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.

Now, that's a meeting I'm looking forward to. Great chapter, I can't believe how much I actually liked Draco. And I liked the "chemistry" between Severus and Hermione, more of that please!!!gab
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks, I hope you'll enjoy the next chapter.Glad you liked decent!Draco, and the chemistry between Severus and Hermione. I hope I can keep it that way!
Oh yes, I like this:-)) I liked your Draco very much, I hope you will have a perfect girl in mind for him and someone honourable to share her with. Hermione has, as good as, said yes to the marriage between her, Severus and Lucius, I love that. I can't wait for the "boys to meet the parents":-)Update again soon!!!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks!I haven't made up my mind yet about who Draco will marry, but it certainly won't be Umbridge.'The boys' certainly have an interesting meeting ahead of them...I'm planning to post chapter 5 on Monday. I could post sooner, but then there would be a longer wait for chapter 6 as it's not written yet.
Interesting that she need Severus' touch. I wonder if it is an effect of the disease or some other connection between the two of them?
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks! Glad you find it interesting. Oooh, that would be telling!
Hmmm, interesting little physical contact issue. Especially if it keeps on being that way.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks! If Hermione is to visit or live at Malfoy Manor, the physical contact issue will have to be rectified. Holding Severus's hand all the time might be romantic, but hardly practical!
Definite cultural rupture going on there. Looking forward to more of this story. Oh, look, there's another chapter...
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks! You chose the right day to read this chapter.
So far, I really like this story. I can't wait to find out what happens next! Keep up the good work.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks! I'm glad to hear it. More coming tomorrow.
That would be my dream to have Severus and Lucius booth wanting me!I can't wait to see what happens next.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Might be a bit overwhelming! Thanks! Chapter 3 is already up, Chapter 4 will be posted later on this week.
I can't help but think that Severus would never have agreed to Lucius's marriage scheme if he'd known of Hermione's terrible experiences in Malfoy Manor. loving this and looking forward to more! Thank you.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Yes, good point. If Severus had known, he would at least have had more reservations about Lucius's scheme!Thank you! More coming soon.
OH what a chapter - I do feel sorry for Ron even though he did not have a chance with Hermione. I am shocked that she just beat Malfoy with the paper - Her temper with Malfoy's is legendary - I am suprised that she did not knock him on his arse - LOL - cannot wait to see what happens next.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! Poor Ron. He really had no chance.I suspect Hermione's healthy fear of how a former Death Eater would react restrained her somewhat!Not too long a wait for chapter 4. Coming on Thursday.
I simply a-d-o-r-e the world you've created and brought to live with your writing! The characters are all acting "in character," very believably! I'm getting adicted to your writing: I check twice a day in the hopes that you've updated, and re-read the chapters multiple times! Can't wait to know what happened in the six months she was conscious, nor what new twists await us!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you very much! I'm delighted to hear it.At the moment I'm updating twice per week, but I've only got 5 chapters written, so there will be less regularly updates after that, unfortunately. But I fully intend to complete this tale!
Loved the duel. Can't wait for the discussion to come.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks! I'm glad to hear it. The discussion will continue in the next chapter.
Clifie! Evil cliffie at that! I was really enjoying that chapter and it ended. *sobs, wails bangs head on desk Ok I feel better, I'm begging for a quick update......
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
I suppose it was a bit of a cliffie...Glad you enjoyed the chapter, even if it had to end! Hope you enjoy the next chapter just as much.Thursday quick enough for you?
Response from sinbad (Reviewer)
Does a happy dance!
Somehow I had forgotten to mark this as a favorite and didn't get notified of the update. I'm glad to see that you did. I cannot wait for more. This time I promise to remember to mark it so I don't miss anything.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Glad you managed to catch the update! I'm updating on Mondays and Thursdays at the moment, but that will have to change when I run out of chapters. Only 5 have been written so far, but I will keep writing!
I might have held my breath this entire chapter. Fortunately, I read quickly.I love how Severus and Lucius were entirely physically absent from the chapter. That added even further to the tension.Bravo!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! Delighted the tension worked for you!
*gleefully rubs hands in eager anticipation of trouble*Charming. Wizards' reactions to Hermione were way over the top, but I enjoyed the ride immensely. It was wonderfully amusing.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the ride!
Oh that was great. The first half of this chapter was so funny. Lucius was so funny, and I can always count on his dialouge for a chuckle. The second half great because you described what Hermione is going through perfectly. I love how you write these main three. I'm off to read the next update. Thanks for a great chapter. Much Love ~ Brena
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! Lucius does seem to work well as the comic relief. I'm delighted that you like my handling of the main three!
Umbridge and Fudge, thats one couple that should remain monogamous! Did they pass the fertility test? I certeinly hope not. Good job!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
I certainly pity the second wizard required to be in that union!Thank you!
OMFG!!! You got FUDGE and UMBRIDGE!?!! Muchas Smuchas!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thanks! I just couldn't resist it.
I’m not sure which I am more pleased about.
1. The fact that Hermione got Severus out of jail and protected their marriage or
2. That Delores is married to Fudge.
They are both delightful events! Thanks for the speedy update my dear.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! They were fun to write, too.I just wish I could do speedy updates more often...
And in the proceedings of this semi-averted disaster, I can't help but think that Cornelius Fudge got the wife he deserved.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Indeed he did! Thank you!
I think that the knowlegde of Fugde being married to Umbrigde just made my day:-)) I also love Hermione on a warpath, especially when she does so to protect her Severus:-))
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! It was irresistable. Glad to hear it! Hermione on the warpath was fun to write.
Cornelius Fudge ... married to Umbridge?!?!Dear Lord, with the fact that witches and wizards are slower to physically age than muggles, PLEASE tell me that Umbridge and Fudge are incapable of bearing young. The potential offspring of that union are just too horrifying to contemplate.As is the thought of them attempting to copulate in the first place. But the way Hermione took on Fudge and the Wizengamot was truly priceless! I especially loved this part:“I suggest you release Severus Snape before I lose my temper. You don’t have enough proof against him for a fair trial, and without that you have no right to hold him any longer. If you don’t let him go free, I will, and I don’t care what I break in order to do so.”Hahahahaa, I see even Fudge wasn't stupid enough to stand in her way ... had he been fool enough to try, I'm not sure the MoM itself would be standing once Hermione retrieved her man.Lioness Hermione RULES!!!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
I'd hope that Fudge and Umbridge are past child bearing age. Very scary thought if they aren't!Thank you! I hoped Hermione on the warpath would be as fun to read as it was for me to write it. She definitely does rule!
I'm a bit late coming into this story, but just wanted to let you know that I'm enjoying it immensely! Love the sniping between Lucius and Severus in this chapter; Lucius being smug that he doesn't have to attend two weddings, Severus countering that Lucius has to be his best man so yes he does... Also, the line about Crookshanks being a minor demon masquerading as a cat was priceless!I'm looking forward to see how Hermione will exert her terrifiying force of will upon the Ministry, especially with the Malfoy money behind her. Great work, and I'm off to the next chapter!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! I'm delighted to hear it. Playing Severus and Lucius against each other is fun to write, I'm glad it is to read, too!
Dolores Fudge née Umbridge(faints) please tell me she is post-menopausal!! and who is the other sick wizard who is part of that marriage??this was a very fun chapter, but is anyone besides me concerned about Lucius' whereabouts? either he too is in a holding cell like Severus, or he should be with Hermione helping to get Severus released. thanks for the new chapter - you always surprise us with your twists and humor!!
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Hopefully she is! Sick or poor, I'm not sure which!Thank you! It was fun to write too.As for where Lucius is, that's coming up in the next chapter.
Response from June W (Reviewer)
any ETA on the next chapter?
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
It's with my betas at the moment. I've had it back from two out of three, so hopefully not much longer to wait!
Great chapter. Hermione's quite the force to be reckoned with when she gets riled up.
Response from ayerf (Author of Polyandry and Other Problems)
Thank you! Indeed she is.
