented there! *shudder*
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad to hear it. It is one nasty plague, yes.
Just as Severus is smitten with Hermione, I am totally smitten with this story! It is wonderful, absolutely wonderful!!! I loved the duel, and Hermoine smacking Lucius with the Newspaper was brilliant:-). I am also soooo pleased that you had Hermione still trusting Severus, I adore him too, so I don't want to see him hurt. So, Draco is back. How will that affect the story I wonder? Update again soon, I can't wait to read more!!!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you very much! I am absolutely delighted to hear it.I can't promise that Severus won't be hurt in the course of this story, but it shouldn't be permanent if it happens!I'll be updating tomorrow, hope you like chapter 4 as much as this!
I' glad she trusts Severus enough. As for Lucius... So far I like this very much.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks! I'm glad to hear that.
How are they going to explain this , great story so far!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
That will be revealed in chapter 4... maybe even with the truth. Thank you!
Ron has bitten off more than he can chew this time!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
He's good at doing that, isn't he?Thanks for your review.
oh dear poor Hermione is in for a shock isn't she?
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Just a bit, yes! Thanks for reviewing.
Oh lucky girl - two sexy Slytherins - yippie for her - cannot wait for the next chapter.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Hermione would probably not agree with you, at least not yet! Thank you, next chapter coming soon.
