Great first chapter! I'm interested in finding out who Ron's little tart is and how she was able to get Hermione shipped off to Arizona! Glad the second chapter is in queue already!

Well my interest is definately sparked with this opening.  There are enough questions to keep me interested -- Who is the woman Ron is seeing?  What does she have to do with Hermione being offered the job exchange?  How did Lucius become a widower?  Will all the action take place in Arizona or will they head back to England? and most importantly -- Where has Severus been for twenty years and when is he going to show up here?  I look forward to your next installment.  Thanks, JoAnne

Oh who's he dating? Nah...I don't care...love it love it love it...

I'm already suspicious to who wrote this, but I'll keep mum until I'm sure. LOL at the rattlesnake operation, and I wonder why Hermione is in Arizona -- and why is Lucius concerned? (and yay! Prompt challenge has begun!)

It doesn't surprise me that Ronnikins has some on the side.  It would more surprise me if he didn't.  LOL "Call me bitch,"  I am the exact same way about my married name.  That is my monster-in-law not me.  OMG.  If you don't want him,  please send this way. PLEASE.  NO, say it isn't Draco.  Please say it's Pansy or Luna or hell even Dobby.  Just not Draco.  Oh man,  I can't wait to see where this is going.  Tamara

Love it, can't wait for the update.Excellent cliffie !   

Good beginning, I'll be back to see what else happens!!

Call me Granger, call me Hermione, hell, call me bitch. Do. Not. Call. Me. Mrs. Weasley!That has got to be my favourite line so far! Lovely start, I'm very intrigued to find out who Ron has been playing away with now...

Very interesting.  A concerned Lucius is a bit disturbing, but this could go anywhere, so I'm looking forward to see where you take it.  :-)

Oh my, I live in Mesa in the shadow of the Superstition Mountains.  How nice to have Hermione and Snape (I hope) in town for a visit.  :)

ooohh. can't wait for vacation!snape! yeah, i can sympathize with hermione's rude awakening regarding the arizona desert. when i read "warm weather for part of the year" i snorted. and i remember vividly the first time i saw a rattlesnake lying across my path - just a little nervous-making. i'm really looking forward to reading more of your story. *bookmarks* and finding out what's on lucius's mind. by the way, fyi, i do believe the city in arizona is 'tempe', not 'tempeh'.

ooooh a mystery.  I like it so far, although I've got a sneaking suspician Ron is banging Narcissa.  Of course, i could be totally off the mark and he could be banging Draco.  *insert evil giggle*

Oh, this could prove to be quite interesting. Bookmarking this one and will wait patiently for the next chapter! :D

Wow.  I am intrigued. This is definitely going in bookmarks. I need to read more.  Please update soon!

Ohh, evil cliffy. Great start though, can't wait for more :)

You have got me intrigued.  Looking forward to more!

Interesting. The thought of Lucius in Arizona is entertaining. Looking forward to more!

Great start

Interesting.  Lucius being concerned is a bit scary. 

Great start. :)

I have really enjoyed this story. Not usually my type (with 3 together) but I was pleasantly surprised by this one.

Thank you for such an imaginative, thought provoking story.   
Just one thing - when reading I couldn't quite figure out from the "waking up for the sixth time" if that part was six years in the future or if they had just spent the day snoozing and indulging... By the end it looks like six years in the future based on Hugo's apprenticeship (love that idea).
You created such a joyful life for them all, yay!!!

It's not often that you find a fanfic with this much originiality.  I would have liked to hear more about the 20 controlling families, though, and how the wizarding world and the residents of utopia found out about them and monitored them.  I also would have liked to have heard more about the residents of utopia.The one concern I have is that sometimes, Lucius' (and to a lesser extent, Severus') speech seemed common and sloppy; not the aristocratic snobbery we've grown to expect from him.  If this was a product of their conversion from the Dark Eaters, I missed that being explained.

*DAMN*!  (I really did gasp out loud . . . )

Well she's not properly "skiving off" if she can't really get any work done anyway, now is she?  ;)
