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.

Damn, we have to wait. Hope not for to long. Lucifer Manly...bwahahahahahaha
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Indeed you do. Uni deadlines... but I am writing a little more of this story each day. Thanks!
Hahaha... I love the thought of Lucius picking glass out of his hair, and having strands come out with it.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks! Poor Lucius. Hee!
Lucifer Manly? Oh that's hilarious. Helluva start for a future son-in-law.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! It is quite a jarring start for the poor man.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant:-)) Severus and Lucius still have all their body parts after being introduced as the Grangers future sons in law, they should be happy:-)) I just love the building relationship between Hermione and Severus, very well written and in a perfect tempo!I hope you will let small hints of who the others will marry too, not that it is all that important, I am must curious:-))Write fast and update again soon!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! Severus and Lucius should be very happy about that.I will be revealing some details of other couples (or is that triples?) later on.Uni deadlines are slowing me down quite a lot at the moment, but I am writing a little more every day.

Glad to read your author's note at the bottom! Whew! You better write some more! I won't hold you to doing it quickly, but I will say that I absolutely cannot wait. Oh, and "Lucifer Manly"? HA! That was great. I might call him that from now on. Good job!
Author's Response: Thanks! I will write more. Chapter 6 is in progress, although writing an essay at the same time makes that slow progress.
Glad you liked Lucius's new name!
welll glass flying at malfoy isnt so bad and hermione finding serveus isnt that amazing she is a talented witch after allim sorry to hera it will be a wait untill th enext chapter is posted tho i hope you do keep up with the storymany thanks
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks!I will do my best to complete this story, just the demands of uni work at the moment slow me down quite a bit.
I just love this story! The balance between Snape and Malfoy is played out perfectly. I can't wait to see Hermione go into intellectual control mode once she gets her bearings. How will Snape and Malfoy each handle that when emotional control is within their grasp? Or is it? When Malfoy starts showing a little depth, how will Snape react? Or Hermione for that matter? So many opportunities you've presented.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! I'm delighted to hear it. Hopefully I'll be able to fulfill the promise of those opportunities.
Lucifer Manly with shards of glass in his hair! *roaring with laughter*
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks! Glad you found it funny.
Being a part of Severus and Lucius’ post dinner party discussion was loads of fun, having Lucius startle into battle mode over a phone ringing, that is priceless.
I gather the glass went flying when the topic of marriage was opened? Oh my.
I hope the muse cooperates with the up coming chapters.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks! I hoped it would be.Helen the Harridan was not best pleased. And she had a glass to hand.I hope it does too. The main problem at the moment is uni deadlines.
Lucifer Manly--I love it! I'm enjoying your Lucius enormously. Very funny chapter.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks! I'm very glad to hear it, it's the first time I've written him as a main character.
Mr Malfoy meets the Muggles....sounds like a bad sitcom!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
I suppose it does. I hope that's where the resemblance ends! Thanks for reviewing.
Response from sunny33 (Reviewer)
This is definitely way superior to any sitcom!!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks, I'm glad to hear it!
Ahh what a perfectly twisted chapter. Just what is Draco upto? Will he perhaps share a wife with Harry. Well done Irish
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! If Draco does marry Ginny, he'd definitely be sharing a wife with Harry. It depends whether he was just winding Lucius up when talking about fresh blood...
A good chapter as usual... the 'Meet the Parents' should be interesting! :-p
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! I hope it will be.
I was so pleased to see another chapter! Well done and an interesting twist. It's looking like the happy trio won't be living in Malfoy Manor. eh? Personally, I think I'd ask for an unbreakable vow, and then sit down with paper and pen and figure out what best to demand. :-)
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! They certainly can't live in Malfoy Manor as it is, unless the prevailing atmosphere is cleaned up or Severus holds Hermione's hand all the time...Heh! That would probably be what I'd do in Hermione's shoes as well.
Interesting chapter - what is it with Malfoy's house - besides the dark magic that has been cast - how can she feel it and why did she feel pain while holding Malfoy's hand and not Severus - I cannot wait to read the next chapter.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks! I hope to answer those questions later on in the story. Next chapter coming soon.
Funny, Hermione agreed to the marriages, but she is ruling the roost!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks for reviewing! Lucius is getting rather more than he bargained for.
Excellent way to take command of the situation, Hermione.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks! Good for Hermione.
Another excellent chapter. And Hermione is BACK! (if slightly weakened) Seems like Lucius is going to have to do a serious exorcism on his house if, by chance, they're all going to live there (and a major redecoration on at least one of the rooms). Looking forward to more... I really like your take on Severus in this one.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! Yes, if Malfoy Manor is to be their home - or even just visited - Lucius is going to have to do a lot of work.More coming very soon.I'm glad to hear that! Hopefully in character, but suitably caring.
Good to see that Hermione is keeping the upper hand so far, not intimidated, arranging things on her terms only. Will she and Snape be teaming up against Lucius? I hope you're planning a soft spot in Lucius, too, like growing a bit fonder of her than he had expected. Original take on the MLC, really like it.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Hermione does have a habit of either landing on her feet or finding them fast.I imagine Hermione and Severus will team up against Lucius if need be. As for Lucius, while he might not want to grow fond of her... he might not be able to stop it.Thank you! I hope you like the rest of the story too.
Response from HannahSmith (Reviewer)
"As for Lucius, while he might not want to grow fond of her... he might not be able to stop it." - exactly my point, of course (;-)))
There are just so many things that make me happy in this chapter. 1. Draco standing up to his Daddy. 2. Draco respecting Hermione. 3. New creative reason for hand holding. 4. No immediate attraction to LMOkay I'll stop with the itemization. You just keep on writing my one earring wonder.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
I'm delighted to hear it!1-2. This story seemed to call for a decent version of Draco. Glad you like him.3. It does give Severus an excuse to be more touchy-feely, something that he might unconsciously be secretly glad for.4. Heh! It'd be rather OOC for Hermione to fancy Lucius right away.Thanks! I'll do my best to keep this plot bunny under control.

I was most intrigued by Draco this chapter (while also wondering if Lucius intends to so easily give in to Hermione's demands and not demand much in return beyond the consummation). Draco's reaction had me thinking different things about him, for example: Two husband PLUS a boy toy lover? HAHAHA! Ok, I like my smut. But seriously, how will he act when she's really his step-mother?Will he marry Ginny? How will that go? And a bunch of other things. I don't usually care for Draco, but I'm interested in him too.
Oh, and nice way to build the tension between Sev and Hermione. Not really kissing, etc. Just the hand-holding.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad to hear it. I don't much care for Draco either, but this one hopefully seems decent.
Heh! This is Lucius. He's bound to have something up his sleeve.
Hee! This fic will eventually end up with a threesome, but not a foursome. Draco will have to form his own threesome, and not with Hermione or her spouses. Maybe Ginny, I still haven't decided yet.
I hoped that would be the case, and that I can keep that tension there.
Hehehe... reading about Lucius meeting the Muggle parents is going to be good. I really enjoyed your idea on the physical expression of dark magic inside Malfoy Manor. I particularly liked that Severus was the only one who could help her. I look forward to finding out your reasonings behind that.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks! I hope you'll enjoy it.Those reasonings should be explored later on.
HEEHEE-- oh evil cliffie! Meeting the parents indeed. Wouldn't it have been more fun to get Draco into the mix or is that for Ginny and Harry heehee, what fun. . . update soon!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks! Draco will be in the mix occasionally, but, um, not in the bedroom, no. I haven't decided who his spouse(s?) will be yet, but maybe Ginny and Harry. Depends whether he was serious about fresh blood or just winding daddy dear up!I plan to update after the weekend. Hope you enjoy it!
lol meet the parents that is goodwell it looks like hermione will benifit srom this little arrangement good for her
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks!I thought it would be very like Hermione to benefit as much as she can from this.
I can't wait to read about the diner party when Hermione will introduce her two fiancés to her parents. I'm also very intrigued by the fact that she needs Severus' touch. Will it be permanent or just inside of the Manor?
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks, I hope you'll enjoy that introduction!Just inside the Manor. It would be a little inconvenient if it was outside too!
