Reviews for Travel, Conspiracy, and Men
So, did Hermione and Lucius cause the earthquake? Is Hermione tired because she's pregnant? Too many questions! Oh, goody, another chapter is already up. I may find out some answers.

You may find some answers, yes. :pThanks for reviewing!

Sheesh! Well, that was rather an inauspicious 'threesome'! (I know, I know -- they didn't want to be late for dinner.)Anyway, the rest of the chapter wasn't nearly as disappointing. Snerk!Looking forward to more.

Being an author myself, and one who knows the value of leaving your readers anticipating the next chapter, I don't even mind the evil cliffie! (Especially since I'm SO FAR behind in my reading/reviewing that all I have to do is hit the 'next' button to find out what happened)Thanks for sharing.

I continue to be fascinated by this story. R/L has reared its ugly head and I'm afraid I'm terribly behind in both reading and reviewing. I hope to get caught up soon, though, and this story is high on my list.

I was wondering if you'd lost interest in the story, LOL.Thanks for reviewing!

Is she falling in love with Severus? He called her love and she needs his touch. Not that I complain of course but I was so occupied with that wonderful conspiracy that I forgot about the romantic goals of the story. Just another proof how brilliant you are (and YEAH for quick updates. Are you planning to finish before the dead line ? If it's th case: Double YEAH)

!You'll get a more definite answer to your first question in about Ch 17 I think. :) I'm planning to have it completed before the voting starts, although I doubt I'll manage to finish it by October 1st. But we are winding down now, and there isn't a lot more to come. :)

For the brightest of her age, she seems so dependant on the men. I"m so glad the kids are all right. That Apparation around the globe - wow. So what's next - little people?
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Well, she did suffer a bit from the stress and was grateful to be able to hang on to the guys...Thank you for reviewing and the shiny stars!

I can sympathise completely with Hermione. The lack of Severus' touch makes me feel empty too.:)

I totally love that Hugo admires Snape in such a way. Awesome. As for Snape and Hermione finally being alone... well, I'm totally biased and am really excited about that! LOL

Okay now this is a definitely a twist. Is Hermione going to get a sample of solo Severus while Lucius is in London. You threw me for a loop with the Potter Draco curve. Are you going there too?
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Only Lucius knows where I'm going, as he's dictating the tale... But I doubt he'd find it pleasant to watch his son.Thanks for the review and the shiny stars!

Okay, I caved...Watching this story being updated with such a regularity, I simply had to join the fun, even if I had no clue what to expect when I read the summary. I really like this story (which I have just spent a huge part of my day on reading) and that is something as this mystery/people-from-inside-the-earth-thing is usually not my kind of story. I also really like Hermione simply being with Lucius without there being threesomes all over the place!I'll keep reading if you'll keep updating...gab

With friends like Lucius, Severus, Harry and McGonagall, Hermione is with the "A" Team, and The Evil Edwina will find she is playing strictly Bush League.Great chapter! I'm so happy Rose an Hugo are safely back with their mother where they can be watched over and protected. And last, but most assuredly not least, Severus is way beyond cool!!! I love it!!!Beth
Response from karelia (Author of Travel, Conspiracy, and Men)
Dear beffeysue,"A" Team? Is that a Muggle show or something? I do like your reference to the Bush League, very well spotted!Ah, yes, we couldn't bear the thought of Hermione suffering for long; she is much happier with her children than without them, despite their questionable paternity. Thankfully, her genes clearly showed more strength.Hugo is rather fond of Severus, I'll admit. Not that I'm surprised. I've been fond of him for a very long time.I thank you for your communication and in particular for the stars. Yours,Lucius Malfoy

I want a kitchen like that! Another great chapter from the mysterious HBV, gosh you seem to write a lot of stories... :P

I'm glad the children are safe and I'm sure Harry will be understanding about everything. ANd I would just add a little warning to Ms Wilson : look at your back because you wouldn't want to be at the dead end of Hermione's wand. She will have no mercy for you having kidnapped her chilen.

Oui, c'est bien, ne c'est pas?Teehee, love the warning to Edwina!Thank you for reading and reviewing and the stars. Which Lucius once again snagged. :)

Lovely chapter! I'm so glad they could rescue the children.
How promising that it is the combination of Severus and Lucius that alleviated Hermione's sense of foreboding and made her feel safe :D
As always, looking forward to more.
