Oh, that was quite interesting.  I can't wait to see what is next. 

Taliesin West is beautiful, but I'm sort of partial to Taliesin Wisconsin.  *shrug* Can't help it; totally biased.  Sometimes I miss Wisconsin, if only for the green scenery and the beer.... Which would mean I only miss Wisconsin in the warmer seasons.  Although... in the colder seasons, there's still the beer!Excellent, excellent, my dear.  Oh, let's see.  This little quote: "I’d rather not share you. For now."  I hope that is foretelling of future chapters?

Yikes!  I almost forgot to review! I just clicked Next 'cause I needed to read more.Very hot Malfoy sex...  That's definitely straight out of my fantasites-that-still-need-to-be-realized folder.Oh, yes, and the rest of the story is good too.  Am looking forward to how you're going to figure in the rest.  But, of course, you have to forgive me for forgetting all about plot points once you introduce Lucius and his tongue.

This story is quickly becoming a favourite.
I like the subplot about the government turning slowly totalitarian. Oh, and I wonder if Hermione isn't going to discover a new side of herself...
Looking very much forward to more.

Lovely chapter! I like the relationship between Lucius and Hermione. Maybe it'll turn into a threesome??? *wibbles*

Oh no! And I was just getting into the story. I do so hate WIPs. Oh well. But it's wonderful so far! I was wondering about the characters and the HG/LM thing going on, but I'm enjoying it thus far. More, please!

Oh, bad boy Lucius, instigating a three-some? Too bad Hermione missed the implications! I wonder what Severus is going to say when she shows up with Lucius? I loved the Apparation tract and that all Portkeys are now regulated. Seems so much like ‘where’s your papers’ from WWII! Or trying to fly now after 9-11! I hope they find out the cause of the ‘new regulations/laws soon!

I like this chapter. When does Severus get involved? Look forward to updates. Keep them coming.

Hermione may find her voyeuristic side after all...I can't wait for Severus to join them. I wonder how he will react to the Pheonix heat?

I'm starting to detect some rodent odour in the Ministry. I'm looking forward to seeing who's behind all the new laws.I'm also looking forward to Severus joining the party!

Sure, she wouldn't want to watch Lucius and Severus, but maybe she may want to join in...?

The Ministry has taken actions. It can't be good. Hope our brilliant three could do something before it's too late.Just a little question: what diefference is there between antivenin and anti-venom?

And the last sentence says it all.

*happy satisfied smile*  I do love the all grown up Know-It-All, especially since she knows she doesn't but does know how to find out. 

Glad to hear more about the politics involved, as well as Hermione's personal life and Snape's backstory.  A nice mix.  Snape will be a good person to have on her side when she has to fight, be it with wands or in the courts of law and public opinion.

You are making a lovely oppressive government.  Baby steps are the way to go to slip into it! I'm glad Hermione is not jealous of Severus. 

That was a nice complicated chapter. 

Molly, ever ready to blame Hermione for whatever is wrong in the relationship between her and Ron. Lucius, rubbed Hermione's nose in his intensely sexual relationship with Severus. She apparently is willing to share, I guess share or she doesn't have a relationship with Lucius anymore. However, I thought Lucius's comment was cruel. I think I would have ended it over a comment like that. Yes, he's arrogant, yes, he's pompus. However, clearly Hermione does not mean very much to him if he would say something as thoughtless as that when supposedly, he is trying to determine if she is willing to accept he wants both partners. I guess she is not looking for a serious relationship so why not have a handsome lover? Beyond that, his heart is elsewhere.

It sounds like it's time for Hermione to give up her squick against voyeurism.  That's the only way to join in the action.  Ha ha!!  ;-9

I enjoyed this chapter and I am looking forward to reading more.

Go Hermione! Great chapter!

I'm happy that Snape's alive, and I hope to see more action being done about these ridiculous laws!

Dear Mystery Author:Severus is alive!  How "cool"  if that is not a 70's turn of phrase I am a monkey's uncle. Hmm Lucius assured Hermione there would not be another woman involved...does this mean a possible three-some.  Hermione sure is a lucky lady. I am glad Harry set Molly straight, but I would have loved to have seen Hermione go ballistic on her and tell her just what she thinks about her two timing offspring!Well doneIrish

I like your political subplot and look forward to seeing what happens when Hermione finally meets Snape.

excitement....
