    Ah, our dear sweet Lucius making deals with the hat. The animated hat gets an oil rubdown in exchange for some discreet student placement in later years. Ah, but all he has to do is smile and it makes the whole world better, no?

    Well, I suppose all else I have to comment on is SWEET JUMPING CRAP TWINS!!!! Oh, as soon as she said that I had a vision of a blonde Fred and George. Twin boys would be so much more fun. *Snuggles*

    I changed the front of my profile to project my real age. I basically wrote that when I created my account, and then forgot about it. Anyhooters. Continue the fine work, and I do hope you have some more of our resident Potions Master soon. He can stir my cauldron any time. *Grins at corny innuendo*

    I enjoyed it, and I hope Hermy warms up to the idea of children soon. I hate to see her so depressed. *Give tub of chocolate ice cream.*

    Hi!

    I am a brave lurker. I like the interaction between the characters. No matter how bad someone might seem, someone likes them. And in this story, Lucius has Snape, Narcissa and Draco.

    I really like this story.

    Thanks!

    I don't know who's more evil, the hat, Lucius or you. LMAO A deal with a hat for Slytherin children?! Egads! I hope Hermione finds out and denies him sex for a week! lol Their reactions (and the conversation about it) to her pregnancy (Twins?! EEK!) was fun and funny. It's hysterical to me how much their love of one another has softened them to each other, but how neither has particularly noticed the other's changed actions and reactions. Lu and Sev talking to each other always succeeds in makeing me laugh and/or smile, so thanks for that, too. You positively rock; did you know that? Well, you do. Thank you. HG4eva

    Epilogues are fun :D

    I agree pretty much with everything you said about your views on purebloods etc. Just a few minor difference here and there, nothing big.

    There are no such thing as hippogriffs :P
    Sorry, couldn't resist :)

    Lucius really needs a new wand. Maybe he could just put his old one in a glass case and put it on display? Then he could occasionally take it down and swish it for old times sake.

    Just burst out in laughter at the thought of Snape, up to his nose in baby bottoms!

    Pygmy puffs...

    Wait, none of the Weaselys or even Harry as godparents? I mean there are 2 children which can mean 4 godparents...

    Ooh! The Room of Requirement can talk? Awesome!

    What happens if one of the children are so clearly meant to be in one of the other houses? Maybe Lucius will have mellowed some more in 11 years time and will be ok with a child not sorted into Slytherin. Also, I assumed that Godric would have put some sort of spell on the hat that would require for it to place each student in the house most appropriate for them?

    I hope there are more children and some of Hermione's friends get to be godparents. If Hermione can learn to tolerate Lucius' friends and ex-wife, then he can learn to tolerate her friends too!

    I absolutely love this story. The intelligent witty banter is priceless. Your selection of words is very crafty, and it is fun to constantly looking up new vocabulary. I love the way you are developing the relationship between Lucius and Hermione from at first utter animosity to now tender love. Wonderful!
    I am a fan of your take on the sorting hat. It is one of my favorite "persons" now. Lucius actively endeavoring into bribing the hat to sort his twins into Slytherin once they become of Hogwarts age ... priceless :D
    You take great care to present the long term friendship between Snape and Lucius, with all their emotional background, and the situation with Snape now being married to Lucius' ex-wife. Everything you describe sounds so believable and sincere. I am deeply impressed.

    Thank you very much for this wonderful story.

    Oh my! I have spent the last few days catching up to current chapter posts and I must say I am enthralled by your characters and your lovely lemons! I normally have a hard time seeing Hermione with Lucius and every having the slightest chance of Happiness, but this fiery start has all the makings of a long standing hatred gone Love! I love the Hat, I do believe it should sort itself into the beloved Slytherin House! But honestly Lucius' reaction to Hufflepuff's would have been priceless!

    Just about all the characters annoy me in this story. I feel like taking a ball bat to Snape, Hermione and Lucius without exception. The injustice of them forcing marriage on Hermione just grates on my nerves. But then her response was just as annoying. I like the mystery of who is causing the Pureblood persecution and how it's being done. The sorting hat was very entertaining. The sex is great. In other words, your writing is superb and I feel totally involved in the story. I wouldn't change a thing. Happy now that I'm no longer lurking. You know some of us do like to just watch, since we can't participate, exactly.

    I do love the interactions between Lucius and the Hat. And Snape, wow, who knew he could be hurt so easily. Well, anyway, I love the idea of using the Room of Requirement if it is amenable.

    TWINS!! Holy Hell you aren't going to go easy on Luc are you?! This is gonna get really interesting if Hermione's early mood swings are any indication. I can't wait to see what the ROR finds out about the origin of the toxin and how it's being administered. And may I just say....Snape is sounding a little jealous at Luc's good fortune. Bad form for him.

    Wonderful Update!!!!

    I simply adored this chapter. I was chuckling at several different points, obviously enjoying the witty dialogue.

    Hermione was a hoot in the beginning of the chapter with her wayward emotions. It was laughable how one moment she was hating him, blaming Lucius for all the horror of her life and the next she's clutching onto him like a babe with a security blanket. Too funny. I especially loved the line about ruining his tie but that he could use it later to tie her up.

    Snape was great in this chapter, although I am definitely not a Snape fan. It was somewhat endearing when he quietly asked Lucius if he was going to be godfather or not. Very sweet, if a Slytherin can be sweet.

    Let's see, what else. Oh, Lucius admitting that his wand is broken. Honestly, it cracks me up everytime Snape mentions how faulty it is, but Lucius admitting that it was sputtering and wonky was classic. I laughed so hard at that part. I loved how he said that he was so fond of it that he tried to fix it himself. LOL

    Last thing and then I'm done. The deal with the hat to sort the twins into Slytherin was great. Only he could think like that and end up taking that much control over his children. LOL. Honestly though, I really don't think that the kids would have been sorted into any other house anyway. Hermione has too much Slytherin in her and combined with Lucius.... they are going to have one hell of a life with their two children.

    So, great work and update soon!

    Just a quickie from me this time, but feel free to keep tabs for future recompense...

    You know I enjoy the steamy sections, but the banter? It's SUPERB. *is tempted to hit the Slytherins with a Chastity Curse just to keep the railleries coming*

    Nah... Not even I'm THAT cruel.

    ch 46 - poor Hermione, with pregnancy hormones AND that anti-Pureblood toxin in her system. Sounds like Luna has things under control. Lucius should tell Hermione about Snape being godfather, but she has choice of godmother; not sure about names for babies, but I assume they each have veto control. I enjoyed the Sorting Hat's appearance, and what a deal they made! Had to laugh at the Room of Requirement being sentient; definitely no more sex in the RoR. Hmm, can the RoR be Obliviated? Heh! Thank you for the new chapter!

    Another appearance of the sorting hat! I really love the way you use him. I'm worried a bit about the little Malfoys, though. What if one or more of them are actually Griffindors? How will they survive all of those scheming Slytherins? Daddy Malfoy will probably be too smitten to harden them to the possibilities. ;D Twins! I didn't expect twins! Lovely. I started out with twins, lost one early but I remember the early breast enlargement and the bizarre early ten pounds of weight that I just couldn't seem to lose but didn't hit me anywhere but my 'gut'. And thank you for your explanation of wizard genetics in this story. It differs a bit from what Jo says, so it really helps with the perspective of how the story is developing. The situation with the purebloods and the muggleborns makes more sense now. And a sentient ROR is an excellent idea! And it's ornery, too! lol. Poor Lucius had better be on his best, slippery political self. He needs to know where the toxin is entering. Now I have to think about things in your world that the old lady in the parchment store, students at Hogwarts, and businessmen in the wizarding world all come into contact with that would be able to transfer the toxin...

    I'm loving it! Truly I avoided it after the first few chapters, finding Lucius intolerable and Hermione unlikeable... But this is LaBib, of course I couldn't stay away for long. NOW it's just plain perfect, I think you've painted a very realistic picture of what these two would truly be like as they got to know one another. Now that genuine love is at play on both sides I'm flying high, as realistic or not I was squicked earlier. What can I say? I'm a cheese puff at heart. And Twins! Brilliant. So many possibilities, and you'd better not be considering miscarriage missy. I apologize for not reviewing more frequntly, but I read this on my phone, and this short review has taken about five minutes to tap out on this little keyboard, so you see my dilemma. (Not to mention whatever spelling/grammer mistakes must be floating around up there.) I'll make a stronger effort in the future, remembering how much feedback can mean. :) In summary, great story (as always) great chracters, great plot, and now that they care for each other, great sex. You're the whole package wrapped up in regular updates.
