Really unique and lovely story. So glad I tripped over it! :)
This is more exciting with each chapter. I have absolutely no idea how everything will turn out and it makes the whole story even more interesting. I'm also glad to finally discover this inside world they're going to live in. And finally: wow an update so soon, it's almost Christmas.
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Wow. Thank you! Your review made my day! Next chapter will be up shortly.

Wow, the story gets more and more interesting! I'm having a ball reading it - hope you're having as much fun writing it! Do you have it all outlined, or are you making it up as you go?
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Dear M,I thank you for your interest in our tale. To answer your question, the first Imperio covered the entire outline, up to and including the epilogue.Whether the writer has fun or not is really of no consequence. She'll hardly know what she's been doing, seeing as she's been under the Imperius Curse since late April. Alas, I will release her from it once she's written down the last word, and then she is welcome to write her own mediocre tales again to bore the readership with.Yours,Lucius Malfoy

Wow. This is turning into an exceedingly interesting story full of suspense. Keep up the good work!

I am glad to see Harry is not being a prat about things and Severus also willing to apparently let bygones be bygones. I hope now the fun begins. Well done. Irish

Are you saying there hasn't been fun up to now? LOL

That chapter took them a long way! Sounds like there may be a Harry/Ginny/Draco threesome in the offing as well, hmm? :)

Wonderful. I find being carried/or carrying to be a wonderful way to comfort. I know that I carry my children to comfort them.

Good God! This tale is most intriguing. I've never read any of the three in this light. I am enchanted. Please update post haste. Words cannot properly describe how much I like it.Aaliyah

Dear Messrs Snape and Malfoy,I adored reading about your interactions with Hermione's children: so kind and patient and diverting. I have always found the true measure of a man can be taken by his treatment of animals and children, and you both have impressed me admirably. I am enjoying this tale immensely and eagerly anticipate the next chapter. Kindly,Ms F
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Dear Ms F,Lucius is currently on a mission in London, so I'm having to answer letters. Thank Merlin my sneer is not visible in letters.I am told by Hermione to express gratitude for your view on a man's true measure, so there; that's now done.I do like the fact that you are enjoying our tale and am pleased to inform you that the next instalment will appear shortly.Yours,S Snape

Oooh, are we going to Shangri-La? Fun! I really like how Severus is just taking care of everything, no fuss. Very efficient.
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Dear Ms L.,No, not quite Shangri-La. But not far from it.Severus has always been very efficient, even when he was young, and he's only improved with age.I take it you still find the account agreeable, seeing that you have left my some shiny stars again. I thank you.Yours,Lucius Malfoy
Response from peppermint (Reviewer)
Dear Mr. Malfoy, If you're not careful with those shiny stars all over your robes, you're going to look like Dumbledore. Perhaps you should shrink them down and scatter them in your hair to make it even more gorgeous.I'm just concerned for your reputation as a snappy dresser. yours, Ms. L

I bet that is a sight to behold. This story is so Mafiaish. I love it. Brilliant as always. Until next chapter.

I'm so glad that Severus was able to thwart Edwina's plans. I hope Lucius didn't cause any difficulties for them by mentioning the office break-in. But, of course, being the consummate Slytherin, he surely wouldn't let that morsel of information loose if it didn't serve his purposes. ;)
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Well, he never did mention it, did he? He merely used the same phrase she had in Hermione's office. :))Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Loved how Severus handled the rescue. Edwina is horrible and Ro's got to be under a spell to be with the likes of her. Poor kids.

Yes, you hit the nail on the head. Thanks for reviewing! *hands stars over to Lucius*

~stares then flails arms~ oooo! Ooooo! i do! i like what i see! yup!

You do look rather charming standing there flailing your arms. And I'm very happy that you do like what you see!Thank you for reviewing and the stars! :)

This is beginning to be sooooo interesting. Maybe I'm a tiny little bit disapointed that Lucus didn't invite her to join them... Maybe.
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Maybe... Or maybe you find the tension... interesting?

AAAWWW MAANN! That is an evil teaser ending and you know it!I think it was interesting that they apparated with the intent of lingerie shopping, and then bought a dress. Funny.
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Well, the chapter had to end somewhere, and I figured this was just as appropriate a place to end it as any. ;)Those three together are rather spontaneous, aren't they? LOLThank you for the review!

I can see this is the beginning of where I will cringe. I assume Snape is gay and Lucius is bi and Hermione is het. So it will be Snape and Hermione sharing Lucius if there is a threesome. I guess I am just too jealous to share. Even in fanfiction. However, I will hang in there, peeking.

And you leave off THERE? You wicked, wicked writer! Say, I wonder if anyone can do up a manip of Hermione in that dress?
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Rest assured, it is not the writer who is wicked, as Lucius has the last word of what is included and what is left out. Naturally, we all would be honoured if someone managed to show how Hermione looked in that dress. Both Lucius and I would insist on quality work, as you can no doubt imagine.Yours,Severus Snape
